Carabao is definitely superior to Singha, etc. Not widely available unfortunately.

Imagine all cars were battery powered, then along comes a new invention, the 'internal combustion engine'. Think how well they would sell without subsidy or compulsion: A vehicle 30% lighter, 30% cheaper, refuelling in 5% of the time and a range in all weathers four times greater. Plus it does not r...

I know it’s boring to repeat myself, but EVs are garbage. The market for them has fallen off a cliff in the UK.
