    Hi Ingar welcome to Thailand Blogs. Very good 9/10…….but which one is wrong?

    My guess to your questions is, 1) the owner of the original Red Bull(M150?) he’s a man and I can’t remember his name without looking. Some folk might think its a former PM of Thailand and of course no one knows where he is :-) 2. As to where the owner of Red Bull is placed……….Australia?
