Dude the Blue Renault from France was an R8 Gordini, quite a rare beast. Gordini was a aftermarket engine builder. The R8 gordini was special build for Rallying. the original 1000cc engine was replaced with a high spec 4 cylinder 1400 cc with crossflow hemi head, duel side throat webers, extractors, upgraded Suspension, wheels and brakes. the extra driving lights to the front were also added. Racing seats and extra gauges in the dash. I served as a Renault Mechanic in Australia on a couple of these little beasts.
@Marcus Baca try not to attribute to malice, that which could easily be explained by ignorance. Chad really doesn't mean bad. He just didn't grow up in Europe.
You never fail with new and fresh content. Thanks Chad for taking a gamble on making a video some might not be interested in but I know most of your subs probably really enjoyed this video and the new content lately. Coming from a automotive Technician that was raised building HotRods and Harleys. It never ceases to amaze me where so many of these cool old cars will be found. Derek, VA 🇺🇸
Hi Chad, the Mitsubishi 4x4 (NIKON) was a rally car built in Sonata France, they raced them in the Paris - Dakar and Winns Safari Australia I was fortunate enough to be a driver for the Mitsubishi media team in Australia for about 4 years. The car was a complete Kevlar body and full race specs. Mitsubishi dominated these 2 events for about 5 years.
Dude, that Mitsubishi Pajero at the show is a Paris-Dakar race truck. The hardest long distance rally in the world. 2 weeks, thousands of miles. A SUPER special truck, built by Sonata. Amazing to see something like that in Thailand! Greetings from Atlanta!
The Mitsubishi Parejo you saw is very rare and it used for desert rally. The fact the vehicle survived is a miracle, often times the desert claims vehicles.
My dad used to be a big VW person in the van that you were talking about it is called a 21 window and they are very rare. My favorite is the Karmin Ghia and the sirocco.
The ol' Sirocco. I learned to drive in a manual Sirocco back in the late 80's in the west Texas desert. Not to many people even know what those are and I havn't seen one in 30 years I bet. Cool car!!!!
That was a fun video. I've owned a 1959 MGA (1st car) and did a lot of hands on restoration. I've also owned a yellow Toyota Celica identical to the one in the video (bought it new in 1973). I am now retired, but still keep a 2004 Porsche Boxster S just for the fun. It feels like driving a go-cart on the street.
My parents had a yellow Toyota Corolla , before I was born. I only know it from old blurry pictures , cool to see one in that good shape. My grandfather had a Toyota Crown in the '80 s , it was a solid and classy looking car.
I'm from San Diego California we used to have a place called Super Shops and it was like heaven! there is nothing like being able to touch feel and smell all of the aftermarket racing parts in one shop. it was like putting on a hoodie out of the dryer on a cold wet day...
I remember when the closest thing to speed shops in America (1960's) was The Pep Boys (I can still remember the smell of tires when you entered the stores), or mail order from J.C. Whitney. And it wasn't unusual to order by mail, cams and headers and floor shifters for whatever you were racing at your local "Saturday night" speedway (mine was Saugus Speedway or Ascot).
Nice work Chad, i love how you find these places. I always find it crazy how much stock Thai shops of any sort carry. Computerized multinational parts stores would have a fit.
I think so, they were installing a set of taillights outside when I was there so I’m sure they can help. The girl that works there speaks great English too.
Chad Renault had an F1 team, I'm amazed you didn't who they were , loved this video we need more like this one for the true car guys 👌 and how cool is that café
I remember a Super Autobacs in Orange County some time back. Beautiful store. It unfortunately opened at a time when import tuning was on its downward trend and closed some time later.
Those corollas are the KE10 and KE15 variants. The latter having the fastback rear window(KE15), also has the same body as the sprinter variant in some markets of the same year.
If you r wondering about the price of the licenses plates number 7777 Bangkok, it costs at least 100k US dollars. And the meaning of that number is Prosperity in life and success. You might take one Chad..👍👍
Renault, it's just one of the biggest car manufacturer companies in the world. It's just hilarious how you don't know them. Keep going with the good work. I really enjoy your videos.
I actually owned a 23 Window Samba back in the mid to late 70's. It was a little rough but it was running and driving when I sold it. I regret selling it to this day, but back then they were just another VW Van.
There is a mom and pop race store in Independence Louisiana. It’s called Clausens Racing. You can literally walk in with a pile of cash and walk out with everything you need to have a race car built from nothing.
Bro - your video starts out at Asok - my company regional office is in the Interchange building. Going to check out that Bluemoon Restaurant for sure - thanks for the tip 🙏🏻
Just to say, the isetta is not the smallest car, the peel p50 is, I only know because it was on Top Gear and Clarkson drove it. The COE are such nice trucks
The Isetta BMW is not the smallest car the Peel 50 is half the size. you would be able to squeeze into it as well. Like the Isetta however there is no reverse
That Lamborghini farm tractor is badass!! I would've asked if they would fire it up. COOL piece of history! Chad : "I have no idea what this is". As he walks by what looks to be a vintage Bugatti [ the Blue/Black car ] ? Lol! 👍
@@CBMedia404 I'm not 100% certain, Chad, yet by all appearances it looks to be. I thought you were pulling a fast one on us when you walked by the Lamborghini farm tractor and didn't say anything. Thought maybe you're checking to see if we're paying attention? 🤣 LOVE your content, Brother!! 👍💪😎
Definite NOPI vibes in there. I recall the NOPI shop in Atlanta, but it was nearly closed the last time I went. Just APC junk everywhere and really pared down from the old days. And in case no one mentioned it, it's [Reh-NO], not [RAY-NAulT]. We Americans aren't privledged enough to get the pronunciations of the French cars nailed down back home. And I wanna see more of that detail shop! Some seriously sweet rides there!
We have an old-school auto parts store in my town. I go at least once a week to go buy something, or just hang out and talk to the owners. I remember they used to be all over the place. We used to hang out in the parking lots after school and show off our cars.
Dude this what i have been wanting to do. I’m retiring in Bangkok and I have a early VW BUS I want to have in a restaurant. That sterling wheel shop is crazy. I live in Arizona now. I want to retire in 6 years.
I missing to go to these tuner part stores, we have those cheap stuff stores left, but not a propper tuner shop, It's one of four type of stores types I missing 1. Tuner/serious car part store 2. Video store/Video rent shop 3: Record store 4: Gamer store
Chad at least 2 of the COE's were Chevy's... 49 to 58ish but the Oval Grill one is a Ford... LOL the One you said didn't float your Boat - I think is an old Bugatti type 46??
Hay Chad Was just thinking 💭 thought bubble here You showed how well the shop can refurbish old steering wheels on other occasions you have showed other parts etc How about if you get some old genuine brand parts together and show us what these guys can do Perhaps a special CB media part or series of parts to buy from you ? Or as prizes on your promotions etc Cheers
Man i haven't seen a small business centered around car performance parts here in Texas besides in the flea markets or the speaker selling businesses. Although Summit racing has become popular here immediately. A local business just opened up that sells special cleaning products tho. I cant wait to see Cream Pai!
That VW Bus is a 21 window and yeah they go for lots of $$. I am a little surprised you didn't know that. Not that I know a lot cuz I don't. I think 21 windows are cool to look at.
Hi Chad ! Hey, VW guys... isn't that VW Bus (I guess) suspiciously LONGER than stock ?? Seems it's about a "window" longer. (LOL). Any ideas on that ?? Factory or custom ??
There’s a serious amount of money in that concourse the blue Renault looks to be a Renault 8 which is a French car from the 70s but the Mitsubishi from the Dakar rally is my favourite

One of 3 smallest cars in the world, had the nickname of bubble cars, that black/blue car look like a 1940s Riley they ended up being made by Roots.

Thanks Chad, some of us here are old enough to remember parts stores like that. And miss them...

so much different things
This was great content
Nice work Chad, i love how you find these places. I always find it crazy how much stock Thai shops of any sort carry. Computerized multinational parts stores would have a fit.
I always smile at the way you treat all the pups you meet... it speaks to your energy and spirit.
"No knock offs on my car"...besides the car itself. Still a gem tho : )
Love the the Bkk vids, that’s a nice new wheel you got😊👍 I might go check it out myself. Can they install them there buddy?
I think so, they were installing a set of taillights outside when I was there so I’m sure they can help. The girl that works there speaks great English too.

I saw you today by the elevator. Thanks for the selfie pictures! Stay awesome brotha! You’re bad@55
Thanks for saying hello
thanks for the upload chad...
Good vlog again CB, some of those rides are top shelf collectors items
Colorado plate on the R/T Challenger was from the movie "Vanishing Point".

Old oriental proverb. Man who walk through airport door sideways, is most likely going to Bangkok.
your videos make me want to travel to Thailand
another sick video! great content Chad!
Chad the isetta isnt the worlds smallest car. Check out the peel p50. Made on the isle of man in the uk. Makes that isetta look like an estate car!!
Glad you are back in Thailand
Reminds me of the original cb media videos, the style, the vlog the train… love it
Cool, i went there a couple of years ago. My suitcase was very heavy on the flight home
used to have a bmw 328is that was the same jade green...beautiful color!!
Awesome vid bro... keep it comin🤙🏾👊🏾✌🏾
Have you been at the Bangkok Poutine restaurant?
Awesome video, I cant believe that dog was 12 years old! He looked like a pup.
He did not walk well. That is a sign of an old Pomeranian dog who has joints problem.
Chad if you think an Issetta is small look up a British Company called Peel who made a tiny car called the P50 on the Isle of man in the 1960's
The Peel P50, that was the car I sat in! I went back to find the photo and realized I totally messed that up lol
The Peel is so small you have to get out of it to change your mind, I drove once...not comfortable and I'm only 5'11"
Rick B
@@CBMedia404 I'm only 5'9" and the Peel was small on me how you got in one is a mystery! Would love to see them photos lol
LOL I sat in the P50 but there was no way I would have been able to drive it at 6’4” LOL
