Russ: 4:13am Oct 3, 2004: By the way, how would it be in "pianyin" Chinese??..I just know a bit, but I can't as yet read Hanzi..Just for the sake of curiosity! Thanks! Russ

Russ: 4:14am Oct 3, 2004: Please write "pianyin". Thanks!

Jianming (asker): 4:25am Oct 3, 2004: Thanks for help! - Hi, Russ. I guess you mean “pinyin” by “painyin”. “Pinyin” is only a kind of Chinese phonetic spelling used in mainland China. It’s not a kind of language. It is even difficult for me to decode what is written in so called “pinyin”. Thanks for help!
Wenjer Leuschel: 4:34am Oct 3, 2004: The term is written in Chinese Pinyin as "feqi(wu) chuli" or with indication of tones as "fe4qi4(wu4) chu3li3." -
Russ: 4:45am Oct 3, 2004: Thank you so much! Chinese is so difficult, yet so luring...

Disposal

Explanation:
Up until now, the cost of the disposal of the vehicle was the responsibility of the most recent owner. (letzte in German signifies last or most recent. Obviously if the vehicle is to be disposed of then the last owner is presumably the most recent?) Hope this helps.
