  1. I had braces as a teenager, because that was the norm then - ie wait until your facial bones stop growing, and then correct the misaligned or overcrowded teeth. I had them from the age of 14 until I was 17. No problems , 63 now, and they still look the same. (ok, maybe a bit more worn out!). My Thai wife had a minor issue with protruding upper teeth and was quite self conscious about it. She had braces for 3 years to correct this, in her early 30s. The end result was very good, but she was still required to wear a 'retainer plate' at night after the braces were removed. She lost the plate and we had another made (5K!) - and after 5 days (the time to order and receive retainer)- her teeth had moved so much that it no longer fit! - as WBG mentioned above. She now has a different retainer that she wears most nights, is comfortable for her, and her teeth still look great!
  2. For 35 years I carried Ketamine with me in my work vehicles. I used it for horse anaesthesia. never once did I think - 'I should try some of this' seems I missed out big time , 555 work party every day...
  3. Gone a long time ago IMO...
  4. or alternatively 196500377.webm
  5. When outdoors we just use normal pedestal fans - moving air is better than nothing! - and it reduces mosquito worry as well.
  6. don't forget the dogs....lol
  7. You are right on the money there! The Ford IS like a car , the Toyota is a light truck. But - I bought my Father in law an XLT Supercab Ranger in 2019, we sold it after 4 years, because he hardly used it (he thought it was too special to drive as his normal car!) - only 7000ks on it. We lost 50% on it... However , I buy cars to enjoy now - not to make or save money later!
  8. Yep. The old slow one! Same donk as the wildtrak. I get my speed thrills from my big bikes now , and memories of my Shelby Super snake I had in Oz before I moved here.
  9. I had a Raptor - but changed it for another Wildtrak. The added comfort , and the fact that I don't do a lot of Baja racing were the main reasons. If I want to drive fast - I prefer to drive a fast car or motorbike - rather than a light truck.
  10. When I do more than 100,000 k per year , I need to change my vehicles - for reliability & 'modernisation' - and because I can. BTW. 'fourth' not 'forth'. Also I am not - and never have been - a Toyota fanboy.
  11. The Toyota will definitely give you better resale value - if that is a concern. The Toyota drives and feels like a truck - because it is. The Ford is a more comfortable and civilised vehicle - much easier to live with. I have driven both. Spoiler alert… I am currently driving my fourth Ranger variant..
  12. Some of the FB stock may be old stock. If you buy online , you will still need to pay for fitting and balancing - @ about 2-300 baht per wheel. B Quik etc are convenient - but definitely not cheap. good deals can be found from reputable sellers on Lazada or Shopee - just make sure to check the sellers ratings…
  13. You are another new poster? One of the best wind-ups I have seen for a long time.... You simply have no idea! LL is an expert on absolutely everything.
  14. I bought my genuine Rolex Date just at MBK last week. 2000 Baht. So probably no real problem wearing it around Bangkok...
  15. Great explanation. In my case , I am a fairly hard driver, so I tend to wear the shoulders of my front wheels, so I rotate f-r every 10,000 k. The best tyres should be on the steering (ie front) wheels.
  16. I thought that BYD were going to 'take over' the now defunct Chevrolet factories and showrooms.
  17. No. Mitsubishi Electric produces air conditioners & home appliances.
  18. Not sure what you are talking about here? Subaru, Suzuki & Mitsubishi do not produce any 'big smoky V8'....
  19. What a loser! Still wearing the same singlet he got when he was 8 years old!
  20. Yes. If I remember correctly Covid19 became much more dangerous after midnight. apparently....
  21. This 'first Bird Flu victim' was already a time bomb. tick , tick , tick .... boom
  22. giving a location might help!
  23. I had the previous model 2.0 diesel raptor - just not enough ponies! Eventually swapped it for a current model Wildtrak - same same, but different. As Ralf001 said, the V6 Raptor with a manual transmission would be awesome 😎
  24. Start a “Go Fund Me”?
