KruJoe Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Anyway, after today's nonsense, you deserve a couple from a proper actual camera. I'm now ON IT ("It" being Leo beer on the rocks, through a straw), so if I post any more today it'll be absolute bollocks. I'll leave you with a little puzzle.Here's a pic of my dials going mental and my mileage whizzing around, whilst sat in traffic in "Big-C" car park, but what's that ahead of me? On the plus side, I only have only one warning light showing there - I was up to six at one point today! mouseflakes and Bucketeer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Closer Tayne, but it's a 'bit' posher than an Innova.It is a Jap brand, but probably only made in Thailand. Edit: Assembled across S-E Asia, and sold in some developing markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Angyl was close in a way - it shares some oily bits with a "Chevrolet".Another clue: There's a close relative photo-bombing this minty-fresh Civic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 How much does that Civic look like an old Rover 213? Is the mystery car some sort of Isuzu?perhaps the Mu/Fronterra replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 I think we got those 213-shaped Civics badged as the Honda Ballade in the UK, right? Well done on that big modern lump, got there in the end. It's a MU-7, a D-Max trying to be a posh seven seater SUV: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isuzu_D-Max&redirect=no#Isuzu_MU-7 Do they call the D-Max "Rodeo" in the UK? It's the Thai-built Isuzu pick-up. D-Max, when said in Thai, is homophonic with "very good". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 This private Citroen enterprise has featured on these pages before, but there's always something worth sharing. I may have spotted this mk1 before, but now on these wheels it looks proper special. My excuse for calling in today was that I needed some air in the tyres of a mate's bike which I was resurrecting.

KruJoe Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Sorry, those smart*phone images are tosh, aren't they? Now in Pai, MaeHongSon, so a few from around here. Any questions at the end please. At the evening market: Another Daihatsu Compagno. Northern Thailand possibly has the highest Compagno population density in the world!

hairnet Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 the green thing - official as its not got numbers on the plate? KruJoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Au contraire - it's a government vehicle! The smaller plate with the official crest is its registration. Military vehicles have stenciled plates in red on white, or white on black, and are made up of numbers in the traditional Thai numeric script: See folks? Hairnet's not as good at Thai as he likes to make you think! By the way, I believe that to be a border patrol Hummer. This remote province has a long and unfriendly frontier with Burma, and erm... tribal issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 More from the mobile device...Remember this?We caught up with it at a rest stop, with a grease-monkey (sorry) underneath it. It is running a turbo'd Subaru lump. Yay, my old ears are still in tune!It turns out the van normally runs on LPG, and like us had discovered there's no gas for sale anywhere in MaeHongSon province! They'd run out, and tried pez, but as happened to us last year, the pump had gummed up from a combination of lack of use, and the benzine/ethanol mix they commonly sell as petrol here.Anyway, the lad got it going, and a few miles later through the mountains it caught us up, running well, I slowed to let it past, and he let us have full benefit of his soundtrack as he blasted off into the distance.
