Thai tradition, hah. It's Thai tradition to take care of their elderly parents, my wife's hi-so sisters who got their degrees financed by mum and dad give absolutely sod all to widowed mum.

Yep, if you look far and wide there will always be exceptions. What a pair of complete bitches not to look after their own mother.

And when l fume at the mrs about it, response, it's all OK, no problem.

BAHHHH. .

That really is a good deal/buy.

It's all about cash. If there is a never ending flow of cash then being frugal goes out the window. Think you might be the problem here. If one has to watch the pennies then GREAT care will be taken by your crew and waste not.

Just happened yesterday to go to the wrong website..

So looked anyway, Honda Motorbikes UK

The Honda PCX is 115,000 baht in the UK !! [70,000 here] + that is one of the cheapest 125 scooter by Honda in the UK..

The New Honda CBR 125 is 149,000 baht [100,000 here for the CBR 150]

The New Honda CBR 250 is 198,000 baht [120,000 here]

So a lot of tax added..?

Edit:

Includes 12 months Road Tax, plus 2 years manufacturers warranty and AA cover, on UK website, [here 3 to 5 years depends on model]

Bikes lower in price here cos production costs are lower etc,and also taxes as it's the masses main transport mode. Now look at the price of a Merc in UK and what it will cost in LOS, perhaps double..

When you consider the world is meant to be a huge free market to help countries prosper l feel that Thailand really is lagging behind with their import policies. They want it all one way.

Imagine if UK or any country wacked 80% on LOS rice or chicken imports, or motors made in LOS and exported to neighbouring countries those countries wacked on 80% tax, who would be in trouble.

Personally l would go the ZZ383 Chevy crate engine route, 6 litre, 425hp in a small package. .

RWD in Yaris has been done, but it's massive job with tons of custom fab work to convert it to North-South and RWD. Japan market has a 4WD Yaris which can help with some parts, but the stock 4WD rear diff won't cope.

My personal choice of engine if going V8 would be the Hartley H-1, to keep the overall weight balance of the car. Could even be installed transverse with some imagination and fab work.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, interesting.

Hello there.

I don't want to lend it out sorry.

But if you want me to buy you one i can sort it out for you. It will be around 2200 baht with post.

PM me if you want one.

Mark.

10 out of 10, the forum works.

Sorry OP, but one thing leads to another. For sure your manhood will be in a glass jar in the distant future.

Pickled manhood ..thats a new one ..will have look at home to see if i got a spare jar

You never know what's around the corner eh taff.

Always sleep with one eye open me . dont mind whats around the corner TS....its brick walls i dont like

MRO - got it. thanks! I'll got the HO tomorrow morning to ask and perhaps in the evening get a thai speaking colleague to help me bargain.

so i guess its (in order of importance):

1. 1st yr insurance
2. window tint - 3M
3. floor mat
4. anti rust
5. weather shield
6. mud guard

unlikely to get but no harm asking:

1. projector light
2. leather seats

anything else i've missed

Sounds like a plan

Only point of note is, if you were thinking about adding a bodykit (4 pc skirts) in the future, the mud guards will become throw-aways e.g.

Tyres a bit on the small side, 205 /45 17's look better. :lol:

" Phutoie2 " whopps yeah your sooooo right, who can I blame, I know !!! it's that Chang again. :lol: side view.

Camera broken down when taking picture of width of tyre with steering full lock, I take the camera to Toyota for fixing.

Jelly mould.

This the less than 300cc Honda. Cool eh.

I thought your preferred targets were normally on bicycles?

The cow WAS riding a bike.

The luxury car dealer in Pattaya (Sukhumvit Rd) has a white Chrysler 300 in the showroom at the moment.

oooooh, could be a Hemi V8.

more likely a 2,7 benz diesel, to escape 3,0/220hp excsie tax

Probably.

My aunt in USA looked at a Chrysler Crossfire, which l like, to be told it had a Merc V6 in it.

Thats about it. If it is in the sun, cover the tyres with something.

Certainly inefficient. All departments are so helpful except this. Even if there are many chicken case around, they should at least know which are more serious crime. Anybody know is there a time frame for their investigation. They can drag the case but cannot eliminate it. What happened so far , we had communicate with Ministry of Social Development and Human Security . I consulted the lawyer, a police officer in bangkok, informed the MSDH department and emailed the Mayor for help. Next time i visit the police post ,best i bring along a spy cam to film down what they had to say and their attitude.But Camerata u definitely had a calm mind. I console my wife that if corruption really going on, let the perpetrator pay until he broke. I will alway be waiting for him. We had already took the wrong path, now we must cope and plan ahead.

10 out of 10. Good luck AND the end result will protect other kids.

Wait for Transam to come on, he may well be able to help.

Heaven talk .

They are about in LOS. Seen them, remnants of the Vietnam stuff left behind. Be patient here and you could be lucky.

As the guys say, put your foot down and the engine rattles, especially if your in too high a gear. Really bad fuel will pink every time you accelerate until your at your cruise speed.

If there is no difference in the sounds coming from under the hood then don't worry about the lower octane.

Cows have the right of way in Thailand, regardless. Lucky the owner did not ask for 25,000 baht for the ground round.

BUT, it should have had it's lights on eh.

Many of the members here on TV have a good insight into Thai law.

Surely there must be a posibility for a civil law suit?

Or the lawyer can put some pressure on the Police by contacting the news papers and talk about how the police are stalling this amazing case.

Seems in LOS Thais are afraid of upsetting the apple kart, getting involved, in case they get hassle. Remember we talked about Thais not helping road traffic accident victims, same reason, don't want to get roped into anything..

When l go to play snooker, we have to have a private room to play cos the main table area is like being at a foot ball match.
