Best Appliance/tool I have ever purchased in my life. Dimensions are 825mmW X 890mmD X 1690mmH. 6 individual infra red heating panels with magnetic wooden safety panels. Max operating temp 65C Bluetooth sterio speaker system with internal lighting. Chromotherapy lighting system (sold separately) yet to come next week sometime. Easy fit into the roof. I put this together yesterday. I'm absolutely rapped and impressed with the quality. Wife and I have both used it separately. I did 30 minutes at 65C set at 75% intensity. It was hard going first time and I'm going to use it at least every second day. Did I feel good after the shower ?

We have a customer code at work to quote to Repco for any parts we ( mean I ) may require - since we are classified as an essential business. Repco Te Awamutu is closed though, call forwarded to Hamilton & parts couriered to work. Our other parts suppliers are available for trade too

If you are specifically after one of them, it would be a good one to go for. Not many were optioned with low range, and I’m pretty sure they also come with a rear diff lock too.

It also says essential needs - I was thinking that means if you need to drive to the supermarket. I suspect mechanics and the like will be like tradies. For example, if a pipe bursts you can call someone to come fix it but they can’t renovate your bathroom for example.

I see EuroSurgeon has just made an update.

Repco are apparently open for online sales, supercheap closed online and retail. I ordered a swag of stuff from FCP euro, which hopefully turns up in next few weeks.

Managed to catch one of the last couriers out of the parts warehouse before the big lockdown. Gives me something to do whilst being stuck at home with the kids!-

The wage subsidy is to encourage employers to keep people employed but it wont save everyones job. Some businesses maybe not be able to pay 80% of their employees wages for this extended period (no income, cash on hand etc) so they may not apply for the wage subsidy. In that case it's a matter of discussing what measures (if any) can be done to keep your employment eg voluntary annual leave or unpaid leave etc. I think there will be additional assistance packages once the lock down period has subsided. You can't force anyone to take annual leave without 14 days notice unless its agreed upon with your employer. It's always been like that but some employers are ignorant, or try and sometimes succeed to preying upon employees who don't know their rights.

dunno about more value but i do like it when the car still has the original plate

It was like Christmas brru...choosing all those pieces...????. Its going to be a tough 4 weeks for the LsBeema??

Good friend in AKL has been looking into a fun car and has decided on either a 135i or 335i Coupe. He drove mine then went back to AKL and drove a number of cars over the last 3 weeks. We had a chat last night and this was the gist of the conversation. BTW to give this some context his last fun car before kids was a 996 911 that he used regularly for track days. He thinks E92s have a classic coupe styling and look great from all angles. The E82 he though looked good from behind but quirky from most other angles but he does think the design while not classically good looking is still appealing in its own way. Ride wise the 135is seemed busy to him. He said there is a lot more banging over irregular road surfaces and the car never really feels relaxed. The 335is including mine with stiffer suspension felt more supple and seemed to deal with rough roads better. I find this quite funny as i think my 335i feels a bit busy especially compared to my old E60 and XR6T but it is running firmer Tein springs. Handling wise he drove 3 135is that were according to the sellers all on stock suspension 2 lower kms and one at over 100k. He said the feeling of speed was more noticeable in the 135i and that makes sense as they are 120 to 140kg lighter. He did find the 135i would step out easier and needed a bit more concentration. He did think both cars needed more tire width especially front to counter the slight under steer. Like me he thought the rear of the 135i was pretty tight and like my kids he thought his would not nee too happy for more than short journeys. He thinks there might be a few Corono bargains coming up in the next few weeks so is primed too buy. His favorite so far is an Alpine White 335i MS DCT . Anyway thought I would post this as I have bugger all else to do.

there is nothing to understand.Unless you are essential industry or service you go home and stay home from wednesday midnight at the latest..You only go out for food,medicines etc.The idea is if we are forced to stay away from each other we will virtually stop the spreadof it.,otherwise every one that gets infected infects three others.Its fairly simple maths what happens if that is allowed to happen 1>3>9>27>71.......In no time at all our health system is full .We gotta stop the spread of it.

Which is exactly why its time to smile at silly stuff, while everyone's stuck at home worrying about the end of the world as we know it There are going to be some really shiny cars on the road in 4 weeks time..

The system clearly works. Just got some shocks from the UK. About $500NZD worth. Didnt pay GST on sale, and flew straight through customs without so much as a blink. I could get used to this new system.
