    OT but Trade me does have a lot of safeguards. Other countries only  have FB Marketplace (or ebay if they are lucky) which is basically a back alley. And that has given rise to the premium auction sites like Bring-a-trailer. 

    Trademe is actually a pretty sweet in-between that does have legal recourse (especially for large value items) and doesn't have buyer premiums that specialist sites would demand. 

    The whole "tardeme" argrument is like Sky Tv - everyone was crying about a SkyTv monopoly. But look atcha now.... Sky for Rugby/Cricket, Netflix for Ozark, Disney for Star Wars, Spark Sport for F1, Amazon for The Boys and your in well over $200.

    Careful what you wish for....

    Not a euro but actually a nice drive with plenty of torque. 
     

    After driving a brand new Ionic 5 for a few days, this is what hit me the most. I assume the CX5 feels similar. Nice cars, but they just feel cheap compared to even a ~9 year old X3. 

    Personally I'd go for an older euro. 

    Best of luck.

    Looks great, as does the garage floor!

    Must say, I’m not missing the dark car maintenance but damn, when they are clean they look amazing 👌

    China sent me the wrong colour! (yellow). I have another shipment coming and they said it would have replacement black. It's 1/4 the price of actual Swisstrax. 

    What's the dream solution ? Dark grey? 🤣.

    Tried the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Black Liquid Polish posted here by @GorGasm the other week. Pretty impressed and would recommend too. The problem with most "Sio2" LSP's is they bead so much that when a black car dries you get bad water spots. I actually think older style sealants/waxes are better at sheeting the water off. This one didn't seem to "spot" too bad though. Have just topped it up with this, so see how it goes.

    Polished tips (but only went to the visible line inside - I'm not OCD! 😂)

    "I bought this pig-hunting truck.  Can't understand why all the pig-hunters come out of the woodwork to admire it wherever I stop".
    They're not the "wrong people", they're 200SX family.  

    I have notice this in the last couple of years with the e46 though. Before it was only nerds. Now I get randoms coming up to me "Is that a manual bro?" etc. I think it's when cars get older but are still well presented they attract everyone; including pig hunters, f*ck pigs,  normies and nerds. 

     

    @SHRNTA any news? Sorry if it's raw / too early, but the insurance scenario would be something I am sure a lot of other owners would be interested in given the recent value changes. Hope it works out OK for you.
