If you still have the logbook then you can still tax and insure it and it can remain in anybodys name, just change the locks.

Having just bought a new computer from a shop in pattaya, I now have a problem with the message you have a counterfeit copy of windows, the shop say's don't worry it will update the same but that's not the end of it, is it ? Is window's going to shut it down ?

Thanks for that, completion date 2009, better get a Taxi then.

A friend of mine has asked me if there is a train into Bangkok from the new airport, I said I don't know but I know people who will, is there or not ? Thank's for any reply's.

I find this a very interesting topic, reading your comments only confirms to me that the fun days of motoring are over, sure if you have big bucks you can still buy a musle car with a big block but musle cars and big blocks for the multitude, those days have gone for ever, thats why unfortunatly I had to vote Turbo, years ago I wouldent have been seen dead in a diesel, for me it had to be a big block, I used to have a Lyncoln continental mk4, 460ci, also a Cadilac elderado 501ci, same as Boss Hogg on dukes of Hazard, but to be honest there's just nothing to take there place, and there hasent been for years, yes its great to be driving round in a firebird 400 but its a 30+ year old car ! to proove theres nothing to take there place just look at latest block buster moovies, why are many of the main charictors driving round in 30 year old cars ?

Thanks teej, I will start looking around for my best option.

There was one for sale in a garage on the way back into pattaya from Bang saray, it was an orange one, I took notice of it as it was practicly rust free, I seem to remember another one in the same road as the blind begger jomptien, it was oridgenal green with the crome trim and there was other cars in the garage from that time zone, ( triumph spitfire ) comming up from the blind begger it was a dusty garage on the left just before sukhumvit road, can look if it's still there if you want.

I quite like this idear of fitting an ipod in my pickup, what sort of amp do you need as the ipod cannot be connected directly to your big speakers.

The dark black tint used on some cars is cosmetic only, sure it looks good but infact being black it actualy heats up your interia, and night driving, forget it, it's best left for the likes of night rider and the A team.

Terdsak is right car's in general are so bledy expencive in this country we're all scared to scratch them, shame as I used to love off roading too but that was in a cheep range rover, not much chance of that here, I do some (mild) off roading tho, just go looking up dusty road's theres always somewhere but be very careful going alone, if you do get stuck it can be very nasty in this heat !

Same here I would willingly change my Mitsubishi grandis manual gearbox for an automatic and like you would pay for the exchange of both gearboxes, the thought of changing an auto for manual turn's my stomuck !

Yes thats the only way I guess, Ive made a half hearted try around here ( pattaya ) but they tell me those big tyres come from an off road shop in Kantanaburi ? the same place they modify the Toyota hilux to surf suspension, I have heard of the shop but it seem's a long way for some tyres ! Anyway thanks for your replys and if anybody knows a shop just round the corner let me know.

Anybody know where I can buy tyres size 33x12.50x15 ?

Easy things to buy but as hard as hel_l to sell. what their worth on paper and in the pub is nothing like what you get !

Ive seen a few 4 wheel drive convoys driving around pattaya over the years but have no experiance of going to an event here, Has anyone been to one ?

Shame for those that have black fortuners but it seems driving one you get the reputation of being an ######, especialy round pattaya an phuket, problem I think is the colour choice is rubbish, infact not just fortuners but most of the cars, why is there so many silver car's in Thailand when everybody you talk to says they never wanted silver but it's all there was ?

I would say your taking on a lot of work and expence for little gain, Ive done these sort of thing's in the past but looking back on it your better off just changing the car !

Just like a person that has a good idear for a buissines, tell's a few people about it and before they even get chance to get the idear going there's people doing it everywhere !

Yeah why tell the world ? Having been here for many years I feel we're killing the goose that laid the golden egg, Im talking about year's ago it was only the farang that had the gut's to leave their country and go off to start a new life in a strange land that came here, we knew next to nothing and had to fend for ourselves the best we could, because of this we we're in a minority, these day's with the formation of the ex pat's club and their website they are encoraging people by the thousand's to re locate here, the result's are increased prices everywere, and nowhere to park your car !

Most of the farang couples I know have a problem with the wife being jelous of the attention the husband gets from the girls, they try their best to hide it in public but they seperate in the end, some farang women stick to their husbands like glue giving them no time alone but that too is counter productive, taking coal to newcastle, is a good English expression.

Yeah but you don't have to be driving one to get excited, it's not very nice to know that you might be driving your car what ever it is with a perfect stering box only to be hit head on by some poor bloke comming from the other way who had a dodgey stering box !

One thing that hasen't been mentioned as far as I can see is the obseen wealth many people have these day's, with bank account's bursting at the seem's the money ( wasted ) as I see it is nothing to them, Their a different breed but their on the increase, Amused to death.

The media will have to find someone els as their accidental suicide this week !

You'll know if it's termites quick enouth, the'll be nothing left of it in no time, I doubt if it is termite's as the other person said, probably just a beatle, Termite's are a real problem, I am slowly replacing all the wood in my house with plastic, termites can eat a wooden roof beam in a couple of month's or less!

Haplopelma Minax, Black Tarantula, or Bird eating spider of Thailand, a fully grown female can reach 10cm, poisonus but not very strong, they can cause a bad reaction in some people especialy children, There quite common Ive seen quite a few myself over the years but the good new's is they much sooner live out in your garden than in your house, There are many other much smaller poisonus spider's here, even those small jumping spider's bite, Snake's is the other problem, they will come in your home, especialy in the rain season, unless you know what your doing don't aproach one in your home, get someone to keep an eye on it and go and call a Thai man, they are well used to them !
