kiwi535

the very first time i sat in sports seats i thought....nope too hard and a bit hard to get in and out....After i had driven from tauraunga-wellington-waimarama in one go i changed my mind and have been sold ever since...I have been told that proper comfort seats are also amazing.

And the bonus with electric seats is that you can adjust them to exactly where you want ,not thats click is too far ,and that click is too close

wow weird " shaguar1 Hey, sorry to do this, but I need you to remove my bid. I’ve bought something else. Thanks" -  6:19 pm, Fri 29 May

The auction closed at 7.30pm thaat same night. 

Seems very strange you'd be bidding on a specific car like that and then suddenly buy something else in such a short time... 

people  are very strange.When i had my 535 a guy knocked on my door and asked if he could buy it.I said sure make me an offer.His offer was ludicrous.I gave him my number i think.When i did sell the 535,as soon as i isted it he rang me up and said he would buy it as soon as the auction was finished.The auction ran its course and he was straight on the phone again,but i had a guy from CHCH who wanted to see it.(he was a watcher) .That didnt work out so i rang the other guy,but he had bought another car that same weekend!

I could be wrong,  I wasn't looking for garages but I didn't see them listed. Anything you build will have to meet the requirements of the building code with regard to site coverage and distance to boundary etc, etc.

A garage is not a building meant for habitation so the standards for construction are less than a house....but of course in the future it may want to be converted to a tiny house...I think that is why there is caution with garages

if considering a typical timber framed and truss shed you could arrange for the roof trusses to have a whole bay where there were no trusses so a hoist could push the car up into the space where trusses would normally be.You just have some biiger purlins in there to span say 3m

yes that is 3 m3 but 3 m3 of "solid" dirt becomes 2 or even 3 x when you dig it out.I dont think the petrol station will care as long as you dont overload it and it comes back clean

and its AA verified!?

i would think that the towbars themselvesare capable of substantial loads its just the swing type and or "click in types arent.....is that what that adapter does "locks" the swing mechanism??

yes both of your links to the M3 or 130 threads are "broken" 
 

Sorry, there is a problem

i  am sure a good machinist could replicate some centre caps.The  price will be exorbitant but so is the alternative

a lovely engine in some ways the old M30 but it is prolly purely down the the innate characteristics of a reasonably sized straight six.They just too old fashioned i reckon.I reckon you be far better off with a  more modern engine,say an M54b30.The M30 hails from the 60s

The owner is one of my bosses mates so they just selling it to me on behalf

i am sure it is all legit but see if you can ensure you will be the legal owner with no comebacks form say the previous owner estate

There'll be a process to follow to sell the vehicle to recover unpaid storage costs, no doubt detailed in the storage contract.

yes like the rego something to ascertain before going too much further,or indeed ANY further.I must admit to seriously considering one of these despite my ambivilance to the interiors

so your work is the legal owner or ???

Consider yourself lucky you can work from home. A lot of unfortunate people have no work at all, im sure there will be a fair share of people that have no job to return to once this is over as well.

i know i am lucky.I am certain we are in for a massive recession and i am in the industry(building) that is hit first.I wont be surprised if one of us is made redundant as soon as we get back

dunno about more value but i do like it when the car still has the original plate

we have bought our computers home so we can work from home.We have new vpn logins to be able to access the work intranet.What we do is a,most perfect for work from home,except they really need one of on the actual factory site to deal with "issues"

i feel for the bosses in some ways.They dont really know whats going on .Out top tier management is changing things every half day.Some of the boys in the factory are very very unhappy when they are told two different stories in one day

this is serious.Some models say that if the US doesnt get their sh*t together there could be 10 million dead.Thats crazy stuff,esp for someone with a daughter in Boston.

They may learn the hard way that a little governance is actually a good thing.

i will look for that paper re the figures above

family owned, same number of employees as there are owners. not union. and in theory I can work from home.

that is what puzzles me. will update once we have a sit down tomorrow. 

there is nothing to understand.Unless you are essential industry or service you go home and stay home from wednesday midnight at the latest..You only go out for food,medicines etc.The idea is if we are forced to stay away from each other we will virtually stop the spreadof it.,otherwise every one that gets infected infects three others.Its fairly simple maths what happens if that is allowed to happen 1>3>9>27>71.......In no time at all our health system is full .We gotta stop the spread of it.

ahh same engine as in the touareg?Jeremy Clarkson says those engines have enough torque to turn the earth

And why are there so many overweight semi crippled women in Wellington. Ones who can barely walk yet are clearly still working cushy forgotten government roles?

i wonder if BMWNZ can help.They would have such for the cars they import?
