  1. Thanks for the directions, should be easy to find.....unless they moved.

    We have a 42" plasma around a year old that has shat itself.....ploblem is cannot find warranty or receipt now....bugger.

  2. I want to go through Indo, especially bali and then to Kupang. we need to end up in Darwin in Oz.

    Many reports seem to ship from Jakarta or singapore to Perth....so this way we are not getting to where we want to go, nor via the route we want.

    What is Ro Ro exactly ? presume a ferry....do you stay aboard or fly seperate and where in Oz does it land ?

    Like i said, the Indo ferries do worry me. Kids will be with us and we have new proper fitting life jackets for them anyway. might end up flying each leg and shipping the car between each island.

  3. Having a quick scan through that website...seems they are planning, or have driven through China.

    This is something I wanted to do, but was discouraged by it because of the enormous problems and the associated requirement of needing a guide with you or following/leading you in another vehicle at all times.

    I wanted to drive from Los to Mongolia and back.

  4. Very good thanks.

    I shall be going alone and my thai sucks, so why I wanted directions now.

    It is for a plasma telly, not phone, so hope this is a general service centre and not just for phones ?

  5. Is indeed possible, but you'll need to figure out the route you are going to take. Most head down to Malaysia, ship their car over to Sumatra and then island hop down to Dili.

    There, you need to put your ship on a weekly transport to Darwin. When you get to Darwin expect to pay a fair wad of cash to have your car stripped and cleaned by customs, who will be looking to get rid of any potential agricutural threat.

    Add to that, if you are taking your car to Australia permemanently, you'll need to clear it with the RTA in the state you'll finally be residing in, and have to pay 10% GST on the purchase price of your car at the time you bought it.

    Looking to do all this myself one day, taking a fortuna built in Thailand down to OZ tariff free under the Thai OZ FTA. Still will have to cop the GST and customs cleaning charges though.

    excellent.

    I am starting to gather all the info required and was looking to ship to Darwin out of Kupang if possible.

    Do you know how much and the timeframe for the customs cleaning charges. I read somewhere it was $600....which is not so bad...well it is for a clean, but the problem seemed to be it can take up to a month for them to do it. I do not want to be sitting around wasting a month just waiting for that.

    We would be driving south from Darwin and then either return to Darwin, or ship it back to Los via Darwin or somewhere on the northern east coast...cairns if possible.

    Looking at 3 months to do it all and return at the middle of this year, but possibly delayed until same time next year.

    I saw a pommy chick driving a vw bug from england to oz on highway 2 a couple of months ago.

    Also many travel companies do the overland trip from UK to Oz, so sure is done frequently, but now I am looking for some first hand experience and costs from anyone that may know it.

    One worry is the ferries in Indo.

    The second is driving to Malaysia.....although I think you can bypass the troubled southern regions and enter just south of Phuket....anyone know ?

    Cheers for the website Rob

  6. I had to read this one to see if you are serious. The sad part about it, it seems you are.

    really...may I ask what is SAD about it ?

    Seems from such comment you have not much inclination for anything other than a taxi ride up and down sukhumvit.

  7. you were legless and cannot even remember which shop it was.....perhaps you ate the end piece on your way home and forgot that also ?

    or maybe you loaned it to a ladyboy on the corner ?

  8. I have a trusted lawyer in my home country to administer my estate....which includes making decisions on expenditure when and as required. My will allowed for some dispursement at time of death along with other directions.

    This was made some time ago and needs ammendement now more along the lines mentioned here, particulalry now as we have some thai based assets since the will was made.

  9. Anyone know where samsung office is in korat and can provide a map to get there ?

    tried their site....cannot get it in english, cannot find email address either.

    Google is not my friend.

  10. Can anyone who has first class insurnace please post how much they pay and what it covers....also company name and number if ok.

    Company we are with just contacted for renewal and quoted a ridiculous price.

    For a toyota vigo 4wd if makes any diff here.

  11. Yes...I just posted this because I wanted to complain about a fat guy.

    I saws what I saws and I did not like it.....simple really.

    If you support it...good for you.

    Maybe one of you are him ?

    Hope you are, maybe you will wake up to what you are doing to your kids.

    The sheepish look around and the face of your older son and his reaction to you, told volumes about you.

    Guess you have 2 options....you could learn to control yourself with your kids before they really hate you forever, or you could sit down and eat some more and more and more until you cannot move and then they will run rings around your fat ass.

  12. The children ran into the centre playing and tassling with each other....quite happy with each other the 2 younger ones were...then pops screamed at them for enjoying themselves.

    No light sockets, no knives involved.

    The guy was obese....obviously cannot or does not care to take care of himself to look that way.

    The yelling in public like that, the scared look on the kids faces and the absolute petrified look on the older kids face and body language tell a lot of what goes on in that family.

    But hey, if you support it, then so be it. it takes all sorts to make up the world, that includes child beaters unfortunately. Your support goes a long way in giving an impression of yourself.

  13. Early days yet (only 2 December) but you so far lead the race for the "Troll of the Month" award, in my book at least.

    You must have a pretty thick book.

    If you think the way these children were treated in public is ok.....then lets hope you do not have kids.

    Treated this way in public quite possibly means worse behind closed doors.

    I simply look at the difference between his sons attitude to him and mine to me....chalk and cheese.

  14. I'm trying to work out what annoyed Mr Wiggle the most. Was it that fact that he was overweight or was it because he yelled at his children?

    He's certainly guilty of a crime, as you say; "So he simply yelled at them some more, but looks like he wanted to slap them." Well knowing that we should arrange a witch hunt, track this beast down and administer some vigilante justice, who's up for cutting off his balls? :)

    Glad you see thinmgs my way.
