'Cars on Flight' Custom Show Continued ... Euro Superstars
Following on from (see also part 1 - GT-R Heaven and part 2 - JDM) we continue with the European rides on display which were an incredible selection of the best the continent has to offer. See those previous posts for more about the event sponsored by TOYO tires.
This was a very Thai car show, with promo girls shouting and bellowing excitedly from megaphones, DJ and PA system cranking out Thai techno and disco music, and pretties standing in racing style costumes to promote various aftermarket brands who'd set up stalls and displays. For me however, the primary focus is on the cars. Today, it's Euro all the way and what a great spread there was.
Porsche
Saving the best until first ... :)
Let's get the best picture out the way. She surely makes this Porsche look better!
ouch.
911 GT3 racer has a laser etched photo-realistic sticker instead of the usual metal badge.
Look closely, it's a sticker instead of a proper badge on the most expensive Porsche. Just like how they do it on the racing cars.
Not just any 911s, these are fully range-topping track and race ready weapons costing basically double or more the standard road based Porsche 911 cars. You're gonna need a lot of Bitcoin to obtain any of these!
BMW
That's some stance work right there.
A very attractive E36 convertible with lots of originality.
Wheels and air suspension mods bring this ride into the modern custom era.
I wonder if they keep those stickers on the window all the time, or it's just for shows and events. They kind of remind me of neck tattoos - i.e. also not a fan!
Clean lines and very mellow yellow under the blue sky and palms of Pattaya, Thailand.
An E36 coupe, very nicely painted and stance ridden. Same car as in the opening shot of BMWs above.
A humble 318i no less, judging by the number plate. It's possible to buy almost any number for your car license in Thailand, and special numbers can go for a large amount (8888, 666, 555, 333, 3, 6, 9 are some frequently seen examples on cars of the elites. I'm guessing 318 was reasonably enough priced!
Around the back some different German plates for a full EURO look!
Volvo 850
Another in a very 1990's Yellow. I remember this color, available as an original option on the Volvo 850 yet I believe seldom chosen. Thus now quite rare, it really looks the part. Part family sensible wagon, part ultimate cool road-trip and show cruiser with the incredibly subtle modifications. It's all about the clean look here, with awesome under the skin mods. What's not to love about this slammed and stanced Volvo! Wagons are all the rage on the collector market right now.
Clean clean clean and even de-badged.
Lambos
Just the pair, although there could have been others. The white one looked very custom, with Liberty Walk parts and livery. Time is of the essence, there isn't much to say here other than 'Lambo' :)
Mercedes
There was a small gaggle of very awesome looking Mercs who'd also been subjected to the Bounce low-rider air treatment, something we seem to be seeing a lot of at all the shows.
Mercedes 240D
The Hammer?
560 SEC is what it says on the trunk. With an AMG badge. It could well be one of those incredibly expensive S-class coupe's from back in the 1990s. Any expert spotters to help us out here? It could also be a very nicely 'badge tuned' S Class coupe....
A very elegant old girl (below).
Mercedes Race Replica
From elegance (above) to outrageous ... I can't tell you much about this thing or even if it can track, bro.
I have no idea either. Many thanks for reading, and see you for some unbelievably nice air-brushed American customs in Part 4!
