That's a terrible photo - can't see any real detail at all!

Congrats dude!

Interesting seat controls...

This must be the thing I dislike most about this forum - seeing fantastic cars come up for sale when I'm in no position to take advantage...

Never seen a Mk5 golf and a lotus look so good!

Fixed.

If you bought Winnie's you'd need to have it professionally cleaned to remove all the bullsh!t...

Something like this is cheap and the amber lights aren't too far off the e30 cluster: http://abtec.co.nz/Sony_DSX_A40UI_1_Day_Mad_Deals_ http://abtec.co.nz/Pioneer_MVH_X175UI

Nice buy! Welcome.

For sale? Say it ain't so!

Cool thanks Qube.

How much would this sort of thing go for?

Looking to do coils and spark plugs soon for my e46. Anyone used or have knowledge of Hans Pries brand coils?

That is awesome!

Having to get up to go to work while the rest of my family gets to stay at home\asleep. Worse my car is running rough and the engine check light just came on :-(

Ok agree that the person in this instance was probably not a model citizen. Still it was just a little skid - selling the car seems a step too far to me. Ron - lets not get too pedantic. You didn't mention 'sports' in your original gun analogy. Yes there are target shooting sports whereby people who may never have killed anything with a gun compete. Bottom line though - a gun is a weapon. A car may be used as a weapon but it's primary function is transport.

I didn't see that he had a prior conviction, but even so I don't understand the logic here. With regard to Ron's comment - sure gun could equal car as a deadly weapon and if you shot someone I would expect you to lose the gun and your license. But in this case they sold his 'historic vehicle' and gave him some of the money back. He can and most likely will buy another car and that right is unaffected. On second thought the gun analogy is not sound - a gun is a weapon with no real other purpose (people will argue this but hopefully we don't have too many nra card holding Americans on this site). A car is a means of transport foremost and I think there's a fairly big difference from doing a little skid and pointing a gun at someone.

If you have a momentary lapse of judgement the courts can seize and sell your car! So not only do you get punished, community service, fine and loss of license, you have your car sold for cheap (auction, minus court costs, minus any other fine, minus auction fees etc). This all seems a little much to me!

Didn't someone from Orewa way sell this? Looks a lot like Andrews! http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1043364390.htm

Yeah I'm one of those grumpy old men that doesn't like stretched tyres or airbag suspension. But having said that I can appreciate the work involved and your car does look grand! Nice job.

A stretch fan told me it stiffens the sidewall meaning less flex during cornering. I don't know if that's a good thing or even if it's true. Neither stretch or stance is for me though.

Warm water at the beach.

I got some mini disks if you want :-)

Good luck!
