Don't read his response that way, read it as him summarizing and assuming that everyone here to this point understands that the aspect ratio must be changed accordingly to accommodate the larger rims and maintain something close to original diameter, not even sure if a larger rim is even available in the same width as an OEM rim when you step up to a larger diameter of that amount..

Seems he's just saying that regardless of diameter and including width, stock brakes can more than accommodate that increase in grip and rolling resistance without an entire brake system upgrade.

When a motor is given larger rims the norm is to reduce side wall height to bring the total circumference near stock. On a Vigo when Toyota changed from 16 to 17 inch they used the same size tyre but used a 65 profile instead of a 70, this provided virtually the same rolling circumference.

Where does ''beautiful'' fit in here ?.

Well, at least their penises aren't showing.

Have a look at the Trailblazer thread this is the pickup based SUV with the most advanced suspension available at the moment.

The new Toyota Truck has DIAMOND suspension, beat that. ...........

transam,if you were the owner of the new Isuzu...or Mazda...or Ranger...and your daughter just bought the Trailblazer...how would this change the contest of your post...just wander ...

I know I would, LOOK, my local hotel.

Hey! Things are looking up. My missus just peeped over my shoulder as I was reading this post.

“Who sexy ladies?” she asked.

“Oh, just girls down the soi.

“Really? Well ask them round.”

They could not defuse it, so they blew it up and made a mess of it.

Yep OP, you must get out more in Isaan to ''try'' and meet our Isaan ladies.

Internet goody pics are not good for the 'ol ticker.

Transam, if on one of my unaccompanied trips to Ubon, I came back to the hotel to find them awaiting, think the blood would leave my brain to other parts and I my have a ticker problem. Jim

That's not the Pardang across the road from the wrong way for sure. Jim

As I recall, there was some doubt as to the girls actual age, 16 or 17, a point which seems to have been overlooked. The point being that it was reported that she had recently returned from America (the length of stay was never mentioned as I remember) where it is POSSIBLE that she gained a legal U.S. drivers licence. I have no wish to try to make her actions more acceptable, but just possible that she was not driving illegally. Also, does anyone actually know who she was texting? Requesting advice maybe? How would you deal with the situation if it was YOUR daughter?......please be honest!

We had a real belly washer today, and there's another angry cloud rumbling to the south right now.

But it had been quite a while since the last one.

gully washer???

If I lived in the US (as an example) where firearms are freely available and a constitutional right, I can honestly say I would be in a prison somewhere doing life.Without doubt there have been several occasions over the years,when if to hand, I would have used one and killed someone.

Personally I am glad they are not readily available, and like drugs I just steer clear of them as I am aware of the dangers and possible outcome and I am well aware of my own capabilities in certain circumstances so choose to not let it even be a possibility.

So Sid, your turn for Tea, make mine strong and dont forget the Custard creams.

Don't know for sure but I think Thailand has more liberal gun laws than the USA. Do you live in Thailand?

I live in Thailand and I have never noticed them selling guns in Big C Xtra or anywhere else for that matter, for that reason alone I would quickly make an assumption that gun laws are probably not as liberal as they are in the US,,,,,,,can I have a lettuce a box of teabags and an M16 please!!

Thought it was a Doner Kebab thingy.

OP, it's all normal, forget it .

I was with the mrs at the coach station, she was going to BKK to see her daughter, lady came up to the mrs and chatted, l said, what did she want ?

She wanted to know how much you gave me per month. ..............................

I wonder why the hi-so people act as if they can get away with anything. Because they can?

A suspended sentence. Forty eight hours of community service. Outrageous and disgusting, even for Thailand's judicial system! Jail time and many millions of baht in compensation was a realististic sentence.

Yes, because they can . . . as has been shown over and over again. "Hi-so" Thai's, those that are better off, politicians, government officials, police etc etc . . . all can do whatever they want to do. That's what "privelege" has been and still is all about it here in the LoS.

Until such time as the rest of the population in Thailand get off their arse's and choose to do something about it, people will continue to get walked over, get taken advantage of, screwed left, right and centre, and nothing will change.

dam_n, I'm getting cynical in my old age! lol

BUT, it's the way it is. I/we, do not know what goes on behind the scenes. BUT, l have a good idea.

Haven't heard of a deposit. It's carried to the house on a platter during the wedding and then checked for validity and amount by the elders. A one time payment. If there are arrengements to get it back, they aren't a part of the ritual.

Half of the sinsod is given upon engagement. Its given upon u mun. Not really something commoners do nowadays. Its more common with the dara/ Hiso/ elites.

Oh ok, so a down payment, Is there a return policy too, in case the goods aren't what is promised ?

It does grow on you.

The roads have no foundation, just compressed soil .

They forgot to mention that there was a collection hat on the floor. [deleted] ................................

^ At least the record's been set straight now..

Is Thailand becoming a nanny state like our home countries? Just more laws and regulations everywhere. Taxes on booze, etc.

I'm thinking more and more it's time to head off to Cambodia or somewhere else.
