Yes folks, the newly unveiled 2006 XD-551 Streetsweeper has just taken over the landscape in the Middle Kingdom. This year’s model has a totally revamped deisel engine (with pull string start), new mono-beam front axle, traces of rack-and-pinion steering and can reach 0-20kph in roughly 45 seconds. Along with the newly intergrated hydroponic cornbroom whisper thingys, this unit is sure to be a mainstay in every Chinese municipality.

  1. So, I finally figured out why I hadn’t gotten any comments yet…That’s what that whole Moderation thingy is. Well thanks for checking my site out, and I hope it doesn’t mimic yours too much. Good to hear all is well, Kristty keeps talking about how much of a good time she had. K, well I am off to Philly. Talk to you later.

  2. This is a great pic! It reminds me of Dr. Seuss’s 1st book… “And to think that I saw it on MULBERRY STREET” …”Say! That makes a story that no one can beat, when I say that I saw it on (Jinma lu) Street.” Cheers!
