...he’s seen his daily income drop from about 1300 baht ($41) per day to around 400 baht.

So he was making 40,000 baht a month driving tuktuk? lol No way José.

I was referring to the poster who said several times he was dead and referred to a 'final firefight'.... The video streams being posted a few minutes ago was actual footage from hours ago that is on a loop on thairath.

 

I did see the live streams of the latest gunfire which actually happened around 10.30pm, that was an operation of probably covering fire to clear all the floors of trapped shoppers that the gunman wasn't on.... my wife's cousin included in those who were liberated by that operation.

 

Since then there has been no actual dramatic incidents. those being carried out were wounded long ago, oh and apparently the wife's cousin had to be carried out also because she has a condition and can not walk too well.

 

As a matter of fact, i want her to take me to the security guy who carried her to safety, so i can shake his hand.... he was a hero in my book.

No, the latest gunfire was around one and a half hours ago or so, and the media was eventually moved away. The intense shooting lasted for 10-15 minutes and there could be heard several hundreds of shots in an almost nonstop shooting.

What was 'live on streams'?..... The final firefight with a huge caption on it saying 'FINAL FIREFIGHT'?... then a picture of the dead gunman?..... Please provide at least a single link to support (realistically) that this is over.

No. He didn't even say he WAS dead. He said he HAS to be dead. If you had been watching the stream during the intense shooting, you'll understand it has to have ended there. Reuters also reported that two bodies were brought out after the shooting. It doesn't mean he IS dead, its just very surprising if he managed to get away.

Your wife is like a lot of people.... reading fake news and passing it on to her husband. 

 

I can not find a shred of this report anywhere on any media source, and i am in constant touch with events through the local social media platforms where many know people who are/were involved myself included.

 

I am just a few miles down the road from this mall. My wife was there just before it happened. 

 

You seem to be the only person who has this info.

What do you mean? It was live on streams on many news sites. I watched it myself on NRK.no (Norwegian).

Just watch Thairath live on Youtube. They're still covering it live.

A minute long? You mean 10-15 minutes with intense firing. Hundreds of bullets fired. He might be dead, but that seriously didn't sound like it went without a fight. Just wondering how on earth the hostages could escape that alive. Fingers crossed.

Reuters report two dead people carried out after the latest shooting.

Girlfriend is watching several Thai news sources online. 

 

The commandos yelled all clear after a minute long firefight and have now cleared out of the Mall with ambulance crews going in. 

 

So either they killed him or he killed himself before they got to him. Not sure which.

Probably inspired by the New Zealand terrorist, Breivik and others.  Not the first time this happens  in the world and will not be the last time.   RIP to all the victims. 

I read it was about a land deal dispute with his commander, but I can't confirm that.

Wuuhuu! THB went down 0.01 in value compared to the NOK since yesterday lol

????

Pretty much reflects Udon Thani and Don Mueang airports, where nearly half of the people was wearing masks a couple of days ago...

... untill celebrities came around ????

I voted for the second option as China seems to have woken up and taken impressive actions to tackle the spread of the virus before it got completely out of hand. That being said, 11 million people in Wuhan, Lunar New Year and knowing how little Chinese people understand and care about scientific medical facts and advice, I still consider the situation to be very severe, especially considering the virus has already spread significantly outside the lockdown regions and the fact that all levels of Chinese society is infamous of not telling the truth about just about anything.

Interesting, On that map Spain is blue. In fact in Spain prostitution is not legal but is behind the curtain i.e. not enforced. Brothels operate in plain sight but are licenced as hotels or nightclubs.

 

The UK as usual can't make it's mind up.

Just like Norway, where selling sex is completely legal but buying sex is strictly illegal lol

Seek for a donor Lexus LS400 - afair gives 200amps out of the alternator, and quite a few lexus' available on the market ^^

That won't do me any favors, as I'm not a fan of V8 engines. I'm European, and it's going to be a European "retro" build. But thank you for your suggestion as it would've opened up many opportunities as it does with many cars on the American market.

On my fun ride I sourced a higher amp alternator from a donner car and altered the brackets etc, think it came off a Toyota Supra....

 

Awesome. I have considered swapping the engine to a 1 or 2JZ GTE or other popular turbo engines as it makes everything so much easier, but I kinda wanted to keep it as stock as possible for the shock value.

Can you tell me more about the bracket, is it hard to find shops in Thailand that custom make brackets?

How many amps is your alternator?

Mint looking engine btw. What car is it?

Please wear mask, gloves, wash you hand with sterilizing liquid soap, get vaccinated (very important), and lock yourself up in the room until media tell you that is safe !

Can't you superstitious flat earth essential oils info wars far-right sjw keyboard scientist cult followers just make your own intranet in your underground bunkers? Would've been great for the rest of the human species not having to deal with such stupid opinions.

That is a lot of amps for a car, why do you need that amount...?

Well its about 20,000 watts (peak), when including the mids and high.

That being said, it might not be what I end up with. It's been a dream I've had for years and now could be my chance.

I'll gladly admit there might be some irrational thinking in moments of excitement. Kinda like grocery shopping when starving, but it is my goal nonetheless. Only thing smacking me back down in my chair is the availability in Thailand. The price for all the stuff needed is another thing slowing things down but I can deal with that as long as it is available.

I don't know much about batteries to be honest. I've been looking at XS Power D7500 as it is a popular choice, and while the Kadett (sedan) has a spacious trunk (720litre) its still pretty limited so I was thinking and hoping 2-4 batteries in the trunk would be enough. I'm trying my best to use the trunk for the subs (facing forward and flipping down the back seats when in use), amps and batteries, and then there's a whole lot of wires. It should work, but if not I'll remove the back seats and use the entire half of the car if needed.

Anyway, what's your experience and what do you recommend?

Not entirely sure what build I'm going for but its somewhere in the ballpark of two 15s or two 18's at 3-5000w rms each and 6 8" mids and 4-6 highs. Its not a build for competition, but rather for personal pleasure and casual parties etc. Any advice and tips is highly appreciated ????

Build more IKEAs and plenty of 7-Elevens automatically pops up around them.
