HTC for me. Samsung's stuff is all plastic and feels cheap - good features though. Don't like apple - handsets are too small and their business practices annoy me.

LOL!

^ Wow that does look so much better!

Wow this got long... To those that responded to the OP cheers. The answer does appear to be buy a nice auto car I like while leaving some money over for Ray to make it all better Manual vs. Auto - everyone is different and it would be kinda boring if that weren't the case. However I like driving my car. If something bad happens it's because I fu$ked up. Seems to me that people buying new cars these days want a 'bus ride' experience - auto, cruise control, auto braking based on car\pedestrian distance ahead, auto steering (Merc tech I saw in a doco somewhere), self parking, GPS and I'm sure things I haven't even considered. Sad really.

To be clear I'm not saying anything bad about auto boxes - I just don't want one.

^ I've scratched that itch ;-)

Ok so I kinda have a hankering for a 330i e46. Preferably a motorsport in blue with leather seats :-) But in 2 or so years of looking I don't think I have ever seen a factory manual... Why is that? Wikipedia says BMW did make some that way so how come we only have the auto boxes here?

I say do what you want - it's your car. Likely could use some suspension work anyway :-)

Spotted Westy taking Alice for a drive yesterday heading north into some congestion...

Maybe he knows someone or just has a WOF guy that didn't notice the BMW badge on the front doesn't match the Toyota under the bonnet...

BMW does do such a nice Red!

I like the write up :-) http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/e28/auction-689894969.htm

Never liked that colour... Still if I get time might pop in for a test hoon <cough cough> mean drive :-)

I can think of some entertaining applications for that...

Just read the Q&A. Well done on keeping your temper!

Pics of the new purchase?

Looks new! But no a\c... Shocking

No thanks.

Have a spot of rust starting in my passenger door. Going to get a quote hopefully this week but as an alternative was wanting to know if anyone had a door and how much they'd want. Would need to be rust free and straight - fantastic if you have one in diamantschwarz!

In the sellers defense he might not know any of these details...

^^ LOL Mine at home won't drive a manual either. She'd walk.

Try Snap. I'm with vodafone on a naked plan due to the discount across the one bill - adsl and 2 mobiles. Snap though is supposed to be very good.
