Cars around Cambodia
"Sincere Motors"
Seems legit.
Don't blame the Cambodians for destroying classic cars. The UK had a scrapping "incentive" years ago to stimulate the motoring industry (thinly veiled as a green initiative) which saw a shit load of 70's, 80's and 90's cars scrapped.
This is partly to blame for the ridiculous prices for cars of that era, 80's Ford Escort 1600i, they'll be $10000 please, or how about a base model Vauxhall Viva for $5000.
Bloody nuts.
The other reason is because the kids of those generations are our ages, 40's, 50's, 60's and have cash.
In the early 90's I used to pay £10 for a beaten up 1.1 68 Ford Escort (overhead valve) or a £10 for a mint Renault 4 now those cars go for around £5k+.

Wow, they have some serious motors up there.
The site is slick enough. I wonder what the waiting list for a Bugatti is?

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

Can't see the make (Mitsubishi?) or model but those look so generic, could be Ford, Honda or and jap maker.
No double its 350bhp of lunacy and only 2.5l engine.

Drive past it every day on the school run - they've added Lexus 570s and a Range Rover to the collection, I think they might have realised that shifting sports cars in Cambodia is quite hard work when the roads are so dreadful - best get some cash flow by shifting what rich Khmers really want.Lucky Lucan wrote:Wow, they have some serious motors up there.

Generic, yes, but on half empty roads I imagine they could be fun whizzing around town.

I'll never forget seeing a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X exit a Michigan highway at over 70 MPH..... Through 8 inches of fresh powder. The 4x4 big trucks were in the ditches or doing half that speed. Im in a FWD Pontiac and that was the exact moment I learned just how awesome AWD can be.Playboy wrote:Subaru WRX STI AWD, light car with a manual gearbox, 305 BHP.YaTingPom wrote:Can't see the make (Mitsubishi?) or model but those look so generic, could be Ford, Honda or and jap maker.

Anyone who doesn't like Capitalism is a pathetic loser. God bless the USA and no place else.

Words fail me ...
Although that is mostly because I am crying with laughter imagining Petrol Head having a seizure at the sight of one of his beloved Mercs being pimped out
