Here in Samui I regularly overtake the police cars and speed away. They simply don't care about this kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johng Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Even if you're a world class formula 1 or NASCAR driver you shouldn't be doing those sort of speeds on Thai roads...its reckless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think that my comment was that subtle ... that car was the blue respray job, it did look nice ...guess you miss it, probably for the best though......

steelepulse Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I don't usually go much over 100, but I sure like getting there in the low 4's when the road is clear. Helps to have big brakes to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
