Default Every Now and then... I Love My Job

So, in the world of Int'l Exports there not much excitement... but occasionally we do have something rather cool that pops up and allows us to rekindle that love for what we do...

Other than that, we're walking around looking at lumber (wood for those that dont know) and marveling at how straight it is, or if it's heat treated or not... etc... you know you've been in cargo too freaking long when you start to take notice of some fine lumber.

Either way, on to the cool stuff...

I get notice that a guy is going to drop off a car for us to export to HKG, to my surprise... this is what it is...:





I would post more pictures but my internet at work sucks, and won't let me upload very much.

The actor's name is Aaron Kwok.

never heard of him, but my friend from Hong Kong in my office says he's pretty well known.

Yes, he's pretty well known. Used to know him as a singer, but his career has turned into more actor now. And he's known for car collections.

pictures are working for me??? i dont get it... it's just a simple copy/past from photobucket

Gotta admit the car is nice, i'd trade my left kidney for it... unless i could get the Stradia for the kidney... lol

I have a short video of us playing around... i really wanted to get a good video of the exhaust... sounded like nothing i've heard before...

I must be too much of a car guy, hearing the sound of it in person brought a tear to my eye.

*it was so beautiful* *sniffles*

lol
