This is our Honda car. Bought in 2002 it has a automatic transmission, and AC. Thats about all I know about it. We pay for 1st class insurance and regular maintance. Not a fancy car but it is rather practical here in Thailand.

My favorite mode of getting around. Well, actually I usually either my bike for beer runs or market trips. The big bike only has about 4,000 kilometres showing. You can see my LA bicyle (Carrefour special) in the background.

Used to see you (often) on a beer run to the shop on Soi E? or F? when I used to live on Soi D3.

Think I met you in that shop 2 or 3 years ago, but I live at the other end of the village now.

I drove for the first time in Thailand over the weekend.

No problems until I got within a couple of miles from home and had to suffer the Bangkok sign-posting. Grrrr....

One of these.

Boys Toys!!!

When I was about 12 I got to drive the combine machine once. Thought I was king of the world. Drove one of those giant cotton picking machines as well.

Like to be driving one of them when some dumb shit cuts me off in traffic.
