Bold and radical
Racing from Hua Hin to Suvarnabhumi Airport in a time of about 100 minutes with about 15 minutes to spare for the 8.30am flight to Phuket proved in vain, all because some aviation rule says you have to check in at least half an hour before take-off. Fine, I never complain when flights are delayed.

NEO CLASSIC
Hey, are they serious about this?: Sure dude. Remember the Aero series? Well, this time Morgan wants to offer something a bit more practical, so it has developed the EvaGT sports car and debut it at a prestigious Californian seaside car show. There may be some retro touches to the 2+2, but the EvaGT looks remarkably contemporary - and far better than the gawky Aero - with its beautiful profile, waistline and "roofed" rear end. Enjoy the car in these official pictures released by the British sports car specialist.

THE MINI GETAWAY
Forget what the Mini used to be: ultra-small in size and cheerfully cheap in price. And accept it the way it is today: fashionable and frustratingly expensive (in Thailand due to premium pricing and high import tax).

Sleeping beauty
Peugeot is one of those unfortunate brands that have trouble penetrating the Thai car market, thanks to the perennial dominance of the Japanese. Even though the French is a mass-market player at home, it has to be content with small sales in Thailand.
