*sigh* Locked.

Does anyone else want to post a stupid message about the police before this thread gets locked ? Or can people try to keep it on topic ?

Irrelevant posts have been deleted. Dont bother posting anything else unless its on topic.

Nope, just fed up with listening to your inane drivel. If your not bitching about the police its the maori, if its not the maori its the islanders, if its not the islanders its the unemployed, if its not the unemployed its stay at home mothers.If you want to let us all in on your little 'secret' then out with it....otherwise keep the degrading comments to yourself. Thats my last comment on it, if you want to take it further PM me or one of the other mods.

Well if its not common knowledge and you want to keep it that why then keep it to yourself. This is a simple thread about whether the police can smoke in cars and you drag into the usual police slagging thread. Either put up or shut up.

*yawn*....you do the crime, you do the time.....end of.I really dont see the point of this post at all.

And where your from. Its amazing how many people say 'pick up only' but never say where they are !

And sits quite nicely in front of a huge set of open doors should someone hit the fire alarm

Im not trying to be funny, but 'text' speak just does my head in and its not necessary.

I see they are coming to Auckland in Feb next year. Anyone have any idea what the 'live' show is like ? I assume they have done them elsewhere before now. Just wondering if its worth the effort to come up and see it thats all. Its only 75 minutes apparantly but it might be worth the trip.

I paid GBP8k for a 12 month old 406 close to 10 years ago now. The time is not the issue, the price of the car in comparison to my salary in the UK and NZ remains valid though.I sold the car 5 years later for GBP2k......peanuts (less than a months wages). It was still in superb condition, full service history with all the stamps etc. When we got here a month later an equiavlent model (they didnt do the sri over here) with similar milage was NZD24k !!!! Hell my 740 was valued at NZD45k when I got it insured here and I paid GBP7k for it (two months wages) and I dont earn NZD22k a month now I can tell you ! Im sorry mate but thats rubbish. Please dont tell me your making the comparison using the exchange rate. Compare salaries for the same job and then come back to me. And Australia isnt?Cars in NZ were horrifically expensive prior to Jap imports flooding the market. No-one is denying there has been some crap imported but you also cant deny that car prices have tumbled making newer, more reliable cars available to more people. Surely thats a good thing. You mention Auckland looking like Japan ten years ago.....well what did Auckland look like ten years ago? A damn site worse than it does now I bet.

Such as the laws of spelling, grammar and punctuation eh mate

Its the same in the UK and over most of Western Europe. The car fleet is far far newer and there are very few Jap imports there.BUT the reason the fleets are newer is that car prices are so much cheaper in comparision to NZ. Imagine buying a new M5 for around NZD80k for example. Or a 12 month old Peugeot 406sri for NZD10k Put things into some perspective doesnt it? I personally think the imports have been great. For too long people have been allowed to drive absolutely shocking cars but they had little choice. The cost of new cars was just too high. I cant argue that there have been some terrible imports, but the only way to renew the NZ fleet is to make cars cheaper so people can buy newer models and you arent going to get cheaper cars in NZ if you restrict imports.

That was the first thing I did Josh !Ive had a couple of chats with the guy and Ive ordered the standard angle eyes with xenon (6000k) upgrade, white corners and crystal repeaters. They come with the xenon upgrade all done so its just plug and play and they have the self levelling as well. He could get white bulbs for the angel eyes from Umnizta too but that was another 300. Something in the future perhaps. Hopefully they will be here next week Now I just have to find an Alpina front skirt....and do the shadowline properly.....and tints....and tint the rears and then Im doing with the exterior

Turners down here gave us a 6 month warranty when we bought the Focus and we had a few things fixed under that, but it might pay to upgrade the warranty because we had to argue our corner to get the bill paid. Other than that I would have no trouble buying a car from an auction.

Huttey, Ive been reading quite a bit about this today It appears that you just need to wire the lights into the interior lights and they will come on and fade off with them. I dont know though if that means they cant be used at night but Id need to read up a little more on the subject. Try reading up on both bimmerfest and bimmerforums. Both have lolts of threads on the subject especially talking about Unmitza lights and Ive just seen a thread were the guy has bought a simple red led for about USD10 and wired that up to his angel eyes to have them shine red !

Thanks David, Im happy

Heres the photos of what they do.... They have sold hundreds over here so I would like to think they are legal. Only thing I need to confirm is whether they have self levelling I guess if I take the xenon option. This is what he has said.

Sorry misread your post mate !

I dont have xenon currently Paul.

Come on David......just another 5 dollars
