Changing the wheels made a big difference to the handling on mine. The wheels are wider, I think they’re 8 1/2 as well, but I still use the stock tires but I no longer get stability control kicking in.

Not normally no, but for Callum, I make an exception, knowing how he loves EV's.

I've stayed there 3 times in the last year. It one of my favourite places too until I discovered An Bang.

In An Bang, I would stay at either the Shala Boutique, it's very cheap and good, I stayed there with 6 friends in March. Nice rooms with swimming pool but no restaurant. Or The Waterside, or the Shoreline both more expensive but boutique hotels. I stayed at The Waterside in March (cocktails in the pool, great breakfasts) Eat at least once at Mr. Hoa and go into Hoi An for an evening and eat at Morning Glory or Morning Glory Signature, she was a finalist on Masterchef. An Bang is very bohemian and eclectic, you'll see what I mean if you go.

Someone posted they had registered 11 here until the end of June.

Have you booked accomadation in Hoi An yet? where?

Look what I saw today, at first I thought it was an MG4, lights look copied from an MG4 and the split aerofoil above the rear window. I am amazed someone was stupid enough to buy one.

Toyota took a mis-step by going down NiMH batteries, none of what they learned is applicable to a BEV, they had little choice but to partner up with someone else.

You wouldn't have any of these problems if you owned an EV Callum (wink wink)

Toyota's new Hybrid engines are coming from BYD.

I had 2 great Indian's there. But Da Nang is dirty, commercialised and the street run off goes straight into the sea. I prefer bohemian and eclectic places.

My experience with Thai lawyers is that in most cases they don't know the law and thus far, in all cases, they cannot be trusted. I hope your lawyer did not use the word "mortgage" (in Thai obviously). I am not wrong btw, my business builds entire housing estates. There are ways to own land & houses legally, but "intention" is the issue. If your intention is to circumvent the land ownership law then it's not legal. If company ownership comes as a benefit to an unrelated intention, then it may be legal. Putting it another way, if you create a company to buy land, then it's illegal. If your company's intention is something else, and by way of delivering that something else it has to own land, that is different. Incidentally, you don't own the house because your building contracts, building permits, payments etc are in your name. You also have to have a contract with the land owner agreeing that you can build and will own the house. The concept in law, is that the land owner owns everything built on the land unless it is specified contractually. In any event, I think you need legal advice and I would take it from a different lawyer.

Da Nang is pretty horrible, some of Hoi An is very nice, particularly An Bang. I have been there 5 times in the last 8 months and I have already booked for next year. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Hoi An btw.

There are a few issues here. First, what is the value of your land? and how big is the mortgage? If she has significant equity in your land/house, the bank may insist it is sold and your loan would repaid to you and the bank would take what was left over. Assuming they were to pursue her for the debt. The other issue is "intention". If your intention in constructing this kind of arrangement was so you could circumvent the law and own the land/house then the whole agreement is illegal and your risk is to lose everything. If they start to look at her closely, they will want to see some repayments from her to you, I think you need some legal advice. There is another reason why I think you need legal advice, to offer a mortgage you have to have a licence, I hope your agreement couches it in words that mean you didn't need a licence.

Are you saying that is the only thing they translated to English, or is it their policy to translate everything?

how many of those trucks were EV’s? Nonsense, anyone intelligent would see it for what it is, a puff piece.

Allow me to correct my spelling. Or are the dilettantes cheering?

Or are the dilatant's cheering?

ExpatOilWorker and his YT guru when he discovered ICE engines are losing market share. (incidentally, that video is years old).

Is it available for the Seal?

Actually, I can tell you what these slight modifications are. They are what we in the software industry call "Vapourware".

Agreed, my special occasion is the 1st January each year, the gift being for all costs related to their education in the coming year. I might give them additional gifts on their graduation, birthdays and other occasions, though these would need careful thought as it's not as clear a case.

I agree most gifts should be made on a special occasion as you describe. The Thai tax code specifically lists a different situation and that is a gift under moral obligation. There is no expected timing on that. I have brought my daughters from 5 & 8 years old, clearly I have a moral obligation to educate them.

Interesting! The Seal has an LFP battery for it's 12v circuit, it should last many years.

Come on Transam, you know damn well they have only slight modifications. You don't seem able to tell us they are "significant" or can you? What are the modifications that make this anything other than a puff piece?
