I've fettled the topic title for a bit more clarity. It's worth noting that used cars tend to hold their value here. So, if you intend keeping it a long time, it may actually pay to buy new.

I would avoid the "tents" if not knowledgeable. There are places that do "Certified" used cars with warranty. One near us.

@OneMoreFarang how many do you need; I think I have a couple of the Haco 3-pin (P-002) in-stock? PM me

Sadly, the Haco plugs have been discontinued and I've not found a suitable (or even unsuitable) replacement

And if you want jets, the Blackburn Buccaneer was the absolute master of low flying. By the way, this is a bomber!

That's not a low-pass. THIS is a low pass (family friendly version): -

If it looks too good to be true ... Especially in Thailand.

I admit to being surprised they still had two floating frigates!

Someone failed to make a dud round safe, then it suddenly wasn't a dud! And they wonder how they lost a frigate in a fairly minor blow last year! It's a bloody warship, if it gets a bit bumpy, you button-up tight. Training guys, training!!!!

Remember that our solar is already fusion-powered, we just keep the reactor at a safe distance (93,000,000 miles). Great that things are healing, as we age everything slows down, just take care.

Sorry, my warped mind immediately flicked to a different kind of men's "support". A vintage newspaper ad from my formative years in the UK. Fetching my coat

@007 RED how are you doing on the recovery front?

I reckon In practice it will probably just roll off with your finger, particularly after the sun/heat/UV have cooked it for a while. Also try IPA or WD-40 to help it along but avoid getting any on the seals of the panels.

Heisenberg, Schrodinger, and Ohm are driving along the road together - Heisenberg is driving. After a time, they are stopped by a traffic cop. Heisenberg pulls over, and the cop comes up to the driver's window. “Sir, do you know how fast you were driving?” asks the cop. “No” replies Heisenberg “but I know precisely where I am” “You were doing 70.” says the cop “Great!” says Heisenberg “Now we're lost!” The cop thinks this is very strange behaviour and so he decides to inspect the vehicle. After a time he comes back to the driver's window and says “Do you know there's a dead cat in the trunk?” “Well, now we do!!” yells Schrodinger. The cop thinks this is all too weird, so he proceeds to arrest the three. Ohm resists.

Attention potential responders: - Please read and abide by the forum rules. We are already very near the line.

I would say something about a certain religion, but I'd get baaaaa'd The one in the pink tutu is pretty hot! Fetching my coat

Sounds like it's time to change your US banking arrangements. I'm a Brit so no personal recommendations, but Charles Schwab seems to be popular with other members. Then you have to fun of opening a new account remotely

I'm a bit confused as to what transactions you are making at a local ATM. Can you do anything other than get cash out? I assume you have on-line access to your US banking system where you can make your necessary payments to your credit-cards? For your local cash requirements transfer from your US bank to your BKK Bank account and then use card or cardless withdrawal to get your money. I don't recall the last time my UK bank cards went anywhere near a Thai ATM.

I think the panel is too small, fan is 6W you need at least 10-15W of panel with some form of voltage regulator so you don't over-volt the fan. I'd add a small 12V lead-acid battery too and keep the fan running at night.

With the latest Aussie "road-rage" report we Brits will soon be out of the Top-Ten Most Hated Tourists list!

If only he'd controlled his temper, he would still be flying under the radar and all would be right with his world!

Long, long ago we were working on Chek-lap-kok airport (Hong Kong's "new" airport - did I say it was a while back). Just before opening there was a large stack of luggage which had been used for testing of the baggage handling system with a large sign "FREE - take what you like". The state of some of the bags that were still there after a day was something to see, hard-case stuff (including Samsonite) totally destroyed. I've always travelled with mid-range soft luggage, the baggage mangling system will kill anything. And let's not talk about the bag I saw that had "fallen off" a baggage train and been run over several times (this was after opening when we were heading to K.L.), hopefully it just contained some poor unfortunate's dirty underwear. Best take away from that job was on opening night. We'd just got back to the hotel at "unholy AM", just dozing off when the room phone rang. An extremely bleary-eyed me answered and heard a very excited 15-year-old daughter exclaiming "Dad, we've just seen you on News-at-Ten"!!
