If you change the address of one car, it changes them all.... Mum changed the address for the Model A to theirs, because that's where it is stored - ALL my cars changed to their address too, because all the cars are in my name.

I had to go and change them all back!

I usually just collect them on a shelf... it's much easier!

This is what HSV should've done with their Supercat version of the Colorado.

You mean instead of sticking on some crappy chinese ebay parts, and big wheels... making it marginally slower than a normal one

I use YouShop all the time. Only problems so far have been 2 times that I included oil and grease, which aren't allowed ? There is often a delay between the item arrivng, and when they say its arrived... but the shipping is cheap.

I have a 17 inch wheel coming from the US for NZ$89-50 currently... MyUS STARTS at NZ$201!, Fedex etc are totally ridiculous!

Even Kiwishipping by SEA was only marginally cheaper, and they've still not replied to my enquiry email from early in the week. Too late now anyway - YouShop has worked out cheaper/faster.

The worst part, is US sellers using STUPID big boxes for stuff - YouShop say they don't rebox car parts, but they often do, anyway.

I still have the other 3 wheels to order yet... individually, to avoid customs But I'm ordering each one, after the last one leaves the US

Damn... that boy must have to pedal hard!

I like the optimistic title on that video "Misfire Issue". It sounds like it's running on marbles.

 

I thought they'd retrofitted an old school diesel, with a lumpy cam... Maybe even a 2 stroke detroit, with a loping cold idle

Anyway, it's only an M5 - nothing a wheelbarrow full of $100 bills can't fix.

^^^ NO!

Every single detail = NO!

The NZ Health system does not have a funding problem, it has a spending problem.

I see it every day.

got a pair of nice shiny new pilot sport 4s for the back of the M5, unfortunately the M5 is still up on a hoist trying to get the ABS fault sorted so i can't try them out until tomorrow. ?

Did you get a chance to "get your money's worth" from the old ones???

Better!

Put it on hold - you'll have to pay up to the hold date, or to the change of ownership date anyway.

You can do it free online.

Suspension flies apart, they eat brakes and they rust like crazy. Have seen several break seat backs off without being crashed 

Not a particularly well built car but they drive okay. Love the Barra though, beauty of an motor with some boost up it 

The rust on them is crazy! A mate was looking at them (and it was a long time ago - they're weren't old then!), until he discovered how many were rotted out under the back window in the boot.

89%

They could have used decent pictures though.

I thought thats what those Thule overhead boxes are for

It has no seperate boot, so that's where the bodies go.

Someone didnt make the petrol tank big enough...

Maybe I should get another for the roof? Or extend the chassis, fit an extra row of seats and another tank underneath?

OR... you can help me with this:

...and make ANOTHER tank for it

^^^Put a yellow stripe on it, and it will look like my double sided tape dispenser!

I can get over 1000kms from my VR6 Touran... I just have to fill it up once in the middle

Oh yeah!

There's usually some second hand ones stuck to the upholstery anyway.

W00t! $4 richer thanks to a secret stash down the side of my new cars seat ? @Allanw

Damn. How will I afford lollies now?

Nothing I want even ships to NZ

Would have loved free shipping on a set of VW/Merc 17" steel wheels

I cook a lot of the time. Depends on whats happening. 4+ generally.

I'll cook if it means avoiding other domestic duties, like washing and cleaning!

Buy another (working) door

Sounds WAY easier!

Same guy that worked on the Blue Touran ;-).

For a minute, I thought you were talking about the new X7 in this thread:

Yeah, until the end of August I think. There Is probably more rubber In my 2 rear tyres than your set of 5 though!

I only have (nearly) half the power going through them... but mine is fed through all 4... so each of yours have to cope with 4 times the power... so they should really be 4x the price Tell "The Accountant" you're getting a bargain.
