For me I started with a Mini Van, progressed onto a Triumph Herald, to a Triumph Vitesse 2 Litre, Then another Vitesse 2 litre, couple of escorts including a van, Transit Van, Rover V8 manual, BMW 735i.
I loved the Vitesse, great litttle cars, straight 6 engines , twin strombergs, I loved the Rover V8 engine noise, mine was the P6 model, (same as Rover 2000), but, The BMW was a peach, it had it all, so for me my top 3 would be......
1. BMW 735i.
2. Triumph Vitesse 2 Litre.
3. V8 Rover P6.
This was obviously not in Thailand Doctor...
Let's start again and make it Thailand related...
My favourite car (Purchased in Thailand) is my current one... a little red Ford Laser Tierra RS.
Close the thread then.

so back to the topic............... do you think the snitch was paid?
What was the topic?
Oh Yea,..............
No I do not think he was paid, probably another go-go bar owner trying to eliminate the competition.
Dog eat dog in Pattaya, too many bars after too few customers.

Anti theft:
I used to have a Triumph Vitesse 2 Litre, and when I parked the car I would lift the bonnet , open the distributor cap and remove the Rotor arm and put it in my pocket.
It was easy with a Vitesse.

Which is a bit rich considering your anti sex tourist rantings in other threads on this board.
I was there for pure research purposes and I never once looked at the poor girls, I was observing the sad audience.
Was you there?

I have yet to be in a gogo bar in Thailand

Well cdnvic, you're not missing much. Unless you flourish in the company of a clientele who act like the last set of tits they saw was 61 years previously when their Mother stopped breast feeding them.

I didn't know Doctor John lived in Pattaya?

Funny you should say that..............I do as it happens.

As I said in a previous thread, some Farangs are not to be trusted. If they think they can score brownie points by grassing up their mates, they will and they do.
Forget all that ' We stick together ' garbage, it's dog eat dog in Thailand.
Chinese stick together, Indians stick together, Jews stick together and most do well in whatever country they are in, farangs in Thailand do not stick together at all.
Don't trust them, I did and lost 60,000 Baht.

Every 5000 Kms for my truck.
I was in an Isuzu that had done over 900,000 Kms from new, still has the original gearbox and engine, the guy that owns it changes the oil every 4000 Kms.

The best places to buy cheap stuff are chinatown and pratunam for clothes/cosmetics. I'm selling on ebay and it's very easy, but i won't give away anymore of my secrets, or everybody will be doing it.
Doing what, going to Chinatown and buying cheap clothes and cosmetics and selling them on e-bay?
Yes, best you keep your secret secure.

Devildog,
The guys that are giving you abuse are the same guys that envy you, don't worry about it she's lovely.
Good luck bro.

Kittipong described the suspects as “fun-loving educated people”.
--The Nation 2005-02-21
If they can pin the ecstacy or coke on any individual, the fun loving will stop.
I knew a guy that got 9 years for 6 ecstasy, 18 months for each one, and that was before the war on drugs.
And Cocaine, well, no government likes that too much. My bet is they will be encouraged to reveal the scource of the drugs, and someone else will be getting busted soon.
If they had stuck to a goverment controlled drug like Alcohol, no problem, but when you want to use a drug of your own choice which is not controlled and taxed by the Government, then watch out!

Cheers lads, I will play around with it.

It depends on the DVD player. Since your DVD player can view photos and MP3s, then it has support for those files. However, for video files, it needs explicit support for the format. Of course it can play mpeg/mpeg2 formats, since they are the formats of VCDs and DVDs, but only some can actually play the files when they are written as normal computer files. I know mine can't, and I know that many cheap brand players can. Some newer players also play Divx (mpeg4) files.
If you want complete compatibility, you need to "author" those video files into either a VCD or DVD-video format. This means that the authoring programs will create special files and directories specific to the VCD/DVD-video, which any DVD player will recognize. Nero can do this authoring and converting for VCDs, but it can't do it for DVDs. You will need an authoring program to do that.
Thanks Firefox, I have Nero, I will just have to read the instructions more carefully.

I can burn music files, no problem, photos no problem too, and I play these on my DVD player, photos and music work fine through the DVD player.
Video files I can burn but they do not play on my DVD player but do play on my laptop.
Why is that?

Just like Astral wisely said, never ever invest more here than you are willing to walk away from.
Good advice,
I see some guys building very expensive houses that they will have to walk away from if it all go's pearshaped, Ok if you are loaded I guess, but I have known guys spend nearly everything they have on a house, then they get all resentful cos they cannot own it, although they knew that from the outset.
I am not rich enough to pay 3 - 4 million baht for a house I will never own, and it must be a real bummer when you lose it, 5-600,000 Baht is ok for me.
And make sure your car or truck is in your name or you will lose that at the same time you lose your house.
Bottom line is , don't invest more than you are comfortable with losing if you have to walk away. It will save you a lot of sleepness nights if you stick to that formula.

, and remember to turn the gas off if you can smell it
cheers
When I used to live in Hastings I used to turn my gas meter round so it ran in reverse, to make sure the gas was not leaking I would light a match and run it around the joint.
True story.

So why don't we start a thread about people who complain about farangs in thailand.
Wow, I certainly did not expect such a hostile response to a thread, I repeat, My post was not aimed at any individual personally.
Why is everybody so defensive?
-
I agree with Old Asia hand, it doesn't make you a better person on the whole becuase you are more tolerant of certain peoples ways.
Of course it does not make anybody better or worse for being tolerant, and my post is not directed at any particular poster, it is directed at many posters who are always complaining about Thailand and Thai people.
It's not personal, it's just business.

That is why 99% of people on this board think of you as a big joke who is probably hiding something as you seem to protest too much.

You see how I am singled out for special treatment by not joining in with the Thai bashing?
This is also an example.
Thanks, keep em coming.

You take one part out of a a very truthfull post and then procede to take the piss out of it.
No fooling you is there?
I used his words to demonstrate my point, it was a fine example.

But if you ask the average Sex Tourist coming to Thailand they will scream that the sex workers are getting rich from their money, and they choose to do it.
In many many cases this is just not the case, but sex tourists will try to defend their actions , one thing they cannot change however is the fact that are a sad bunch of lowlifes exploiting another persons misfortune.
If you wanna give money to someone that needs it, give it to an AIDS Hospice or an Orphanage, don't make people sleep with you for the money!
