8AM - Faro Fresh - Constellation Road. Any later than 10am and you are dreaming. I got some well before the hype started. Loved it. But won't touch it again until the hype is off.

Anyone Need Parts From UK? Container Being Brought Over
Driftit replied to M M's topic in General Discussion
Just bringing my spare car parts over -
Damn. Offset and that little 8" no good for me.
-
Yeah not so exciting from the sideline lol. Like watching rush hour in Otahuhu. But less contact and not as many drunk drivers.

What Jon said. Possible that I would be interested in some gearboxes and diffs. Any chance we can avoid GST? E.g. is this household items for a move or is the guy just importing stuff. -
Agree. Would want the originals not these fakes. I did see a black E60 M4 at Jerry Claytons on the weekend. Black dished 21" wheels. Nearly suited it.
-
Yeah that's the one.

Road bike racing. Its about as exciting as having to watch your 12 year old daughters gymnastics event. Surprisingly all the riders have the same body frame as a 12 year old girl. They have hissy fits like them too. Watch out!!! There is a slippery curb! oooohhhh he fell off and can't pick it up again...

Spotted the same broken down ACS E39 540i now driving. Has an american sports team related plate I can't remember. Lives around the Oteha Valley area. Sounds and looks good. Even though it is a strange color. Kit suites it. Also to the gumby in an E39 520i on the Southern Motorway last night who decided it was cooler looking to switch his headlights off and just have his rice rings on whilst driving at night. He initially had his proper low beams on till he caught up to me. Then switched it to rice ring mode only for show time.

Used these guys last time. Was a lot cheaper than Pelican due to shipping.
-
No V8 manuals. Just the turbo models. And it was something like 2 or 3 % of them.
-
Yeah I found them a bit gutless. Just a big cruiser. I was looking to buy a 1JZ version or an Aristo back in 1999. They were cheap as chips back then. But a factory manual didn't show up in time and we purchased some other cars. One showed up 1 week later....
-
Bump. Any ratio considered. What have you got?
-
Yeah that's right. But I don't think he is doing the brand any good. The brand itself is enough for the Swedes to sit up and watch. Get the Frenchy back in the seat or try and hook someone Timo Glock from DTM. He would fit right in. Ambrose coming back will be interesting. None of the drivers were sorry to see him go. Doubt any are keen to see him return.

It is surprising how much hate Wincup is getting. His Whining and occasional attitude issues outweigh his brilliant driving ability. That sort of behavior is fine for toss pot F1 drivers. But the Aussie V8's is very much a peoples race where Wayne drinking his Toothies or XXXX from Wallawallabungaloo wants to see someone he can relate to driving the brand he would die for. Lowndes has got that down. So when do you think they will drop Dehlgren from Volvo? He has just not gotten anywhere at all. Scott needs some team backup imo. Get Premat back in there. He drove bloody great on the weekend. Even the dreamers of Team Black were out driving the Swede. SVG needs some back up also. Redbull has proven that teamwork between the drivers can really pressure the other drivers out of positions. See it over and over. E.g. Lowndes "Sun Strike" on the weekend. More like remove the threat to the team.

Look good. Will have to get something similar made for the race car.

Broken down AC Shitnzer E39 540i just at the top of the hill past Oteha Valley on ramp heading southbound SH1. Brown/Gold color. Looked quite tidy. And Broken down E39 540i PFL also on SH1 just past Manukau. Looked like it was from the local area. E.g. f**ked. Same day. I think it was Sunday. Maybe Saturday. That was over 24 hours ago and I don't remember.
-
I missed it by one day in Monterey last year. Was at Leguna Seca. Instead I was watching some shitty Yatch in San Fran.. But the photos I saw of the event were amazing.
-
Never feel for Whingecup. Not even once. I feel for SVG though. Let down by a shitty starter motor.
-
Man I see Buy Right Cars has just flooded Trademe with these. Must be 2 or 3 pages of them. So nice though. Will look at getting one next year I think.
-
Isn't it a universal rule of thumb to replace a dual mass flywheel? Sounds like corner cutting. Not her fault though as she was probably not told this by the mechanic or poorly advised. Been there done that. Good on you for trying to help the new owner out.
-
Definitely the best group of racers. Even the biggest rivals are happy to lend a hand to each other. Good to hear nothing has changed. So strange having the Taupo round at this time of the year. Usually we are cooking in the Jan/Feb heat.

I wonder how much the laws will end up costing the country. Can imagine the investigations would be too costly much of the time. I don't think the number of Chinese students driving exotics wont decrease at all. You should have seen the Mclaren MP-1 crash at Hampton a few months back. 20 year old kid turned up. Gave it to his clueless mate. Nearly goes off Lap 1 Turn 1. Does go off Lap 2 Turn one. Tried braking after the 100m board doing 200+ in a road car.... Wrote it off.

Black Money from China. Is money they can't use in China. So it is smuggled out. Spent on luxury items. They are then sold 6 months down the line and returned to the families bank accounts. Well there is much more to the process. Best look it up.
