We've got an 18 month old Mazda 3 for sale if you're interested, it never gets used and only done 9k miles.

Update - My wife has now converted the Mazda into an Eco-friendly model, it has gone green and blends seamlessly into the local environment.

Funny the MIB told me that the red plates meant that you could not travel out of Prachuap without a police letter.

My advice for being stopped id don't don't. Unless the guy is right in your path don't stop.

If you have to stop for anything, tell him you have no cash and can you drop it into the police station. He should give you a fine slip which you then throw away and forget all about it.

I have never heard of a case being pursued unless of course anybody out there knows different.

I wouldn’t buy a Mazda 3; they seem to have very poor road-holding.

A formula 1 car wouldn't be able to hold-the-road if my missus was behind the wheel :D
