As Tui says. "Yeah Right!"

What a TOOL! OK, if you do it in the Targa, but bloody lame in a 50kph area.

Dean @ Motorscience for your service and Marshall tyres in Newmarket for your wheels

Sorry mate, I'm still offshore. Happy Birthday, I hope you had a great day. Did you unwrap a new car in the back yard?

3pedals has an E39 manual. 5 speed

Just like the Super Tourer, eh Conrod. Sounds like someone has thrown gravel in the gearbox. The induction noise is awesome too. Sounds like you will suck up small children off the pavement. Andrew gets to experience it at the Skope.

What happened to the Manual E34's? There are heaps of them on the site. Just saw a E34 540 manual (UK) import yesterday. Taking it for a spin today. See what it is like compared to mine.

Specs for the new 318/320 race class will be available at the Car Club event at Taupo this week-end.

No Andrew, Mint is a Green colour.

No. As one of our products is an exhaust emission tester, I have a fair idea. The short answer is no, as most garages perceive them to be too expensive (in general). Personally, (and aside whether we sell them or not) I would love to see it. I hate cars polluting my road.

I seriously doubt that! He's no boy racer.

Looks good (besides those lights!). Glad to hear you have a real iS (manual). Have fun in it.

No Chance.

Seriously, for your EDC shocks. Tell me where, I'll drive down with them.

Very tidy. You need to throw a Motorsport front spoiler on it.

Not personally. I walk my dog passed your house on the week-ends, on my way back from the Cafe. I told your sister to give you this website and that you should join the BMWCC also. Ciao. I'll take you for a spin in my car sometime.

Haha, Roberta Ave. Just don't drop it as low as the last one or put those chromies on it. A great looking car. I hope it's quicker than your sister's Mazda.

David has been to work on it and removed the gay aerials and the monsoon windows. It looks SWEET. As usual, David finds another mint car.

Bummer Grant. I can lend you the 540 in a few weeks, currently Deb's sister is driving it while she is over from England. Glad to hear you are OK. David's car is for sale (I hear). Or mine, of course.

Lotus Notes is a great database, however, it is not flash as an e-mail client. Especially if you travel alot. It takes forever to replicate your mail over a dial-up connection. In PNG and the Pacific, it generally costs me more to check my e-mail each night than to pay for my hotel room.

Make me an offer for my Tungsten T. Then you can sync it with your outlook and use your phone as the data connection. I no longer use it, as I have Lotus notes at work (and so does Deb) Nokia make some of the most reliable phones around and have better aerials (and reception) than most of the competitors too.

No, CDMA is a technology licenced by Qualcomm and it in no way compatible with GSM. Both developed for totally different applications and have slowly converged. In general, Telecom has better coverage (by square km), Vodafone has excellent coverage in the main Urban areas. Currently, possessing 4 cellular phones (don't ask, I only pay for 1). I am relatively happy with Telecom's service coverage. The phones are Crap however. We have just bought Deb a new 3G phone for Vodafone and it is very good. However, there are problems with making voice calls over the 3G network (it is designed for data/video, not voice). So, you will have voice calls dropped randomly and no problem with Video calling. Our GSM 3G service is MUCH better than that in Europe (and pretty much anywhere) as we really only have one network for GSM (Vodafone). Telecom actually make virtually nothing on your home line rental. The make the money in transmission of voice/data calls. More customers, more hassle. The infrastructure required to provide you a home phone line is much less profitable, than that to supply a medium sized business, or to provide a tolls service. They are scum to their competitors though. They make all new providers lives hell. I remember that they screwed BellSouth around for a year or so, by disconnecting them, from Telecom's atomic clock (phones need synchronisity). Anyway, I digress. If you travel no further than Australia, then Telecom is wonderful. If you roam the world (anywhere bar Japan, their own Mickey Mouse network), a Vodafone tri-band phone is the ducks guts.

Take the E46 to Dean Jensen at Motorscience. Can't help with the Merc. You could ask Dean or Peter if they could recommend someone (as they specialise in BMW & Porsche).
