Is this the Chinese version of the new Land Rover Defender based on the DC100 concept No just a copy from BAIC


Is this the Chinese version of the new Land Rover Defender, based on the DC100 concept? No, just a copy from BAIC
-

Seems someone in China, in particular in BAIC, really liked the DC100 Concept which was released a few months ago by Land Rover and decided they should do something similar.
 

This model will be part of the rebirth of the Zhan Qi class of SUVs which were very popular many years ago, thanks to its robustness and cheap price. How about the price? and the engine? Dimensions? I have no idea.

Mini “The 500 is a darling little car… but we’re a premium brand”


minipacemansalkowski 450x300 Mini: The 500 is a darling little car... but were a premium brand
Mini showed off the Paceman Concept at this year’s Detroit Auto Show and announced not long afterward that it would spawn a production model. Tom Salkowski, who recently moved from BMW USA to Mini USA to fill the role of marketing manager, will be the man charged with getting the word about about Mini’s eighth model and the ones beyond. Here’s what he had to tell us.
  • The small car segment has erupted over the past couple of years and “Mini has prospered” even though it “faced significantly more competition.” But when asked what kind of head-to-head competitors the brand thinks it faces, Salkowski said “maybe Volkswagen, Mazda, Scion in the small-car segment,” with the caveat that since “Mini is very much a mindset, it’s different than other vehicles,” so “for the time being we don’t see anything.” Head of product management Oliver Friedmann confirmed the assessment with, “We don’t see any one-to-one competition, maybe the Evoque could be” for the Countryman.
  • Salkowski offered his thoughts on the Fiat 500 with, “The 500 is a darling little car, but Mini is a premium brand.”
  • On the discussion of roots and heritage at other emotional brands like BMW and Lotus, when asked how big the Mini brand and Mini cars could get and still be considered Minis, Friedmann said, “That’s what we try to find out at the moment. We just jumped over the four-meter line with the Countryman,” but reaction in the three months that the crossover has been on sale in Europe has been “very positive.”
  • Nevertheless, it’s not about creating an acceptance of a Mini of any size. Friedman said, “The competitors for the Countryman are significantly larger. We will always stay the smallest in the segment.” But the number one rejection of Mini is due to size and space, so the company had to do something.
  • Mini’s been known for its irreverent advertising, and it doesn’t sound like much will change under Salkowski, with a “bigger spend on television – you only get one chance to launch a car.” There will also be a huge billboard in Times Square, and a take-off on Mini’s original U.S. launch when they had a roving Ford Excursion driving around with a Mini on its roof. This time it will be a roving Countryman with a vintage Mini, Alec Issigonis’ original, on its roof.

Painting a car with his hands metallic

To the color of the car found metallic effect, it must be painted with two coats. The first layer - the base, the second layer - paint. It is very important to select quality materials and of course to use them properly. Just need a more thorough preparation of the body. For the first layer of paint need to "Nitro", she will give the color and the desired effect, for the second layer of paint will be needed, it will give a shiny car, as well as protect the body from the external environment. So, the first stage of painting is the preparation of the body. In the first of its surface must be degreased. This will require antisilikonovaya liquid, it can be purchased in any auto shops, and clean towels. On one napkin to cause the liquid and the second will need to wipe the surface dry. This stage requires particular attention. Better quality than its produce, the better will be painting in general. The second stage - it's blowing a car. Blowing can be performed before and after de-oiling it. But to save time it can be done only after degreasing. Blowing should be carried out to remove all the small mote and dust, otherwise they shall cleave to the body during the painting and spoil the view. After rinsing the body additionally be treated dust cloth, with her removed to the smallest speck of dust. Next, the third stage - the application of paint. It should be done only with paint. So when painting is not a band or spots of different shades, it must be applied in two layers. The first layer, we can not hesitate to put on tap, with the help of this, we paint the spots of soil and give the body a uniform color. If you do not get the desired results, then painted again, but only after the evaporation of the solvent. The last deposited layer should be opaque, which means that evaporation occurred hardener. Only after that can be taken as the most important base layer, which should not retain the stripes and spots. To do this, add the solvent in the paint and increase the flow of air in the gun. Apply paint to spraying, you will need to make sure that the layer was deposited on the surface of the body evenly. And finally, the final stage - covering car polish. This stage is the easiest. Here the most important thing to prevent stains. Varnish should be applied uniformly in two or three layers. Between them to produce dried and tested for tack. To do this lightly presses his finger to the lacquered surface, and then detaches it, but will hear the sound of "plunk" and the particles of varnish should not stick to your finger. After just the second layer is uniformly covered with lacquer. Thoroughly dried. To speed up the drying can increase the temperature of the room where the painting is made. When necessary to apply a third layer. Painting a car is finished, but to bring everything to the mind, it must be polished. To do this, you will need an ordinary wax which is based, is wax or polish. Rub the polish to a soft cloth, in any case, it is impossible to do with the open sun, as sunlight heats the body, and polish on it starts to dry out very quickly.
