Lack of damage on the pick-up leads Thais to believe it must be "1809" for the lottery!

I'm surprised the almera isn't squashed to A4 thickness. Deathtrap egg shell.

Also headlights, wings, indicators, radiator, front pannel and probably some engine ancilliarys damage! ?

Narr, now dont exaggerate there Bob...,

Just superficial damage to panels and light units - exactly what they were designed to do in such a situation, minimal impact as not even the screen has gone .Maybe slam panel and front end alignment - maybe?

 

Rad? no sign of coolant leaks and engine area all looks intact (went under pick up there Bob like a 'Limbo' dancer) As said no news day... ?

1.7 million, give or take a baht or 2! ?

Yep right, 1.699. Has a low interest rate too (1.79%), but can't really justify a huge pickup for Bangkok streets. I imagine bike will be running into it all the time.

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.

See the rear metal bar with the tow hooks on the ranger? I think that did a lot of the damage.

Small cars are designed to crumple like that as it absorbs the shock of an accident and save the people inside. Before small cars was like driving a coffin.

"At the rear, a modified rear bumper comes with an integrated tow bar and two recovery hooks rated at 3.8 tonnes"... here's the reason! ??
