huhwhat posted:Took a trip to Thailand. Tuk-tuks have three wheels  That is a songthaew (song-too) which is like a multi-person taxi. Takes a little longer sometimes depending on who is going where but they're like 25 baht, 50 for gaijin

Small car show in town tonight, only had a phone camera with no flash so I missed a lot of things. First time I've actually seen one of these in person.  These things must be scary as hell to drive fast.  Kind of wish it still had a four cylinder, but I like it.  This thing is so awesomely stupid.  Little race car. There was a very nice R32 Skyline, a MkIV Supra, and some great looking lowriders and vintage muscle cars, but the lighting on them was kind of hosed so no pictures.

Das Volk posted:Tuk-tuks have three wheels That's what I get for travelling with people too polite to correct me.  blk posted:Going in a couple months; any tips? Eh, I went to a real touristy spot in Hat Yai so that might not be the experience you're looking for. The aforementioned songthaews charged me 20 baht for trips to the nearby markets. Off season price is like 1500 baht per night at Lee Gardens where I stayed and I think that includes the buffet breakfast - pack in as much protein as you can before heading out for a long day of walking. Price can go up to 2000 baht during peak season. The hotel itself charges 350 for an hour of massage. Not the best deal around, but the place is clean  . If you're buying stuff, be prepared to bargain hard. I managed to get a bag down from 600 to 300 after I feigned disinterest and slowly walked away.VVVVVVVVVVVV Edit: What he said. Also, link to SA's incredible SE Asia Mega Thread.

For an American 350 baht (around $11 now?) for an hour of massage, especially if it's the one at Wat Pho in Bangkok is outstanding. I would definitely go to the northern part of Thailand; check out Chiang Mai and the local specialty Kao Soi, check out Doi Inthanon and the elephant reserve. If your idea of Thailand is ladyboys and booze, stick to Bangkok and the red light district around Sukhumvit. Also the Thai mall MBK is amazing and full of cool poo poo, the markets are too, really all of Bangkok is jam packed with neat stuff. If you're nice enough to the right vendors you can get them to pull out the AAA grade high end watch copies too. +1 on the haggling too, which can be kind of fun.

Build thread: http://www.motorgeek.com/viewtopic.php?p=599598 Although it doesn't look like the guy updated in a while. Here's an even better Sport Quattro replica build thread wherein the guy actually follows through with the thread AND uses a 2.2L 5 cylinder pulled from wrecked S2 Coupe: http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22390 Highlights:            (yes, that is an oil cooler in the rear spoiler)

Is a storm watching Baja awesome AI material or wrong thread? Sorry for the crappy cell phone shot, traffic was making it hard to speed match.  Looks like a pretty sweet practical use for an oddball car. Drunken Lullabies fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Aug 18, 2013 |

Saw this outside the grocery store:    The wooden truck bed is drat sexy, and it looks like it might even get used sometimes? If only to haul... is that cat litter in the corner?

I can imagine it being quite adaptable to varying conditions if you plumb the suspension for manual control and know how to fiddle it correctly. They were quite good at rallying over rough terrain, too. It just seems so silly to race a French comfort-barge like that.

I clicked that link and got completely immersed in that build thread, I literally lost track of time for an hour. Click for orgasmic V8 twin turbo noises. I love when he actually goes through the gears and it looks like it wants to leap off the dyno... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD2GrPgWnjg
