  1. Yeah I do agree, Only just started taking pictures a few months ago. I havent taken any classes on it or anything so Im just going through the stage of trial and error and mucking round with the pictures of photoshop, being colourblind doesnt help though, but I'll keep trying
  2. I love you gus. Night pictures are way too hard to take, but meh I guess you gotta practice. Photoshop always helps to make some pictures a little better Umm they possibly are Waikumete.
  3. Im not a photographer but do like to go out and take pictures, mainly cars. I needed a camera that took photos in RAW for uni and it needed to be cheap so I got a FujiFilm S6500fd for about $800 and takes mint pictures. I'll post up some of the pictures I've taken with it

    Damn, and I thought we slipped past without been seen
  5. Hey Buddy, welcome Anyone else digging the pinstripes as much as me?
  6. Some how I dont think your headlights for my leather is a fair trade, just quietly, Sorry alex hah.. Im going to give the lights a clean inside and out in a sec. Was just wondering what some opinons are.. I had to buy a new parklight bulb today as one blew and was looking at the other H1 bulbs for my headlights and I have come across some 12v100w 7500k bulbs, which in theory is twice as powerful as what I have now. So what Im asking is would these be something I should buy and try out or go all out and get a HID upgrades. Obvuiously I do want to do a HID upgrade, yet it perfer to find a cheaper alternative for now. Let me know what you reckon Cheers.
  7. Hmm yeah that could be a job for me to do tommorow, Yeah I've heard most e30 headlights are genrally all quite dull but mine are almost unnessersarily dull
  8. I need to get a new set (by new I mean ones that work properly) of ellipsoid headlights for my E30 as my head lights are massivly dull on the drivers side so thought if anyone knew of anywhere or have a set of FL headlights and preferbly the 'smiley' type ones would be awsome. As the ones I have now are pretty useless and have a stupid reflector thing built into the drivers side. Anyone who can help out give me a yell. cheers
  9. I saw one of these today on the motorway weaving in and out of traffic, damn awesome
  10. I got my cambelt from Euro-itlaian and Graham (bravo) did it all for me, with no problems at all although we did borrow a part form the 327 eater but that was no issue hah
  11. Those are deffinatly Bottles, the picture in the newpaper is different and gives a pretty clear shot. Happend in my suburb too... havent seen a tech 2 around though
  12. Yeah mine are real dim too makes driving on a open highway difficult its better off driving with no lights on...
  13. I was going to get a 190e before I got my 325, they are awesome cars just make sure you get one with a good service history and all that
  14. I really dont know aye, I just got sent it a little while ago and wasnt told anything and I asked and they said they got sent it, my guess is its fake or some serious man on dog love went down
  15. Its worse if you look at the baby one on the lefts face and the mother things hands and hair only on its head
  16. Got this sent to me from a mate, looks like a dog at first and then it starts to look more, human?
  17. So I thought I'd share with everyone what I do for a job, well when Im not at uni or anything. Some might find it kind of interesting to see what gets done to a new car before it hits the showroom floor, and there is more to it than one would think. Firstly we receive the car(s) from the transporter fresh from the docks, they get checked over by my watchful eye to spot any paintwork scratches or dents which is usualy quite difficult. This is because when we recieve a new BMW they come coated in a thick wax to prevent such damage occuring during trasit. As far as I know all BMW's come coated in this except for the X5 and a few 7-series' The car I used to show you guys is a 2007 BMW 530i sitting on 1km Then put it in the wash bay - and clean up the wheels and turn on the water blaster and let it heat up with the chemicals. Pictures of the wax on the body The car gets rinsed with a mix of chemicals and boiling water The engine bay, around the trunk and door jambs all get waterblasted to get rid of excess wax This is what the car looks like after is has been rinsed and the wax removed befroe it gets washed And after its wash And when it is dry Finally, after it has been washed and dried off in the wash bay, it gets moved to the other room where the plastic covers gets removed from the seats and everything is wiped over with a fomula and usually most people get thier cars Gaurd X'd which is a treatment we do on the interior and exterior to protect it. And finally it stays sitting in the room waiting for it to be gas'd and delivered or in this case gets chucked into the showroom. But here it is waiting to be moved to be gas'd and put on display And there you have it, did not take as many pictures as I could have but you get the idea
  18. I think anyone who sits in the back of a E30 nearly has thier head touching the roof. I do want one of thses glass sunroofs though. But not so much at the cost of a arm and a leg knowing its rarity.
  19. Also I spotted 7 BMW's in the movie, see if you can spot them haha although come to think of it most of the euro's in the film were crushed or thrown, like the 740 and a E-class and a new ML
  20. I just got back from seeing it now, f**king sick movie! its awesome, I want to see it again... maybe tommorow
  21. I vote Helen. Intrest free student loans FTW!
  22. I need to lower the X3. So it can become a 325. So i need some lowring springs, Legit non-illegal ones. I still enjoy turning corners with ease so not too low. If anyone one of you have some please let me know. Cheers
  23. They are pretty awesome wheels, but on a E39 I dont think they will look too good, as a E39 is a big car and those spokes are quite skinny and widely spaced would make it look a little odd, I could be wrong though. But they would look good on a E36 or E46 coupe. Do these remind anyone else of Pre FL E36 M3 wheels?
  24. SE's are wicked for the one you are talking about in particular will I'd pay anywhere between 4 - 6k on it. What everyone needs to remeber is a car is only worth what any individual is prepared to pay for it.
