I’m sure he’s not a troll. Wasn’t he a mod many years back?

Don’t think so as they are part of Asean. Malaysian licenses are valid here. Same for Thai licences in Malaysia.

Like mistral, I also took the plunge and watched the video. I also watched another and this review was even more complimentary of the good cat. Are you sure you are not mistaking the Ora with a Toyota or Honda? Those have plenty of hard plastic for sure. Would appreciate a link to the video that claims a real world range of half the claimed range as this is arguably the single most important factor in making a decision.

I’m going for the Haval H6 PHEV. Battery only power range of 170 km driving at normal speeds. Combined with the ICE engine, range of around 900 km. About 4-5 videos on YT where they went separately to Chiang Mai, Nan, Nakhon Phanom, Krabi, all on one tank, one charge. No range anxiety for me.

I would like the war to end quickly. The consequences (high energy prices, food prices etc) are affecting my friends and family in the UK and Europe. Also, my former colleagues in the travel industry has had their business affected. It doesn’t matter to me who wins or lose.

Ukraine is seeking the assistance of the United States in pressuring Israel to supply it with military aid, Kyiv’s envoy to Jerusalem told US media on Sunday. This will drag the ME into a war that no one (except possibly Zelensky) wants. The war is currently limited to Europe which is fortunate for Asia but if the ME gets involved as well, it could quickly get out of hand. I hope Israel will stand firm.

Thanks for an excellent review.

Except that you haven’t provided any facts, just inaccuracies. No worries, I know where to file your posts.

Yes, it’s good that Russia is not blockading Odessa and letting the ships through and not stopping them. I came across something rather interesting. Apparently, out of the 9 million tons exported so far, the top 4 countries receiving the grain is Spain, Turkey, China and Italy. The world food program has only received 60,000 tons (a mere fraction) for Yemen and Ethiopia (countries with a high level of food insecurity). Seems unbalanced to me. Around the 7 min mark

You didn’t provide any links. I think you may be wrong about the sanctions. From this article, https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_37750.htm?, it sounds to me that it’s NATO that sanctioned Russia. Also, many countries that are members of the UN are not sanctioning Russia which, from what I understand, will breach UN rules.

Aren’t all members of the UN obliged to follow UN sanctions?

Build quality?

I wonder if he will now be taken off the sanctions list https://www.gov.uk/government/news/foreign-secretary-announces-65-new-russian-sanctions-to-cut-off-vital-industries-fuelling-putins-war-machine

Way too complicated for me. I plug the smart plug into my wall socket and the appliance into the smart plug and read the result off the app on my phone lol.

You can purchase smart plugs on Lazada with electricity monitors. This will tell you your instantaneous draw as well as hourly consumption of the appliance that you plug into it.

I guess the average consumer, including me, would be blissfully unaware other than griping that the autonomous driving feature is not good lol.

I believe the price of gas shot up after the conflict started but has since come down. Still about 10x of the pre-conflict price. The price of oil actually decreased after OPEC’s announcement of the cut. I can look for links if necessary.

Could you provide details such as name and cost?

Please update when you can. How many metres and how much did it cost?

Very bad for GWM. Let’s hope they pay a big price and learn from this dishonest behaviour.

Yes, I wish they would dispense with the zero covid policy as it seems extremely harsh at the present, given what we see happening in other countries.

Ukraine’s defence is greatly aided by weapons from NATO and the US. Russia’s not doing too badly, considering.

But correct in the case of taxis I have encountered. LPG seems rather cheap so why aren’t there more such vehicles in Thailand or other parts of the world? Also no car manufacturer that I know off sells a LPG powered car. Surely they are missing a trick? I see plenty of LPG stations everywhere so range anxiety should not be a problem.

Home invasions or robberies tend to occur where the perpetrator believes there are things of value in the property that he can steal. No point risking robbing the home of a person who has less than you. That’s why my home has never been invaded.

You could be right.
