  1. Flat open ground so yeah I will need a wide deck. Thought I would just hook up a small dometic fridge with some beers and go at it. I have always wanted a JD so will take a look at what I can pick up. Animals will be on the cards too. But down the track I think.
  2. Yeah it's still there now. 535is manual.
  3. So it really is your own fault if don't bother buying a report before purchasing the car.
  4. Haha would be pretty fun. I actually found a towbar attachment mower. Self powered you just tow it around. Lawn mowing time trials?
  5. BMW doesn't make them. So I have no idea where to start. Mowing 3500m2 of pasture. Anyone on here spend some weekend time cruising the paddocks? Ton of second hand stuff out there. Which would be preferable. Rather spend the real money on the garage and a hoist I am continuously reminded that I'm not allowed.
  6. To be honest I think I am recalling a court case rather than the law. The Contract and Commercial Law Act protects the buyer to a limit against shifty people who mislead or falsify info. In 2003 when the frontal impact laws changed and all the damaged cars started being tagged as such I think their was a case which involved a flood damaged car. The owner found out 7 years (or thereabouts) afterwards and made a claim. And won as the fact it was a flood damaged car was not disclosed and would have meant the car would not have been purchased. I was importing damaged cars at the time. And stopped shortly before the change. Having it tagged like that would have killed any profit. I will try and find it later. I'm procrastinating my land purchase documentation atm. But by not saying anything are you really misleading someone? I guess it depends on what the buyer asks them.
  7. I asked. Wonder if he realises that withholding that information from the person who purchases it is illegal. And that they are liable for up to 7 years.

    Quick rant thread.

    I just don't want to pay anyone else silly amounts of money for basic issues. Even a simple service in NZ is double what it should be.
  9. Hey mate. Can you chuck up a Price as per the forum rules.
  10. What a load of dribble. You asked the questions but didn't want the answers. And it's "Bully RS3 drivers over the Remutaka Hill". Look it up. Understeer. We stopped and chatted afterwards. But whatever.
  11. I had a 55" TV in it's box in the back of my 130i. Laying flat. And I think it has had a washing machine in the back at some stage too. I love my one because it does everything I ask of it well. I can park it anywhere. Take it to track days. Do high speed runs at Ohakia. Cheap insurance. Comfortable. Allows me to bully RS3 Audi's over the Remutaka hill. But most of all. It cost far less than what I would consider the next comparable vehicle.
  12. Gone are those days Glenn. Facebook killed it. As more and more ditch Facebook BS may one day rise again.
  13. OMG. They have all their cennies.
  14. Better off getting them out of the US. I saved about 600. And made money when I sold them a year later.
  15. Tick is just air in one or more of the hydraulic lifters. Common for vehicles doing small trips. E.g. Being moved around a yard. Hold RPM at 3000 until it comes right. About 1 - 2 mins.

    Quick rant thread.

    Was it a Eastern Suburbs beach? If so I'm sorry to say you will probably lose that leg.
  17. Sounds like you picked up a real beaut. It's a shame more aren't like that. I might have enjoyed them. There was a purple tag rack in the For Sale section a few weeks back.
  18. The prices for these are really all over the place. Would not pay over 10k for one however.
  19. They are not too bad. Wearing ok and I haven't had any issues with grip. They moaned a bit on the track though. I virtually do no city driving. So the cars been great.
  20. Hmm I think it's time you got a refresh. Mines not like that at all. While it's stiff it's amazing on the back roads of the Wairarapa. Which are poorly maintained bumpy windy sh*t roads. Sort of crashes through the bumps at low speed around town though. Cars all original. But has some Korean tyre's rather than run flats.
  21. Spotted a functional E34 just up from where I'm staying in Wellington. Size comparison with the mini too.
  22. It can't be that bad... You son of a bitch. God I hate those.
  23. @BM WORLD New project for you Brent?
