Didn't this only just sell?

The Porsche he brought about 3 months ago for $28k. Has changes wheels and bumpers, not $30k worth though.... (info on Porshe via another Porsche owner who knew the car before sold).

Sold quick, did love that colour

Best colour next to black. 

Off to a home where it will be well appreciated and cared for.

Sold the E39, does that count as doing something??

Most people don't realise that their car has somewhere to temporarily 'store' the filler cap while pouring fuel into the tank.

The cap tether seems to be a common fail. They're rubber and the atmosphere they work in isn't conducive to a long life. That and regular pulling and twisting tends to mean an early demise.

260k on mine and still there.

Sold.

70 odd km's each way, average travel time in the mornings seems to be about 1:20 and evenings can vary wildly from same as mornings to 3 hours.

We'd be looking at moving closer to AKL but can't find anything under $1M in a half decent school zone that's even remotely comparable to what we have here! 

Pretty easy decision really and if I was overly concerned about climate change or get too frustrated with driving I could always do the train... 

Being an owner of both an E34 and E39, both V8's, my personal preference is for the E34 for a variety of reasons.

1. I prefer the older square styling of the E34, maybe a trow back to the 80's when all the cool cars were hard edged and boxy.  

2. Its a more engaged drive, well the E34 in manual is hands down better than the E39 sludgy box. Having driven both in auto the E39 is far more refined, but for me its nice not great. The E34 in auto is not even close to comparable to the manual.

3. The E34 has been a much better car to own and the build quality in my opinion and experience is better. Both E39's I've owned have had much higher rates of ancillary part failures.

If you were talking M5's I think I'd lean towards the E39. I'll qualify that statement with the fact that you buy an M5 in full knowledge that it's going to come with M cost.

 

SOLD

I have a two post Molnar hoist that needs to go. Was purchased with a mate with great intentions but priorities have changed as they do. 

$250 and it yours. 

Was told the cable had been replaced and ram serviced prior to me getting it, but I've no documentation, so comes with no guarantees. Can still get parts from Molnar for these (lift pads etc).

It is electric / hydraulic (ram drives the cable). Electric motor is 3-phase, you could swap out the motor for a single phase of the same hp? At some point someone has welded RHS to the posts with lock out pins so its can't drop. Will need to be picked up with a car trailer with a tilt deck and winch. We dragged it up with a hand winch without too much hassle.

As best I can find out from uncle Google, specs should be as follows;

Lifting Capacity	3000 kg
Minimum Lifting Time	27 seconds
Footprint	3250 x 1200 mm
Length	1200 mm
Overall Width	3250 mm
Height	2770 mm
Width Between Posts	2650 mm
Drive Through Width	2420 mm
Maximum Raised Height	1900 mm
Minimum Lowered Height	110 mm

Pack Dimensions	W 4000mm x D 1200mm x H 600mm

Shuffled all 4 5's around in the driveway (one by pushing into the shed...). 

Got a bit pissed off with all the bloody plants the wife has in front of the garage making the whole exercise a series 25 point turns so did a burnout, much to the enjoyment of our 4 year old.....

Started my new E34 project too.

much like!!

Pretty sure I've been driven over that hill in a factory 1968 Ford GT40.

It's NZ any retard's allowed to drive. 

SH1, X5 with plate IRDH8R

Done it ;-)

Story in due time.....

Not me and don't know the guy, but may be some useful bits in there for someone?

Great score Brent.

Just be mindful insulating around light fittings if you have a ceiling and recessed lights.

Some info here, will be the same if you're using other brands.

Awesome!

E34 540, 6 speed

E39 540 Msport

E60 535d Msport

No maintenance or improvements, but spent the weekend driving the 540 (occasionally in anger) around the Matakana, Leigh, Omaha area. Every time I drive it I'm reminded just what a great car the E34 is.
