However polite they are, you would have felt threatenned when some random person just jumps out around your house wanting to take a picture with you, left alone that was pretty late into the night. It's just wrong. You don't do that.
Well... It's time for Yao to move to a guarded, gated community. Also need to hire off hour police to escort him home and to games.
Well, I don't know much about cars, and I read this from articles from Titan Sports, probably from reporters like Yang Yi who knows Big Yao well. http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2003-12-26/1011713076.shtml I don't think the reporter BSed on this. If I am not mistaken, BMW used to be famous for its 6-cylinder engine. And since Big Yao's BMW 745 is tailor-made, then anything can be custom built, including switching the 8 cylinders to be 6 cylinders, right? Anyway, this is how the exterior and interior of Big Yao's BMW 745 looks like........
And of course, the famous story about Yao Ming instructing BMW to imprint YY11 at the back of his BMW745. YY11 = Yao + Ye + 11 (as Big Yao's jersey in the Rockets is 11, and Ye Li's jersey in China national team is also 11.....and 11 in Mandarin is Yi Yi....so again YY)
I'd bet money you were the one taking the pictures.. everybody here thinks what you, and your friends did, is completely classless, disrespectful, and basically criminal. you guys give rockets fans a bad name, and coincidentally, everybody of your ethnicity too. (as some posters have already pointed out, in a much more blatant way) this is the kind of sh*t that ruins it for everyone else. yao is one of the few truly nice, open, modest superstars in sports. now he could end up closing off to much of his fans because of the stupid stunt you guys pulled. im proud of the rest of this BBS for verbally smacking this crap down to discourage any other fans from this kind of behavior. consider yourself lucky the Rockets organization doesn't ban your asses from toyota center.
I know that. But as I have said his BMW 745 is custom built. Could they be just swapping a 6-cylinder for a 8 cylinder engine ? http://www.bmwworld.com/engines/6cyl.htm
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you could be wrong on your above statement. There is 6-cylinder BMW 7 series. BMW 730. http://www.go-lpg.co.uk/Bmw_730.html And as listed in the above web site, there is custom engine conversion for BMW 7 Series.
not saying that i know one way or the other, but i'm pretty sure that if yao asked them to throw in a 6 cylinder in there, they would.
And I still can't get over how f-ing dirty you fools in the picture look too. If I were y'all I'd take as little pictures as possible of myself.
Well, you could admire and adore your idol from afar............. But to be ghosting, shadowing, stalking him around like this ?? Tsssk, Tsssk, Tsssk.......... Very very classless, disrespectful, distasteful, {fill in the blanks}, {fill in the blanks}, {fill in the blanks}, {fill in the blanks}, .........
Straight up! If i was Yao, i would be really pissed off knowing just came back from the game. Not very smart!
First off you seem to be defensive so I'd like to make clear I did not accuse YOU of being full of bull I said that story sounds like alot of bull. The fact you said removed two cylinders told me instantly you knew very little about engines, and would not make that up yourself. I also knew you translate alot of stories for us so this further led me to believe you were not the source. That link is for a car thats 20 years old. Have you not said yourself some chinese reporters just plain make stuff up (i somewhat remember a training location in Shanghai that didn;t even exist) The fact he has a custom plastic decal on on it is no big deal. Less than 100 from even the highest charging BMW dealer out there. So basically none of us know the truth. Here are the facts, BMW makes highly refined cars that are built on a system its not like a 74 Ford F100 where 7 engines fit the same mounts and run off of one wire and a few hoses. Changing out the engine to a 6 would be a one off custom job, requiring custom made parts, taking extra time and would easily cost tens of thousands. Cars have a throttle and a speedometer and a 6 would probably acheive a top speed that has a negligible difference from the 8. I have more but does it really matter? Whats more likely 1. Yao mom persuaded him to spend ~20k more on the same car that takes 3 months longer to be delivered for a percieved difference in safety (which would actually be less safe due to NO crash testing of the new setup including the new suspension that would be needed) A woman that lived through the Cultural revolution. 2. A reported made it up so Yao would look like a good boy who would do anything to please his mother.
Wow that last post of mine went on a bit to long and was not organized well at all. I forgot to add that Yao should just sell tht car and hang out in my van.
Look at the pics. You don't need to be very intelligent to tell that Yao is completely pissed off. Dont' do that again. You will get yourself into trouble.
