seancbk Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 It's time Thailand starts to build sportscars, those falang built sportcars are really unsafe Yeah they could just attach an amulet on the front and the back and we'd all be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALFREDO Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Big money can buy you in Thailand an exorbitant, crazy expensive, high powered Sport car, but not the ability to drive it! Again, the heavy rain, the bad weather and the extremely powerful car, was the reason for the crash. Not the driver ! Also, I would, in the Monsoon season and highly possible torrential rains, use another, better suited car out of my surely, existing fleet!

delgarcon Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Amazing the similarity in the terrain to this accident 7 years ago in Nice where I was living at the time. The Russian lived to tell the tale, apparently he picked up the Ferrari at the airport and drove like a lunatic down the Promenade des Anglais and guess what, he lost control in the rain! http://luxurylaunches.com/transport/suleiman_kerimov_crashes_ferrari_enzo_splitting_it_into_two.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeryble Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) At full throttle a Lamborghini can travel 1 mile in 15 seconds. Not even a boot load of St Christophers will help you if you hit a wet patch. Which one would that be that can travel at 240mph? That's 240mph AVERAGE. As it starts from 0mph it would have to be going much faster over the finish line. BTW what's the ground clearance.? One occasionally sees these type of motors outside Warm Up in CM....I guess the speed bumps stop them going down the road to Infinity at Prasert Land. They must go a special route. Imagine your penis shrinking as all the girls are watching from the club as you are see-sawing a la Italian Job on a speed bump and the business end can't hit the ground for traction.

PoodMaiDai Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 My father in law also had an amulet with amazing powers. One could not die while wearing it. It was also said that you can't shoot or break it (even though it had been carved and created into its current form). I don't know the full details of it, but his amulet was in demand and he was getting offers in the 10 million Thai baht range for it. He declined, like a fool. Anyway, some Thai army big wig wanted to buy it and raised the price by 5 million or so, but before he paid the money he wanted to shoot the amulet, as if it was real, it would be impossible to shoot it. The next day a huge, and I mean huge gathering of Army guys and locals show up at the farm. The big money Army guy shows up, they hang the amulet on a tree and take the first shot. The gun jammed. You can imagine the absolute amazement of the crowd. It must be real. He was to come back tomorrow with cash in hand to buy the amulet and live forever. The next morning my father in law was shot in the head and killed on the way to pick rice, and the amulet stolen from his body. Police hardly did an investigation and it was more or less swept under the rug. This was 8 years ago. One can only imagine how that all played out and who is wearing the amulet now, but what I find incredibly bizarre is that if they know they can actually shoot someone in the head who is wearing it, then what is the point of having it? Thai logic at its best right there. Their superstition and ignorance knows no bounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salapoo Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) At full throttle a Lamborghini can travel 1 mile in 15 seconds. Which one would that be that can travel at 240mph? That's 240mph AVERAGE. As it starts from 0mph it would have to be going much faster over the finish line. Incorrect. The example given clearly states 'at full throttle', ie, the vehicle is already at full throttle at the start of the mile. There are many such 'measurements' used to aid the reader's ability to grasp just how fast a certain speed is, for example the 'at 200mph you travel the lenght of a football field every second' or whatever it is. You seem pedantic, you can do the math and get back to us. Edited June 1, 2013 by Salapoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem pedantic, you can do the math and get back to us. Full throttle (also pedal to the metal, flat to the floor, wide open) is a term not relative to speed but refers to having the carburettor butterly or fuel injection at maximun setting. A motor could be at full throttle while out of gear - going nowhere. It will also be at full throttle when starting from rest at maximum acceleration. The claim that a Lambo can travel one mile in 15 secs, or 4 miles per minute, indicates 240mph constant speed, or a much higher terminal speed if starting from rest.

SinglePot Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Don't knock amulets until you've tried them. I have been wearing two amulets ever since arriving in Thailand and I have never lost my life yet, so they must save my life every day. But you need to remember you have to wear at least one amulet-activating amulet, because if not, all other amulets will be utterly ineffective. That's where those who meet misfortune go wrong. They wear only a regular amulet.i have been "reliably" informed that only odd numbers of amulets should be worn, as an even number is very unlucky. My observation made after being told this was that an even number of amulets was very rare, only to be found on recently arrived farangs. Odd numbers only. That's what I was told. It's good for sales. Experienced farangs buy only one. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
