  1. You are only allowed six here Rog, I think he's just repeating whats on the german plates website. Good luck to him, if people are willing to pay that rather than check it out for themselves on the web then more fool them. I dont buy anything now without seeing whats on the web first.
  2. I dont see what people see in her to be honest. Does nothing for me

    True but Telecom isnt a monopoly from its own doing, the government created it the moment it sold it off. Forcing a private company to open its doors to all its competitoes is unheard of elsewhere in the world. I honestly dont like defending them, but you have to have some sympathy for the situation they find themselves in. Damned if they do, damned if they dont. The fact that they pay my invoice every month has no affect on my opinion
  5. 3Pedals, Check out the link I think Glenn had all that at the bottom.

    Youve answered your own question mate, Telecom is a private company. Its their job to make money for their shareholders not give up their infrastructure to their competitors so they can make less !Can you imagine what McDonald's would say if I said I wanted to start a burger chain but all the best sites are gone and I wanted to sell burgers from their outlets using their grillers and tills etc ?
  7. Its a little unfair to compare an xsi with a vr6. Try the 6-speed gti instead....that is a nice car and I wouldve had one if the 406 sri hadnt have come up. The 406 was one of the best handling and smoothest riding cars Ive ever owned and wouldnt hesitate buying one again. The 106gti is a blinding little motor but it is VERY tiny ! I personally love the look of the 306 and think it can still look relatively fresh with some subtle mods.
  8. Im well aware of who he is, I just wanted to know how you get to be a black 6'8 something male ?
  9. I dont know Em, are you taller than me ?
  10. No-one will know anybody at this rate !

    You should be thanking all the interdweebs who are downloading pr0n, high-def movies and such like, morning, noon and night. They are the reason it cant handle it.I struggle to hit 40Gb a month but when an HD movie is 14Gb alone and yo have hundreds of geeks downloading dozens of them a month you get the idea. I cant say anymore but your 'insider' has it slightly wrong on whats going to happen.
  13. Reasons why I dont believe they are genuine. 1. I have the real deal on my 7 and you can clearly see these ones are missing the ///M badge that should be by one of the little holes. 2. Genuine wheels are 18's and not 20's. 3. If they were genuine they would be worth thousands. I was once quoted by Shelleys that to replace my 18' staggered set would set me back 2 grand a corner....before tyres. Like I said Im happy to be proven wrong but I dont believe I am and Im fed up with people on TM selling cheap rip off goods as the real McCoy. I have since received a shitty email telling me they do have ///M badges and they just didnt come out in the photo. Im toying with the idea of telling the seller what they are worth if they are genuine seeing as theyve just sold for 150 !

    Now I dislike what Telecom has done to the telecoms market as much as anyone but as 'someone on the inside' I can say that it was pointed out two years ago that the existing infrastructure couldnt handle being opened up and everyone comlained they were just protecting themselves. Also several of the ISP's refused to join up until the upgrade had already started and then tried to hijack it by insisting on totally unrealistic demands. They open it up and it falls over, just as they said and yet they still get sh!t. Telecom just cant win. After saying that Im on Telstra 10Mb and Tane I was getting 20 a month credit :-)
  15. I hadnt realised that these were up today, so if anyone on here was thinking of buying them do so at your own risk. Wheels I honestly believe these are not genuine as they dont have the small ///M badge near the bolt holes, and I also dont think they made genuine wheels in 20'. A bargain if you can get another one and dont mind the 'fake' aspect but Im happy to be proven wrong if they are genuine.
  16. Mate thats gutting, but how can your insurance refuse to pay out because it wasnt parked where you usually park it ? What if you come home and decided to stop at your neighbours place for a brew ? You leave your car at their place and it gets nicked ? The fact that your other car is on stilts is here nor there, you put it there after your other one was nicked ;-) Id fight it with them

    I think I just lost my dinner !Whatever floats your boat though mate.
  19. I dont want to stick the link up just yet as I want to be sure they are not genuine, of which I am 99.9% sure. I was just wondering what people thought....I seem to remember some issues before about TM deals going bad and I dont want to get involved in anything like that. They are also first timers so I want to give them the benefit of the doubt if I can.
  20. There is an auction on trademe where I believe the goods are not the real deal even though the seller has repeatedly stated otherwise. In the past I had an auction removed by TM because someone claimed it was fake (the fact that I said the shirt wasnt genuine on the description may have given it away) but anyway, do you think I should rport it to TM ? Question the seller ? Or just leave people to buy something based on their own research ? Would it make any difference if I thought people on BS were bidding ? [edit] Hmmm I thought I was making this a poll but I must have ballsed up somewhere...so Do I report to TM ? Question the seller ? Stay out of it ?
  21. Im keen to know prices too.
  22. Im with Glenn. You can do better than the motorsports and we all know dish is sexy, but those koyo's are nasty (just my opinion obviously) The two above are much better options.
