Mrs6C Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hairnet is going to Conan's part of the world for a holiday and Conan is helping him find suitable AS places to go, so Hairnet will buy him a beer? Something like that, I think... mrbenn, The Moog, chodweaver and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Dont think Ive ever seen those wheels on a 405 before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Conan Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Weird regional specification at works. Those wheels are stock 405 item over here. We only got either the 405 GR (carb) or later 405 GRi, and Mi16. There was also SRi which was a late model produced up to 2000. GR and GRi being the most common had those wheels and all early GR would be equipped with Mi16 bodykit. Because appearance is more important than specification when you're driving Gallic luggsury. We never got the Diesel. I myself nearly bought a mint Mi16 (they're bangernomics priced too) before settling with my Corolla.

Guest Conan Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 *Brings 500 baht for Thai autotrader We don't even do print ads anymore! This is currently on sale for £1,500. But it's probably going to rot away once you reach Kazakhstan. Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 There was the odd Mark III Cortina in Live and Let Die - a great film. If you can stand snakes, Thai scrapyards must be pretty good. I didn't see any over there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Conan Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 We don't have scrapyard as such as when you don't want your car anymore they just get further and further away from city until there's nothing left. (They get cut up and go away on a flatbed as pieces). We don't really retire cars into a yard and even the few that exist certainly won't let you just walk around in. But if you like imported JDM that comes in half, (for parts, obv, long story as to why that is) there's an area specialised in that and you can walk around it without issue. Motor Factors are common, but there's a road in central Bangkok where a few dozen is concentrated on a single road. (It's where I get my parts). If one really wish to bring a car back, I recommend for anywhere between £700-£3000, there's plenty of classic JDM shite with relatively little* rot. At this point I should just become shite travel agency. Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure BKK is a big place but E32's are rare. I might have! But Bangkok is indeed a big place and there's still a few E32 rolling around though! (It helps that people can bolt some E34 parts on, unlike E38). Maybe if it's an absolute minter Renault 19 or Citroen ZX. Because there would indeed be only one of each left.
