  1. This is what I have been using for the last decade. This photo was taken on the day I bought it. It is a Honda 3011H bought secondhand. I paid about 45K and then a further 10K to get it working the way I wanted including new tyres and battery. Transmission is hydrostatic which is desirable if it is made by Honda. Very high quality, very reliable, well designed and does an excellent job. Try here: https://www.truck.in.th/ Look for mower section https://www.truck2hand.com/ For me a better choice than a Chinese mower at 100K.
  2. Fanta is a brand of the American Coca Cola company. It was created during WW2 and Coca Cola profited handsomely from selling it in Nazi Germany during the war.
  3. In Chumphon province. My most common journey by far is a 52 km round trip. About half of it is on Phetkasem road where I typically drive at 100 to 110 kph. The rest is on fairly quick two lane highway where I drive at 80 to 100 kph. I think one factor that contributes to the Celerio's fuel economy is that the manual version only weighs 785 kg.
  4. Suzuki Celerio manual. 22.9 km/litre. 36 Baht per litre = 1.57 Baht per km. I could get better fuel economy than that if I tried.
  5. Perhaps. But it is also very funny given all the BS Nigel has been peddling over the last few days.
  6. Having Googled the word I see that it is from the mangled version of English used by Americans. That explains why I was not familiar with it.
  7. Try Scoot. They fly BKK, Singapore, Gold Coast. I booked a return ticket for my SIL earlier this year and it was about 40K.
  8. 14mm is the diameter of the thread.
  9. 1000 Island Dressing you say? Did you wonder why the delivery boy arrived late looking drained and flustered?
  10. According to the BBC Vlad has left Moscow for Saint Petersburg. I guess that is where he keeps his spare underwear.
  11. Another vote for Honda. Mine is a UMK435T. Like others I do not use a bump feed head.
  12. Well I ordered the parts for the Honda Innova at my dealer in Chumphon using the parts book for a 2004 Wave 125S so they must have been making the Wave 125 back then. The only differences between the Innova and the Wave are to do with lighting where legal requirements differ in the EU/UK. The 2004 Wave parts book shows an electric starter. Wave parts book is here: https://mototh.com/en/bike/6/Honda+WAVE+125S+2004
  13. It is actually a 2004 Honda Innova 125 which I have in the UK. The Innova is 99% the same as a Wave 125S so I assume the Wave 125S of the same year would have electric start too.
  14. Does it have a kick starter? If yes, then I would not repair/replace until it fails. Failure may never happen during your ownership. There is some parts availability on most Honda starter motors. I have just rebuilt a starter motor on a twenty year old Honda Wave by fitting new brushes. The job is pretty fiddly but it saves a lot of money compared with replacement.
  15. That is true. There are many areas the Ranger lacks capability.
  16. A large percentage of pickups get used in the same way as a car. Given the OP lives in Bangkok I suspect that is what he is doing. I used to own a Vigo and it was rare that it carried anything heavier than the groceries from Lotus.
  17. Please post a link showing that any mass produced car engine is run in at the factory.
