  1. Had a look at the new ranger at Mystery Creek Feildays, Very very nice. Alot more room in the back compared to the current model as well. That orange also looks really good in the flesh.

    If you follow a few of the STX Navara's you will notice that some of the older ones are starting to smoke under load.


  2. Theres been quite a few 540is around that price range, really good buys including some Estates, which are rare. I think they have all sold in the last few weeks.

    If I didn't have my money tied up with my project I would have got one, but such is life.

    Guess it's just a waiting game! Good luck.

    You should start up a thread c/w pics of said project.

    Have read bits here and there but would be great to see the whole thing.


  3. Hey PJay,

    That car has been thrashed, it was a previous owner on here, although I'm not sure if it was him that did the thrashoing. Nick posted a link to Max on facebook of the car doing skids, I thought I recognised it from somewhere. Plates seemed to have changed though.

    Edit: Here -

    Hasn't almost every E30 either been thrashed or done skids?


  4. Um, gotta add my story here! i'm gunner get one if I ever go on a long haul again, I don't spped around town, maybe 140 at night on the freeway, if it's quiet...

    But last year I drove from south of Perth to Onslow, 1500km's in 12 hours.

    I only exceeded the speed limit a couple of times, all the way from Geraldton to Carnarvon, then there to Onslow...

    180-200km/h. long desert roads..

    BUT I GOT CAUGHT a few weeks later, 167km/h just cruising from Onslow to Karratha, cop car behind a road train. then the same cops, same place on the way home 127km/h, cos I saw them...

    $1000 fine, impounded 28 days, They let me drive back to Onslow! 6 month disqualification.

    valentine 2 Is about $1000 or close.

    But the coppers here are using lasers now.

    They are charging about $1600 from memory for a set of reversing sensors mounted by your No. plates to block the laser!

    The old radar guns and speed cameras are being pushed out to regional WA, country towns, the lasers are for the flash cops in the city.

    Now they are introducing cameras under overpasses which time your journey, if you come in under time, you get a fine!

    Just nail it after the last overpass and take the next off ramp, if I wasn't a responsible mature age driver..

    Cheap radar detectors, no such thing, plenty of videos on ewe tube etc doing comparisons, handy thing called the interweb, they do all the research for you. Me I'm not gunner bother!

    Hmmm. Just Crusing huh??


  5. I can recommend Terry's Panel Shop in New Plymouth, Looks like nothing when you go there but the guys workmanship is top stuff. I had shitloads of work done on my old ST220 Mondeo done there, I wanted it looking perfect and it did when they were finished with it.

    Would go back in a heartbeat, They take alot of pride in there workmanship and do not charge the earth.
