if you're a BMW lover this pic should make you sick to your stomach Let's see who figures out P.S. it's not the Turbo

I may be wrong but I think you can't combine the insurance of both you and wife as the insurance is from your company. A C-section in a private hospital will cost close to 200K if everything goes well. I had an insurance for 200K but had to pay 100K out of the pocket for a ~180K bill. So keep that in mind and better check with the insurance company. If I were you, I'll look into getting a personal loan for about 500K and getting on old car (may be a corolla DX). Just my 2c

cars with birth defects. I like that term

My friend has a leaf and loves it. Says it costs about 5 rupees per km for electricity.

me too.............. and btw I don't think the plate on it was a coincidence

I know a guy who has one(tech guy). He's a one who does not like fuel burning cars and loves his leaf though I can't swallow the idea of living with a car with such a limited rage. He says it can do about 120km on a full charge and says it costs either 3 or 5 Rupees (cannot remeber exactly) per 1 km to run. Never got to ride in it yet but he says it's got a damn good accelaration.

I'll ask him what happened to it when I get a chance again. I posted the same pics to a abandoned cars thread some time back when the car was there. If you had asked me then I could have got some info

So is this one of them ? -- was gathering dust at my mech's for sometime, but haven't seen lately

If you suspect the tire and have no other way to test, have a friend watch your tire from another car as you travel at 25 - 30 if there's an issue he'll be able to see the wheel wobbling/jumping... That's how I accidentally noticed a bad tire on my friend's car as he overtook me on E01, until then he'd thought that the vibration was normal in his car at that speed.

I got a pair of used Japanese denso/toyota ones from Delkanda for 1000/= sounds pretty nice too.

Just my 2c on the brake pads, FBL is the better brand and the FBK is the cheaper one. But even the FBL creates the dust on rims issue only the genuine ones solved it for me.

I think they do have photographic evidence. I once had a chat with a senior police guy in the highway police. So naturally I asked him if they catch speeders. He said that the device they use takes a photo of the vehicle along with the speed / date/time. But according to him it's not shown to us. It's only shown to the court if the driver refuses that he was going over the limit and did not agree to the spot fine. Anyway if you've seen cops in highway they usually hold the device close to the eye like a camera unlike the regular cops who hold it like a hand gun.

worst shipping company ever.. if their air freight estimates are anything to go by better avoid them. for air freight they say 8 - 11 days and it usually takes about 2 months to get the item.

about 3 months now. The other option for me was to get a recon radiator for 22,000 or a copper tank for 8000 but I got the plastic one instead of the copper coz the engine bay looks original with it.

I replaced the top plastic tank with another plastic tank from radiator house and so far I'm happy with the result. Originally they quoted something like 8500 but was able to negotiate it for 7500. They say so far they haven't had any complaints about the quality of the replacement tanks.

thanks mate

Is that road carpeted from Ginigathhena to Gampola ?

Thanks a lot.. guess I'll be looking at alternative routes then

The costliest item I got via ebay was an oscilloscope worth about 50k. It got stopped by the customs and I was extra nice to customs guy saying all sorts of things like it's for education purposes etc.. so he put the values as 10,000 and taxed me for Rs.1600. One advice is if it got stopped and you received the forms via the mail don't state the value of the item in the pink form. If you do that the customs will have to charge you the full amount. Be nice to the customs officer and let him fill that

The closest route to Kandy from where I live is via Awissawella -> Karawanella -> Galigamuwa -> to Kandy road. But a few months ago the road from Awissawella was under construction and was in a bad condition. Does anyone know if the road works are complete or if the road is still in bad shape ? Thanks.

As I've heard the 2k paint is extremely toxic (if you breath in the vapour) so If I were you, I'd save the trouble to myself and the neighbors and get it painted in a paint shop.

This is pretty cool, they've 3d printed the turbo with the moving parts inside in stainless steel !!!

Top gear sri lanka, don't know if to be sad or happy but funny P.S. this guy actually reviews a F430

Resurrecting an old thread, the seat cushions in my driver's side seat has sunken and it has terrible low back support. It's so bad that it gives me sort of a chronic back pain now. (I drive about 3 hours per day - 5 days a week ) I only need to do the cushion in the driver's seat to the original spec. Don't need covers or anything - mine already had custom covers when I got it. Could you guys suggest me a place ? and where's this deen's located ? any contact info would be great.
