Agree with Glenn. Jonno can do you an awesome deal on very good tyres.

That's it guys. One of those days when I'm closing the yard early. Off home for some Beer, Bourbon and Belles, not necessillary in that order. And Shelly, the Bimmersport clock is three hours slow.

11/04/2008, 2:45 PMBMWCancelled: BMW CS Concept won’t see production Shortly after unveiling its CS Concept, BMW announced plans to build a production version code named ‘Gran Turismo.’ But today the automaker announced it has been forced to cancel the project, which was expected to be on sale in the next two years under the 8-Series nameplate. Speaking at a press conference early Tuesday, BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer said profitability has to become a new focus at the German automaker in light of declining sales and a global finical downturn. “The sharper focus on profitability will result, amongst other things, in product decisions being revisited,†said Reithofer. “As a result, the BMW Group will no longer produce a series version of the Concept CS since this vehicle does not meet the internal requirements for rates of return.†“All our actions are based on careful consideration and foresight. It does not make sense to build up stocks which are bound to reduce our revenues later on,†he said. “We also have a commitment to our dealerships and the well-being of the company.†The production CS was being worked on exclusively by the company’s M division. A 6.0L V12 based on the M5’s V10 was rumored to be the car’s top engine choice. Earlier this year, BMW reportedly cancelled plans for a new M1 supercar. BMW_CS.bmp

Thanks guys. "Don't get slammed"........................ yeah right Glenn! Party at my place this afternoon, so if you make it Glenn. you can get slammed with me.

Mike, as I said earlier New Zealand did not have an Auto making industry, we only ever had assembly plants.

I was sent this game and was told I would have trouble playing it if I was drunk. Goddam it I can't even do it sober. So come on, have a go and see how far you get. http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html

Thanks a lot for that Josh.

A couple of months ago Glenn advertised on this forum 50 litres of race fuel for sale. I did phone him last night and he still has it but couldn't remember how much he wanted for it. Told me to search the forum for it, so after 10-15 minutes of unproductive searching I give up. Can anyone help me to find the thread please.

Did I send you that Glenn?My fingers must have slipped on the keyboard.

Just a pity you can't see their faces.

It's been over 40 years since I was last there Glenn and I believe it has changed a hell of a lot since then, so it's not much use asking me. The local population are ok but practice your motor scooter riding skills before you leave.

That is absolutely discusting Glenn. You need to be censured for posting such filth on the forum.

Sorry Shelly, but it does nothing for me. Now go and find one with girls in it and I'll forgive you for posting this one.

"Thanks Rotty. I grew up with NZ assembled Toyota’s that were reliable and cheap, I still own a NZ assembled Toyota’s and it will outlive me! I guess I just like to remember the days when NZ had a car industry, I fell very proud driving my Corolla, much prouder than I would driving a cheap skate pretentious import “luxury†refuge vehicle." The only car industry NZ ever had was purely an assembly industry, we did not manufacture cars in NZ.

Welcome to bimmersport Joe, hope you enjoy yourself here. Your BMW is an E36 model. First thing any new member here must do is post some pics of your car.

Actually Bravo, I have just reread this item and I think you might be a little confused. The way I read it is the new motor has 12% larger turbos and I think that the difference in output is the difference between the standard motor and this new one with bigger turbos. Thats the way I read it.

Hey Dean, if you were at "Glenns" today then I assume you are from east or south Auckland. We have a meeting every third Thursday of the month at Garrisons Sylvia Park starting around 7.30pm. Come along and meet a few of the guys.

Nice looking E36 Dean. I just love them especially ///m's but then again I'm prejudiced.

Welcome Dean, looking forward to seeing the pics of your car, and where abouts are you from?

If it was all right for our last Prime Minister to speed just to get to a test match, then why shouldn't our police speed too. Mind you it was probably traing for driving in high speed pursuits.

Aaah, but think of all the great cars you would get to drive.

What's wrong with being 'slammed' with a big pipe at the back? How do you think they make compacts?

All of you here that are complaining about imports,................................ diddums! You should be thankful for them, because if it weren't for Japanese imports, most of you would be riding bicycles because you wouldn't be able to afford a Beemer let alone a reasonable late model cars.

Helen the farmer was in the fertilised egg business. She had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets' and eight or ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilise the eggs. The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of her time so she bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to her roosters...... Each bell had a different tone so Helen could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now she could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. The farmer's favorite rooster was old Winston, and a very fine specimen he was too, but on this particular morning Helen noticed old Winson's bell hadn't rung at all! Helen went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover but to farmer Helen's amazement, Winston had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Well Helen was so proud of Winston, she entered him into the Karori County Fair and Winston became an overnight sensation among the judges. The Result. The judges not only awarded Winston the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly Winston was a politician in the making: Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. I wonder do you know a Politician called Winston? .............

A special thanks to Brian for the bottle of "Don"..went well with the crayfish I had for dinner Crayfish!!!!! The perfect accompanyment to Dom Perignon.
