Yet as is common with many NZ new cars the cheap buggers that bought it new didn't stump up a few hundred for heated seats!

If we were to get this one, I'll probably be driving it for the next few months. Better it breaks with me behind the wheel. Of course, Miss isn't allowed to drive yet.

It means the cheap crap they brought wasn't worth the fortune they were selling them for, so they gave up. If they brought decent ones, they couldn't put their several hundred percent markup on it.

Exactly what I was going to say Ian ..... Thisadmin also deleted my post with manual conversion for not having pictures..... I think we all know what a manual conversion looks like right lol

It's a large case diff. What sort of photos are you expecting?

All I know about driving in Auckland can be summed up by the guy. f**k you all.

After what I witnessed at the last Puke track day I attended it's the last place I'd go!

i guess going up for sale will call out all the people saying "if you ever sell" on your other one, as i found out lol

Decided to coat the covers myself. Went with 600 degree primer, sand stone grey and flat black engine paint. Waiting for the sand stone to dry, then will do a final coat or two of flat black.

I seem to recall a crash test in the 90's, where a Hyundai Sonata and a VW Polo where crashed into each other. While both had airbags, the Polo afforded FAR more protection than the much larger Hyundai. Potentially, the Polo without airbags may have actually been better than the Hyundai with??? I sold an 96 Legacy wagon (NA) I had to a 16 year old girl touring the country. She was looking at the Legacy, or a Starlet. A week or so after I sold it, the girls aunty phoned to thank me for talking them into a bigger car - the girl was turning across SH1, and pulled across the path of a car, and the front left of the legacy was hit so hard, it spun fast enough for the back corner to hit the same car! An airbag in the steering wheel would have done nothing/little, but luckily, the legacy took the brunt, and only gave her some massive bruising from the seatbelt, and minor cuts from glass and flying plastic. I can't imagine a Starlet/Logo/Mirage etc for similar money, doing anywhere near as well. I'd certainly be looking at crash data etc, if I was concerned about safety.

I would take a 325i SE over a M325i, at least its not trying to look fast so its less embarrassing when a family in a Toyota Highlander drags you off. Also, four doors are handy. 325i SE with Motorsport suspension and diff would do me.

I ah... i don't even know what to say...
