How many terrorists and gang members hold a FAL in NZ? How many firearms offences are committed by FAL holders yearly? How many firearms offences are committed by gang members yearly? Perhaps we can reflect on how licenced firearms owners must be one of the most law abiding segments of society. And how, just maybe, targeting them with more legislation and restrictions will change none of society's problems... Because they cause none of them.

Level 4 coming Saturday morning.

There is no appeasing the anti gun lobby. Their misrepresentations, rhetoric and political stirring make it clear the end game is no guns. I think you have it backwards Dave- if the public is scared, then the public needs educating. One firearms owner was paid out $1,041,000 in the confiscation, how does that make anybody safer. What licensed firearms owner has ever committed a crime with one of those scary black guns? Tarrant, who by police's own criteria ought to have been denied, and that's it. Isn't it odd, an AR15 type rifle is used to kill a policeman, it has a serial number that means it belongs to NZDF, and nobody- not the police, not any politician keen to keep us "safe", not the media, nobody- wants to say a damn thing. It tells me there is an agenda.

Interesting discussion for a car forum ?

"Nobody needs" isn't any kind of argument that makes sense, the appearance of a firearm has no bearing on it's lethality. Case in point, my old SKS was not military style and had a wood stock, yet was a military rifle and continues to be used very effectively by many (mostly unconventional) forces today. The firearms community were constantly on at police to change the rules so 30 round mags had to go onto an E cat licence but police said no it's too hard, all the paperwork and the cost of changing our systems and then getting it through parliament, it can't be done... But they were happy to put huge time and effort into banning pistol grips and other "military style" features that did diddly squat to the rifles function. It was even ruled by a judge that pistol grips are a safety feature. Registration is a joke, the system in Kapiti was hopelessly inaccurate and that was only looking after 6500 firearms owners, I believe after Christchurch they did a system update and lost everyones data surnames A through to G. Nevermind the constant court cases against individuals who are illegally accessing firearms owners information. As for AR15s, there is no better rifle for pest destruction. I believe police need to be replaced from arms act administration. They have had a go, some things have gone ok and many more have been fluffed. Create a seperate agency so their budget can't be robbed like PNHQ was doing with their firearms budget. Let police stick to their job- policing the rules, not creating them.

Hella SKU HEL-007760651, go to your friendly local auto electrician and/or Hella stockist and see if they can help. Old ones tend to fail and I have found Hella branded parts to be up to half the cost of BMW...

Who doesn't buy a BMW and immediately replace the entire cooling system??? ??

Sold it. Anybody got ideas on how I'll keep my driveway oiled now?

*cough*... Takes one to know one, right? ?

I put M stripes on it, I think that was an extra 5hp

Can you provide dyno defore/after figures?

Diesel facelift E53 X5 is probably your best bet. Any M-sport BMW is not really an option for practical people.

Well that was $40 well spent...

Had a new 8x8 Versatile installed at our old place, concluded they spent all their money paying Ritchie to appear in their ads and not on making a decent product.

You could try marketing E34 window switches for $2500 each, just add a note "to suit McLaren F1"

Does the car not currently have a multifunction steering wheel installed? I have "S710 M Sports steering wheel, multifunction" off your build sheet in front of me. Pass me that dummy, Stu...

What is your build date, and which of the M-sport wheels are you trying to fit? Also is the new steering wheel known to be working.

This car is proof positive Germany is still pissed about loosing the war. It deserves none of your respect, care and least of all any more of your money. Get rid of it.

The message is to not mix up correlation and causation... Which he then does by conflating human CO2 outputs with increased atmospheric CO2

Plus shortened shifter. Not sure where people get this stuff from.

Had a Totalspan shed built 6 years ago. It was contracted to a bit of a cowboy. Make sure it is one of their regular guys who builds it.

My Mrs wants a 7 seater, but I'm holding off until the last quarter of this year for this reason. I really can't see prices heading upwards for some time.

Don't give them ideas...

Be different, put an N46 in it. Oh, ok, I'll leave now...

Does it fit any particular rear bumper, or all of them?
