Is it illegal to have colorful spokes now? 

Probably not but 2" wide tyres should be.

I think that armoured truck thing would look better with gold wheels.

To many Thais, the first thing they do after buying a new Car or Pickup Truck is to install new Wheels and Tyres on the thing.

Basically saying, " here I am, and I have the Money to do this to my Wheels ".

These kind of Mods are banned in the UK.

Any mod made to your Car other than that specified by the manufacturer and the Model, are classed as Illegal and invalidate all Insurance cover.

And to Jonny above.  I agree , my old Vios has the same alloy wheels it came with but I never see another with them. Oh and all the ones I see with different wheels all look wrong to me.

I have never heard that from the UK but it kind of makes sense , Fitting a super charger to your little Korean import then adding oversized alloys would change the car a tad.

Some bright spark at an ad firm probably thought, "Lets just copy the way foreigners call Tesco, Tesco's."

So Lotus became Lotus's.  Should it not be Lotus' ?

Should be but only if you did English at school. My wife says ' You need lotit today ? ' I mean lealy .

Realistically - Any modern car is going to be decent. 

They all have good safety, they are all comfortable to drive. 

They all have minor niggles, nothing is perfect.

 

absolutely, anyone around in the 70s/early 80s will know how often cars used to break down, cars are extremely reliable these days.

 

also, remember tvs? my dad was forever banging the side or top to stop the rising or falling horizontal lines across the screen. or moving the aerial, which sat on top of the tv, around the room to get a decent picture...

 

ahhh... the good old days...

Ah yes , we had a Pye set I think it was . All sitting round waiting for the 6 0'clock news with Robert Dougal was it.  Set was switched on at 5.55 to allow 5 mins to warm up. If I remember correctly children's TV went off at 5 then nothing 'til 6 to allow mothers to put their kiddiewinks to bed.

Was she also a minx?

She did have her moments.  After the Hillman with a load of cash from an accident I bought a Morgan. The Au-pair did say ' If you think I am going to in the Morgan you have another think on the way '.( Read with a Dutch accent ).  Lovely lady , would be about 72 now and not as cute.

My car here is a Vios , never heard of them but years ago my old Benz was getting too expensive to run + I had to go to Chiang Rai to get it seviced. so I went to a local place and swopped it for the Vios.

What a fine little car , alawys does what is asked of it . Ok I have had more interesting cars in the past , but those were in England.  My first car was a 1938 Hillman Minx , was given to me I passed my test in it and sold it for a fiver. This was in 1968 and I was 21. The au-pair was 18.

What is so special about her?

 

I have met plenty of pretty thai girls who "took up the whistle"

Take it up the whistle . Sounds a bit rude to me.

Good for her , let others climb mountains for poverty trapped orphans .

I have to once a month when 'er indoors get the red wave.

' She said she had mental health issues '.  Every day there is a punch up appearing on here , domestic ,vehicle related and always someone has mental health issues.. I suppose if I got knocked off of my bike and I retaliated I would have mental heath issues. Some folk do think I'm silly because I'm not quite right though isn't it.

Where the duck are you?

Far too far north.

' Don't you know who I am ? ' should help him a bit.

This place is around the corner in Nimman and is less expensive and better in my opinion.

Get the sweet potato fries they are great.

The best place is round the corner in Nimman   Where the duck is Nimman ?
