Unlike the other [[Mule]] based vans, the Mr Wongs in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories are front wheel drive.

Mr Wongs, also known as the Wong in Grand Theft Auto Advance, is a Mule-based laundry van featured in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Description

GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories

The Mr Wongs may also achieve very high speed despite its bad handling due likely to its heavy weight. It is basically identical to the Triad Fish Van, right down to the horn. Like the Mule and Triad Fish Van, the Mr Wongs is also available in a variety of body colors. Also like the Triad Fish Van, the GTA III version of the Mr Wongs is 4WD.

The truck is evidently named after Mr. Wong's Laundrette in Chinatown in Portland, Liberty City. When entered by the player, the truck is referred to as "Mr Wongs" (without a period in the end of "Mr" or apostrophe before the "s"), but the period is present on the company graphics of the truck, and both the period and the apostrophe appear on the logo on the window of the store. Much like the launderette itself, the van also features the slogans: "Liberty's First Choice For All It's Dirty Laundry" and "If It Ain't Wong, It Ain't White".

GTA Advance

A "Wong" in GTA Advance.

In GTA Advance, the vehicle, which name is shortened to be known simply as the "Wong", is the gang car of the Triads, substituting the role of the Triad Fish Van, known in the game as the Belly. It is effectively the largest truck in the game.
