This has sat around the corner and never moved ever since I've lived here although it does occasionally get a clean and the tyres pumped up.

tidy looking e36, looks a late one with sport spec. Nice car. Not the usual rust in the arches looking at the pic, my next door neighbours son is parts lad at my local bm agent and drives a p reg m 3 evo, its that rotten on the back end it looks like its going to drop off.

5.0 ltr Mustang and on a disablist ticket.



I need to get into some of these tax avoidance schemes.

Their partner or family member may have a disability?

I used to get comments when parking our cars in disabled spaces with my sister. They'd walk past the car and make similar comments to you.

Fair comment and anybody in genuine need will get my full support but if you can afford to buy and toot around in a 5.0 ltr V8 Stang or a 15mpg Chelsea tractor you don't any help or free road tax from the state via my tax dollar.

:whistling:

Wherever you got this from, you were seriously mis-informed.

 

The whole point of a disabled badge is really to provide easy access for the disabled person to where they want to go, so it's not really a case of cost or affordability. If the Mustang is in a supermarket car park, as it appears, then normal street rules don't apply in any case. In reality, you can flout all supermarket car park rules and their only redress is to sue you, as it's a civil matter.

 

Speaking of car parking, all these spaces were full of poverty spec Mercedes and a Mini:

I screamed at the parking attendants for a good five minutes as they made me park in a tiny space in the GTR. Supercar parking is there for security and the wider spaces allow you to open the doors easier. I don't see why any of these qualify for 'Supercar parking' as I don't get any of this in the other cities in Thailand.

This was in Sakhon Samut btw; in BKK there were only Ferrari and Porsche parked in the supercar spaces.

I suspect they're regular's known to security and pay tea money for the privilege of using those spaces. Pam parks among all the Mercs in Emquartier, who pay for premium parking, in her Nissan Almera(?), but she qualifies because of her car park pass (she works for the company), or her credit card or something. She does not like it at all when the parking guy's come to challenge her!

 

How much does it cost to park in Bangkok per day? I'm just interested to compare with London. Before I quit work last year I was paying £22.50 (plus the bl*@!y Congestion Charge) but other car parks were £30-£50 or so. And that's for basic car parking. Nothing so plush as your pictures. The vomit, urine and broken glass was extra :laugh:

 

I suspect its like the UK whereby these people finance BMW's and Mercedes and then think they've made it in the world!

I think you're wrong. The reason you don't see so many nice cars in UT and KK is that by and large they're smaller places and there isn't so much wealth. Same as in Korat, which is possibly the 2nd largest city after Bkk. Yes, folk get into hock for buying cars, but they're usually pick-up's as that's what there is most need for.

Pam's niece is married to the CEO of one of Bkk's largest Toyota dealers - went to Liverpool Uni and became a season ticket holder at Anfield, spent his honeymoon in England. He drives a Toyota Monday to Friday and a Merc at the weekend. For wealthier Thais, Mercs are far more popular than Beemers, which is why you see so many of them. As for parking availability, regular shoppers will get preference. Pam's cousin used to spend most of her time at Central Chit Lom and I remember having lunch with her, her daughter and the CEO and a couple of others elsewhere and afterwards we all went to Central Chit Lom and by phoning ahead, the three cars used were all able to park in reserved spaces. Largely amongst loads of Mercs. That's just how it works here.

As for parking in Bkk, it's cheap as chips compared to parking in London, but mostly you wouldn't want to because of the traffic. We'll park at one central Mall if we have shopping to get and then either walk or use the BTS (sky train) to move between different Malls. The main linked malls we use we can access via back streets to avoid traffic and as my other half is a senior manager for the company, she doesn't have to pay to park. Shopping Malls are destination places in their own right here. Apart from shops, they can have water parks, cinemas, aquariums, swimming pools and more than one of those - one even has a zoo.

 

Pal was round today,

Surprisingly reliable, and super clean, considering its used regularly.

British rubbish

I used to see one of these occasionally by Warrington in the mornings. Takes me back to my childhood when I had posters of it in yellow on my bedroom wall and playing Need for Speed on the PC!

youre a lot younger than me Irfan! Not 46 yet eh lad?

@Nigelp

Saw this CLK outside our Boozer earlier. Say what you like about Vee Dubs or Beemers but this is the Daddy.

A 55 and a convertible, can't be to many of these around.

sorry mate must have missed it, thats more like it not this cobbled together British stuff from year dot

what you should have done is walk around the other side and photo the other 5.5 badge seems the Germans cant do handed badges. Peed me off on my 55

i got them to take them off

It's very useable, I'm 6ft and can get in and out with ease, and it's comfortable. Suspension is rock hard, and the steering is very quick and does not like any road undulations. What surprised me is the fit and finish of the bodywork, which for a 30 year old vehicle is exceptional. the body on my old "Plastic pig" Scimitar used to squeak and creak all the time, this doesn't, and all the bits seem to be readily available.

I guess, to their owners, any car is a super car.

I know that my Golf estate is pretty super when I've just completed an exhausting run to the dump to get rid of a load of rubbish, and my neighbour looks in jealously as he can only fit some gaenky golf clubs in his Aston.

Mine think I'm the reincarnation of Coco the clown with my bicycle and trailer, and the nasty man at the skip will not allow me into the yard either. :angry:

I was 'thought of' around a decade after you

you are in your prime, make the most of it! Time flies once you get past 30. :thumbsup:

 

Sun was shining and some modern metal turned up.

The picture doesn't do the colour justice



Then this AMG A35 pop, fizzed & banged up, sounded awesome. Surely a future hot hatch classic.



And then there was a bit of fibreglass

Probably more expensive than anything in the carpark.

Well mr. bond; this is a good time to spend some of those yankee bucks on a big yacht and learn to sail. vin

 

Saw this today

El Camino at a rough guess a 68 or 69, had a bit of that Chevy V8 burble going on which tells me it wasn't "stock"

Tidy

A8 looking good on its five spoke Comp alloys.

we paid 4 grand for our mint 100k mile 2005 example 3ltr petrol, its actually my dads car and they (mum and dad) love it, its been totally relaible too and the mpg is very good mid 20's around town and high 30's on a run, apparently helped by the trick variable autobox. I can highly recommend them. Much better nicer to ride in and look at and feels better finished and built than any of the s class mercs we had (as was the vw phaeton) and thats my dads verdict so must be right ;-)

My gti is proving a fast handy reliable little motor.

This has recently parked up or maybe that should be moored.

I don't know anything about boats but for some reason this one caught my eye and looks the business, the floating equivalent of a fast two seat GT that could wisk you off to the Med or down to the Canaries in comfort without breaking sweat.

Lovely cars.owned one for a few years.

 

Saw this today, can't be too many left as tidy as this one.



I've seen it around town for a few years now. It would be interesting to find out if it still had the original engine or as lot of them ended up with, a Rover V8
