The long boat captains are a buncha hooners.  Everyone's got a big honkin' turbo diesel on a stick running their craft.

Looks like a Mazda 808, piston engine version of the RX-3.

Doesn't look like either of the pictures here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_808

The front does look a little like a Holden Torana: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1974_ … -06%29.jpg

Looks like a member of the Isuzu Gemini family. Maybe a Holden Gemini? Daewoo Maepsy?

Re: Spotted in SE Asia

It is not a Torana.
Does look more Mazda than anything.

Re: Spotted in SE Asia

I gua-ron-tee you that this is an RX-3 or 808. They used different noses depending on the market, but I'm pretty sure only the 808 used single round sealed beams. Yours has a custom front bumper, but otherwise it's clear what it is.

Bangkok, Thailand.  The ladies are pretty there (even those with alternate plumbing), but the cars... oh, the cars.

Re: Spotted in SE Asia

Yeah, alternate plumbing. Good rule of thumb is the really pretty ones, especially with make-up are the tranny boys. Stick with the plane jane local asian types.
