Dont assume the container is water tight though. Best to get in it and close the doors leaving someone you trust outside If you can see no light coming in your all good Otherwise it could end up looking like mine did when it came over Im sure the photos are on here somewhere if you feel like losing your lunch.

1. I say again, why would anyone write a virus for something that holds less than 10% of the market? Ive probably had more pc's than you lot have had hot dinners and have never had virus. I dont actually think I know anyone who has had a virus and I know lots of people with lots of pc's.2. My argument still stands, WHY are they easier to use? You havent even attempted to answer my question. Ive got one server automatically downloading anything I want thats on 24x7, running both web and ftp servers and requires ZERO attention. I have an htpc that can do ten times more than MySky could even dream about and it was all easy. I also have two laptops one of which handles all the photo and video editing I need to do and wirelessly connects to the htpc so I can watch tv, movies etc anywhere in the house, the other runs several Oracle databases and web servers for my work and Ive had not a single problem with any of them. 3. If Macs are so great why would you need windows ? You could argue that this statement alone proves that pc's are better than macs. 4. This is the point....what would I want to do that I cant do already? 5. Absolute rubbish ! 6. More support for something thats less than 10% of the market....yeah right. 7. So the fact that they are more than twice the price of an equivalent pc makes them better ? I can build a pc that would blow you away for a grand. Does that make it crap ? If I needed to do design work then I can see the benefits of a mac, its generalloy accepted that they rock in that scenario. But for the everything else there has still been no compelling evidence to prove a mac is any better. So if someone has anything decent to say other than just writing rubbish lets start another thread. If you nothing positive to add, keep it to yourself. Good luck with the purchase Glenn.

Haha you Mac boys crack me up.....if they are so great why would you need Windows? Oh thats right Macs are less than 10% of the market and no-one writes any software for them Ive yet to meet a Mac person who can convince me that a Mac is any better than a PC. There is never any reasoning, its just the same old response 'they just are'. Sorry Glenn, didnt want to make this a pc vs mac fight.

I used to work for Dell and wouldnt recommend anything else. Never heard the expression 'nobody ever buys two Dells' either, they have been top of the business laptop market for as long as I can remember. Some batteries have a habit of dying after a year, but everything else is top notch. Glenn, if your daughter can wait, the Dell website often has special deals every couple of weeks so it may be worth watching the site for a while. The best deals are when they bring out a new model. The new one has a massive price hit in order to get some interest in it but its only for a week or two and they dont advertise it.

Now that I like !

Also try in the boot on the drivers side

Now thats nuts !

My wife's not an early childhood teacher, she is a mother. If you would rather someone else brought up your children, why did you have them in the first place ?I have lots of friends who send their kids to childcare/pre-school (some by choice, others by necessity) and plenty of the kids are getting by far the wrong end of the deal.

Our doctor is in the center of town and they charge $47 dollars for children over the age of 6. I pay $50 for myself and hit the roof when I took my daughter in a couple of weeks ago.

We didnt have kids to have someone else bring them up, its our responsibility and we do it very well judging by the comments we get from friends and family about how they behave when we are not around. We get no help from anyone, both started with nothing and everything we have has been down to hard work.Having her work part time, means getting up at a hideous hour of the morning, shipping the kids out and never seeing each other during the day. Weve been there before and for the pittance that we would earn over and above the cost of childcare its just not worth it. Our priority is our family and thats best served by her being at home looking after everyone. But to be honest Im not sure why Im explaining myself as I dont really see your point. I havent said anywhere that my wife cant go out to work so dont know what your getting at. Yes the loans are interest free, but as I said originally I still get charged 2% each month of any outstanding balance that hasnt been paid. Currently thats $1200 a month. If you cant back with anything other than experience or fact, dont bother. Your bullsh!t comments are not welcome. [edit] spelling etc

There is so much in this thread to comment on its not funny ! For a start.....M325is. Feel free to come around to my place and see how my wife works during the day looking after our three kids and then tell me its not a job. We cook all our food from scratch rather than 'out of a packet' and they dont watch tv all day so require 'old fashioned' parenting with proper stimulation and are not left to fend for themselves. I did 12 hours at work yesterday and I still reckon I got off lightly. Anyway, I would like to know the ages of some of you because judging by some of the comments there are a few people who only remember the good times of the last 5-6 years and certainly dont remember what National did the last time they were in power. Sure the economy is suffering at the moment but NZ's plight is governed by what happens overseas (rather than anything that Labour has done) and its not exactly a bed of roses anywhere else is it ? People also seem to have forgotten about the massive wave that the country has ridden on the last 8-10 years. It was just two years ago when it was at its peak, house values had gone through the roof, unemployment was at an all time low, people were so desperate to get in on the act that they borrowed massive sums and took out 100% mortgages that they couldnt afford simply because the future looked so rosy. In the meantime people had forgotten how to save for the rainy day that inevitably comes. It was 'I want it and I want it now' and that comes nicely to Mr Fox's comments about gread. Everyone wanted a slice of the pie and they didnt care how much debt they got into to get what they wanted. Interest free loans were everywhere, banks gave money out like confetti and people bought whatever they wanted whenever they wanted it knowing they could always use the equity in their house to cover it. The banks didnt care whether you could afford the repayments or not, they had your house the moment you defaulted so they were covered. We just remortgaged our loans and by they're calcuations I should be able to feed, house and pay all the bills of a family of five on $1200 a month.....that doesnt even cover the food but it means that on the application forms it looks like I have thousands of spare every month and thats what they want you to see. But then the house prices got too much, suddenly the generation that has massive student debts (thanks National) came into play in terms of the 'game of life' and they couldnt afford to get on the property ladder. Money became tighter and all of a sudden overseas markets take a sudden dive and there is only one way to go when your at the top and thats down. My wife and I have a combined student loan debt that would make you all weep. For my generation, National dropped student allowances, brought in student fees (although Lockwood-Smith's stood on tv and said they wouldnt) and gave us student loans at 13% interest compounding daily with 2% penalty fees any month for any balance left unpaid. My monthly repayments dont even cover the penalties, so whilst the students of today have interest free loans, there is a generation of students who are still getting shafted to the hilt thanks to the past policies of National. Youve probably already guessed that I wont be voting National But then I promised myself four years ago that it was Labours last chance. I pay a massive amount of tax every year and still I have to pay almost $50 to take my kids to the doctor. The school asks for 'voluntary' donations every year and we even had a note sent home to other day to send 80c because my daughter has finished her story-writing book already and needs a new one. The roads are still crap, the hospitals are massively understaffed (where it counts on the shop floor anyway, Im sure the paper pushers are doing ok), the police are getting younger every year and we are now seeing ambulances with only one person in it. So where is it all going ? I was asked the other day whether I thought John Key was doing a good job or not. I havent seen him come out with anything other than gibberish for months and he has had plenty of opportunities to swing my vote but he hasnt. He just doesnt have what it takes to be a PM. But then I had to admit that even with all his short comings and Nationals past failings, how can you not admire someone who has such a massive lead in the pole's ? Change for changes sake is not a good enough reason, and so my vote probably wont be decided until the day. But I will vote with a 'social' conscience. I dont mind paying tax aslong as its used to make the country better, to fund social services and to help people who really need it. Having one example of someone screwing the system does not mean its broken. I hope I havent put you all to sleep !

Gentle is my middle name

Yeah, bring it along Paul. I wouldn't mind taking it for a spin to see what all the fuss is about with the 'is' If you dont mind sharing it out that is

Have a good day Jochen, weather cant be any worse than it is in Wellington today !

Do a search mate, its been discussed lots of times. You'll find that most people will recommend Page European.

Happy birthday Alex

Bucket of water is no fun Max, get yourself one of those super soaker things and stake out the garage But you could always fix the door !

A couple of them left at Borders on Lambton Quay in Wellington, reading it now The twin supercharged M5 looks the f&*^*&ing nuts too !

Do a search mate, its been discussed several times. Or just go here and order some of this....Liquid Leather

Was discussed a week or so ago Right here Follow the thread back to see the e34 thread. [edit] I should mention that I will be doing my e39 touring shortly so Ill let you know how I get on. Many many thanks to Glenn for helping explain it all and to Keith and Ray for sorting me out with the springs in the first place

Good work, but you might want to make it a bit smaller for a sig

Was apolished set on Tm just last week that went for the $2200 buy now....without tyres. Keep looking and you will find some eventually, just be prepared to wait some time or pay some big money to get them.

A drop, facelifted lights and grill, better looking wheels and a good clean and it would look very nice indeed. $7500 is a bargain for a car like this. 200k in milage is peanuts as long as its been looked after.
