Yacht racing and old boats

Nope Emmas was NI and then 3 letters, definitely wasn't my initials

Are any of these 8s the ones that Ian and Jimmy Ross bought back from holiday in Europe in the old days? They own my workplace and I was being told how one got damaged not long into the Euro trip so instead of getting it fixed he bought another one and kept going

Cool project, have always loved the 6. Modern wheels looks gross, period weaves etc look best or at a push throwing stars on a non- metallic colour coded car. Converting the interior to black? Should look neat if no spraying involved

Removed towbar bolts?

It is an M3, an M3 with a 325i engine which is easily discovered and would presumably be described at first chance. There would be no 'reasonable' situation where a sale agreement was made imagining it still as a more valuable 3L car.

WOW.

Only Dakar in NZ? I have a photo somewhere of the Dakar one mum drove for a while in 1998....

I had an E46 318i sedan auto and it used piss all fuel. Very economical

Not long ago, higher km 8's were cheap as anything.... are they changing hands at high prices now? or just listed as

Hideous vinyl

Probably not much deterioration at all, contrary to what many people would say. Just a decent check over and freshen up I reckon.

Nice! When I was at school a mate's mum had identical colour, with the plate GT 03. It was pretty sick for a northland car!

Beaut. The e36's square angles on the raked body form will make for a modern classic in colour/engine combos as yours

Shipping offices push ships to take chances, the captain is put under a lot of pressure.

No more gutless than a BMW, just different. In fact pretty bloody awkward really but it's just how they feel, not the actual power. There's that huge amount of slack travel in the accelerator pedal and also the auto starts off in 2nd gear.

Bizzarrini GT

Wow! I will definitely get this place to do my seats

That was just along the beach from me, very nice colour!

Who cares about the vin? It's clearly a B5. Beaut colour too.

Are your and her professions in demand there?

Off- topic section due to marine application, A boat I am restoring has a short length of driveshaft automotive style with a UJ at each end. Flange to flange would be about 750mm with one end to a flange on a Velvet Drive output and the other to a flange on an inch diam shaft. On the aft UJ where the 2 flanges couple, it has corroded badly removing about 10mm of steel from the radius in one area. The while shaft has surface rust which I was going to have stripped before I found the damage. What is the most cost- effective process of me ending up with a good unit? Should I get someone like ADL to make me up a whole new shaft with UJs? or do I pillage a driveshaft from a car and get it shortened someone that does this? Help appreciated. I'm in Auckland. Cheers

Nice car though! A hartge engined one went for about 2k a couple years ago Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk

316i's are now desirable due to them not having suffered a life of thrashing or neglect, until now. I've had 2 316i 2 doors both 1 owner and both in near new condition, but when I wanted bigger better I sold them on and bought bigger better as- is.
