  1. Looks like a baby with a full nappy. Haha still cool though.

    E30 floor mats

    Anyone have a set of these, or even just the fronts? Am after good condition, pref heavy duty loop pile ones (the ones that are hard to vacuum!) cheers
  4. Haha i just get told that i look grumpy most of the time so I figure it's a good describer
  5. We have a 70 inch plasma that is over a year old, got given it when it was made reduindant by LED... which for the record is horrible to watch 3D on with venitian blinds anywhere in view..... they flash and shimmer like a bitch! need black out curtains over them..... Our tv seems in fine shape with no burn in or such yet
  6. probably me.. few alpina bits and a grumpy looking driver?
  7. I often see a slightly lowered e39 540i in a sort of light calypso red with style 5's around herne bay area...... Anyones on here? I think it used to belong to a douche customer at JCBMW when i worked there, and whenever i had to pick it up for fixing it smelt like curry and the front bumper was always hanging by a thread
  8. Absolutely agree. I regularly travelhome to the Bay of Islands from auckland where i live, and i feel that people who exist almost exclusively in the city arent quite aware of what a lot of idiots are doing out on the open road. However my argument is redundant as the campaign was for hoons in the suburbs. Nonetheless there are so so many 35 year old pricks in fast european cars who drive like idiots on the Auckland- North roads who want shooting. I dont think they can be taught- they are intelligent people who make the stupid decision to break the limits regularly with reckless disregard for other road users.
  9. Can't judge when I couldnt hope to think of somthing as original. Nice work. HAH.
  10. Does the saab 9000 roof fit? or is that just for the e28
  11. Hate to (/love to) through the proverbial spanner- but e30 era UK cars did not have a vin number crossed out.... they were built in a workshop just like if you want accessories put on your new RAV 4, it goes to Thames when it comes off the ship.
  12. I don't sense a tu ad. Surely we all realise by now that BMW's nomenclature isnt at all specific and hence is inherently misleading. Yes, the car seems to be a regular m325- but it would take a flat out liar to misquote a plainly stamped engine number with the cryptic alpina letters in it. The engines didnt come with that badge on top all of the time, in fact more commonly on the Australian cars. The digi gauge is also in line with this. If Bavarian Msport australia managed to get alpina bits and engines in new cars, i'm sure this person could have as well. A friend of ours had a plain- jane Gwagen pulled off the line in the early 80's and fitted with AMG engine and no other extra spec which is unusual, but the people at BMW and Merc are only human- it IS possible to mix and match.
  13. I think you mean the Daimler Limousine which was based on the MKX/420g... they made them up until the late 80's much like the mercedes 600
  14. I love finding cars like that! I prefer rundown cars to mint ones. The 420G was'nt succeeded by anything, but like all jags at the time it shared the basic XK engine. The XJ6 replaced the MkII/340/S-type. We recently bought a fully restored original low mileage 250 V8 saloon which is proving quite fun!
  15. I love the interior... ext is to a particular taste i suppose.... They did lycoming gas turbines in such boats in the mid- 90's until the fuel became too expensive and big very fast boats became unfashionable.... i suppose there is still a lot of money out there that can aford it though

    e30 325

    They have 20 spokes= correct amount... and yep they could come with bmw badges

    Audi S4

    I think the S6 was more common in manual compared to 4, but neither were common in manual compared to auto(in nz that is- grr). I have my eyes on an unloved S6 in parnell that lives out on the road.... Probably a basket case mind

    Audi S4

    The note was amazing- it used to make every bit of loose corrugated iron or tin within 5m reverberate

    Audi S4

    Looks to be lowered as well- mine was jacked compared to that

    Audi S4

    I had one of these as my last car- amazingly strong, upgradable engine, worth more than the car is actually. only 2 issues mine presented were worn front strut mounts (these are a heavy car) and dodgy auto- check system telling me that brake pads and rear brake lights were always out. REmoved beeper and bulb for this which took care of that! (system is seperate from engine check warnings) And replaced strut mounts. Odd that this one doesnt have an airbag, but at least its one less light to come on! I love these cars. Put the engine into an 80 quattro sedan edit: I pranged mine, panels drivetrain and lights are next to impossible to find as they are not shared with 100/A6
  21. Ask them to send you some? They are worthless in a monetary sense... tend to have silly modern slogans on them now too
  22. Oooo 60ish? it is a 2005 import, all colour coded dark metallic grey (charcoal?) with black leather sport seats heated and drivers elec
  23. Coincidentally I also have a gunmetal grey mk5 gti DSG with black leather for sale as well, both cars are otherwise going to be traded, they have offered $16 for the 1 and $17 for the Gti as trades.... :(
