bravo

Right-handed bends? Madness!!!! Nice pics. If my phone could take 1600x1200 I'd be stoked!

Thanks. Radio advertising campaign about to start in Auckland aswell which will direct listeners to the website. As you can see, we are seriously short-staffed! What recession? Sorry, but tell Katy we're not after a coastal ecologist, but I'm sure there'd be work up here for her if she looked around. Plenty of coastline under pressure from development.

Wash your mouth out Atta - you should be reading Buy Sell Swap down there in Christchurch!

Nice to see you here Steve! How's the gravel-thrashing going?? They didn't make 4-door m325i's, but as Steve said, you could order a 325i 4-door with some or all of the m325i bits. Does it have an LSD Steve? And to echo someone's post above - carjam doesn't mean sh*t. Good luck with the sale Steve - its looking better than I remember, and it looked good then. I've got paddock pics floating around somewhere if you want them.

Which is why alot the lights and gauges on boats have a switch that can make them red or white. White for sitting in a bay drinking rum, red for travelling at night or pimping 'ho's.

ROFL @ car noises. Hilarious.

Best meet pics for a couple of years. Nice work on the camera and awesome meet. Good to see the south repp'n' it for a change. Thumbs up guys.

I think it's in poor taste as an advertising slogan on a billboard. And take it out of that context and its not even very funny or clever. The only reason it may be considered humourous is because it's so brazen. If one of your friends said it, you'd barely chuckle. It'd be funny if they did some sort of "Island Style" pizza with "no dog meat" in the list of ingredients, but this is pretty lame.

Glenn already told you what oil to use.

Nice moon roof!

+1 would be willing to make an offer similar to David. But only if David isn't willing to match it. He got in first, and I'm not about to start a bidding war against someone I know.

Haha nice Peter. An oldie: A guy walks into the unemployment office in Ponsonby, goes up to the counter and asks if they know of any jobs. The receptionist asks him what he used to do before he was unemployed. The guy explains that he was a Barber offering haircuts and shaves for male clients. The receptionist tells him she may have a job that could use his sepcific skills. It's a job at a nearby beauty clinic shaving vaginal hair for the mostly wealthy, young and attractive female clientelle. The man can hardly contain his excitement and struggling to keep his voice at a normal conversational level says "I'll take that job!" The receptionist says "Great! But you'll have to travel to Hamilton." "Why's that" the guy asks. "Because that's where the queue of applicants starts."

Really nice e30s are appreciating. Owners of clunkers are trying to cash in. Tell them they're dreaming.

Last month a world-wide survey was conducted by the UN, via a call-centre in India. The only question asked, was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?" The survey was a complete flop because:- Eastern Europe didn't know what "honest" meant Western Europe didn't know what "shortage" meant Africa didn't know what "food" meant China didn't know what "opinion" meant the Middle East didn't know what "solution" meant South America didn't know what "please" meant the US didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant and Australia and New Zealand ... simply hung up because they couldn't understand the Indian accent.

Sorry braeden, but you're not quite right on the payout bit. I apologise for assuming it was long service leave - you did talk about the anniversary date and I assumed you meant that it was an additional entitlement. Braeden is incorrect in saying they can pay you out. This is explicitly against the law and companies that do this can be prosecuted under s16 or forced to allow the employee to take the paid holidays even though they've already paid them out. Don't waste money buying a copy of the Holidays act. All nz legislation is available free online at www.legislation.govt.nz They can only force you to take annual leave if the company is closing down (say for the xmas holidays), or if you are unable to reach an agreement with your employer as to when to take them. (s19 of the Act) PS - so technically they can force you to under the act as long as they give you 2 weeks notice, but it's rather unfair. Why not offer to take 2 weeks or something?

If it's long service leave (special leave entitlement) they can require you to take it all at once. It should be written into the company policy that this is the case. However, they cannot force you to take it by a certain date. You get to choose when you take it. (unless it is written into your contract). PS as it is long service leave, it is not covered by the Holidays Act. It's extra leave. I would negotiate a suitable time when to take it, and enjoy it.

Office 50m from the wharf and 150m from tourist beach. No traffic on the drive to/from work. 4.30pm knock-off. 1 hour lunch breaks. Relaxed work environment in a sweet location. Go fishing off your boat in the weekend and off the wharf/rocks at lunchtime. Beat the holiday traffic by living at the destination. If this sounds like you PM me.

Does yours look more like this??

No the service station wasn't breaking any laws. As you say, it's not a road anyway. They don't have to comply with the NZTA rules for heights. Which is also why the speed humps in some McDonanlds, retirement villages, gas-stations are like small mountains - private property. Also, low-volume local roads don't have to comply either. We're only talking high-volume roads and/or state highways.

See above for a free solution that will catch most (I was editing my post). At work we use an enterprise antivirus. its deathly expensive, but it covers our 100-odd computers from a single central installation with daily updates (or more frequent if required). Probably not the solution for you. Last time I went looking for a good antivirus I found half a dozen online reviews and they all pointed at the same 2 or 3 different apps like bit defender and kaspersky. But without having used them I cannot recommend them. I used to use AVG, but the annoying pop-up screens and crap reviews made me bin it.

AVG is free for a reason Glenn.... You can get away running free net-protection software, but you usually need to run a few different bits of software to catch everything. I've got a system running only free software (Avast antivirus, Spybot, Adaware) and it's only had one virus in 3-4 years and that was installed by a shithead cousin installing a peer-to-peer application. But if you want simplicity, and one package that will do it all without letting anything through you may have to pay for it.

Which part don't you have? There are 13 different parts shown in the diagram.

Yet another thread fail. Come on guys pick your game up.

It probably looks funny now if it's that low. Go talk to a suspension expert in your area. They look at your car and talk over the options. Sounds like it's a bit of a death trap at the moment.
