Man, that looks great! Well done. How long did that take (sans the photo shoot). If you don't mind me asking, and hand or orbital?

Thank you, that's great. Fabulous car but the article itself could so with some work and way more photos needed. No mention of the carbon fibre wheels and no pictures of cool things they did mention (mirrors, rear vents etc).

And FCP Euro.

Is that an Estoril Blue 328? If so, that's cool. I have a set of polished style 24's in 7.5x17 that are surplus to requirements, would go great with your car, even more M3.

You can buy demineralised water from the supermarket and they're still open. But I wouldn't make a special trip for it.

? ?

80's and early 90's = orange.

Are the imperial threads "close enough"? I would have thought it all needed to be metric?

Yep... but not any more, their game economy changes have made it impossible... and I'm a top 100 player worldwide (Android), people who have less resources than me have almost no chance without paying many, many real $. Asphalt 9 is no better, perhaps even worse.

Didn't know you played A8... 5+ years for me. And now it's gone to s*it.

Yes, and Repco etc will be bound by the same rules.

Yes, that's my interpretation also. Post and couriers are also allowed to work but my understanding is that's only to support the supply chain of essential services. If not, that sort-of undermines the principle of the lockdown.

In the context of the whole message it means for essential services... I don't think you can consume the 3rd sentence in ignorance of the previous 2. I do agree it's a little ambiguous. But, coupled with the message that only essential freight is meant to be operating I think we can all draw the same conclusion - don't depend on a non-essential delivery for anything.

I think the Repco message is the same. Essential services only... what proof they're require and how they'll manage that is the question. I'm in possession of an "Essential Services" letter from my employer... perhaps I could lease that out... ?

There will be nothing except for essential freight deliveries I'm afraid Chris, you're going to be waiting a bit longer for those parts unless they slip through somehow. No mechanics will be open Cam and Repco can only deliver essential parts for essential services, I don't know what proof they'll require. Direct from Repco:

Ooh, that looks perdy... x-pipe looks high quality as do the welds.

Lasers? Cool.

Looks like you got it just in time too! I'd quite like a sauna at home for the next 4+ weeks,

...or Italy. I don't even get that meme, I used to watch TWD (before it became intolerable) and I understand the Eptsein saga but what, is it just because he's already dead? So the meme could equally be Kenny Rodgers (for example)? If so, it's not a particularly good meme. But I've probably missed a subtlety. @lord_jagganath - depends, how many employees at your organisation? Are you union aligned? Can you work from home (even partially)?

You can reuse the top/side seal on the coupe and reuse it... if you're careful! Don't stretch or tear it. But I'd make Novus pay for a new one if it were me. If you do reuse it you'll need to replace the tar-like sealant if the existing stuff has bonded. That would be a royal PITA.

Frivolous, but when Auckland City BMW are selling something for an almost normal price, without the BMW NZ 400% markup, you almost have to do it. I wonder if they parallel imported them? They're a bit Rolls Royce, I quite like them. 5900 posts! ? 99% BS, 1% plain wrong. ?

Close contact. Or, after today's announcement, if you're elderly or have an underlying health concern. Travellers are only one group of people that need to self isolate, and having done it once doesn't mean you won't have to do it again for a different, or even the same, reason. But I was only commenting on the driving generalisation, I have no information on the OP's specific circumstances.

I suspect FCP would easily do 60k into NZ based on the boxes I've seen at a few independents. They're "required" to register for GST but NZ can't enforce that because laws don't reach other shores. Government could pull the pin on the nuclear option at any time they wanted and 'return to sender' which would eventually dry up the supply or force compliance if the market was valuable enough.

There's nothing wrong with driving when self isolating, unless you're a bus driver of course. Although there may be little point.

That looks sweet. How long does it take to heat up to say, ~50*? And does it have a drip tray of some sort that you empty from time to time, or a drain plug?
