  1. Saw police pull over a blatant red light runner yesterday. Those feels were good.
  2. I think the owner of this workshop has some serious smarts about him. He realised he was in a no win situation so just bit his tongue, gave the guy a free groom and said sorry, making his business look professional and responsible. Now the REA looks like the wanker he is, since he has gone to the press over literally nothing.
  3. Legally binding? Not likely. The bullshit TradeMe put up before you put your bid in is exactly that. The seller made a mistake, you aren't getting the item for $1. You aren't going to spend good dollars in the district court fighting for it either. The dealer that sold the car for $1, got far more publicity than they could have bought for the measly profit made on that trade in by honoring the deal and it going all over social media and the newspapers.

    It beggars belief what some of these clowns think is acceptable management. Good luck even pumping petrol with a monumental f**kup like that when you have explain how you exited your last job.
  6. I was looking at a manual one of these before I bought my RX-8. Sounds like my rotary uses less oil
  7. To clarify the cert thing for the engine swap, there is no 25% power increase rule on engine swaps. That is for modifying the original engine. If it has a bigger engine, it needs a cert. The end.

    Sri Lanka played like we should have played against Australia. Steady as she goes, a couple of runs an over, boundary when you get a duff delivery. I feel the rest of the batsmen, with the exclusion of Williamson, feel they need to replicate McCullum, but don't have the eye or the skill set. Vettori and Taylor used to be class acts, I remember Vettori rescuing NZ from a one day defeat with some very clever batting some years ago, what has happened?

    pldubs - e28 525e

    If you $1 reserved it, it would be gone already. It's an oddball car. The people that want one, are broke. People who can afford it, will buy something else.
  10. Here I was thinking this was going to be from Labour weekend or something....but no, it was only a little over two weeks ago if you account for postage.
  11. I'd hope you would win most of those races. The e46 is a mid 13 second car with 103+ mph trap speeds down the quarter out of the box. Good work. Now go to Meremere and get some real time slips.

    pldubs - e28 525e

    $1 reserve it. If it's marketed right, good quality photos, popular TM browsing time when the auction ends and it still sells for fuck all. It was only worth fuck all.
  13. Used DIN55 LMF battery. It's for a Euro, it was in my Corolla, god knows why as it didn't fit very well, replaced it with the correct one. Charged and tested. $1 reserve. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=845649290 Pickup in Burnside.
  14. My father and I rewired the ABS control module ourselves when we got the ABS light on the dash in our old E36. Found the wiring diagram online, ripped the old crusty and broken cellophane wiring out and rewired it. Cost us a tiny bit of solder, some wire and time to remove, refit and bleed brakes.

    2000 BMW 728i

    Gorgeous car. IMO the E38 is one of the best looking four doors ever.
  16. Fantastic condition Momo Type D36 steering wheel. Momo horn button can be replaced with any standard sized horn button, would look good with a Roundel. No boss kit included. $150.
  17. Wow that was quick! Nice car, priced well

    237kms and $6500? Knock yourself out.

    1994 325i

    You might get some interest with a realistic price. Same kms and under $4k http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-387147545.htm
  20. De-reg IMO on a undesirable car like a Compact 3 series means its only worth scrap value.
  21. Now on Trade Me http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=388534193
  22. Putting my Clio up for sale as I want a bigger car that I can tow with. Will get new photos and put the car on Trademe this weekend. Its silver, 132kms, well serviced and generally very tidy. Its a daily driver that does ~300km a week so its not immaculate but it is very tidy. Auto on headlights, rain sensing wipers, 6 stack cd, A/C etc. Its de catted, but otherwise standard. Cambelt, waterpump, aux belt all done at 85,000km. About six month old Toyo Proxes all round, new front brake rotors and pads all round when the new tyres went on. Brand new battery as of about two weeks ago. New WOF. Reg till end of August. Peugeotheaven does any work needing on the car. $7500 or trade a 4.0l E38 740i or E34 535i/540i plus cash my way. cheers, Al
