The Bangkok Motor Show is an annual pilgrimage for my friend Bud Rockey and I. We like to see the new cars and the few "concept cars" the big car companies ship out to Thailand, like this Chevy Mira.
Cute Mazda concept car. Please build this one.
There is a big vendor area where every imaginable car accessory is displayed, but we like to see the vans with the big stereos. Amazing. The vans that go boom.
The interiors of these land yachts are quite fantastic: big screen flat panel TVs, and a million watts of power.
The extent of decoration of these vans is amazing. Fun.
There is even a section displaying local race cards. This is the "Pro Mod" of my friend Khun O. It has a 632 cu in. big block Chevrolet and over 1000hp.
Thee are product demonstations and stage shows going on everywhere to attract the Motor Show patrons interest.
But the fun part of the Motor Show are the models who will pose in front of the cars without even being asked.
Whatever was needed to attraction your attention to the new Hondas . . . .
The models are everywhere posing in front of cars.
Some were sweet . . . . .
. . . . and some were nutty, like the pretty Suzuki girls . . .
. . . . the Suzuki girls looked great from any angle. They drew a large crowd of professional and amateur photographers like myself.
I took a break between photographing the models by looking at the cool old restored Mercedes . . .
. . . and old Jags! WOW!
Some of the models were gorgeous.
Some booths had a mature beauty leaning on their new cars . . . .
The Mini stand opted for black leather and a red car . . . .
. . . . and sultry black on black.
You don't really need a pretty lady in pink to attract attention to the Porsche Boxter.
Porsche drew quite a crowd of photographers . . . I wasn't sure which they were more interested in, the car or the model.
But Volvo had the classiest act: Hats!
Wonderful Hats!
"Miss Cleaning Product" was my favorite model in the entire Motor Show. I wanted to buy wax and spray cleaners from her in the worst way.
