    Updating ipads.

    Andy's probably the best one to answer this, but one school I have as a client has several of these : http://store.apple.com/us_smb_78313/produc...tray-for-ipad-2
  2. I suggest 3 mile hill going up it or head to trotters gorge and back, that's quite a good drive through there.
  3. I didn't realize it was socially unacceptable to have your fog lights on, I never use my rear fogs unless ofcourse it's foggy, I have been guilty of putting them on when I had a car so far up my trumpet I couldn't even see his lights. I dislike tailgaters. I never have the front fogs on if it's pure daylight, but nearing dark I'm guilty of using them, or when visibility is poor.
  4. One of the most insane cars I've ever driven would have to be a SLK 55 AMG. An example of when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rambo start working in the German Automotive sector.
  5. Wheels & tyres new on that 7 are easily worth more than the car they're on. IMO that's a 7 ruined. Actually, maybe they were going to put the car as part as an exhibit?
  6. Visit My Website Never seen this one about, looks brilliant in red.

    2014 BMW X5

    I guess this was the case 10-20 years ago. Not so much now!

    2014 BMW X5

    You want to have a quick look to see what Ford parts are worth, you'd be blown away at their pricing, especially when you compare it to parts made by the same place sold in places like Repco, Apco e.t.c. Not 100% on this but the large SUV 200 series landcruiser and lexus equivalent (and absolutley horrid to look at btw) are glued together in the same factory I believe for the same markets.

    2014 BMW X5

    There is a percentage of people who sell a car after a few years at any rate & my father in law owns a 2012 Prado VX, it's been in half a dozen times for fueling issues, CD player has been replaced twice and something to do with the gearbox. It also sounds bloody awful especially at hard throttle at say 1500rpm. Also, when you shut the doors, the whole roof resonates as does the bonnet, suggesting the steel is paper thin. They aren't made with a quality feel, sharp edges on fixtures, handles, plastics that feel at home on your margarine container. One client with a 08-10 Hilux, gearbox replaced (was before 100kms) and fueling issues. Another mate with a 11 Hiace as a courier, fueling issues, rear suspension issues, 50kms. Toyota's "bullet proof" image is no more IMO. I'd rather own a Kia personally if I was to go Asian... at any rate, I am talking the new stuff here, yes I do agree 10-20 year old Hilux, Cruiser are good, but today, I'm not so sure.

    2014 BMW X5

    They kick off for an X5 standard model with the 180kw 540nm engine at 110k which IMO isn't bad when you consider a Landcruiser Prado is 107k which is fitted with engine technology instantly familiar to any 18th century industrialist develops 127kw and 410nm. The X5 also uses more than 1 litre less per 100, also a 5 speed auto on the Prado vs the X5's 8 speed. Actually, why are there so many Prado's on the road given that above? That's comedy. I like the new one, but I'd prefer the previous model performance or m50d version in white.

    The E90 was tucked away in the garage, should have had the E46 in the carport but when I started it in -3 degrees, it started normally, normal glow time, started straight away.

    I think that's only if a warranty is implied or given, and if it's a dealer and unless otherwise specified, you have 6 months.

    GLWS - Have you approached the seller for recourse? They may have sympathy. Bad luck though, what a sh*t.
  14. Looks like Highland green they put on the E53, awesome colour.
  15. I've always had a simple guideline. If it's 4 cylinder & you live in Dunedin, it's gotta be a manual. If it's a decent sized donk, then you can normally get away with the auto. I wouldn't have a 2 litre car here in Dunedin in an auto personally.

    Word. I'd drink heavily too if I owned a Harley.... ducks for cover...
  17. I'd say they have a fair way to go before that would be made. Still way to concepty looking IMO.

    If I'd emptied a Heineken bottle and filled it up with Krombacher, then he wouldn't have known the difference!

    Krombacher. Quite a bit bottle, not quite a big bot.
  20. I do hate to say it, but even tho it's only a 120i, it went quite good for what it was on the open road. It's only round town it's not so much fun. Roll on the CSL - if I could find one.

    hahaha I dropped round some German beer which he affectionately dubs "poofters beers" and he didn't like it at all. He's a man with a one track Heineken mind.

    There's a rumour going round that he likes Heineken...
  23. Here's another pic on a siding on the pig route this weekend.

    You're about 1km away from me, I'm in Stephen Street. EDIT: You're not Mike's son in law? You live just round the corner from him? The house looks familiar, met him there once but you guys must have been away.
