  1. Actually a good idea. When I have similar items sent from the US, I have them sent via the postal service. No customs. Hopefully, Australia has a similar deal. With USPS I can have a box sent for about $70. Vitamins are so expensive in Thailand that I save money and get what I want. Try to avoid DHL, etc. You will get stuck will a bill.

  2. They hang people in Texas for any number of reasons, but even there I don't thinks you'll get offed for using non-real and authentic ingredients in the chiliwhistling.gif

    Sorry, I should have written, South Texas.

    Well, that explains it then.

    Might get hung there for using salsa made outside Texas

  3. Don't they hang people in Texas who put beans in chili. No wonder the guy came to Thailand. Probably on the run.

    They should. As a Texan, I cringe at the very thought, especially baked beans. That would just kill the taste. A few more jalapenos maybe

  4. Wheels...where to start

    Rims:

    1) The bolt pattern must match (they do) 6X139.7, they will physically slide on the hubs

    (exception to this is the stud or nut type, some hubs have holes, some have lugs)

    2) The offset is way off according to the data above

    3) Load rating for the weight of your car

    Tyres:

    1) Again load rating

    2) overall circumference of the tyre as you don't want it to rub on the body when turning

    It is possible to jack out the offset by the use of spacers, but they will be unhealthy for your wheels, axle and hubs, you may also need longer studs or bolts.

    Just because they will 'go' on your car doesn't mean they should be put on for safety reasons check it out. I have seen more than a few completely strip their mags by not doing their homework.

    Oz

    Sounds like sound advice. Thanks

  5. Thanks. I will check the site. Wheels are from a new Ford. Want to use on a 7 yo Vigo

    If I were you, if you can go along and see if they can physically fit.

    I am in Qatar. Will keep the wheels and try when I get back. Guy at the shop says they won't fit but it appears he may be wrong

  6. Baked beans sounds like the cooking style rather than type of beans.

    The dish is not baked.

    Beans are an option.

    Traditionally there are no beans.

    Versions here will have beans.

    +1. Beans do not belong in chili con carne. I do have to cook it differently in Thailand as my wife can't eat beef. Porks works ok
