Popular Post Rdrokit Posted June 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2019 Since the old thread has been closed since 2016 it's time to start a new thread. I have a friend who lives in Bangkok and is a Batman fan. He took an old Pontiac and turned it into a Batmobile. 17 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post seancbk Posted June 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2019 A Farang friend in Bangkok buys classic European cars then has them renovated as a hobby. There is a huge classic car scene here with BMW groups, Alfa groups etc. You get to meet some really cool Thai guys through this type of social club. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 One of the great things about Thailand is the love of refurbishing old cars. More of it should be done. For old Alfas, there is a repair shop that specializes in their restoration on Phetchaburi Road, near Asok. He has 10 or more being fixed everyday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts out about the same hp as an E49 but 8 cylinders looks so much better than 6. 555555 And with a little massaging another 100hp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen one in Australia for years let alone in Pattaya. What a car they were in their day. I had a GTR in the late 70's-just loved driving her hard. In Chiang Mai, an Aussie had a Valiant S Series for sale but it had a Nissan diesel in it. Also, near my home, there is a HD Holden rusting away. These were imported years ago to participate in parades apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it 12 months and sold it off for a small profit and bought a car with some better ride comfort (and for the family). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
