  1. Man/ Auto and where abouts? Great deal, I'd have bought it but just picked up a hack 4 days ago
  2. Have you tried replacing the engine? I just want to know when you're changing your profile pic
  3. Suggest you try the dealer, probably $1 each.
  4. Got a price for top radiator hose for E30 320 facelift, $92 dealer, $220 Ripco before shipping.....
  5. The NOS probably makes more sense than filling your tyres with nitrogen...
  6. Yeah it spent a bit of time in Hoffman Ford's showroom, tucked away in sleepy ol' Pahiatua
  7. Just leave it out overnight in Otahuhu, it'll be painted for free.
  8. Dan is right, I had Baycorp after me for a while because they were sure I was someone else. You could always ring the number and f**k with them
  9. ANCAP adds points for having electronic safety features/ driving aids- so it's possible to have a car that protects it's passengers better being awarded a lesser score than a car that has alphabet soup. Their argument is the alphabet soup is more likely to stop you crashing in the first place. SAAB rigs a car up so it flips down the road, and they also drop it, upside down, onto it's roof. Safety is something the Scandinavians do, I'm sure Ovlov does something similar to the flip test.
  10. SAAB's are safe cars. True, you'll probably avoid a lot of accidents due to the car being broken down too, but that's besides the point. Ever seen their moose/ drop upside down onto roof test?
  11. I can remember getting new cars and making the two hour drive to Wellys just to visit that tunnel.
  12. Don't know what kind of supermarkets you guys have up there but I've never spent $1k on chips before
  13. Sweet ride, glad to see you have upgraded from the E65
  14. If he wants economy, maybe he should be looking at a Corolla? Sorry, couldn't resist
  15. Love what you've done with the rocker cover
  16. That's a good point, I understand the 525i was nearly as quick as the M5.
  17. Haha that's awesome, you even have photos! Clinton, I hear that you can't consider yourself a true enthusiast until you own an Alfa Also I reckon for the money, a SAAB might be a good bet too.
  18. Clinton- what made you choose the Volvo over say, an E60?
  19. Sam- go 6 cylinder. Nobody does much with the 4cyl engines because there's just no point. Unless your name is Steve Murch, anyway.
  20. OT maybe, but Ron- how do you get on with the X5s centre of gravity?
  21. 60ha around Whakatane/ Te Puke + 250 cows- $4m odd Audi RS6 V10 for the Mrs- 70k E39 M5 for me- 40k 2x E36 M3, one for me, one for brother 1- 35k Tatra V8 for brother 2- ????k House for the olds (if they'll let me )- 600k Tractor/bike/misc farm gear and expenses- the remaining 150k
