    456 SPEEDSTER! Looks pretty sharp actually. Way better than the lame sultan Shooting Brake wagons.

    Actually, as I recall, they are having a big problem with thieves stealing high end cars and removing the engines. After they have the innards, the thieves leave the car and the authorities recover the body sans drivetrain. A few weeks later and the car heads to auction where the thieves buy it for a song and reinstall the engine. At that point, they legally own the car.
    With this example, the authorities actually did destroy a real 456 to prevent this from happening.

    My post didn't have any corresponding keywords (crushed, 456, backhoe, Thailand Customs) so you probably wouldn't have found it. However, with your thread it's searchable now. ;)
