[Papsmearer]

Bought new abd its currently 90k km as i used it occasionally, especially gir trips up north.inyto the jungles and orchards.
Some malaysians drive all the way to china in their trucks.in convoys in case of any trouble along the route.

I am thinking of driving into Thailand, Phuket from Singapore. Must convoy to be safe meh?

probably not if paved roads all the way. Did Tasmania solo in a Mitsubishi ASX on a 15 days road trip round the whole island, lots of dirt roads, but nothing that requires a 4wd. More than 2,500 km in total.

This one definitely need to go in convoy, so body can be found in case one falls off the cliff. Will have to take course in off road driving since only rode in (as opposed to drive) land rovers, 3 tonners, unimogs, during NS. But scenery is worth it:

Its paved road all the way to Phuket. Even if off road needed, I was armour, so its a piece of cake for me. Plus my car is AWD.

the mitsubishi name and badge has a hard time selling in the u.s. market. too long a name, too many syllabuses, too japanese, not marketable to angmohs, hispanics, and niggers. even ah nehs and ah tiongs hate that name. not easy to pronounce. if it's renamed to "missybitchy", perhaps southern belles may take a liking to it.

middle easterners love it.
