In the jungle

I followed an MG along a country road I know well. Lots of lefts and rights of varying radius at about 100 to 120 kph. I don't know the exact model but a smallish SUV. It was a sloppy horror in the corners. Particularly poor when transitioning left to right and vice versa.

To be fair, and I seldom am, that was witty and amusing.

Celerio manual weighs 785kg Neta. Don't know, don't care but a lot.

Neta is too slow and heavy and looks like Noddy's car.

That's what I bought this year as a daily driver. It's fun to drive and it has a proper gearbox. My annual fuel bill is less than it costs to insure an EV.

No they are not.

I gather you are not a fan of EVs.

"The event aims to show that ancient puppets served as a prototype for modern robotics." FFS!

Go to Surat Thani then cross to the west. If you are looking for a tougher test go from Chumphon to Ranong and then down the west coast. This route is quite pretty but plenty of hills.

I interpret your current visa as the window within which you must enter is 25 October to 9 November. In theory you could enter multiple times within that brief window but for most people it means that a multiple entry visa is of no greater value than a single entry visa. The next question is what leave to enter will you actually be granted. Right now that is unanswered. I am showing an interest in this topic because I plan to travel to Vietnam in December.

I wonder what Srettha is going to spend his 10K on.

You know this guy is an EV zealot right?

He sounds like a good choice. He, for sure, will know where to take the head.

Sorry. Brain fade. Milling machine is what I have seen used in Thailand.

Yes. 1K baht. The work is done on a lathe which you will see in just about any machine shop. It takes less than an hour. The key is the skill of the lathe operator. A lathe operator who does not understand the job or does not have skill in its use can turn your head in an expensive door stop in short order. I have done this job on at least fifty cylinder heads in Thailand. By 'done' I mean took the head to a shop that did the work.

I heard it when I had a holiday job at Marks and Sparks on one Pound an hour. It was management speak for staff theft. It was a bloody awful job. Soul destroying.

Shrinkage was in use in the UK as far back as the 1970s referring to theft by staff.

Price more like 1K. The key thing is to find a shop that knows what they are doing.

The only way that is worth 900K is if they throw in the chick with the twin air bags.

Kiosk means cash. They like cash.

Most of the electronics is stupid crap to bump up the price. My guess is that in time there will be EVs that have an electric drivetrain but without all the touch screen rubbish. They already have such cars in China.

Ignoring environmental considerations EVs have some inherent advantages over ICE that are undeniable: 1. NVH 2. Weight distribution 3. Power and torque delivery 4. Simplicity 5. Minimal servicing But if you buy an EV right now you are buying the Sinclair ZX80 of EVs and paying an early adopters premium for doing so. In five years time there will be EVs way better and way cheaper. Another significant downside to owning an EV is that most people will assume, with good reason, that you are probably a smug self righteous prat.

Rain storm caused minimal disruption. Hold the front page.

I have the same bike with the same cast wheels. 1 When I looked I could not find tubeless tyres in the correct sizes (this was a while ago). 2. I don't think you could fit tubeless valves to the wheels without some machining.
