ohhhh baby

Something else to consider....the Sony screens are actually made by Samsung

This must just be the price to get your existing plate changed to widescreen then. So they charge $300 for something that costs $30

Ive just seen the logo plates....so you can now have any logo you want on the sides of the plates. So how is anyone going to know whats legal or not just by looking at the the plate anymore ? Obviously there is a slight font difference (and personally I can spot the German font a mile off) but its getting harder and harder for Joe Bloggs to notice any difference.

It all depends on what you watch and what your using as an input. Briefly, if your watching 'fast' moving action then a plasma will handle it slightly better. If you want a sharper picture then the LCD wins. Plasma's dont handle 'bright' situations very well but I think have a better viewing angle (might be wrong on that). Personally I wouldnt buy anything other than one of the new Samsung LCD's. A bunch of my friends are all into HTPC's and watch LOTS of HD content. We have all done lots of research and we have all ended up with Samsungs. The new ones are superb and even come with built in freeview tuners. Size depends on how far away you sit from the screen but I know plenty of people who like to sit 6ft from 50' models. Just looks daft to me. Try going to Harvey Norman and ask for the cash price for a substantial discount. If you butter the guy up enough you should be able to put that cash price onto finance or even your credit card.

Thats the plan. The one I have uses a small brush, you make sure its properly mixed, put a thin layer on and your done.Very easy and saves you a bundle on the overpriced bulbs in the shops

Allan, just buy some silver paint from repco. Costs about 10 bucks and so far Ive done 6 indicators and at least 6 repeaters and its still going

Is it April already ? Note the photo and more importantly the DATE

Great job Bravo let us know if you want to start a petition I was on the plates site the other day to remind myself just how expensive they are. I spec'd up a plate and got the price and bailed when it came back with $700 alone for the basic plate. Didnt they used to be $250 when they started? Anyway a couple of minutes later I got a nice email from Melanie at plates.co.nz asking if she could help as something had gone wrong with my 'purchase'. So of course I asked her to confirm the $700 price and confirm what exactly constitutes a 'premium' plate. There was an immediate reply about how they were good value at this price and some stats on how many plates are sold each week etc so I asked her to explain why a plate costing $30 to produce was selling for $700.....Im still waiting for her to reply

HB fella

I only use baby wipes.

Oh well the thought was there

Thats the one Paul. I do have a prior engagement tomorrow night but can definitely look at getting out early if anyone wants to meet up for an inpromtu pint with an out-of-town bimmersporter. Assuming you dont have other plans Marty What do the Wellington people think ?

I got the same email. Having 'NZ' under the Union Jack is just crap.

Anyone got an old ipod they want to get rid of? I just want something for one of the kids. I dont care about the colour too much or the memory size but it must be in good condition and have a screen (so no shuffles). Dont care if it has no headphones or if the battery doesnt last too long because it will be in a docking station permanently anyway. Also looking for a set of speakers for it aswell if anyone has a set. In the old days you could just buy a cd player and be done with it, but all our music is digital ! Cheers

Thats what the man said Graham!

I bet theyve been painted black already !

DRINK !

Im with Boris, why buy a replica when you can have the original for not much more.....assuming you can find one for sale of course !

Wasnt that green ?

Sadly I couldnt give the touring away so its staying. I just cant bring myself to sell it for as little as 15k to just swap it for this

Oh my lord

Have a good day Paul

Ive got FK452 on the touring and they are superb. Had the FK451's on the 740 and never had any trouble with them.

Thats just WRONG
