  1. i would be changing that front tyre too.
  2. i see its got the optional heated seat
  3. thats just about always parked in that very spot.I think that car has been around Wellington for a long time.I think it used to prk around Shelly Bay and he came to look at mine when i sold it(as did two other E34 535 owners,one from Christchurch!
  4. the moleworth is just a slightly under maintained gravel road.So many choices for bikes now.Being a reasonabytalll fella an adventure type bike will suit you. an r65 would proably be slower than one of the 250s you are talking about;Even my r100 gs only had about 60 hp.If you happy with a single a bmw 650, klr 650 or a suzuki dr 650 ..THe bmw 650 actually a rotax engine.I prefer twins myself.

    Holden out

    Opel have also been sold to the PSA group.What,who is a Colarado anyway.They not Isuzu are they??? My Dad used to work for GM,on the frigidaire side th,but for some time we had a new Vauxhall or Holden every 18 mnths 2 yrrs or so.He prolly sold them for more than he bought them for. In no prticular order we had PA PB And PC Vauxhalls,EH and a 67 (ER?)Holden,The last of the pre HQ shape and a couple of HQs.Highlight was he bought a LS Monaro home one night .Was partly stripped out as they were doing some kind of muffler work on it. Very nearly bought a VL commodore(the 3L Nissan one) but bought a BMW K100RS mororbike instead
  6. i am sure i moved a washing machine in my 120d. I laugh at E36 owners saying E87 are ugly
  7. buy a 14mm bolt and two nuts to lock together= cheap 14 mm allen key
  8. i beleive it also about needlessly throwing away perfectly good oil
  9. and it still has the original plate!
  10. be careful wiring it up mine seems to flatten the batterymuch more quickly than it should.I think i am keeping Mr Toyota "awake"
  11. dash cams front and rear,record while parked option
  12. if i am buying something on trademe i ussually auto bid I just put in my maximum and let it be....
  13. so what is the 40d?Is it twin turbo 3.0 diesel still??

    they are nice cars if you into the dynamics of good handling cars,i would have another 1 series if they werent quite so low(age and 190 cm)
  16. jeepers i would buy an e34 just for those style 5s
  17. build a modern version of this instead of the r18 thing please bmw
  18. i can appreciate the work and some of the designs but the front tyres they put on these things is ridiculous
  19. that can be easily overcome....you dont tell them where you live meet at a gas station or something.But unless you have blocked acess they can maybe get your address from the number plate anyway
  20. well done at one time i thought we had lost you to some other manufacturer
  21. didnt know that ,however i think it should be completely transparent at all times what the issue is with these cars is/has been.For most people a car is a BIG purchase
  22. i think that it absolutey shamefull that the actual status of these cars is not a matter of public record.I was in the process of buying a nissan patrol when i found out it was an aussie write of.I couldnt find out its actual history just was assured it wasnt flood damage,but they wouldnt ot coudnt tell me what/why. When these cars come in i reckon there should be complete record which a prospective purchaser(at any time in the life of the car) can access.And that should also be true of any vehicle wtitten off in NZ.
