The Porsche lives at the Customs in Bang Na dock. That's one of the ugliest convertible tops I've seen, and no rear window? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2long Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 The Merc is (obviously) a home-made job. I think it's an early 80s CE. Ratchapruek Road, Maha Sawat area. When I said it's my favourite, I hope y'all understand! ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any of them have seen road traffic in quite some time. My wife's friend owns that resort and a smaller hotel in Amphur Muang Loei. She did well for a small town girl. ????

The water pressure in the shower was the best I have experienced anywhere in Thailand. And the breakfast was huge! A good way to start the day. A big thumbsup from me for the Chiangkhan River Mountain Resort in Loei. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top end sports car reduced to poodling around Bangkok . Crying out for the autobahn but just crawling up Sukhumvit in 1st gear. Understandable though. The road from Rangsit to Saraburi is really rough and would probably damage the skirts. Not worth the risk. Route 7 to Pattaya probably ok though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post toofarnorth Posted September 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2019 Ok , the headline is unusual cars seen . Maybe others have seen plenty of these about but this is the only one I have seen up here in my town. A Toyota Crown Majestica , Mk 2 '95 - 99. Don't know the owner and don't know if it is the 3 litre or 4 litre V8. Would swap my Vios for it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I wonder how much that would cost? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route 7 to Pattaya probably ok though. the owners takes it for coffee around the city on weekends and night driving along the highways ... sure beats being kept in the garage and rotting away. Don't think any sane person would have that as a daily car for getting to work. Roads in bangkok isn't too bad for the most parts, just got to choose which roads to take. Those frequent by 10 wheels are brutal for these sports cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
