All hail the mighty EV,
Grant me everlasting recharges,
The volts to smite mine enemies,
The amps to melt their ICE,
The watts and wherefore‘s notwithstanding,
Strike down those ICE’ers with thy mighty power
Amen!
To be fair, and I seldom am, that was witty and amusing.

Missing statistic - relative kerb masses.
I can't say being heavier improves handling. It probably steers like a cow on roller skates in corners.
Celerio manual weighs 785kg
Neta. Don't know, don't care but a lot.

Maximum power (PS/ rpm) 68/ 6,000
Maximum torque 90 Nm/ 3,500rpm
Length (mm) 3,600
Width (mm) 1,600
Height(mm) 1,540
254 litres of luggage
Neta V:
95 PS (94 hp or 70 kW)
150 Nm of torque
Length: 4070 mm.
Width: 1690 mm.
Height:1540 mm
rear luggage space of 335 liters
I'd definitely spring for the 143k more, and never have to buy petrol again, or oil changes/tune ups. ROI rather quickly. Along with, actually enjoy driving it.
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.

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.

Drove mine through 45cm flood with no issues, no recall either.
“shouldn’t drive it” - balderdash!
You know this guy is an EV zealot right?

All I can say is that this mechanic came highly recommended, having previously worked for a large new car dealership as their head mechanic for over a decade and now has had his own very busy workshop for the last 5 years.
The above said, the car dealer that I purchased the car off new wanted to replace the cylinder head, along with just about everything else, which as you know, wouldn't be required, but would cover their a$$es at my cost so to speak.
He sounds like a good choice. He, for sure, will know where to take the head.

A lathe? Nope, a milling machine/resurfacer. Lathes spin.
Sorry. Brain fade. Milling machine is what I have seen used in Thailand.

Would that be 1K baht ?
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.

Sorry for my mistake, I just phoned Susie Dent and she told me that your definition is also correct. Nicking, pilfering, half-inching are also acceptable. Cheers.
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.

Well the US 'lingo' is wrong. Size or weight reduction would be a more appropriate and understandable term.
Other factors contributing to 'shrinkage' is your willy (UK word) just after making love. 555
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.

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.

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.

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.
