http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1007255291.htm I have a hatred of stupid people who think this will sell their sh*t, how many more are there?

IMO, the problem is not speed. The problem is muppet drivers who make me question how they tie their shoelaces let alone drive a car. See it everyday, people in their appliance cars, dreaming in their own world oblivious to anyone else on the road around them. Doesn't matter whether they're driving fast or slow they are straight up terrible. It's as if they somehow forgot they're in a car, and are supposed to be driving it. I can now predict what's going to happen at most giveways and roundabouts around town here as more often than not If I wasn't paying attention, the other car would have taken me out. Friends XR8 got written off a few months back by some chick who failed to see he was stopped, giving way and turning into a street, instead of going around him she just drove straight into the back of him. I seriously believe the average "driving IQ" is in a sharp decline.

He has said sorry about the pictures and is trying to rectify the issue. Not everyone is tech savy. Poor guy! Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

^^^ FARK , hate that sh*t, another road works horror, they damn well are everywhere and piss poor as well. Had three trips to Auck recently and the road is just falling apart, utter sh*t

Especially when the speed limit itself is an arbitrary number, and not one based on any sort of scientific (or other) investigation.

People also forget the simple fact that they are piloting a 1-2 Ton steel missile.

Attempted to install seat anchors for baby seats in E39 parcel shelf, anyone else had trouble doing this? Pretty sure the bolts need to be more like 60mm long, not the piddly 30mm ones supplied . And dammit, what is this 5/16'' (or whatever it is) sh*t, out here in the normal world we use the metric system!

Changed the engine oil and filter. In the Mercedes, for a change... 1 hour, end-to-end, including getting everything out of the garage, clearing up afterwards, and even having a cup of tea in the middle. Then went for a nice drive south.

NO just on hold for now, to much to do and not enough time to do it in Andy. Will c you tomorrow? will let you know where I am parked up for those axels.

Hitting a wasp nest with a rotary slasher. Angry little f#&^kers.

Where is OSH, if this was in an work place the council would have been held responsible and charge whit manslaughter. And if some metal fall's of the back of an truck, they get done for insecure loading.

There is talk of raising certain newer roads to 110 based on newer 'safer' roads. But also talk of lowering others. People should stop fiddling and just concerntrate on advanced skid training, tires and suspension. Problems solved. That and banning ling longs / triangles

UFO's confirmed.

The above storey reminds me of the time I was undertaking a car at 120km/h (they were hogging fast lane and slow lane was empty) and they were doing ~100km/h, yet they were the ones to get pulled over, probably because the cop assumed the car in the fast lane was doing the faster speed and I hit the brakes when I saw the cop which made them look even faster in a relative way. Funnily enough this same thing has happened to a friend who was towing a trailer in the fast lane and was undetaken by a car doing a much faster speed. Cop wouldn't believe him and gave him the speeding fine. So the point I guess is to always undertake when passing when speed may be over the limit and don't let people undertake you

I got a little beepy thing on the bike that let's me know when rozza are around. They've been hiding at the end of passing lanes all weekend, nabbing people trying to pass that a**hole doing 85kph the whole time then speeds up to 100kph soon as there is a passing lane.

Situations like this really make it worth getting an AA plus membership. Includes transporting your car up to 400 kilometres to your home or to your chosen workshop. They'll even put you up in accommodation if you get stuck somewhere. Only $50 a year when you add it to your current AA membership.

Hmmm, it's been a while since I shared anything about my Japanese toy on this German car forum. So here goes This morning I got a warrant for the UZZ32. It had been months since taking it out for a good drive so decided to head out east to some fantastic windy B roads. The car went so well with the new wheel and tyre setup, so much grip. The way the 32 handles on the tight bends second to none, totally effortless and builds confidence on top of confidence! Before my 32 ownership I used to ask an Aussie owner of 7 of these cars what 32s were like as a driving experience, while his comments gave me an idea of what to expect, actually driving one is the only way to really appreciate such suspension technology. I've never driven a car that can do what it can around the bends, it might be a heavy hector but the way it's composed makes it feel like a sub 1500kg machine with race prepared suspension. How it turns into the bends with such crispness really is the business, probably one of my favorite characteristics of the cars handling dynamics. A few days earlier I drove the folks Motorsport BMW 330i E46 on the same roads, a very nice car and plenty of fun to drive but it does require a lot more effort to put through the same bends and tends to want to loose traction easier than the UZZ32, tyres not the issue too as it was running high quality rubber like the Soarer is. Also notably, the BMWs ride was a lot more jarring and tiring than the UZZ32s when cursing at 100kp/h. Anyhow when I reached my destination I took a few pictures of my machine, only with my mobile but they came out alright. Enjoy!

Engine bay looks awesome. Entire things been done well from the start, nicely done!
