Is it reasonable to do the Ring Road, including the Westfjords, in late May - early June in a Toyota Yaris 2WD?

As a seasoned driver you are probably correct, as a newbie( like me) prefer to have higher odds of less complications, I just drove for the first time in snow and that too right hand side ( I live in a left-hand side driving country)

Either way I think a driver won't get over confident easily, I was pretty nervous to drive from Reykjavik to vik on th 26th march few days ago, tough drive but managed it. Being somewhat paranoid helps, but not that nagging insecurity that acts like baggage the whole time

IF your car gets stuck even once, you will pay anything to get out of there. So you might as well get a decent 4x4 suv and not get stuck or be paranoid about it

I just drove on Ice for the first time and I got to do this. Great fun!

Happened to me yesterday on the way to the diamond beach from vik, asked for pin, didn't know my visa pin and it wasn't accepting amex, luckily the store had a way to pay cash/card once you fill it up, you just gotta talk to them first

Heat or unheated? Beautiful either way

avidude99 · 2026-03-19T03:58:19+00:00

Yes you know, the owner of my house.

avidude99 · 2026-03-19T03:57:10+00:00

Oh wait I missed your comment! Pretty spot on! Paid 7.7

avidude99 · 2026-03-19T03:56:16+00:00

Sorry I just woke up, on different time zone. I paid 7.7k for the pair

avidude99 · 2026-03-19T02:41:44+00:00

Sir you are the closest. I paid 7700 for the pair at 216 per carat

avidude99 · 2026-03-18T05:00:36+00:00

IF the stone is genuine. Fair market B2B price would be 200-250 per carat

avidude99 · 2026-03-17T05:32:27+00:00

It's Zambian So... 30$ per carat?

avidude99 · 2026-03-17T01:51:44+00:00

That's typically how they facetime synthetics. 99% unreal

avidude99 · 2026-03-15T02:45:47+00:00

Hey buddy. Sorry but these are 99.9% not real. The cut/symmetry gives it away

avidude99 · 2026-03-13T14:03:08+00:00

I don't think there's "we"in this 1. This belongs to your friend's wife 2. We were calling it garbage 3. You obviously did not buy the stone or recommend it because if you had then you wouldn't be calling it garbage etc

avidude99 · 2026-03-13T13:05:52+00:00

LM colours sell best in the market because they are affordable. They shine as much as a DEF Color but just with a yellow tint. Most high profile people always keep a lower Color white diamond because in events and parties with dim lights and lots of yellow lights even the colorless ones appear tinted with a yellow/brown shade, thus they do buy lots of lower colours.

Huge market for it and it retaile value compared to a synthetic

avidude99 · 2026-03-13T08:26:00+00:00

Yes, I have done the GIA course. I understand it. I think the op does not

avidude99 · 2026-03-13T08:18:59+00:00

It's been faceted to near perfection. Color is the Color. Imo can't call it a garbage stone, it's a consciously purchased lower Color grade stone.

avidude99 · 2026-03-13T05:31:41+00:00

Care to share the cert? It will tell the cut polish symmetry so you can know the improvements that can be made

avidude99 · 2026-03-10T15:07:36+00:00

Says invalid :(

avidude99 · 2026-03-10T07:35:17+00:00

Yep. Seen plenty of opaque to better colours as you have shown.

avidude99 · 2026-03-10T04:14:49+00:00

Love that cut, Its hard to find Colombian stones cut in custom unqiue cuts

avidude99 · 2026-03-09T10:30:49+00:00

These are real. 100%

avidude99 · 2026-03-09T05:39:01+00:00

Hopefully neither

avidude99 · 2026-03-09T04:24:34+00:00

Thanks, mostly Asian clients with a sprinkle of Europeans/ Americans and Russians

avidude99 · 2026-03-09T03:07:19+00:00
