  1. With very rare exceptions, such as the original Tesla Roadster, I cannot see there ever being classic EVs. EVs are throw away cars.
  2. Because done right the end result would be fun. By contrast the current Honda range is just a bunch of CVT dross with small turbo engines.
  3. A front cut is where I would start. That will give you a whole bunch of parts that you either need or are desirable. Driveshafts Gearbox and clutch Gear linkage Engine wiring loom ECU Brakes Instruments (with higher rpm and probably higher speed) Engine mounts etc etc
  4. Well that is one way to keep prices low.
  5. This is sure to capture the youth vote.
  6. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/21/electric-cars-more-likely-to-hit-pedestrians-than-petrol-vehicles-study-finds "Hybrid and electric cars are more likely to strike pedestrians than petrol or diesel vehicles, particularly in towns and cities, according to an analysis of British road traffic accidents. Data from 32bn miles of battery-powered car travel and 3tn miles of petrol and diesel car trips showed that mile-for-mile electric and hybrid cars were twice as likely to hit pedestrians than fossil fuel-powered cars, and three times more likely to do so in urban areas."
  7. That serves to demonstrate that chatgpt is an unreliable source of information.
  8. According to the BBC Boris Johnson arrived to vote without ID and was turned away. Clueless.
  9. The truck is used for business and the fuel cost is of little consequence when weighed against near constant availability and utility.
  10. "My car travels on fresh air and… sunshine lol." .....and the toxic mess that is its battery.
  11. I think I got the 65 litre figure from either Toyota's website or a brochure but at least one time a fuel station recorded a higher figure when filling up. I assumed the fuel metering was suspect but maybe your 76 litre figure is right.
  12. It's a 2015 Hilux Vigo 2.5. Fuel tank is 65 litres.
  13. My Hilux 15 to 16 km/litre since it was new. Now 500,000 km on the odo. 1000 km range.
  14. Is it your name in the blue book?
  15. Thank you for mentioning that. I will look into TU Hospital as it would certainly be convenient.
  16. Thank you. I will follow your advice.
  17. The hospital in the south did an MRI specifically of the lumbar sacral region of my back and both hip joints. The radiologist who assessed the MRI noted no abnormalities. I have the MRI scan on DVD. I should perhaps have mentioned in my original post I am 64 years old and male.
  18. I am seeking a recommendation for a hospital in Bangkok or the greater Bangkok area that has a good reputation for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions. Since January of this year I have been suffering from a condition that affects my right leg. I believe this condition to be neurological in nature. In January I was in rude health. I could walk long distances and I swam typically three kilometres a week. Since then I have developed a condition that affects control and power of the muscles in my upper right leg. I walk with a walking stick and walking much beyond 50 metres is a challenge. I cannot drive as I cannot control the accelerator and brake with precision. I cannot ride a motorcycle as my right leg lacks the strength to keep the bike upright. I have had a number of falls with one resulting in two broken bones in my right foot. I have constant pain which radiates down the inside of my right leg. The pain seems to be worst at night and it is rare that I sleep more than two hours at a time. I sought diagnosis and treatment from a local private hospital here in the south of Thailand but, despite considerable expense and the use of just about every diagnostic tool they have including MRI, I have not had a clear diagnosis. At best I have had opinions from the four doctors I saw. At times these opinions were contradictory and in one case the passage of time proved the opinion wrong. I think I have reached the limit of their knowledge and experience. I am therefore seeking a recommendation for a hospital in Bangkok or the greater Bangkok area that has a good reputation for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions. I will be staying in the Rangsit area. Any assistance you can give will be appreciated.
  19. How right you are. The Isuzu D max gets through a lot of spark plugs.
  20. I guess an F1 race in Thailand might have the benefit that Christian Horn Dog Horner might leave his staff alone for at least one weekend.
  21. Because F1 management demand huge sums of money to give a country hosting rights to an F1 race. It is the reason why you have F1 races in god awful places like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Azerbaijan.
  22. Zero chance F1 is coming to Thailand.
