Ouch Although 3 wisdom teeth at $1300 isn't bad I've been quoted $3000 for the same job... but that's Auckland for you

I'm probably just thick... but I never have any idea what argument you are trying to make or the basis it is built upon. You started off with a brash assumption (other party denied liability and Amber's insurance company accepted that) and have built up on that sandy foundation. Are you a legal expert? Have you been in this situation with the disputes tribunal before? You definitely don't know the ins and outs of what is going on between the various parties so even if the answer to those first two questions is YES, your conviction in your own BS is unjustified.

dare to cheapen the mighty CSL to lowly Golf GTI status!

My Dad bought a car in March last year off a trademe importer and it is still listed

are you implying lead is harmless?

I read its about $150k USD for a prius over there right then again the average income is $120k USD

Nice! Wont last long at that price

you realise the s65 (m3 v8) is the same engine as the s85 (m5 v10) minus two cylinders so if the e60 m5 counts, the e9x m3 definitely does too

I can't speak for overseas, but the new XR8 (335kw, 570nm) for $70k in New Zealand is great value in my book.

I can't see the point personally. Why not buy an e92 m3?.. Which would look way better. Also Matt Farah is a terrible motor journalist.

Knobhead cyclist of the day goes to this guy http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/news/67716529/14000-bike-stolen-on-short-stop-in-pleasant-point?cid=facebook.post.67716529 How blaze do you need to be to leave $14k resting up against a car? I hope he doesn't get the bike back... just to teach him a lesson. If insurance pays out it will be an even bigger joke

That was my thinking too. I rode a 250 bandit (4cyl, 16k RPM, 45hp etc) on the weekend. To be honest I didn't enjoy the lack of torque at all. I've ridden mainly singles in the past so have a different reference point for low RPM handling. Even my 150cc 2 stroke felt torquey relative to the bandit! I have since started looking at the twins (Ducati, Honda VFR etc). Sure they dont sound as good but for city traffic the ease of torque is very attractive. Or maybe I just need to get used to the idea of revving the crap out of whatever I do buy. If the maintenance wasnt so onerous i'd go a KTM 525exc motard with a loud exhaust. mmmmm Would never buy a ninja/hyoshit or cbr300!

Im in the market for a lams bike so found this very interesting. Too bad those old jap bikes are so flogged in other areas (forks, bearings, electrics etc). Seems like the engines can take it at least.

If you earn more than $36k USD p.a. you are in the 1% (globally).

no ACC for the final ahhhh shite

haha yes this. Guy Martin is awesome

how many kms?

How are we 13 posts deep with no mention of the e60 m5!?!

Oh god this is endemic in my office with the cricket at the moment

*pushes MD13 and calls him a mean name*

$700 takes it minus stereo bits

You can get sharp edges on brake pads - gently run a file over them to remove any burrs/excess. Cheap shitty pads can be noisy
