My wife likes to buy gold from Aurora. (Actually she likes to buy gold from anywhere - lol) We have had no issues selling gold back to them - but there were 2 occasions where it took them 24 hours to reimburse money to wifes bank account. This was apparently because everything had to be organised by head office - and we don't live in Bangkok. For variety and quality of product - Wife prefers 'Chin' gold

If this stalling event only happened on one occasion - and the car has been okay since then - I think you are worrying unnecessarily - possibly overreacting? Enjoy your new car.

I need a stronger lens for my right eye - but was unable to configure this with Zenni when I ordered through them. Have others managed to do this? Is there a work-around? - or am I just weird?

(Self) Righteous Brothers more like..lol

Too Much Information. ????

Not a Great Dane - apparently..

I know what you mean - here are our scooters

I have recently started using a VPN (and switched on ‘cleanweb’) specifically for this site. It works very well to stop pop-ups and ads. Hallelujah. However - many other sites I visit are slow to connect (or will not) - so I often have to pause the Surfing shark while I connect. A small price to pay IMO.

In Australia in the 70s we thought the Brits killed their industry by producing rubbish quality cars. We had Leyland and morris vehicles . They were absolute <deleted>. Marina, and the locally engineered P76 - absolute cr#p. I had a few British cars, triumph Herald - great to look at, but not a great driving experience (!) . Jensen interceptor - a brilliant car ruined by British electricals (Lucas) , & a Hillman Hunter Estate while working in the UK - more cr #p. The 79 3 door Range Rover I had was fun to drive -but crazy thirsty - but the torque body roll you got when you revved that insipid 3.5 V8 made you forgive it! The quality & reliability of the vehicles made in the UK in the 70s and 80s was abysmal - and that led to their demise. After this the UK car industry was more construction , not design.

IMO the car is no longer a 'classic' car after the conversion. It may be more user friendly, and 'modernised' - but it is no longer Original. The value in a Classic Car is its' originality - its Pedigree. I have looked at some Classics here in Thailand with a view to buying them - but then walked away after discovering the original engine has been replaced with a Toyota engine! If I opened the hood and saw an electric motor - I would run not walk!

and men... does this represent motorcycle abuse?

I do exactly the same thing - but have still had little response. (In saying that, I have sold 4 cars & 3 drones over the last 2 years - but I price fairly for a quick sale) Yes - resellers are a pain - and generally try to beat you down drastically on price. All I can say is that buying and selling of vehicles was much easier in my home country (Australia)

If I was looking for a small hatch now - Mazda 2 or 3 would be on the top of my list. I do not rate quality of Mitsubishi or Nissan - so agree with your wife there. Yaris is a bit tinny - and like you, I am no fan of CVT. We had a Honda HRV and the transmission was not impressive! I find Suzukis & MGs uninspiring and cheap feeling!

Yes - especially the tail light delete - to make other road users more attentive - moreso at night

You neglected to mention the mandatory removal of the 'uncool' mirrors...

I got no serious responses from FB marketplace or One2cars - eventually found a lucky buyer on Bahtsold. In my experience, private car sales by a non-Thai speaker can be more difficult here.

About 15ml overnight near Kanchanaburi. Epic lightning show at 1am.

I have heard that Pandas are not good at climbing.

We have 3BB & their streaming speeds are fine for youtube & Netflix - but we routinely have service interruptions once or twice weekly because of cable issues. When we move house we will change to AIS

<deleted>? WGAS?

and the RTP regularly perform random checks...

VERY graphic content! Bang!

There are butterflies there - but many species are seasonal. However what you are seeing is a worldwide phenomenon - where insect numbers are rapidly declining, due to injudicious insecticide use and more importantly habitat destruction. As a kid in my native Australia, I remember driving holidays where we would have to stop every few hours and clean the dead bugs off of the windscreen - that has not happened for nearly 30 years there now. The insect biomass is reducing annually - and when they are gone - we will be too!

Sold - but definitely NO thanks to this Forum. All that is here is crickets ???????????? Switch off the lights after you leave please.

OK. Bump. I am tired of this car taking up space under my carport - I am now accepting 395,000 Baht - or very near offer. As an aside - AN car classifieds are not very successful!! I see many Ads with many views - but no replies. Too much pecuniary embarrassment here I fear..
