ajahnlau Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Rigger, You've got yourself covered for all occasions! That F650 is sitting in my shed waiting for me to get home, going to be a long 2 months at work. Stand by. Hey bung where do you ride Mate, I only ride the wifes wave to the market to pop a couple of beers in the basket at the moment! But I'll be hitting the hilly curves of Khao Kho, just ouside of Petchabun when I get back. It's nice and cool and has some great roads. Never seen any police either... Come to think of it, the bimmer hasn't got a basket....what'll I do? Went that route last Sun. with a few of the boys. Had lunch at waterfall. Not all that cool right now.

Uma~~ Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Just sold this Can I ask, how much did you sell it for and did you get the asking price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethailand Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Just sold this Can I ask, how much did you sell it for and did you get the asking price? I was offered 195000bht for it just after i'd rebuilt it but i turned it down because i wanted to keep it. It kept it for over a year and hardly rode it for the last 5 months or so. It originally cost me 100000bht and a phantom (which stood me in 50000bht), this was before it was rebuilt, painted etc. I asked for 160000bht, in the end got 140000bht for it. Glad to get shot of it to be honest as it was a waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for a drink and look what I found coming back WOW !what the heck happened?I have never seen anything like that before.You must live in the North Pole!!!!!! Great picture that, seems to me a huge wave washed over the car and trees and froze immediately. That car ain't going nowhere for a while. No, not the North Pole. Very extreme weather conditions at a lake in Suisse '05 icy cold and a very strong wind sweaping indeed the waves over the edges, benches, cars and trees, creating these weird circumstances but beautiful pics. few more here: LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) My Lexus Vigo. Finished Phase 1. 4X4, Petrol, Automatic, Leather & wood custom interior, Custom paint riding on 22s... Will re-post once Phase 2 is complete. Thanks to Expat Motors for helping me find mod shops that turned out to be a full 50% cheaper than other shops on EVERY single modification. Quite incredible.

Paragon Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Tell me more about expat motors www.expatmotors.co.th (who is also sponsor of this Forum) is a company that helps farang with everything related to car ownership in Thailand. I have know vested interest in the company but am really impressed with their great support. They originally helped me find the exact used car I wanted slightly below market value price then arranged all the transfers etc. for me without any effort. When I wanted to sell the car he provided help and advise and even helped advertise it in Bkk Post cheaper than I could do myself. When I wanted to buy the new Vigo he was willing to help find the exact model I wanted to. When I started looking for accessories, he recommended a shop (New Fiber 4x4 ProShop on SriNakarin near Bangna-Trad) which was incredibly 50% cheaper on every item than the other shop I was about to buy from.

tutsiwarrior Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 just bought a 10 y.o. Nissan Urvan from the BMTA kitted out with super delux tour van interior. One of the BiLs is gonna try and do some business locally as minivan for hire. The wife brought some some photos back to Bahrain and it looks really neat! Looking forward to being driven around in my own posh delux tour van on my next trip back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my 03 accord 3.0 v6 vtec My Webpage mods: Eibach pro kit springs, koni yellow's racing suspension, new headers, Short ram intake with hks filter, dual repica mugen mufflers, HKS speed trap, UNI Chip, replica volk gtn 18 inch rims with Yokohama DB Decibil tyres. future mods: turbo, brembo brakes, camber kit, transmittion swap to Manual, full interior strip out, roll cage, racing seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev_o Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I like it, superb mods. I went to Honda with the missus to buy a 3.0 liter and then returned to work. You can imagine my dissapointment when I returned home to Thailand to find a civic in the drive way. I thought we ordered the accord I said. She replied I thought it was to big. I was pretty pissed off. A little credit, she bought the 2.0 civic, suspension is crap but would like someday to get round to some of the things you've done. Nice car.

davethailand Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Nice car but why spend all that money on mods etc? Why not just buy an M3 or M5, or AMG? Here's my baby - unfortunately it doesn't have any modifications and is totally standard....what a shame.... And stick it on a track and it'll piss on everything here.

mraitchison Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I think you need to practice parking it first before you do any more mods. You have nearly ran that poor plant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my baby - unfortunately it doesn't have any modifications and is totally standard....what a shame.... And stick it on a track and it'll piss on everything here. ummm... A new accord is what, 1.5 million and his mods are probably no more than 200,000 so thats about 1.7 million. An M3 in Thailand will set u back at least 8 million baht, an M5 about 15 million baht and a MB SL55 AMG is yours at the bargain price of 17.5 million baht. My point is that if you want a fast car in Thailand, and you don't have the big bucks, then you need to mod.. Nice work Ryan.. may your modding continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I think you need to practice parking it first before you do any more mods.You have nearly ran that poor plant over. thanks for your comments everybody, Mr Aitchison, dont worry bout the plant, she's fine, I have rear parking sensors just for that reason? no really it does look a bit close but these parking sensors help a great deal, never hit anything. Although the beeping gets a bit anoying at times. Kev o, thanks for your comment, the new civic 2.0 Is a great car, how are the paddle shifters by the way?
