bravo

Grant - after the movie they came out with an updated model with the spring - I remember playing with it in the shop.

There's a guy who's set up an image blog to show interesting (and often hilarious) pics captured by Google during their StreetView capture.

Too many great ones too post here. See for yourself.

I've got an e30 one and did a write-up on the AAP Imports thread. Is a good bar for the price. If you want better (and there is better) you have to pay (alot) for it. If your budget is at this level, It's great value.

This is a follow-on from a Facebook wall thread Simon started.

Rules:

Rirst 3 phones YOU HAVE OWNED.

3 only - no-one wants to see the list of 30 phones you've owned. This is simply a celebration of old-tech.

Mine:

Motorola Microtac (Telecom Netowrk) Texting? What the f**k is that?

This phone sucked. 1-day battery (and that was the extra-large extended battery). Looked cool flipping to answer though.

I really wanted a Motorola Startac. Dad had a Motorola carry-phone in his car a couple of years before that. Cost him $1500!

Then I really wanted to upgrade to a Bell-South Ericsson T10 flip, but I was tied into a Telecom Contract.

Bell South changed to Vodafone, and texting was invented. I hated those f**king Alcatel rubbish things they had that got upgraded to the One Touch Easy. So I traded my Flip for a Vodafone motorola candy-bar like this:

Was sh*t for texting, but at least I could.

Then I upgraded to a Nokia 5110.

Now we were talking! This phone rocked. Fell out of my pocket whilst riding a motorbike on the highway one day. Came back to find it in three pieces and screen smashed. Taped it together with packing tape and managed to ring the insurance company on it!

Except for a small foray into the smartphone arena, I've been a Nokia fanboy ever since owned more models than I can count. Currently rocking an "old school" 6275i on Telecom CDMA because it's small, has bluetooth and GPS with googlemaps and lasts a week to 10 days on a battery, and cost under $100 (I lose phones all the time).

So what did you have?

I love you Tony.

Son of a bitch!

I think I have one. Will check and get back to you.

Cheers.

look like standard bumpers and an SE steering wheel to me. only things tech2 about that car is the front valence and the spolier

You're right. Saw colour coding and didn't look closer

so its niot a AC?

its comes with the rest of the kit .doesnt look to bad. Wellington is far away!!!

No, not AC, and "the rest of the kit" is just a couple of AC spoilers if you read the auction. 4-door tech II is rare as rocking horse sh*t.

Tech II frotn skirt, front and rear bumper, and rear boot spoiler. Missing side skirt, sidepods, and rear skirt for full tech II kit.

Has tech II steering wheel.

Was going to say looks SA built too, but then noticed it said that in the TM ad. Is NOT an AC Schnitzer.

Nice purchase. AON are good people. One of there brokers also drives a 2002 in the BMW race series.

Add your location to your profile so we know where you are.

Pauls Audio in Chch has them. www.paulsaudio.co.nz

That brings back memories of Pam's Techno Violet e36. And badly-sung versions of Aqua.

I would participate, but I'm better at spending money than earning it, so I'll donate to some other mo-grown'n-bro.

SC12 is smaller.

I don't know what mine cost all up. Say $5k including tune, maybe a grand or so more.

Im happy no one can look my cars details up, too many fags with no life looking up cars just being nosy parkers, see it on here all the time.

Im more than happy to pay to have a car checked if I genuinely want to buy it.

How does it hurt you? Doesn't provide any personal details. So what if someone looks up your "m3" to see if it's actually a 318iA. No-one gives a sh*t.

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha i saw this on youtube the other day. i think he bragged about the expence of the tires and the miles on them and that he was gonna smoke em.lol americans.

the play by play.

ie: rev engine

dump clutch

wheels spin

traction control ingauges

engine reving

flywheel spining

tires not moving... .........................

clutch spining?

BURN!

I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree.

Classic video. Awesome how his mates don't stop him and he jumps out the car all smiles "Well, that was test 1!" LMAO.

The blonde with the ventriloquist vag scared the sh*t out of me!

Bangle is given more stick than he deserves.

If by real you mean genuine, look no further than your nearest BMW dealer. if by real you mean OEM quality, then adding your location to your profile will be the first step.

Happy birthday you dirty old bastard! Hope you've got the day off.

Oh well, at least you get a new fence. Nice looking Volvo that one too.

me too i even have a good padock car yet no place to play sigh.....

I have a paddock and no car to race in it.

Forget ASB.

Their internet banking charges are horrendous. A person recently was charged $2.00 for just adding a name to his 'Payee" list, then after he found he had made a spelling mistake in the name, was charged another $2.00 when he changed it.

Also ASB at the moment are trying to change their interest only mortgages into Principal and Interest loans, no good for anyone with investment properties.

They can be, but it depends on which account you're on. You shouldn't believe anything you read in Sideswipe, Brian.

I was 18 and with National and they wouldn't lend me money to buy a house. I've been with ASB for 10 years now and apart from some nasty unnarranged OD fees (ripoff) I doubt that my entire fees would total $100 (excluding business accounts where my fees can be up to $100 a month for high-volume transaction accounts). But you do get alot of fee refunds if you have lending with a bank.

I have 8 accounts with ASB plus credit card. So I'm probably on some bulk discount. Now if only I could figure out how to remove the -ve sign from in front of most of them....
