webfact Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Lack of damage on the pick-up leads Thais to believe it must be "1809" for the lottery! An accident between a Ford raptor pick-up and a Nissan Almera has led many Thais to believe they have the winning number in the next lottery draw. People couldn't believe that the pick-up was damaged so little after it was rear ended by the smaller vehicle. Pictures showed the Ford - license plate 1809 - with barely a scratch while the Nissan - plate number 7235 - was in a bad way. Sanook said netizens were busy buying up the auspicious numbers for the next draw in the national lottery. Though they did mention that at one million baht compared to the 500,000 cost of the Nissan, the Ford may be a stronger vehicle. The accident happened in Kanchanaburi in Thailand's west.

Popular Post thaiguzzi Posted September 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2018 SOP for a small family car rear ending a pick up with a bumper. Any pick up. Same outcome in 99 out of 100 rear end accidents. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Winning the big jackpot in Thailand is a risky business, sure, go on and win the lottery only for half a dozen cheaters and scammers including high ranking police trying to muscle in on the prize and if you're unlucky enough, you'll shot dead in the process... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerojero Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Maybe Ford builds a more robust vehicle, sirh far better impact resistance? What the hell has the lottery have to do with an accident? Some people are plain stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chassa Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Saw the same with a Honda City and a Mitsu Pickup. I think it's got something to do with the chassis on the pickups. Eat your heart out pickup haters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokie Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 So the rear bumper (fender) of the pick up has crushed the bonnet (hood) back and broken the plastic valance of a little biddy town car? big deal no damage as biddy car rode under tail of pick up. Later pick of German bike v China car, plastic wing on a wheel, wheel edge will win - no news item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josephbloggs Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 20 hours ago, Happy Grumpy said: That's a plastic bumper cover, designed to deform at low speeds for pedestrian protection. The car is a Daewoo Kalos / Chevrolet Aveo, made in South Korea, not China. The bike is a Chinese bike, made in China. Perpetuating boring stereotypes is so much fun though, whoop de doo. And yes, I am fun at parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
