When the vending machine at work was filled up and all the drinks are warm and you didn't know When you put you warm vending machine drink in the work fridge to cool down and someone drinks it before you get back. One more cyclist poke. Why would you put yourself and your family at risk on NZ's roads knowing full well how poorly skilled and highly distracted a large majority of drivers are? Get a mountain bike and hit some trails. Better to hit a tree and fall off than to be hit and dragged under a truck.

Quick rant. Working in a collections role... You hear all excuses under the sun. You get sworn at and treated like sh*t... But as a customer service position as well you can't dare be rude back. Sigh. Winning lotto numbers anyone?

Ist borns first birthday today. Took his first steps yesterday too.

In an ideal world, every pump would have a percolated coffee nozzle. Can just see it. Diesel. 91. 98. Black Coffee.

Started work on the body mods. Big thanks to the guys @ Quest Fabrication for the time spent measuring,cutting welding the front gaurds. Sacrificed new oem M3 gaurds and FLift sedan/touring gaurds to make M3 Touring `Concept` ones.

Thought I would start a thread to track progress of the 316ti race car. The bulk of the parts are coming from the e30, I'll have a rolling e30 (as per my sig) shell left over at the end of it if anyone is keen. Here it is as it stands currently, looks average and is the most uninspiring car to drive with a mighty 100hp at the fly.

That is Unfortunate, for them! Its too late now my friend, nothing will save them from my Mad Max Fury!

AWESOME! (now wait till he's 2.5, then see the rant thread )

Selfie sticks

Lol, they're so big it takes 1/2 hour for the impact to reach you.

Haha! And a gas fund. First drive for her tomorrow.. In aggges

Looking forward to more updates. This car is just.. Too much for words

Yeesh, that black on the bonnet is hideous. Im concerned about the amount of bog on the arches, sort of how my old cortina was held together....

The fact this M3 isn't based on a 318 makes it quite rare and valuable, it could even be a world first

What a mare

Oh dear. It looked so much better before they started.

Thier use: No way a Ranger would haul 6500kg, especially with the same pace etc. make a lot more sence than a camper van, and can be used for more than just one activity, and a bigger home. Also Mobile offices and work stations. Medium size diggers etc. None of which you would tow with any current pickup, you would need an Atlas, Elf or Canter. do you call those oversize and obnoxious when they are the same thing, one just with 4 seats and an american badge on the front, i think not. I highly doubt anyone here would by one to replace the Prado etc as a pasenger only vehicle. this

people that press/stick their finger in the wraped meet packages at the super market. WTF.

Actually don't disagree with anything you've said. I am confident you're more evolved than many of the neanderthals that we let behind the wheel (and behind the handlebars of a bicycle), and don't set out to injure people when you're driving. My fear (and something I have seen first hand), is that that negative attitude, among the lesser evolved, can manifest itself in driving habits that are overtly aggressive and dangerous. I understand the frustrations of motorists when dealing with annoying cyclists, and I understand the frustrations of cyclists when dealing with annoying motorists. But when some lunatic in a lowered ute decides to drive his car through a bunch of cyclists, it is real people, getting really hurt. Its not a funny "just drive them off the road, haha!" kind of them-and-us, jokey attitude anymore. I'm sure its the same people that drive dangerously and overtake on blind corners. It just seems a little more real when you don't have two tonnes of metal around you. Its the reason I worry whenever a family member is out for a Sunday ride.

Recommendations please for a good mechanic to do full service and transmission service.

Don't get me started on that. haha. I have many stories of f**k ups, trials and tribulations, the last one was the biggest, ramming anther car mid corner mid stage at speed.. Good times. Anyway, wearing the right under wear is a good idea too.. nothing like full opposite lock at massive speeds to loosen breakfast. I have to hand it to anyone who co-drives, you need big balls.

Like so?

Having mates who let you borrow their cars... Even if its raining and I have a desire for some helis, Cheers Antil33t ( Sanch )

Doesn't look as fast

Just an update the minor clunk is just a little bit of play in the drive shaft spline where it goes into the diff, nothing to be worried about. Otherwise it all seems pretty solid under there.

Swapping in a complete M3 front includes modified gaurds,M3 bonnet,bumper and lights. The idea is to replicate the M3 Concept as closely as possible.

Thats awesome mate. My ex had a lot do do with the previous marketing people at the ZOO, was a really fun place to work, lots of cool things going on. Congratulations. Took my nephew the other week. Can you have a word to the Tigers about their laziness?? I mean, they just sleep partially hidden all day. That would be great.

I always liked this thing. Just thought a few picked out details to break up the black wouldn't have gone astray.
