wow,
good thread
what a series of nice cars

funny though, there are quite a few classics/vintages in almost mint condition in BKK

In a temple yard somewhat SSW of central BKK there are virtually HEAPS of old Benzes, some of them in fairly good condition.
Also a number of other European cars.
Fantastic place to walk around.

My previous list was more a 'Wish List', here are some examples of cars that I'm giving actual consideration to buying:

My Porch Boxter. A real chick magnet. Two hot ones and one dog.

A 1969 COPO 427 Yenko Camaro would do nicely.

My grudging american efforts.

And of course, the ultamate example of American engineering...

**Mr Earl** · 18-01-2013, 02:03 PM

Or the muscle car to beat all muscle car the 1968 426 Hemi Roadrunner

Lotus Elan S2 in British Racing Green. Perfect!

I would love to cross the country in one of these old beauties.

As big as a small chicken ranch with bed springs to match. You could live in this mini apartment on wheels.

I have. Great fun unless you have two screaming, fidgeting, squabbling toddlers in the back.

**DrAndy** · 18-01-2013, 04:43 PM

If I had the readies I would buy back my dad's old car

a real beauty, an Aston Martin Le Mans

Only about 130 of them were made; my dad's one came 11th in the 1933 Le Mans

I can still remember him swearing and cursing as he tried to get the head gasket to seal properly. Turned out, as it was a copper gasket, it needed annealing before refitting, then it was fine

**DrAndy** · 18-01-2013, 04:45 PM

his friend had a beautiful AM Ulster, a real classic even then

**DrAndy** · 18-01-2013, 04:47 PM

the fastest car I have owned was a Lancia Monte Carlo SII, with some serious engine mods; I got to 140mph on the M11 and chickened out

It was a very well balanced mid engined coupe

Pininfarina bodied, it was a beautiful car for those days, although rust prone

No Kids, just a mattress in case I bump into someone I know.

For me it has to have a name as sexy as it looks.. like

De-Tomaso Panterra

Beat me to it, I love Pantera's.

And Plymouth Cuda's.
