Text Chapter 1082 Classic Cars
Garcia heard Pan Peiyu's words and drove the two out of the airport directly, but they didn't go in the same direction as everyone.
They were going in the other direction of the airport, and there was a small military airfield over there, which was not accessible to others, but Garcia had no problem with them.
As he walked through the airport, Xiao Peng told Garcia to stop quickly!
"Garcia!Is that a P-51?" Xiao Peng said, pointing to a propeller plane parked on the airfield on one side.
Garcia tilted his head and looked: "Yes, this airport belongs to the Cuban Navy, and there is a group of P-51 aircraft, which cooperates with patrol boats to patrol the coast." Any questions?"
Xiao Peng was silent for a while, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Sell?"
"Poof. Garcia and Sun Pengcheng sprayed together.
Garcia's eyes widened: "Mr. Xiao, are you kidding?"
Sun Pengcheng was speechless and said: "Brother Peng, what do you want this thing for? It's more than half a century old! It's useless for you to put it on your island! Don't you have a rainbow-5 there? That thing is much easier to use than this thing!"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "It's easy to use, can the rainbow-5 take me to the sky? Garcia, is this thing sold? Make a price, I really buy it!"
A few years ago, a rumor spread throughout the world that the Stars and Stripes were preparing to equip their ground forces with some ultralight observation planes, and that the P-51 was ready to be put back into service.
Now that the unmanned aircraft are on the rise, how can it be possible to bring out the old aircraft of World War II and put them back into service? But this rumor has made many people around the world really believe it! And the reason for believing it is because they are talking about the P-51, the most amazing aircraft during World War II. No matter who the opponent is, he will not be left behind, and he will take off and fight more than 10,000 sorties and destroy more than 8,000 enemy planes in the entire World War II! He is an absolute star fighter of World War II and an absolute king of fighter planes! Especially after changing the Merlin engine of Rolls-Royce, the flight range is long and fast, and it is definitely a nightmare for Germany and Japan during World War II.
(Whether this is a rumor or not, Lao Yang doesn't know whether it's true or not, the P-51 has his advantage, that is, cheap, even if the most advanced avionics equipment and other airborne equipment are added, the price of this aircraft will not exceed six million dollars.) If it's Huaxia, it will definitely use drones, the price of the Pterodactyl 1 doesn't cost a million dollars, if it's the Stars and Stripes country, it's hard to say, the cheap MQ-1 also costs five million dollars, and the advanced MQ-9 'Reaper' costs 30 million. And the P-51 flies faster and is more convenient to use. οΌ
Garcia listened to Xiao Peng's words and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xiao, are you joking, this is our country's military assets, not what we can say!"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Otherwise, we will exchange it? I can buy a batch of planes from our country such as the first six and the seventh to exchange with you?"
Sun Pengcheng smiled bitterly: "Brother Peng, don't scare Garcia, okay? Why are you so excited to see P-51?"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "How can I not be excited! A famous plane of World War II! I used to fish up a Zero from the sea, but in the end I couldn't fly it, so I could only put it there as a statue! Now that I have met a P-51 that can fly into the sky, how can I not be excited? A batch of famous World War II planes such as the La-7 and F190 are all played at home, and it is comfortable to think about it. β
Sun Pengcheng poked Xiao Peng: "Let's not scare Garcia, you are creating a tense atmosphere, our country also has P-51, I will ask grandpa to find a way for you when I go back!"
"Where did we get the P-51 from in our country?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened.
Sun Pengcheng sighed: "Brother Peng, let's not show our cowardice, okay? There were nine P-51s at the founding ceremony that year, and we naturally had one of the principals, and that was the captain of the transportation brigade." In the fifties, I quit weaving, and I put it in a museum, and if you ask my grandfather to do this, I don't think it's a problem. β
Xiao Peng's eyes lit up, and Sun Pengcheng hurriedly waved his hand to Garcia: "Garcia, go quickly, Brother Peng wants to come out as soon as he wants to come out, he likes these old things, and he is interested in your classic cars when he comes here this time!"
Cuba is known as the 'country of classic cars', everywhere are classic cars from the thirties to the fifties of the last century, it's not that they miss the old, there is really no way, years of economic blockade, materials can't come in at all, you can only use the original classic car, that's 'new three years, old three years, sewing and mending for another fifty years', the country's classic cars are placed in museums, and the classic cars here are running on the road.
Garcia made a phone call, made an 'ok' gesture to Sun Pengcheng and started the car: "I will take you to a good place, and I will definitely satisfy Mr. Xiao." β
He drove not towards Havana, but towards the suburbs, and after about forty minutes they came to a small village, which was muddy because of the rain that had just fallen. Garcia didn't forget to give a thumbs up: "Your Huaxia car is really good, there is no problem at all on such a road." If the original Pontik of our unit had run such a road, it would have fallen apart long ago. β
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Haval H5 is still relatively resistant!" What he wanted to say in his heart was, you compare Pontic and Haval H5 more than half a century ago?
Garcia didn't care, and took Xiao Peng to a small courtyard surrounded by concrete walls and barbed wire, and after honking the horn, the big iron gate opened, and Garcia drove the car in.
"Where is this? How is it like an underground party connection?" Sun Pengcheng asked puzzled.
It wasn't until Garcia drove the car into the yard that Xiao Peng found out that it was an auto repair shop. Let's call it that for now. There were a few car shells in the car that looked like they had been picked up from a garbage dump, and they were all repaired.
Surrounded by rusty jacks, hammers, mallets and wrenches of all kinds, as well as homemade welding equipment and nuts and bolts of various specifications, were placed.
As soon as they got out of the car, a girl ran over and hugged Garcia. After the two kissed passionately, Garcia pulled the girl and introduced Xiao Peng and Sun Pengcheng: "This is my girlfriend Dana Armas, Dana, this is my Huaxia classmate Sun Pengcheng, this is his friend Xiao Peng." β
Dana was very enthusiastic, and shook hands with Xiao Peng and greeted them, she called the two 'dear', which made Xiao Peng very puzzled, isn't this Garcia's girlfriend?
Garcia seemed to know Xiao Peng's thoughts: "Mr. Xiao, don't mind, this is just a kind of name for our Cubans, Cuban women generally call their newly met male guests dear, which has nothing to do with love." β
Xiao Peng was a little embarrassed after hearing this: "I think so, how could such a beautiful girl be blind to me and Peng Cheng's appearance?"
Dana smiled slightly: "No, no, no, Mr. Xiao, you are very handsome, but you are a little thinner, and it would be better if you were a little plumper." βγ
Xiao Peng scratched his head after hearing this, the aesthetics of this Cuban person is that he is tall and strong to be good-looking, and the men here are all muscular men and womenγγγγγγ If my mother is here, I will definitely let Xiao Peng find a girlfriend here, because 'big ass is good to give birth to'! The whole of America likes women with big ass.
Garcia introduced: "Mr. Xiao, this is the car workshop run by my girlfriend's family, of course, this is not legal, so I drove it to such a remote place. But believe me, such car workshops are everywhere in Cuba, and people can't live without them. If you want to see a classic car, you really have to come here. β
Xiao Peng looked around: "Do you mean those rusty car shelves?"
After hearing this, Dana smiled and beckoned to Xiao Peng: "Mr. Xiao, you come here to take a look!"
Xiao Peng found out that there was a small door next to it, leading to another courtyard, and as soon as Xiao Peng walked into the small door, he whistled.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a sky-blue 1953 Oldsmobile sedan, which he had only seen at a pebble beach car auction in California, but he had one parked in front of him. It is very well maintained, and from the outside it looks like a new car that has just left the factory.
Xiao Peng was surprised: "Why is this car so new?"
Dana smiled and explained: "This car is more than 60 years old, and there are no spare parts to repair in our country, so if you want this car to continue running, you have to rely on a car workshop like ours to do it, for example, what if someone crashes the car door in an accident? Let's just say that the maintenance of this car is all done by hand. β
Xiao Peng took a closer look at the appearance of the car, and after a careful look, he found that there were traces of repair in many places inside, but the technology was very high, and it was impossible to see it without careful observation!
Xiao Peng pointed to a symmetrical square indentation and asked, "This is also hand-molded?"
Dana nodded, "That's right!
Xiao Peng stretched out his thumb: "This is no longer work, but art!" But Dana, there is a question I don't understand. β
"What's the problem?" Dana looked at Xiao Peng.
"The shell can be repaired, but what if the engine is broken?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: "No matter how well it is maintained, the engine for more than 60 years can't bear it, right?"
Dana smiled slightly after hearing this, and directly opened the engine cover of this Osmobile, Xiao Peng was dumbfounded after seeing the engine inside: "What kind of engine is this?" He also has a lot of cars, but he has never seen such an engine!
Dana saw Xiao Peng's dumbfounded expression and laughed: "The original engine has been destroyed, so I found a welding machine engine made in the former Soviet Union and installed it, although the power is a little small, but it is still no problem to drive." β
Xiao Peng was completely stunned after hearing this, the hands-on ability of the Cuban people is simply invincible!
