Walker Hall is a reliable man, and the next day he came to pick up Yang Shubao after work and take him to see the car.

The mobile phone signal was intermittent in the wilderness, and the two were not very in touch, Hall waited in the fast food restaurant for a while and drove to find him without waiting for Yang Shubao, and the car was picked up and delivered.

He took a photo of the three-wheeled car with his mobile phone, and handed it to Yang Shubao after meeting him to let him see if it fit his eyes.

"It's a BMW-R75-79, do you know the BMW-R75?" he asked as he drove.

Yang Shubao shook his head: "I don't know much." ”

"How much do you know?"

"It's a three-wheeled car. ”

Hall rolled his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, this car was born in World War II and was once the standard equipment of the ** mountain division, you know that at that time, the Allies and the Axis countries relied on three-wheeled motorcycles and developed many classic models, right? Don't tell me that you don't know this." ”

Yang Shubao said: "Oh, I know this. ”

"So what models do you know?"

"I know there are many classics that have appeared, but I don't know what the specific model is. ”

Hall was dead to him, and no longer asked, and introduced himself.

During World War II, both the Allied and Axis armies relied heavily on the excellent mobility and maneuverability of side tricycles, which were often used for elite transport, all-terrain pursuit, and arms transport, and even used to move artillery.

Among them, the German army was the most outstanding three-wheeler, at that time the Germans could ride motorcycles more than cars, and in terms of production capacity, the production of three-wheeled motorcycles was much lower than the production of cars.

The BMW-R75 is the trump card of many three-wheeled motorcycle models produced by the German army, because it is so classic that it was not eliminated after the war, but entered the civilian market.

Hall told him that the BMW-R75-79 they were going to see was an improved version of the African civilian market, which was finalized in 1969 by South African motorcycle master Nel Jean and went on to be popular in South Africa for two decades.

Hearing this, Yang Shubao beat a little drum: "This car has been out for half a century?

Hall said: "It was designed for half a century, and the car we went to see was less than 30 years old, rest assured, its performance is very good, I won't cheat you." ”

Yang Shubao believes that Hall and Maison are reliable people.

The owners of the tuks live on the outskirts of Hluchluve, where the houses are built in a scattered manner, not as dotted and neat as in the small towns, and much worse in appearance, many of which have no walls or are fenced with wood.

Hall pushed open the fence door and shouted, and a young black man covered in alcohol staggered out: "Ha, Walker, my old fellow, has your car broken down again?"

Yang Shubao couldn't stand the smell of alcohol, but he needed to keep smiling for the sake of politeness.

Hall said angrily: "Fake Squid Ezobik, you will die in the hands of alcohol sooner or later if you drink all day, I will bring someone to see the car, what about the BMW three-wheeler left by your father?"

Ezobic suddenly patted the back of his head and said, "Sorry man, I forgot to entrust you to sell the car, come here, it will stay good." ”

There were simple wings in the courtyard, and a young black man pulled back a blue tarpaulin, and a vintage car with mottled paint showed its face.

At first glance, Yang Shubao didn't like it, and the car was actually much more dilapidated than in the photos.

He pulled Hall and whispered, "That's not the car in the photo." ”

Hall also whispered, "I photoshopped a little. ”

Stepping on a horse, Yang Shubao secretly scolded, since the birth of PS, the trust between people has dropped sharply, not only women deceive men, but even machines have begun to deceive men.

Don't look at Ezobik's drunkenness and don't seem to be out of tune, in fact, he knows the car well: "The mother of this car is the BMW-R75, you know the BMW-R75? It was the most iconic side three-wheeled motorcycle equipment in World War II." BMW began research and development in 1938, and after two years of careful research, it began production, and then produced 20,000 ...... in one go."

Yang Shubao asked, "Can I launch it and try it?"

Ezobic shrugged and said: "Of course, there is oil in it, you can try it casually, its engine is well maintained, the intelligent air-cooled V-shaped engine, the horizontal opposition design, has not been outdated until now." ”

The condition of the car is really good, as soon as the key is twisted, it starts immediately, and Yang Shubao roars the car with a slight throttle.

Seeing this, he liked the car a little in his heart: "The engine seems to be well preserved." ”

"My dad had a 1206cc overhaul before he died, and he was able to keep it powered at 4000 rpm. And look here, the car is axle-driven, with a locking differential, you can choose off-road and off-road transmission modes, and the fastest speed can reach 80 miles per hour, which is not fast, but it is enough. Ezobic continued.

Yang Shubao nodded hurriedly, brother, you are too polite, this speed is definitely enough, a three-wheeled motorcycle with a speed of one hundred and twenty or thirty kilometers per hour, what kind of trouble is this?

The most interesting thing about this three-wheeled motorcycle is that it carries on the tradition of military vehicles, equipped with a useful wheel suspension control system that can be adjusted to suit different road conditions.

In addition, because of the poor road conditions in the rainy season in South Africa, this car is specially endowed with strong wading ability, and all its circuits and oil circuits are closed, even if the engine is submerged, it can still drive!

Hall opened the chassis and showed him, and sure enough, the machine inside the car was better maintained than the appearance, the appearance was mainly dusty, stained with oil and the protective paint was peeling, and there was nothing wrong with other places.

Yang Shubao nodded that he was willing to buy the car, Hall helped him negotiate the price again, and finally 1,800 rand bought the car.

Converted into RMB, it was 900 yuan, and he felt that it was very suitable to buy a partial three-wheeled one with military vehicle pedigree at this price.

He also gave Hall 200 rand in intermediary fees, South Africa's interpersonal relationships are inherited from the colonial country of Britain, business is business, favors and business cannot be mixed, and the reason why Hall is so active is to make money.

The appearance of the car was a little unpresentable, and Yang Shubao wanted to repaint and do maintenance again, so Hall drove in front to lead the way.

As a result, the car stalled not far away, and the two were a little dumbfounded, Hall got out of the car and said, "It shouldn't be, I saw the machine just now and there is no problem." ”

There is really no problem with the machine, but the car is out of gas.

The black brothers are also very good at doing business, and some of them are smart.

This is a minor problem, the old Land Rover took the old BMW to the gas station, and after filling up the gasoline is another good horse.

It's just that the oil is a little problematic, and the color is whitish.

Yang Shubao subconsciously shook his head after seeing it, many private refineries in South Africa have a large gap in process level, and the quality of the extracted gasoline is also different.

Hall was not surprised by this: "You drove from Hluchluwe to Cape Town, across the whole country, and you added all kinds of oil during that time, red, yellow, green, blue, after all, this is the Rainbow Country." ”
