As it was he just rode off down Thong Lo cursing "ach me poor wee motorbike she's nae but a month auld!"

If I sideswiped you my great bulk would leave more than that wee scratch. I wrote off a Ragtop XKR on my pushbike when T-Boned by the feker. I kid you not

[Ewaaaaan]

I think im the lardiest of the bunch but no fears, my silky smooth driving skills will outweigh any manboob ballast. Sparco booties at the ready.

[Ewaaaaan]

the last time i went karting we made a party out of it with beer, samba and burning animals. Are there facilities for festivities trackside here? And, are we allowed a two-wheeled showdown on our mopeds?

I just pinged him, i never realised it was an F1. Not agricultural enough for my fat paws. Now this is a different kettle of pirhanas

aaah the 360. It was demonised for its fat arse and "its not a drivers car, its too urban, not a real frarri" .... what a load of pish. When a 40k miler drops under 30K it will be a great daily runner if you live in blighty.

Silky smooth Scotsman? Surely such an anomaly cannot exist?

Yes thats true, ive never really been classed as smooth. "Ragged, sketchy, over enthusiastic," were all in the comments box from Knockhill race school. Poofs!

I hope Thai Health n Safety rules dont stop you using your Audrey Hepburn cigarette holder whilst driving the Kart

Can anyone from the PH community in Bangkok give an update on the situation there. Travelling to Krabi for CNY with the family from Sing. Assume all is fine there and FCO advice is still green. Is it a case of watch this space ?
Cheers

I was in Krabi a couple of weeks ago and there was nothing. Very chilled indeed. The only trouble i saw was when my alcoholic, chain smoking brother got trapped on a bus full of English and German backpackers

Anyone know where (and for how much) I can buy a drone with a good camera?
I was watching people taking photos of the protests with them yesterday and they look like awesome fun. Seems to be tons of them on Amazon etc but they won't usually post stuff here.

Geezer in the office next to me is an SME geek on these things. Various options available but he recons this is the best value for money in BKK. http://ardrone2.parrot.com/ (~12,000 THB) He found it in Udon Thani was .Life Aparently there is one in Central Department store and Siam Paragon

Apparently it can be subject to strong winds. He pays local kids to go hunting for it when it gets blown away apart from the time it hit the guy on a bike.

He is pretty serious about this stuff and is upgrading to this bad boy that " has a much better camera and can Pan Tilt" (mmmm nice)
http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-2-vision/
but its ~40,000 THB

He has some interesting "covert" footage on MP4

[Ewaaaaan]

He is able to fly the drone whilst riding his electric skateboard and drinking a can of Tiger.... I feel a challenge coming on.

[Ewaaaaan]

Its all quite over here munchkins.

Pop quiz. What is temporary import status and can it allow me to take a fire spitting jalopy in for three years and ship it out without tax?

but I am not 100% on that

you are correct. I had a nice chat with a tidy boiler at the ministry of backhanders and she confirmed. She did contradict herself a couple of times on how to get the cash back which raised some alarm bells but that may have been a fluster brought on by my dashingly good farang looks and moobs.

After cycling round the race track at Wat Kaeng my interest is re-kindled in getting a jallopy. It looks a complete hoonfest

A MK1 Esc with an SR20 donk. It looks relativly well sorted for 525K bhatt, I pinged the fella.

Anyone have spare garage space? Car trailer? towbar?

[Ewaaaaan]

I've been Tangoed it seems. The black ones were 5% more and to be honest i think the orange suits its bloated looks... i`ll be radging it round the homeland for the next two weeks. Anyone want a shipment of UK goodies brought back?

[Ewaaaaan]

staying in the frozen wastelands unfortunately. M1 coupe

[Ewaaaaan]

Good luck you bampot. Where you going to set up shop in Englandshire?

[Ewaaaaan]

[Ewaaaaan]

im back in bangers. I was in the western highlands. i forgot what great roads we had. I took Bruce out for a slide around.

[Ewaaaaan]
