petedk Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Pilotman said: A lot more money than sense, or driving skill. What is an 18 year old doing in that kind of car, unless he has a F1 Super Licence, which I doubt? No doubt in his way to doing what is now termed a "Red Bull". I remember when I was about 18 and living in England. It wasn't often I saw a super car, but when I did it was being driven by an older person. I remember how we used to talk about having to get a really good job and save to buy something like that. I guess I was lucky because I worked part time in an antique shop and my boss had a Lotus Europa, a jaguar e-type and a Bentley (something or other) and I did get chances to drive them all. I never got to try them at full speed though as I was too afraid. I didn't have the skills at that time. (I still don't) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scammed Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 knowing your limit is one of the rare things that do come with age and experience, and there really isnt any way around finding your limit beside crossing that limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifino Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 ... on the way to gokarting! - with a bit of patience he could have dIscovered a cheaper way, that Dodg'em cars are tougher...

nausea Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Sometimes it's a benefit being born poor, if I'd had a Porsche in my youth I'd be dead now for sure. As it was, I totalled my Mini 1275 GT (which I paid for myself, incidentally). Wild times; expecting young men to be responsible is like expecting water to run uphill. A bit exaggerated, but it encapsulates the mood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvs Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 A lot of replies but it is not a big deal! I would imagine a lot of similar accidents happen all over Thailand and indeed all over the world. Nobody got killed or badly hurt and no one did a runner so what is the problem? Because obviously they have money? Jealous anyone ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy one Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Why give the driver an assumed name ? Give his real name and a clear photo of him, at least it might shame the parents into sending out for driving lessons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the volkswagen engine were on the 914 and the 924 more recently on the V6 Cayenne i owned a 944 in my middle age crisis, and it was a Porsche engine the ''dream'' quickly turned in a nightmare when i realized it wasn't as solid as you could hope for a luxurious car built in Germany and the maintenance and repair costs were enormous. Incidently the increase in the ''power seduction'' with the car was near 0 Eventually i sold it 3 years later (For half of the price) Edited July 30, 2020 by kingofthemountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightSky Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, ChipButty said: He must have been moving I have owned a couple of Porsche so I know what they are capable of, I guess another problem in Thailand is with insurance companies who in their right mind would insure an 18 years old, I was in my 40's and could only get owner driver insurance for mine get caught drink driving insurance null and void When I was about 19 I owned a ford escort and went around a bend too fast and met a tree. Same outcome except my ford was worth about 200 quid.... I learned the lesson much more affordably and luckily no one was hurt, only the ford. 18 year old (except for potentially young racing drivers) + super car = no brainier guaranteed accident Edited July 30, 2020 by NightSky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
