Re: Champion's League 23/24

Both City and Arsenal get dumped out of the Champions League - on chances City should have won by a landslide but ended up losing in a penalty shootout. The Arsenal game was closer although they still had chances to win but didn’t take them. Let’s see if/how these results affect the run in to the Pr...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

^It would make more sense to me if it was a plug in hybrid with a realistic electric driving range, so you could use it for local driving as an ev and long range as a petrol car but the one I saw wasn't, it was just a hybrid. I don’t know whether Nissan sell a hybrid Kicks, but the e-power version ...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

In the UK you can buy either a Nissan X-Trail or Qashqai with this technology - 100% electric drive but with a combustion engine to feed the battery/motor - range anxiety no longer an issue!!

Re: Buying a new Forza or Xmax

I was thinking the same about phones and distractions, I can understand the benefits of a map if you’re going somewhere you don’t know - of course everyone to themselves but it looks like an unnecessary potential hazard to me.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

For the price it’s a lot of car for the money but they also do a single motor with about 300 hp - performance is still good but cheaper to buy?

Re: Dubai airport (DXB) flooded

These events whilst fairly rare are not unique. I’ve checked the weather forecast and it’s looking dry for the foreseeable future so it’s unlikely to have any lasting impact. I used to work in the region and witnessed some fairly drastic storms, but these were normally in November or December so no ...

Re: Thai police require stricter foreigner screening and monthly case reports

Regarding the comment above about those doing the looking are probably involved as in “Bent Coppers in the BBC’s Line of Duty”, I’ve been watching a series of the same name on Amazon Prime which investigated corruption within the Met Police in the 90’s - the synopsis of which is where’s there’s crim...

Re: Premier League 2023-24

I watched the YouTube highlights of the Chelsea game this morning and what struck me as both funny and sad was the group of Chelsea players almost coming to blows over who was going to take the penalty - what a disgrace!!

Re: Buying a new Forza or Xmax

The only small contribution I can make is have you tried the main Honda dealer in Cha Am - I haven’t been recently but they always seemed to have one or two Forza’s on display? Regarding the PCX and NMax, I bought my wife a PCX about 5 years ago but looked at the NMax, but decided the Honda was a be...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Yes, I'm sure the UK will be at the rear of this transport revolution but I think Thailand will rapidly follow China in going electric and they're already heading towards 50% sales. I was recently reading that Hyundai has just mothballed a petrol car production facility in China that was only seven...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

A sign of a drop in the EV market, or a sign that (government subsidised) Chinese EV producers have cornered the market? Sales in the UK are down overall and for good reason - an incredibly poor infrastructure. Despite the hype, it's similar in the majority of other countries outside the cities (Ch...
