  6. Opened and replied, just because I can Im not sure what your trying to say. Perhaps that you think using the word in a trivial situation is acceptable? Thats the whole point of the discussion though isnt it Nick, the trivialisation of a word. Interesting that you immediately prefixed this comment with this... To an awful lot of people using the word in any context other than 'the crime' is joking about it. A valid point and worth bringing up. Speaking for myself, I dont think either r.aped or c.unt are acceptable at all. I dont mind the odd f.uck everynow and then, but excessive use of foul language is unnecessary. I dont think thats too difficult to accept. You may call it stupid, I call it being decent and having repsect for other peoples opinions. As its the internet you have more people from more walks of life than you can ever imagine. Try thinking about that the next time you post. Have you worked in every workplace ? I would say the greater majority of workplaces would see you fired for using the language you seem so keen to be allowed to use. What do you consider a 'few' people ? There have been just as many comments on this thread saying its unacceptable as there has been saying its acceptable and the only 'few' you have to worry about are the owners, admin and moderation teams. Finally a voice of reason. Agreed, which is why IMO the best way forward is for the word to not be banned, but be heavily moderated. If its used 'out of context' or in a abusive or offensive way then it will be removed and warnings given.Its about showing some self control. Another sensible comment. Again another Mod with a perfectly sensible view (and Grant agreed with Glenn's comments aswell), anyone would think we were primed for situations like this So ultimately it looks like 'in context' is the crux of this discussion. The 'context' for some is their workplace, for others its down the pub after a few bevvies. On Bimmersport context is a forum with people from from all walks of life and so you have to be more careful. Just because we all like cars, and BMW's in particular, does not mean we find the use of foul language appropriate. Would you walk into a room full of strangers and start f'ing and blinding to all and sundry ? I highly doubt it so why should you be allowed to do it here ?
  7. I was looking for another car, but the buyer for mine backed out at the last minute Not sure I could buy a Merc though !
  8. ISOFIX connections are at the bottom of the seat back. Pretty much all BMWs have the bolts available in the rear shelf but thats not considered as an ISOFIX connection and your right in that they really only became standard after 2001.
  9. I had a guy phone me up about my touring last week who thought 125k was huge that the car would start to fall apart any time now. After I had stopped laughing I hung up.....I mean honestly some people have no idea.
  10. Ban it....end of. I cant believe some of the people on here who are having a laugh about it to be honest. If you'd ever met a VTEC victim perhaps your attitudes would change. Personally I find it disgusting and would have no trouble telling any of you that to your face. Its a word that needs no trivilisation whatsoever. Im disappointed to be honest with some of the comments in this thread.
  11. Well youve posted in the wheel and tyre section which is correct but you may not have noticed that its sponsored by Mag and Tyre. Several of the post in here are from Zenetti (Jonno) so have a look through some of the threads (especially the ones he's started for his sales) and send him a private message (PM) to get a price.
  12. You see the odd kitted Jap import with them, but rarely, if ever, do you see the spoiler for sale on its own. You can get tehm from ebay I think
  13. In leather ? If so can totally recommend European Leathercare in Petone. Did stellar work on my e38 when I brought it over, absolutely top quality work. Actually I could be interested to hear what you find out, I want to swap the leather from my standard e39 seats to a set of e38 comfort seats Ive got....and Im too 'time deficient' to do it myself
  14. Defo the right decision, gutted I didnt get them and sell them on now !

  16. And what do you think Jordy is doing by asking the question Pjay Seriously mate, I wonder why you bother posting half the time. Jordy, your unlikely to find anything thats going to give you that much data in a 'normal' plan without having some sort of overage charge. Telstraclear go up to 80Gb, Telecom are stuck at 40Gb and there are various nakedDSL ISP's that are in the middle with 60Gb and one or two go higher. It all depends on how much your being charged at the moment for going over your cap compared to the price of a higher cap. Telstra do a 120Gb plan but only in CHC and its not cheap. Sometimes its just cheaper to rent the movie
  17. Silver paint or even your GF's silver nail polish will do the trick. I bought some paint from Repco years ago and its still going strong after at least a dozen bulbs, comes with a handy little brush, ten mins to dry and jobs a good 'un

    BBS RS Wheels

    Or the wheels and tyres forum even
  19. Mwahahahahahahaha You just cant go wrong with those, even if the tyres are knackered you wont find genuine Alpinas anywhere at that price. I actually had to get away from my desk to stop myself from buying them and just sticking them back on at a higher price !!
  20. And didnt Allan end up throwing it all away and buying new ones
  21. Im not seeing any cars in these photos people !
  22. Sorry didnt see that one when I was scrolling down.
  23. Yours are all Softlines though Simon, you need to be finding Classics Just go here instead
  24. Personally I think they would look better on an e46 rather than e36, but Im not uptodate with the offsets of either of those cars.
