Happy Bday Paul!

Happy Bday!

This car looks appaling! It looked quite good a year ago when it didnt have the front bumper, eye lids, bonnet cut out, asian wing, and cut springs...

Cheers guys! Off to the pub for a few jars Simon: The Alpinas are off the car and sitting in storage. Waaaaayyyyy to wide, massive inner guard rub Need to get that 330ci!

Yip, I did the Contiki Euro Adventurer (37 days) 2 years ago. I really dont know where to start as ill be sitting here typing for the next week On our bus of 50, there were 3 Kiwis, 1 SA, 1 Canadian and 45 bloody Australians! 50/50 male, female split. The average age was about 18-21 which after a while got to me as they're were a bit immature and catty (I was 26 at the time) I hit the booze every night of the trip and hangovers were down to zip by half way. I timed my trip so that our tour passed thru Munich during Oktoberfest which is a must! My favourite place was Dubrovnik, Croatia. If you can, try do a trip that has a stop off there. Fantastic place! Montenegro, Albania were very interesting places. Exteremly cheap. A fly ridden pizza was about 70c and a pack of ciggis were 30c. I almost starting smoking for that price! Im glad i managed to go there thou. All Contiki's are very rushed but you do get to see all the main sights as the tour guides are very knowledgeable and know their way round. It gives you a good taste of whats out there and I now know where I will and wont be visiting in the future. Money wise, I went thru about 80 Euro (160 NZD) a day! Some days were more, some less. I wasnt going all the way over the other side of the world to be a tight ass. I think the total cost for the contiki & spending was about 14k all up. A lot of money but a lot of fun. As far as friends go, I made a couple of really good mates from oz who are actually coming over on Friday for a holiday. Ill be out of action on a one week bender with them to relive the dream! If you want to know any more specifics im only happy to answer your questions. Cheers Edit: http://contiki.co.nz/tours/107-european-adventurer

That E30 Alpina = Jizz in my pants! Thanks for sharing.

Happy Bday Camera Doc Have a good one!

Agreed! Every time I jump on here there is another yay or nay for some kind of rim on your car. You should decide on a rim that YOU like, not anyone else as its YOUR car and YOU'RE going to be the one seen driving around in it. If the rims you want are expensive then save and save hard. This could take some time but in the end you'll have the rims you've always wanted and it'll all be worth it, trust me. DONT settle for anything less than what you're after because within a short space of time you'll get sick of the "second" option rim and will always be wanting your "first" option. Do it once, do it properly. IMO the black steelies look better than whats on the car in the above pic and also the borbets! No offence, just my logic

I was going to say the same thing Martyn! There has been half a dozen or so come up for sale this year alone! Is there actually only 15 in NZ as everyone says?? Or is this a bit of a myth that has seemed to stick?

Looks great! Where did you purchase it from and how much for the can?

I reckon this would come close. 93, 318i done 250k. Pimpin interior only $10k

Did you watch that youtube link I posted? Jim mentions them!!

Get up with the play! Theyre on 3rd Gen now. The reason the 3.1 software its useless is because you have a 2nd Gen player. It wasnt designed for that...

Hanging out for this one. Lowndes/Whincup are red hot favourites! Fingers crossed for Murph/Skaife combo to preform.

Just act slow and tell them its not your fault your dyslexic! Even cry if you have to ha ha

He now owns an Audi Stalker Much

Want Cameron to Win but think Tua will by KO

No David Bowie?

Ha ha, you had me going for a while there! Very good

Happy Birthday Laurence. Hope the days not wasted sleeping off a night shift!! Have a good one.

Came accross the E46 the other day. Its very cheap. First manual 330 I have seen under 20k. Sign of the times?...............

If the seller really wants to sell their vehicle then im sure they would'nt mind dropping it off for the pre-purchase inspection. I know I would'nt mind if it ment selling my vehicle. You will have to call the place you choose to get it checked at, book and pay for the inspection, then get them to fax, email, post the report to you on compleation. Tell them under no circumstances are they to show or give the report to the owner of the vehicle. You paid the $$$ for it, not them. Plus you will know everything wrong with the car and be able to use the negatives when negotiating a price.

I would be taking it to a specialist BMW mechanic. Not VTNZ or AA. Theyre useless! I get my car serviced at Page European on Home Street (Mt Vic) Theyre very good, as most people on here would tell you. Link: Page Euro Cheers
