    My Quote Of The Day

    Honda’s always get a hard time.. If a old Honda V-Tech was a human it would have turrets syndrome, you’re driving along quite nicely and all of a sudden the dam car goes crazy and becomes quite offensive embarrassing you. Buuur, buuuur, buurAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

    Your plate is crooked Makes me wish I hadn’t have just forked out for new 15†rubber and waited for some 17†Alpina reps.
  3. 95 for me, Shell has Flybuys. 98 if its a Turbo im driving.
  4. This stuff is awesome.. My neighbours built a new house since the photo was taken, would suck if you were looking out for the old one in the photo. Im Stoked, they must have taken it within a week of me painting my front wall and mowing the laws and doing g the gardening.. House looks good!

    Seems like an ok price, could be good for a beginner racer or someone on a budget. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-189727691.htm Would get some if it weren’t for Christmas and a current project.
  9. About right if you ask me as it is a facelift and has leather that’s what the L means. The car was 50+k new.
  10. I brought mine without doing any research into what was coming out in the near future and really felt cheated in a short time, guess by “future proof†I meant spend a little extra as a TV is something you keep for say 5-10 years and you don’t want to fell like upgrading in a few short years. Next time I will be doing a lot of research and spending a bit more. I can sagest not buying LG Plasma, im not sure if they have changed but my old man purchased one back in the day then they were like 10k and his was nothing but trouble.
  11. Sony 100% for me, but im a fanboy. My advice if you have cash is to head to the Sony Office factory shop in Mt Eden, considerable savings to be made. Worth a look, I found out about the place a few weeks after purchasing mine and kicked myself ever since as I could have saved near a grand. I have a 42†LCD and it is fantastic all be it a bit old, best to look for one with “future proof†features.
  12. I was just trying to give you a tip or two, wasn’t having ago The Water Magnate can dry a whole car in 5-10 minutes without a single wring out, a microfiber cloth is useless for drying a car, it pushes water around if anything. A Polish like Mothers or Meguiars wont damage your paint unless you do something completely retarded, applying wax without a decant clean (paint cleaner or clay bar) and a polish is like clear coating a car without painting it, the wax is simply there to enhance and protect what’s underneath.

    Iron Maiden

    12 tones of stage equipment, massively loud heavy metal.. It’s going to be the concert of a lifetime for me, not sure if many younger guys are into it but Maiden are known for putting on the best concerts in the world!! Enthusiasm. Gunna be masive!
  14. Try a Meguiars Water Magnet of you want an easy dry, Follow off with a detailer and the microfiber cloth. Will look like that for months if you do it weekly. Branded Microfiber cloths are good but if you go through them like I do say 12 a month, try Godfries (s)the vacuum cleaner shop, they are about 10% the price of the named brands. A polish before a wax is a good idea, it gets rid of scratches and swirl marks and brightens the paint before the protective wax coat. Also, wax is easiest to apply by hand, like literally on your hands, rub on, leave for an hour then rub off. My Old man had a E39 when they came out in that same colour so I had the pleasure of keeping it clean for him, was a very satisfying colour to work with, not as boring as silver but not as hard work as black.

    Got Diamond Tickets to the Mosh Pit!!!! f**k yea. That’s all.
  16. Can’t see much in the pictures.. Did you polish it first, or did you just rub in heaps of wax Waxing a car should only take 20 minutes if you’re not fussed on the time you leave it to set. Edit bravo: removed repost of pictures
  17. Where are you located.. If Hotwire isn’t keen I can recommend someone in Auckland.

    Thanks

    They are hot, Silver with red leather is nice. One on Trade-Me As Clowson sais, the Mondeo is a brilliant car… Wish our Vectra had a Turbo like that one, looks nuts!! Can verify that they don’t handle that well, I would describe the Vectra as more than adequate but about as dynamic as a meat cleaver. Good cruisers, the Mondeo is in a different league.

    Looks hot bro, well impressed!! Stick your front plate on with double sided moulding tape, sound rangi but that’s exactly what I have done on a couple of cars in the past and it looks sh*t hot as there are no screws. Won’t ever come off is the only problem.

    WANTED

    Yep, looks like fun.. Shame they didnt go with a bling BMW.
  22. Lots different. You must see what they are aiming at and the level they have raised the bar over a normal M-Tec car. What did BMW offer on the E30?? A Kit.

    Thanks

    Good stuff mate they are awesome cars had a race with my mates bosses threw Onewhero when I had my Astra and I couldn’t pull away through the corners.. What colour did you go for?? I wanted the missus to get one but there were none available up here so we went with its competition, the Vectra CDXi or GTS/GSI as its known in Europe.
