Seems like there's more to this story than is being let on, firstly the car is 8 years old, and it's not necessarily the sellers fault that "dodgy" repairs were carried out. I fail to see why he had to hand over 8k because the purchaser was unable to view & the purchaser went off the opinion pre purchase inspection, not the sellers, seems more the pre purchase inspectors that are mainly to blame here even if the inspection is a visual & non intrusive. Loose engine mounts is about the worst thing I can see there, either get a new one or repair? I can't see 8k's worth of work. Also, a car has be be declared as "imported damaged" when coming into NZ.

I've got about 40-60 people here on Saturday night, if it stacks itself it will probably be coming through his front window with a brick attached to it haha! I did toy with the idea of just going and buying new for 500 bucks, but for all it will be used, I just couldn't warrant the extra $300

I think the rugby will go for about 3 hours in total, should be ok at 600 hours burn time lol.

Anyone here know anything about them? http://www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-photo...n-627696235.htm have seen this one for quite a reasonable price? I'm just wanting something for the rugby on Saturday night! It probably won't be used again. Can that one only be used in the dark or? Trying to find info on them, is 600 hours a lot on one of these?

99% of ads fail unless they involve infant feeding devices. I watch quite a fair amount of overseas TV which don't have ads. I can't watch a movie on channel 2 or 3 because of the ads, it pisses you off. Understand they have to pay for broadcasting somehow, but I choose to ignore it.

Ahahaha, he's probably not a bad bloke & I hate to rubbish people but yeah, it was a shitty experience.

I just got off the phone to Chris Amon and he doesn't remember tuning that particular car lol - could it be a fake? If so it's only worth 15k at best?

I wonder what actual cost was involved to make that. Be under 10cents?

Yes mate, I guess not necessarily annoyed at the fact I had to go back several times, but the way I was treated the last time was inexcusable. You'd also think that upon my return with the receipt that they would give me someone else to deal with to avoid further conflict but no...

That's bloody funny sorry! But dodgy as if some kid gets a hold of them. I wish my wife would bring me home things like that. Mow ya bloody lawns! You could do a re-enactment of the Vietnam war in there lol!

Off to extreme hobbies today to get me a decent toy because I'm so rough on them lol. No the guy I dealt with was quite a small fella, the 2nd guy I dealt with had breath that smelt like a sewer & Australian accent. Not necessarily, the two types of cars were within the 7 day return period & if you bought something, took it home and didn't work out of the box, you'd be a little annoyed if you took it back for them to say that they have to send it away when they had dozens more in stock.

Well... I was asked to leave if I carried on swearing & raising my voice. Trouble was tho, is the guy behind the counter was yelling as well.. go figure. It was almost as if he knew every button to push. Just disgusted, ruined the whole day.

Haha, no Glenn. That's just because I have the same woman. Gotta have some variation in your life, in my case it can't be wife's so it's cars.

I'd be more than prepared to take the hit & source parts for it if I'd accidentally driven it at full speed into a wall or something, but I just didn't it was on slippery lino and doing probably less than 5kph. The two different cars I had were two different brands, the last one (RCTECH) - I have their choppers and I've hit poles with them and fences and they thank you for it.

Sorry to hear that. How is that lovely M50d going you lucky bugger?

Ok, so to cut a short story long here goes: Two weeks ago I purchased THIS - I got it home and it just wouldn't go - so I took it back, they gave me another one, sweet! Got it home & on the first charge (first use) it was going fine but it sounded like it was missing a tooth of one of the cogs by making a clicking sound. So I take it back and they said ok, we'll give you another one, I said no, how about THIS one, I paid them an extra $60 and we all sailed off into the sunset, wrong! Got the new one home and It went great for a few days, went bloody well until the steering servo gave up, it would go in a straight line but wouldn't turn, there was no damage it just died, so I take it back & they replace it with a new one, right I said, surely this is the end of my issues! Get a new one yesterday, get it home & on the first use I had it in the lounge and ran over one of the kids toys at about 5kph going from the carpet to the lyno, it decides then to blow the driveshaft. So I take it back; Ahh he says, you shouldn't have them inside, I said hang on, you can have it doing cartwheels and doing jumps at 30-40kph but you can't use it inside at 5kph? I told them the story if what it was doing when it broke and he said, hang on there's two different stories here; you said it was on carpet not linoleum, I said no, it was on carpet and the driveshaft broke on the lino (our kitchen is lino then goes to carpet) - he says is that the story you want to go with as if to say I was bullshitting them. I said look, I don't want a refund (at this stage I was getting pretty f**ked off) I just want something that works, I'm not rough, I certainly haven't used it in the manor portrayed in the YouTube video. He said that he didn't believe me, I said look at it, is there any bloody damage anywhere??? There wasn't! I said look, give me another car or a part to repair this one, he refused and said we're not confident that you are handling these with care, we refuse a repair/replacement and will give you a refund all the while giving a spiel about their company policy on returns, I said, I'd prefer a working replacement FFS! By that stage I was ready to kill his dog, I was pissed! During this, he was slamming his hand down on the desk stating that I've neglected the machine and that now they are left with the burden of repair/manufacturers replacement. They suggested that because things break under my care that I go and see a specialist hobby shop... that was the last straw. I lost me temper! I just wanted something that worked, I am not rough on things and I know not to expect excellent quality from a $100 and $160 dollar R/C car but I'd like it work for at least a few months not a few days!

Comedy Central.

For 20k it's a bogan, I mean bargain. Visit My Website

I'd personally stay away from an Auto, I had the manual sedan and it wasn't horrible but I did drive the Auto and it was dismal, most probably because of the Dunedin hills though.

IMO plates... This one isn't worth a knob of goat sh*t. Plates are always going to worth what someone is going to pay & in this case well.....

They used to, but they actually have a nice little rumble to them, especially under hard acceleration. The M550d tipple turbo sounds brilliant...

I'd take the E90 - remapped those things are weapons IMO. You can easily squeeze 750nm and 270kw and most probably reduced fuel consumption. Not sure if those figures are achievable on the F30? All said, the F30 is packing the latest & greatest, that engine from the E90 has been around since 2007 ish? That's a long time for BMW's lol. The new 335d will do the 0-100 in 4.8seconds. Read on a forum that the same engine in other series is re-mappable to 800+nm and 400bhp (300kw)

LOL @ the last question... I'd say about 3 working days.

It's called the clap if you were just in Queenstown.

The car looks great IMO, never seen one in white from memory & the contrasting black wheels sit tough.
