Interested in owning, or already own, a car, motorcycle, or scooter in Taiwan, and daunted by the labyrinthian Chinese-language bureaucracy?
Whatever your motor vehicle related needs are in Taiwan, we can help. Contact us today, or read more about our services below.
Fluent English / Chinese motor vehicle services are managed almost entirely by Mr. Lobster. Why he's called Mr. Lobster remains a mystery, as does the origin of his fluent English ability. He's a Malaysian-born Taiwanese permanent resident with over a decade of experience fixing, buying, and selling cars, scooters, and motorcycles in Taiwan.
This website was built by Caleb Rogers, a member of the software engineering co-op 508.dev. 508.dev is a design and development firm with a unique structure that allows it to beat any other engineering consultancy or agency on price and outcomes. The website was built in Astro. The Cirrus CSS library was leveraged. The source code is available for viewing and licensed under AGPL-3. The content of the site is copyrighted by 508.dev, 2024. The motorcycle favicon was provided by Freepik. Favicons were generated using realfavicongenerator.net.
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
/
├── public/
│ └── favicon.svg
├── src/
│ ├── components/
│ │ └── Card.astro
│ ├── layouts/
│ │ └── Layout.astro
│ └── pages/
│ └── index.astro
└── package.json
Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
| Command | Action |
