    A lighter object, plowing into a heavy object, is quite different than a heavy object plowing into a lighter object.


    A heavy object, impacting a lighter one, is likely to propel that lighter object, causing a lessor impact. A lighter object, impacting a heavier object will be less likely to budge the latter, resulting in a much harder impact.  

    Thank you, that's interesting. The Boss car should have pushed the bike a long way at that speed, surely the bike tires would have been shredded/long gone. What do you believe the photo indicates, does it support the speed claims? Just interested. 

    Edit: it's been pointed out to me that the photo is just a mock-up of the event. Sorry for being dumb.  

  2. OK, listen to me. If the car had hit a stationary or slow moving bike at 177 kph the bike should have been dust. Even if the bike was moving forward at a normal road speed and the combined speed therefore reduced I still can't imagine this result at all. The car can not have been travelling at 177 kph. Impossible. 

     

    My car was ploughed into by a motorcycle taxi head on. I was stationary (or less than 10 kph). The bike was flying (at time of impact maybe reduced to 40 or 50bkph). 

     

    The bike slotted into my wing just like this, still standing and wedged in after the impact. The driver is fine now, by the way, thank god. 

     

    I dont think I need to say any more.

    mg5 isn't in the same class as the suzuki swift.  Compare it to the mg3. 

    Yes sorry, I have the MG3. Bought new in 2016 when the showroom didn't even have any in stock, I had to wait a couple of weeks I think. Apology for that, I was tired when I posted. ????

    Many Thais wear Union Jack T-shirts, doesn't mean they are British does it..?

    I have never seen a British lorry in LOS with the Union Jack on it, only Jap ones as fun.

    Your Chinese ride is advertising it as a British MG, read their ad pages ..

     

    Anyhooo, you ain't got yours yet to find out about faults....????

     

    But, I hope you thoroughly enjoy your new purchase....????

     

    I've driven an MG5 for years, one of the first in Hua Hin. Not one problem with it apart from the flexible sliding cover on the dash. The car panels are thicker than other comparable cars on the market, and doors shut with a satisfying clunk. So you're talking BS. When I shut the boot of the Suzuki effort (Swift?) it sounded and felt like pushing down the lid of a biscuit tin. I'll keep the MG thanks, even if it's not Western-made.

    not married, but mine ruined her perfect breasts, to wipe out my happy smile presumably,

    so there was eventually not strong enough incentive to put up with the downsides,

    i came to the conclusion im better off without sex and company,

    there isnt anyone qualified to pick up the slacks anyway

    Hm. I guess 'the slack' was what she was trying to avoid when she had the boob job. 

     

    But I agree with you (presumably): anything more then a mouthful is wasted.

    555 I have to say having been coming to Thailand since 1996, and having a McDonalds less than a mile away from my place, I've never, ever eaten a McDonalds in Thailand. I have enjoyed a few KFCs but now understand they only do the spicy version. Although I enjoy spicy food, KFC should be the original version only IMO.

    Really? KFC in Hua Hin sell original also, sometimes you have to wait a few minutes because it's not so popular with Thais but at least it will be very freshly cooked.

    Do you know Lazada belongs to Ali?

    Yes and completely irrelevant. Lazada online customer care is a higher standard by far. Do they say when you return an item because it's fake or faulty that you may have to pay the postage? No, but AliExpress do. Plus Lazada live online customer liaison. Plus to my mind more interest in monitoring the performance of their sellers. No comparison. 

  8. I would suggest that some products might be extremely good  copies made in the Far East. Actually I did buy an HXJS webcam through them last month which was clearly not an authentic product and returned it, but usually I find their sellers are OK. I bought a Logitech one from them after which is spot on. You pay peanuts and.... 

     

    But don't buy from AliExpress. They don't seem to have much wish to control the quality of their sellers. You may get sent a cardboard box with a pinhole in it. 

     

    I'm speaking from bitter recent experience. 

  9. And maybe you are misusing the word 'professional' as I already said. 

     

    Someone being paid 20 or even 50k here to off someone does not make them 'professional'. A goon with a gun is a goon with a gun. I don't accept your explanation of your comment.

     

    Silencers exist in Thailand and can be purchased by those who are involved in this trade at a high level. You might remember the horrific mall shooting of an infant a few months ago. Someone using their inside position to obtain one illegally. A pro would use one in a home shooting. So, not a pro then, just a thug with a handgun.

     

    To say there are not professional hitmen in Thailand is ludicrous (and a bit racist). 

     

    And I could shoot the pants off you with handguns, good luck with your other small arms, army man, not interested.

    Are you really pretending that you are an expert on murder for hire and hitman protocol.

     

    How very laughable indeed.

    No I'm telling you that I have shot many types of handguns, and know what is possible under different conditions. Are you OK with that? But also that your idea of what is a professional hitman seems quite juvenile (indeed your understanding of the word 'professional' seems completely lacking in any case). ????????????

    Using a revolver (No casings were found so i presume it was one)

    you obtain a very imprecise shooting, even at a short distance, except in the movies.

     

    I consider 4 in the target on 6 fired (Probably 2 bullets lost in the wall or the bed)

    a more than good result particularly in the dark.

     

    And you not stay at few centimeters from your target when you fire

    the closest you are, the more risk you have to be attacked and disarmed by your victim.

     

    Anyway i am not available to be hired.

    A professional hit using a revolver, you just get funnier! A 'pro' would be able to pick up 3 or 4 casings anyway; he's not panicking, he's a pro, right?). And the guy was asleep in bed, right? Otherwise a pro hitman would surely back off and bide his time. That's what professional means to me, and what you'd pay me for, not a panicky botched job (I'm not for hire either, BTW....) 

     

    In any case I've shot revolvers tapping pairs over 10 to 20 yards (much more distance than in a bedroom) with good grouping. I guess you've been shooting a 19th century unrifled treasure; nice to own but not for home defence... ????

    For me it looks like an hitman act

     

    4 bullets (1 in the forehead) to be sure the job is really done, the guy was probably

    in his bed sleeping, he hasn't even realised what happened before to be dead

     

    no any trace left behind (Except the size 10 flip flop, good luck with that)

    nobody has seen someone going in or out, all was perfectly executed in

    a minimum of time and with a lot of cold blood (No bad pun intented).

     

    Probably a long survey of the place before the act and

    the hitman knew the habits of the decesead, how to go into the house

    without doing any noise and how to go out quick, all of this in the night time.

     

    Maybe a gambling debt?

    Shot in the hip and arm. Yes, really professional.... ????

     

    Remind me never to hire you to bump off the old lady. 

  13. I don't have a 'contact'. And it doesn't matter what country you are in. I have a vanilla set top Android box I bought from a mall, and pay a UK company 70 quid a year for every Sky channel, every UK channel with catchup TV, every Premiership and Championship match of the season, many hundreds of other channels, Eurosport channels, Bein sport channels, US sports and news channels, over a thousand films including very latest and good copies, all major PPV sport broadcasts, box sets, etc. Was a doddle to set up (I'm very slightly techie but not much). 

     

    PS - whoever said MOBDRO is good needs their head tested. It's OK for free I suppose but pretty dire overall.
