Superb car and amazing pics

Now all we need please, is a JW custom shot I mean, just take the owner manual out of the gloves box and take a pic with it on either the boot or the bonnet of your car

Thank in advance!

The reason why I have so many meters is because I drive very fast and hard just about every day (there is no *enforced* speed limits in Thailand, and there is always and empty road or freeway somewhere) - so the temperature meters assist me in determining when the car's had enough The pressure meters also let me know when something's not right. Sure its a bit "over the top", but at least I'll know when something's gonna blow up or break before it does (there are warning lights on each of the meters, and a big one on one of the meters mounted in the middle, which also lights up in my face when something's not right)

Geez.. i'm supposed to prove to you that its really my car? Check the owner of turbopanda.com - it should match my real name on Jabba's World.. look at my avatar - same car, at an autocross/gymkhana race I participated in..

(Sorry but I don't have the owner's manual of the car.. I bought it second hand a little over a year ago.) How else am I supposed to prove it to you?

Very nice car though where in Bangkok can you drive it? I was there a few years ago and the traffic's worse than what we have over here.

I thought of this rather unique way on proving the photo's authentic. Put a laptop inside the car with this thread displayed on the LCD. BTW how much did you get it for? What mods you yourself add? typing while tipsy's a bit hard. hurrah for watered down Ozzy beer.

Yeah traffic is bad.. but there isn't traffic everywhere.. if you live on the outskirts of Bangkok (like I do) there's a lot of open roads to play

Nevermind.. today I took pictures of it at the paint shop inside Porsche Thailand (i'm having it repainted right now) - so i'll post a pic of that up along with 3 asian Porsche Carrera GT Cup cars which are getting fixed/prepped up in the same place

[evoWalo]

True... I can't imagine the whole city being packed. Do you race it around circuits or just drag? How much is the VIII going for over there?

Check out my VIII over here. It has photos of my car and the "proof" photo TT's asking for. Very nice setup. Respect! Another idea is to take a photo with that day's local paper. Just suggestions... Heck why not a photo of a hot girl in your car. That'll take people's mind off the manual.

Holy shit !!! , it looks mad in White i thought it only came in red with the stitching , btw you need some more clocks inside the car

Another idea, print out a this topic, or JW's homepage and put the sheet of paper on your car something like that
But definitely yes, same name, a matching avatar and so on could be used by anybody it's not only for us, but also for you

[evopanda]

Well.. here's a picture of my car in the paint shop inside Porsche Thailand.. just took it today...



And pictures of 3 of the race cars from the asian Porsche Carrera Cup, as promised, can be found here.

(EDIT: OK.. looks like st-anger deleted the post - guess I shouldn't have posted the pics in his forum..) :cry:


For those of you curious.. my Evo is maintained and modified/tuned at the motorsports division of Porsche Thailand. Not exactly cheap, but most probably the best garage in Thailand..

It looks like shit, but I respect it for what it is: FAST!

[hemi_fan]

^^ Where are u coming from!?! Evos look awesome, especially TME EVOS... What colour r u painting it?! is that the actual paint or just primer in the pic?? Its an awesome car. i love it.

[evopanda]

I'm having it repainted white. Then i'm considering selling it. I've been playing with Honda's and this for years now.. I'm starting to feel like i'm getting old for this boy-racer stuff.. want to move on to something more luxurious.. i'm thinking about getting a 2004 A4 1.8T or maybe a 330i/330Ci.. something that looks good, yet is peaceful and easy to drive

evopanda, I understand you can't take a custom shot if your car is beeing resprayed these days, but next time read the rules

http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...=124881#124881

And about this: be prapared to provide a custom picture to prove you actually own the car or at least it is in your family. usually we request a picture of the owner manual on the car

And since you are unable to provide such pics, maybe you should have waited before posting the topic
