worgeordie Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The roads in Thailand are just made for these type of cars,the front spoiler would be the first to go,speed bumps,pot holes, then where could you put your foot down,I am sure there are drivers who never move out of the right hand lane,doing 60/80 all the way from Chiang Mai to Bangkok,they will just not move,no matter how much you flash them.but its something nice to dream about ,but totally impracticable here. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great fun to drive such cars in Thailand, this is why there are so many (463 Ferraris registered in Thailand in 2014, for example). Chiangmai to Bangkok (especially to Uttaradit) is a great drive. Chiangmai to Lampang or Chiangrai are also superb drives. And if you like to speed... no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Grumpy Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 THONGLOR – Bangkok’s elite automobile enthusiasts blasted the city’s insufficient supercar facilities, demanding an immediate increase in locations to park and display their immensely expensive cars. “I paid almost Bt30,000,000 for my Ferrari 458 Italia and I have hardly anywhere to show it off,” lamented Prakit “Jake” Limkulyoon, the son of a powerful hotel-owning family. “What’s the point of having a supercar if no one sees it?” he asked. His woes were echoed by friend and fellow supercar owner Mike Thavaornmeet, who said it was “ridiculous” that most places required him to park his yellow Lamborghini Diablo amongst ordinary cars. “Do they not understand that I’m special?” he inquired. “I mean look at this baby. You can’t park it next to some Toyota.” Both drivers specifically complained that as of now only Paragon Mall and the Starbucks on Thonglor had special parking areas reserved for supercars, and that the Paragon didn’t count because there was nowhere for the car owners to sit and look at the cars. “When I go out in my Ferrari, I don’t just want special parking, I want parking where I can sit and look at my Ferrari, and see other people looking at my Ferrari, and think about how they don’t have a Ferrari and I do,” explained Prakit. “That’s what really makes me happy.” http://notthenation.com/2013/04/supercar-drivers-demand-better-supercar-parking/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer, 'Many'. Nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique355 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I actually like the exterior and interior syling better, maybe if I had the millions. (Actually I believe such vehicles should be banned from public roads in the interest of safety unless equipped with a speed limiting device. HiSo's should trailer to a track if they want to drive over 100KpH.) cast your vote I take one of each. Can you deliver tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
