The future of motoring?

Steam car at the annual Steam Rally at Cark and Cartmel. Remarkably nippy, very quiet and nothing more noxious than steam coming out the exhaust pipe. It'll never catch on.... Sun27Jul03. Scanned

Tuk Tuk on steroids

30 Oct 2009 2 4 464
Unique to Ko Si Chang, these Samlors are a stretched and beefed up version of the normal Tuk Tuk. Powered by a 1200cc motorcycle engine to enable them to cope with the hilly terrain of the island. These can be hired for about 250 Baht - about £5 - a day, and the driver will take you around the island to see the sights. Mon2Nov09
