Do you know a guy who owns a drill?

Much win on this one

its actually ridiculous that this is still for sale.

If it goes cheap I'll be interested in it for the wheels and NLA parts. Wish I had somewhere to store it!

Time to stop reading other peoples projects and start a thread of my own as a motivational driver to make some progress. As a spotty graduate at PwC the Australasian Partner had an E39 M5.....I had a 1972 Datsun 1600. One days I said I wills have me one of dose...... Fast forward 10 years and after two years of serious looking but not touching I was finally in a position to buy. Swooped on a 2 owner 2003 M5 lurking in a garage in Paratai Drive. The owner wasn't sure what the sport button did so it hadn't been thrashed. Well depends what you mean by thrashed......the interior of the boot was full of building rubble and there was 10 years worth of body slime on the steering wheel and switches. With only 95k on the clock and a full service history I wasn't about to say no to finally looking and touching...... First job was to compile the list of jobs. Cleaning........cleaning.....cleaning. Get rid of Roadstone tyres - enter Michellin PSP2s Replace worn steering wheel (thanks Ray @HellBM) Martin (breakmywindow) diagnosed duff thermostat - parts bought......not quite fitted.... Get rid of tow bar - new rear insert for bumper purchased ready for that job..... New oil separators and hoses.....not quite fitted........ MMMMM - liberate aural pleasure - Remus cans.....this time fitted.....improvement but I would still like louder aural pleasure........ Tints.....thanks Amber and Car Folie. Now restoration is being prompted by dog vs car incident. Dog ran off with a yelp, front end of III5 scarred and littered on Coromandel roads. Happy to say every little improvement brings me much satisfaction. Still much to do. Pic below from day of purchase Vanity....... Stretching legs on Thames Coast road with mate in his e36 M3 evo. Nice car..... Remus comes to town November snow - Car Folied.... M5 love in III5 vs dog.... Repairs pending........

I don't really rate generic electric fans for radiator cooling, they seem to me more of an aux back up or for smaller oil coolers. From what I've noticed the usual ex China generic car fan kits are fair basic in design with a low blade pitch and pretty noisy. Not sure of the stats, but I get the impression they are pretty taxing on electrical power too, putting a fair bit of load on the alternator. So it's not like you free up parasitic power by using one. Alternatively, what is really wrong with the viscous clutch fan? They regulate speed smoothly only when temperatures get high and freewheel most of the time putting little load on the engine, especially at highway speeds. The blades are bigger and have a greater pitch so will flow more air easily too.

imo get some proper pictures and chuck it on trademe. it will surely sell despite being in dunners

Hah, you know whats worse than that? Not a single person has even come to view it.

Or the ones with park lights on.... They've thought about it........ but not enough to put on anything bright enough for other to see OR make a difference to their vision... Maybe they're too dim (the drivers I mean... I know the lights are!)

Staggered style 5's!!

How can you judge any car when you drive a fit? xDxDxD

She was trying to flog his wallet because he never paid her. He was holding her nipple and was threatening her to do it again for the same price or I'll tear it off

Reminds me of a couple I saw walking around one year at the BDO. She had her arm around his waist with her hand in his back pocket. He had an arm around her neck with his hand firmly gripping her right breast. Saw them several times throughout the day with no change in method...

Threads on ACC levies and Rego

installed some pioneer rear speakers now, much better replaced door handle seals and a few other small things.

Spotted !

Welly to Masterton pick up load, get to Manawatu gorge, just closed accident , check Napier Taupo open caution, get to the Napier Taupo road and the mother f#*@r closed the gate in front of me. Had to wait for 12.5 hour to open the road.

I hate you. I have spent like $2500 in the last 3 months on my f**king teeth.

People who slam the bloody brakes on because they see a cop car or speed camera van... ...even though they aren't going over 100kph anyway. This zero tolerance bullshit is doing nothing to improve the piss poor driving standards in NZ!!

Allanw, on 02 Jul 2015 - 07:48 AM, said: I call these people the one speed drivers, its around 65-75kph everywhere... and then they flash or *555 me when I pass them.

That's about 70% of the population though... I think they actually have NO IDEA what's going on around them, or what they are doing.

picked up a new set of wheels.....

Fittes clear taillights. Before and after pics. I actuallt kind of like amber on the green but since i already had cleae corner indicators decided to go clear back as well
