Yes, Alas, 300kB for a little mouse is a wee bit... ambitious.

Thanks for keeping eyes open!

Incredible co-incidence Limbo.

I know a family in Phrae that owns a 1947 Fiat Topolino and an early 1950s MG sportscar.

Last time I spoke to the owner she was thinking of selling the Fiat but I thought her value of 300k was a bit steep.

Well, if the Aussies don't get there before rainy season, please let me know!

As for follow up, as a result of the Chiang Rai weekend, we had 13 cars turn out for the Chiang Mai Mardi-Gras Parade- which was last weekend as nothing on the town calendar is available near Chinese New Year!

We are now having meetings at The Gymkhana Club on first and third Thursday evenings and even had a guest speaker this week- an expert on classic Bentleys.

Thanks again to Gerry and all who sowed the seeds!

Concerning the Fiat: I had to swear to two Australian friends ('mates') that I am not going to tell anybody where it is located. They are going for it!

The MG at the Esso gasoline station in Maechan is very incomplete. Toyota engine, wheels gone etc. etc.

There is another one somebody is working at somewhere and I only know vaguely where to look. I saw it once, bicycling around in Chiang Rai east part, little bit outside town.

Coming back from Mae Sai after maybe 5 kilometers on the left, about three hundred meters from the road is a place where they have old-timers as well. Some French, some British. Probably from Burma.

Nice to hear that the 'Classic Car Weekend of Chiang Rai' might have some following upp.

Limbo.

PS. Interested in a Fiat 'pantoffel' of around 1948? A tiny cabriolet, now housing a cat? It's here in town. Or an MG sportscar (no, not the one in Maechan)?

I am very interested in the Fiat and/or an MG and would drive from Chiang Mai to look at a wreck with wheels!

I had a splendid time on the Classic Car weekend- but now I need a Classic Car, rather than a rental Toyota!

As a result of the Chiang Rai weekend, an informal gathering called "Classic Cars of Lanna" has met twice in Chiang Mai and seems to be gathering some steam!

Cheers,
