Welcome, e30 cabs are the shizzle.

I did my PPL back in the day with Waitemata Aero Club at Ardmore and at Kaipara Flats. Back then the way to CPL was by PPL - CPL at a club, log free hours instructing (get paid a pittance, but at least you get log book time) then hope for a chance at Coconut Palm Airways or the like. Air NZ wouldn't look at you 'till you'd lived through a couple of years flying clapped out old twins in Vanuatu etc. Nowadays the more popular route is the University way, but I still reckon you can't go past the old way of doing it. Talk to your local club and see what they reckon. I still miss it sometimes, but in the end, when the family came along it just got too expensive to keep current so I had to give it away......sigh.

Sup H, rotaz da shiz. Word.

2005 SV6. 135,000 k's and climbing. Total repairs to date - one 02 sensor. Me happy.

Shouldn't this be in the "Friday Funnies" posts?

The outcome!! pulled it out this arvo and cracked up Simon

Yeah thanks, I haven't even looked at it - just hooked the rope to my ute and dragged him home, but I'm wondering whether it might just have snapped off a selector fork or something - which would explain why it was as unspectacular as he said. Here's hoping anyhow.

Yeah, that's what I would have thought, although if your reverse gate spring is getting weak it can (and obviously does!) happen. The closest I ever got to it was driving my 351 XD Panelvan back in the day and forgetting I was in the auto not the manual, coming to a corner I went for the old downshift, stamped on the brake and slipped the trans up into reverse. Just about forward rolled the thing and I sure was suddenly wide awake.

No, it's his car (My son's e36 328)

It's obviously "box out" day tomorrow, I just wondered whether anyone knew if it was likely to be a complete strip down (or more likely, a new box) or is there a shear pin type gizmo that may have just let go on the input shaft?

Yeah I guess. Apparently it was quite unspectacular, just a quick "pop" then nothing.

By the way, "Hypothetically" has a name, and it's not me - but I have just towed said hypothetical car back home......

Hypothetically speaking, what would break if someone were to engage reverse at 100km? Getrag 220

Can confirm my last tank of gas i got 59.6L and 607km so better than 10L/100km in a manual 328i with auto diff and not trying for a fuel mileage record by any stretch of the imagination.

I've included some grammatical assistants for future use. , , , , ' ' ' '

Dear BadBM. I think your car may be on fire. I suggest you exit immediately and retreat to a safe distance.

Woah stealth!

The funny thing is he has "His M3" - and his is an M3, a real one, red like a fire engine. They lve at Omaha. I guess he sold her on the idea of matching cars(!) and she hasn't noticed that his is just that little wee bit faster and cost just a couple of bucks more....

Just noticed I posted this on my son's account. It was me, not him. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Ha ha - I wonder if he'll be sober this time. I remember one other time he played here and he was so trashed he could hardly stand, let alone perform.

Ok, I submit you before photo. I hope to grow beautiful big face hairs. Make my man like me too much. After one month I hope to have face like view of donkey walking away.

Polish ya big lips

Had the same problem - The bonnet pins have slotted ends to take a flat bladed screwdriver. I managed to get a screwdriver up through the hole from underneath with the kidney grills out and just unwind the bonnet pin from the bonnet. Easy peasy, as I recall.

Who owns the stunning Black e30 M3 pulling out of Puhoi onto SH1 this afternoon? I was the guy in the convertible who almost drove off the road...... Also saw Pjay's e36 on the Harbour Bridge early Friday afternoon. I had to cover my eyes and look away 'coz the fluoro rims were burning my retinas. Looked good though.....

The strut tops are about 20mm offset, they look to be to rectify castor, my camera is dead at the moment. Any idea on the cost of getting them rebuilt/tested? So the change in castor will do what to the handling? Edit; whoops dads account
