kiwi535

as far as 540IS in general i would have one in a heaart beat if i had the room.I think the 540 is a better car than the 535 but the 535 is more fun.there is something about that big 6

Lying? Thats a bit strong isnt it,this is a public forum.Its not even clear you are talking about the OP car

the vin translates to a car of the same colour and spec..who says its been rebodied?

will available in 140,190,240 and 290 wide x 45 mm thick or 10 mm wider and 5 mm thicker if you buy rough sawn stuff

330 km for a nearly 30 yr old car is only 11000 ks a year .A well looked after car will be exactly like this one.The mileage becomes almost irelevant as everything that wears is replaced

much improved ,not quite there for me,just doesnt quite gel with the leather,but vastly better than the wood.Wood belongs in a mk2 jag and the like

Thanks I guess this sithe reason people dont pursue To many stories that dont seem to back up the fabled "CONTRACT".

he could get sued here too if the protaganist decided he wanted too.As has been said above,a contract had been made. offer and acceptance.....the proper outcome would be he gets the cars at the price he offered,and the other guy would likely be up for the costs involved in the pursuit

did aussie not have the airbag recall?At the time my Mitsubishi Pajero had both front airbags replaced

two close calls same day. 1)Stopped at traffic light at front of queue wanting to turn left,indicator going.I am the LH lane which is left turn and straight ahead.The red also controls me against pedestrians.The rh lane green arrow always goes green before thestraight/left light.So my light goes green and i only ease forward as there are still people on the ped crossing.As the last ped clears the crossing i actually accelerate just as a e bike whiszzes past on my left,i just missed her.She didnt even look back i dont think she realised what had happened. 2) going up Ngaio Gorge quite a steep road lots of bikes going up here you always pass several going up.There is a "fog line" painted about 500 mm out from the kerb a defacto bike lane.As i approach a pair of cyclists i notice that the rearmost cyclist is going quite a bit faster than the guy in front and sure enough she just pulls out into the lane proper to pass the other guy. just as i come alongside.I had anticipated this and had moved right enough to leave her room. the speed some of these e bikes go u p the gorge rivals a 50 cc scooter!.The mismatch of speeds with other cyclists and the parity with cars is going to cause trouble

if it is going to be used for short runs i would go with the petrol.

drl will always be on un less you turn on the parklights or headlights or if the headlights come on auto,thats the idea of them DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS

i think i know of one here in Welly too prolly the same one as mentioned above

its a moot point because almost every thing written about dealing with accidents/insurance company is"never admit liability at the scene,so straight away its make a claim and let the insurance companies fight it out. Your points though are spot on in this case which is not a on the road bingle

you still need to make a claim with your insurance company,they will pursue the other parties

i reckon the M1 s still look fantastic

M30 is a very flexible engine,for instance you can come out of a slowish corne in thrid and just let it rev out.you could do the rimutaka s in only third gear i loved mine and was happy to get back in to the 535 even after a test drive in both a e39 540 manual and an e34 540 manual. The only downside is the fuel use.They are thirsty for what they are i reckon.They are undergeared to pep up their accelleration which means they are doing about 2250 at 100 ks as opposed to about 1800 rpm for an e24 635

make that beerS (fixt)

I have the impression that the m70 is "temperamental." is it really or is is it just a little it different in that it is sorta two engines?

well after a big cleanup and struggling with a big lever but not much purchase i got it to come to bits.I dont know what he was doing with it but it was filthy with old dirt and oil will now fit in a package about 800x150x350

I would buy THAT car only because it is a e34m5 and a 3.8 at that.Thats the only reason i would buy it.The manual e31 is also of interest

O.M.G. its good to see that the rear valence and tow hook cover ddont line up any better on this than they did on my 535 Now this would be me but its twice as much as i would consider

best place to buy rotors and pads in welly for a ford escape(for work mate)

dunno about that but on the odd occasion i have used the UK BMW deaer "configurator" to build a car and manuals are (were) available. Are you saying that i could NOT get a manual if i actually ordered it,(depending on model) here in NZ?I realise that there would not be a manual in stock in NZ,

i want to know where their(gull) diesel comes from and if it amy different in spec than the diesel i would buy from Z or bp. Where oes their diesel come from.Where does Mobil diesel come from?.I beleive Waitomo fuel is Mobil too.
