Second hand Range Rovers/Freelanders are now going fairly cheaply over here (for a few thousand quid each)and wiffee got this idea of hiding one or 2 in the back corners of a container if and when we ever get up and go.

Figures that they can be classified as farming items and since we got 6 cows and live in a remote part of the bonnies in the Mai they in elffect become essential tools.

...and shes serious....me...Mai K jai....

No customs official IMO will let you bring a couple of Rangies over as 'farming items.' And if you are allowed to bring them in somehow (and actually take posession of them (another probably-notter), then you will never be able to get them registered...

But more power to you if you can do it, I love Rangies, the more the better - we need to class-up the roads a bit, too many Fortuners, too little class...

Maigo6, you can now start your rabid defense of your Fortuner which you showed in the XC90 thread. Jeez, I know (and now everybody knows, since they've heard it many times from you) that for 3 years it's served you very well and had no problems and for 1.2 million you can't blah blah blah blah..... but at the end of the day, no matter how much you love it and defend it - tis still just a Fortuner, the oversized-beast of the masses, the character-less hunk of metal eyesore (thin metal mind you) on the roads... but defend on!!! Justify your choice, over and over and over and over..... whatever makes you feel better....

Absolutely correct!

how do you post pics?

you can upload them to a site hosting pics such as http://imageshack.us/ and then paste the links here....

would love to see all those rides!

I’ve always thought about, and for the Thais returning back after a few years out of the country. Imo I think a V12 engine and just build the rest up here ( crappy street performance parts n some still good body or fake lambo body). If can do that give me a holla I know a guy who works on jet engines for the air force with to much free time on hes hands and a car is a walk in the park. still perving on the GT and all the imports on ratchada RD.

Two years ago I drove my Thai Registered car from Bangkok to Singapore and back. The border crossings were very very simple (Thai/Malaysia & Malaysia/Singapore).

The Thai Transport Div (near Mo Chit) issued me a letter stating I owned the car (in English) along with the English translation of my Thai license plate. That along with an international drivers license was all I needed as far as paperwork was concerned.

At the Malaysia border, you have to buy a Circulation Permit & Insurance just after the Malay border checkpoint. Good for 30 days I think.

Into Singapore, at the border crossing you pay for a temporary entry permit and they also register your car in the toll road system. What's really cool about Singapore, is that you can drive all over and they take photos of your license plate when you are in/passing a toll area (e.g. CBD). Then when you try to leave Singapore, they tell you how much you have to pay. The Singapore customs lady said she sees a couple cars a month from Thailand.

I'd like to do the whole thing again on my motorcycle. The roads/conditions for cycles are way better in Malaysia and Singapore than Thailand.
