The Benda Chinchilla 450. Of course it is.

This is annoying, I'm sure I've seen one but can't remember what it is.

Chinese shit I imagine.

Yeah, GBoLs.

Fuck off you Chinese cunts.


Merry Christmas, everyone else.....

What many consider to be the world's most successful investor, Warren Buffet, has been selling off his shares in them:

https://apnews.com/article/berkshire-ha ... c7cf90c1fa

"OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett’s company continues selling off its stake in Chinese electric car manufacturer BYD and now holds less than 10% of the company’s stock.

Berkshire Hathaway revealed the latest sale of 1.96 million BYD shares worth about $58.9 million ($462 million Hong Kong dollars) Monday in a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange. The Omaha, Nebraska-based conglomerate still owns more than 108 million shares, but that stake is less than half the size of the 225 million shares it held until it began selling last August.

Buffett has yet to explain why he has been selling stock in a company he has praised so highly in the past, and he wasn’t asked about it at Berkshire’s annual meeting on Saturday. But Buffett doesn’t generally comment on the stocks he is buying or selling while he is still making those moves."

He almost certainly doesn't need the cash so I imagine that he suspects trouble ahead, possibly as a result of US and EU EV tariffs and restrictions and is cashing out at a higher price than he'd get later.

BYD something or another. There's a few obscure white goods popping up lately. I can sense another great wall steed moment in about a year or so.

There’s a dealer just round the corner to me. It was built as Jaguar dealership, then became SEAT, for a couple of years it was one of those online places Cinch or Cazoo, now a BYD. Seems like the place is cursed.

What are those Great Wail things like? Crude but effective or just shit with zero parts availability.

Anyway I always get Jimmy Buffett confused with Warren...

My mate had a DR hire car, Chinese but re-engineered by its Italian owners (they put some badges on it).

Asked him what it was like. He said "It would have been better if they put an engine in it". Apparently 1500cc but with no power.

And the rear looks like a 70's custom car builder did it with his 4 sets of left over '59 Caddy rear lights.
