  1. I doubt Gregg won't like the colour too much! Looks good for the money!

    I just love the Harvey Abnormal ads where they advertise an i5 laptop with a 500GB HDD (not SSD) with 16GB RAM - it just makes no sense.

    Laptops

    Good processor but a DV6 is classed as a consumer based machine, I've always found ProBook upwards, Elitebook if you can justify it are far more solid and far better built. I've got this Elitebook here but has had a 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM installed. Runs very well, ultra stable and durable. I bought this 12" laptop because I actually wanted a laptop, I find the 15.6" laptops too big to have on your lap, and prefer the extra portability of a 12" Just don't get them or order anything, only buy what they have in stock as that's where most of the complaints come from with PB, they take yonks for things to arrive. As I said, if it's $1000 you're spending, get a Toshiba with an Intel Processor, might be able to squeeze a i5 CPU for that dosh. You'll only get 4GB for that price, but for an extra 60-70 dollars you should be upgraded to 8GB.

    So my advice would be listen to people who repair laptops, not necessarily people who sell them. I base my sales on the reliability of laptops. For 1k, go a entry level business class Toshiba C850. Reasoning: Toshiba are reliable, HP are too but you won't get a decent HP for 1k, Presario's and consumer based HP's are sh*t, Acer are unreliable and have seriously useless turn around times for parts. I doubt you are going to find a laptop with a SSD for $1000. Agree with Hybrid, 2nd gen i5 CPU wise, don't go for AMD because in laptops they are generally sh*t and run hot compared to Intel. Samsung: bahahahaha, no. Sony: ROFL - no Apple tryhards with expensive parts and slow turn around times for parts I sell HP and Toshiba for a living, the only other brand I'd consider is Asus but you won't buy a decent Asus for 1k If you have a PB Tech up your way, use them, in my experience I wouldn't recommend any consumer based laptop, business class machines tend to be more reliable.
  5. Agreed, but she'd be ok to drive every now and then but you wouldn't sign the ownership papers and inherit 3 random kids. Are you able to provide a picture of this single mum you speak of?
  6. Visit My Website Seems a reasonable price, looks good in red!

    Agreed, like Australia which has 3rd party built into your registration.

    "My Family"

    For the truck to punch all that sh*t up at only 50kph seems a little hard to imagine. Was he fully loaded? I'm picking 1.2 million in damages/loss of earnings. The person who caused the crash can now have this on their desktop below :

    "My Family"

    Bloody hell! How fast was the truck going? Is it a 100kph area? Never knew you had an X3! Is it the new MSpec?
  10. Yeah but look at the price, 6500 ono! If it was 12k I'd demand a low km NZ new model black on black

    V8 e30

    Nice conversion, should have put it in a 318is or Motorsport, bit boggy standard?
  12. "We had to relist the vehicle because the winning bidder couldn't come up with the funds" What a bugger! And because there's a buy now used there's a warranty as well huh?
  13. Unless it has a warranty I'd stay away from any Audi, unless it's an original Audi Quattro then it's allowed to cost you money lol. I've been driving a 13 year old import Terrano for the past month and it's been back at the shop twice since I bought it, I bought it with the idea of using it offroad and to hack around with but I've ended up using it as my daily as I haven't replaced my X5 as yet. IMO BMW is just reliable, I've had far few problems with BMW ownership than I have with Japanese in general and Audi, Mercedes e.t.c. Stick with BM!
  14. Let's have a wee look at it; if it was only a $500 fix (apparently) then why the hell wouldn't they just do it to provide a better sale for themselves? If you're keen on it, put it to them; get the issue professionally diagnosed then we'll talk on $$$ This is how I'd attack it.
  15. Not a massive amount of these about Visit My Website Rare in red, 318is spec, manual and NZ new. Could be a buy for someone?
  16. Looks good in red and rare being NZ new and manual, but I'm fairly sure SE means special equipment.
  17. I've now had 2x remapped X5's and not a problem on either, admittedly the 2nd one I don't did 12,000km but the first one I'd done 35,000km The M57TUD30 engines are very reliable and handled the extra power with ease.
  18. IMO there should be some variety in the calendar, not just full of E30's (that hell rot Alpina from CHCH) although there's some damned good pics in this thread. Possibility of X series, 8 series? I'll chuck up pics of my two favorite X5's I've had.
  19. What the.... Is he off his meds?

    No one has

    I'm glad you had time to drop in at 6:07am and spam that one!
  21. It is now high time that you bought an X5. The only reason I said to get a warranty before you bought it was because I've had Audi's before and they are not cheap to repair. I remember I was at a funeral and forgot to switch my phone off the car dealer calls up two months after I sold them my Audi B6 S4 and he said the engine had lunched itself (he left a message ofcourse lol), uncle had and still has a B6 S4 convertible and it blew the engine at only 40kms - speculate it was more than 20k to replace. I kinda find this hard to believe, I mean, it would be like 5-10% of diesels that are remapped/superchipped? They'd have to be doing a shitload of late model diesels to notice this?
  22. If he'd D/C it 3k then you shouldn't have much to worry about IMO! What price & pics?

    A green box of Heineken did the first sentence lol.

    Senna is on the movie channel this month. The movie is nothing short of brilliant/amazing. Even tho he's gone he's not just a driver he's a machine. Edit: The first sentence was done by approximate 12 bottles of Heineken.
