And you're complaining?The second hand Japanese import industry has been the best thing that has happened to the New Zealand motoring industry. Most of you on this site wouldn't remember what it was like before the Jap imports started. N.Z. new cars were the poverty pack versions and very highly priced, then along came the imports with power steering, electric windows, air conditioning etc. and about half the price of the NZ new equivalants. You guys would not be able to afford your E28's E30's etc if we didn't have the imports. I will admit some dodgy cars were brought in by some unscrupulous dealers, but the majority of us dealers are honest people striving to make a living, and selling the best possible cars that we can get.

Don't you mean a Vauxhall, Graham?

Yes mate I've heard about the cops up your neck of the woods.I believe there is one female officer who can be lethal with her ticket book.

First off arros you couldn't find Hammer Auctions because they no longer exist. Secondly Graham, no offence taken. Thirdly, you can buy well from a dealer these days, eg I have just last week sold a 1998 528i with 96,000kms on the clock, a nice car for just under $8,000.00. edit(bravo) - get my name right lol!

Isn't cunnilingus the national airline of Ireland?

No it hasn't slipped through, I had to wait till I got work to post anything. Happy Birthday "Glenn", have a great day and all the very best for the year ahead.

Thanks mrE34 but I am putting headers and a full length twin pipe system on my car so one in/ one out would be no good.

If Otahuhu is not too far away for you, I can recommend Peter Groves of Topline Auto Panel & Paint. Pukeiti St. Ph.276 3816.

It might be a disgusting thing to say but, I predict that Obama will die in office. There are too many White supremists and rednecks in the US for this not to happen. A plot has already been uncovered but those were just young fools, but wait till the more organised groups like the KKK start making plans. Then Obama will find himself in trouble. BTW I am an Obama fan but I am also being realistic.

Thanks for that info.I have spoken to Gavin but he didn't mention he was the agent, so that is something I will have to discuss with him tomorrow. Gavin is going to do before and after Dyno's on my car and remap it in the next couple of weeks, so that being the case he might as well fit the muffler at the same time.

1936 Stainless Steel Ford Coupe This is the 1936 Ford Coupe built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel. It was featured in a local parade. This is 1 of only 4 in existence and is the only one currently in running & in roadworthy condition. The car is in exceptional condition, with the interior and even the frame looking great. All 4 cars each had over 200,000 miles on them before they removed them from service. These cars were built for Allegheny as promotional and marketing projects. The dies were ruined by stamping the stainless car parts, making these the last of these cars ever produced. The top salesmen each year were given the honour of being able to drive them for one year. The V-8 engine (max 85 hp) ran like a sewing machine and was surprisingly smooth and quiet. FYI, the car was insured for the trip to Louisville via covered trailer for 1.5 million dollars.

Bump this for anyone who might have a Remus for sale.

Happy Birthday from me too Graham. A little dickybird told me we have another forum members birthday on Monday. This could be interesting.

I am looking for a Remus muffler to fit my E36 2.5ltr. coupe. I want one with two in and two out, in good condition. Does anyone here have one that they don't want, PM me with the details, price and contact details. Thanks, Brian.

A platoon of kiwi soldiers was patrolling north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an kiwi soldier in a similar but less serious state. The soldier was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the Platoon Commander asked the injured kiwi what had happened. The soldier reported, 'I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent.' We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved. He yelled back that Winston Peters is a bureaucratic, good-for-nothing, left wing labor dickhead who knows bugger all about running a country.' 'So I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian!' He retaliated by yelling, 'Oh yeah? Well, so does Helen Clark!' 'And, there we were, in the middle of the road, laughing, shaking hands, when the bloody truck hit us.'

There is nothing stopping you from going to nanother inspector for your WoF. Just because one place has failed you, you are still entitled to go to another inspection place to do your Wof. I will cost you another fee though. Some inspectors are rather pedantic though. I had one tell me my tints were too dark even after I pointed out that they were marked as 35%ers he still failed me. Went to another inspector who passed them straight away.

That's only your opinion. I have one piece Angel Eyes and I think they look great and a whole lot better than standard OEM's

Absolutely true Glann. Now I haven't got as many toys as you so can I have some of yours to even things up?

Shelly, if you're worried about your horse, why don't you put it in a stable for the next few days.

I see that the English Top Gear team are due to tour NZ with a stage show in the new year. I am curious to see how they can do the show on stage though. The Stig doing fast laps around the auditorium, Richard Hammond crashing a jet powered dragster into the front row of the audience, May trying to do a 3 point turn in his Roller on the stage and Jeremy Clarkson introducing Jeanette Fitzsimmons (sp) "A star in a reasonably priced car" putting some petrol guzzler through it's paces.

The banning of fireworks is once again the nanny state telling us what we can and can't do. I will admit that there are a lot of young fools out there who act irresponsibly, but why should the entire community suffer because of the actions of a few?

Well how true is that?

Find someone with an oil fired heater that heats their swimming pool. My brother in law has such a pool (he lives in Kerikeri unfortunately) and he collects old oil from all the local garages and it doesn't cost him a thing in fuel charges to heat his pool.

Your views on Guy Fawkes An absolutely wonderful chap. Perhaps if he were alive today and living in NZ we wouldn't have to put up with all the political brouhaha that we are being bombarded with.

This should be compulsory listening on every flight. Turn up your speakers and enjoy http://www.animatronics.org/strangers/strangers.htm
