Changkhui: Khui Kui Tao

Aud went on a trip with the Modern Bug group (http://www.modernbug.com) to Jesada classic car museum and a floating market at Lum Paya temple on a Sunday in July this year. The trip started around 8:30 AM with almost 30 cars. The museum was very interesting, consisting of many classic cars, situated about 1hr drive from Bangkok, heading towards Pinklao. You may see more information at http://www.jesadatechnikmuseum.com

A short episode on a question of, with 10,000 Baht, what can we do with their cars? Apparently, the two were somewhat tipsy when they recorded this.

Comparing to all others, old Volkswagen seemed to have few guages, but they were truely sufficient. Yut and Aey discussed different types of guages, the purpose of their existence and so on, and what you should consider using on your VW.

A training session before the actual race. This is quite educational and interesting for those who never tries it before.

The event took place on Saturday July 21, 2007 at Nakorn Patom Race track. This was organized by http://www.bangkokclassiccar.com

What to expect in Episode 43.

Today we discuss why some cars are registered illegally and how to avoid it. We discuss chassis numbers of different types of Volkswagon, Type1 beetle, Type2 bus, Type3 van, VW Golf, etc, which will help you indentify your VW.

A fun topic that we came up with during a conversation, car park. We discussed some hard-to-find-space or hard-to-park caar parks that we experienced in Bangkok. Some were very well known, such as Pantip Plaza, Don Muang and Robinson Silom. Ben also commented on some plazas with movie theatres, which closed down certain sections of the plaza at night, which made life after the midnight rounds of movie very tough.

Yut, Aey and Guy met at Yut's place. Yut and Aey showed various photos of a beetle, they explained in details about what to look for or to watch out in getting a beetle, Guy, a relatively new beetle fanatic, was quite amazed at the level of details. This episode might anger some VW service centers in Thailand, as the two even look under the carpet and pointed out what most service centers would overlook or ignore when servicing beetles.

Immediate continuation of the topic. Yut told his car wash service he experienced in Bangkok. He observed some good practice in some professional service centers. Aey also stressed on how often ones should wax or clean their cars.
