Cale

Pretty sure he's a Swede called Patrik Furstenhoff? Madness how he just messes with the police, although he has spent time in prison. His fastest recorded journey was something like 70km in 15 minutes which is an average v of 280km/h on moderately busy public roads. I think he rides GSXR1300 Hayabusa's and GSXR thou's, sometimes turbocharged.

Why do e24 interiors always look so horrible..? Colour wise.

Meh. Doesn't do much for me. They seem to have gone a little less Euro again. Looks cheap and bulky and something I would expect from a mainstream Japanese manufacturer.

Yes. RHD and miles would be UK import. Would keep an eye out for rust. Whether its 170k miles or km would be anyones guess.

Link. heh.

Well, expect to pay a cool ~$100k for an 850CSi, like the one Glenn had in his garage. As above, a looked after one is worth every cent IMO.

The use of grammar is absolutely hilarious!

Good news indeed. Never liked that taxi racing anyway.

Actually, maybe whatever it was, was white..? hah But I think thats got to be the one I saw Bob.

Oh :S An M5

The other day, a bleck Dinan e60 M5 or e64 M6 in the CBD. He drived past me slow and his window was down and I very nearly hijacked his car.

Good stuff! I hate FB chat, and adding lots of people to Windows Live or similiar is rediculous if they are already in one place.

Bleh, if only these were 195/65 :/

IMO all ya need to do is leave it like it is. Just get some more black on the tyres and trim. Besides, it looks super tidy already and hubcaps are straight baller. Stock coolness FTW! Yeah.

It's Emma's cars twin! Very cool, well done dude.

But I thought dish was the in thing..?

Wow. That sounds a lot for a hose and an o ring! Welcome, and nice e60. Liking the M6 rims.

Insanely awesome. Not sure about the cutout front bumper aesthetically speaking.

So perhaps 'guaranteed' was the wrong word. Debt security holders are more secure than ordinary shareholders - even unsecured debentures for that matter. Debenture holders almost always have first ranking security over the company's assets, so if the company is liquidated, the debenture holders will likely get most, if not all, of their initial investment back. Someone also mentioned to ignore cliche advice. If you are looking at going in for low-med risk investments, the good old putting your eggs in many baskets rings true. Instead of putting all your money (cash, hopefully haha) into one industry, or different companies, and having something unforeseen and negative happen in the media, politics, economic cycle or anything for that matter (as finance is a lot about psychology), meaning that the industry will depress, and so will your share price, and probably your dividend payout. Whereas, if you diversify your portfolio, the idea is that if one of the two industries/companies you invested in under-performs, and the other out-performs, they will cancel each other out - sort of like a [not so] perfect negative correlation. Perhaps your capital investment isn't increasing, but you will still be earning dividends on those equity securities. NZ companies well known for are some of the highest dividend payouts in the world when compared to market share prices. If you only have a small amount of capital to begin with it might not be beneficial to diversify, instead to invest in a single company take the risk that the share price may decline.

^ Flag that. I hate to think of anyone driving with even one drink under their belt. And its not those dense and ignorant muppets I am worried about, but other people.

A low risk, low return investment is not highly dangerous. So long as you read and get daily updates on sites like sharechat.co.nz, newspapers, research through ASB securities/NZX, get annual reports from databases etc., not much is highly dangerous. And as Breaden said, nor is borrowing to invest always dangerous. As well as equity trading, debt securities trading produces fixed, regular coupons or payments over a fixed time. You are guaranteed those payments. Take an interest free loan, buy some bonds and you could end up with a nice steady income over a certain period. For some people, now is not a good time to invest, for some it is. Buy in the low times, sell in the high. Where you think the cycle lies is your (educated, of course) opinion.

I'm doing a finance/economics degree at the moment, and looking to go into this industry once I graduate. With the help of the generous NZ taxpayer, student allowances and my family, I was gifted some Microsoft shares and I bought shares in WBC, AIA and couple of others.. Basically, you need to read, read, read and read some more. And ensure all the information you are reading is reliable and credible, remembering that it could be (and most likely is) wrong.

Buy a ute?

Ooohh that Jetta is wicked! Good stuff _b
