bellicose

2 totally different things. 1 is allowing your child to do something in front of you that is dangerous and 2 teaching your child not to do dangerous things.

This is by far the stupidest and most ignorant statement i have seen on any forum for quite awhile. You can teach your kids all the sh*t you like, weather they take it in is up to them. _Mark_, i would appreciate you not modifying my post, if you had a problem then why not PM me and allow me to do it? And why is it ok for mod's to be able to say these things but not us mere members? My point.

I agree Grant, i could tell a few stories about little f**kers that speed through car parking areas.

LMAO, i got arrested couple years ago in Napier because of this very thing. Parked on Dalton st across from WINZ, 'bout 3pm walking back from Firecats after picking up my wages, one of our darker brothers was trying to paralell(sp?) park behind my car and i noticed my car move a little. Got to my car andhe was gone and there was a huge scrape from the corner of rear bar right 'round to the back, also a dent in bar further around. Any way long story short, he's in WINZ, i kick his door in and wait, he comes out, we exchange words, he swings, i swing, he's on the ground with broken nose and cheek bone, police come, John goes for little drive. All ended ok tho', i got a little fine thanks to the personel referees i had. HEHE i'll just say that it helps when your in-laws are high up in the AOS and the other is a Det-Sgt. So yes i hate f**kers that have no respect for others cars.

So am i mate, just trying to stir

No, any spacer of any sort has to be certed.

Nope, the bike is there so you can go off road. Because the BMW 4WD systems don't work when they aren't on tarseal, so it's best to use other means of transport on dirt / gravel / or even grass.

In that case i ALLWAYS ask the inspector to show me the section in the VIRM that pertains to the item he failed.

Just take it to a VTNZ station, lots of people will tell you don't do that. Yes they can be d*ck heads and pick on stupid things but most of the time they are only little things. I take all my cars to VTNZ and 99% of the time don't have a problem. Would rather have VTNZ pick on little things than some garages tell you lies just to get the work.

This kind of question makes me laugh. There's only like $15 difference between an expensive WOF and a cheap one, so if you can't afford $50 for the expensive one then you shouldn't own a car.

At least it takes the focus off the ugliness of the arse of the car.

Check oil spray bar for the cam, they have a real bad habit of blocking up on Pintos.

I would actually really consider mine and Andys idea.

Mate, that's not as silly as it may seem. NZ has some of the best mechanical enineers and engineering companies in the world. Not to mention the older guys that can make stuff out of nothing with the lathe and drill press in their garden shed lol.

Thinking about it, you may run into some prob's using BMW and the Roundel. I think BM Performance Parts would work though.

Yep but script starting to lose it's shape, looking pretty good tho'.

That looks good mate, although.................try to get the lettering a little bigger. The center distracts your eye away from the script.

Thought i'd throw this up, maybe there are some Harley owners / enthusiasts here. Goes very well, door seal is good. It's a Kelvinator bar fridge, 800mm x 530mm x 530mm. It's painted in a pearly met' brown and logo is also painted, not a sticker. Pic's DON'T do the colour justice. 2nd pic' shows the reflection in the paint. The white marks above the logo is actually the reflection of the guttering of my house behind me lol. Looking for $300, but a BS discount does apply lol. PM me.

I agree with Grant. Jack, as you say you have already got some wholesale prices i would think those prices still wouldn't be that competetive. 1. You won't be buying enough stock for them to justify a really good wholesale rate. 2. It will be very hard for you to compete with retail prices people can find on the net. 3. Try to concentrate on smaller fast moving things, quantity is the way to start out mate, you don't want to be stuck with big dollar items that you can't shift or return. 4. The wind defectors you speak about, how many cab's are there in NZ? So how many do you buy in? If you don't have them in stock how long before you do?. 5. Speaking from importing experience mate, if your buying power isn't that big i fear you will be at the bottom of the list when it comes time to re-order from your supplier. 6. A customer that has to wait is more than likely going to start looking else where. This is just my 2c, don't know if this makes any sense, to early on a sunday lol. Oh and lose the ss completely mate, not the name Schnell Spec, just the ss. Keep in mind that the swazitka the Germans used was a styleized version of the muslim sign for prosperity that had been around for thousands of years, but now when/if you see it you instantly think 'nazi'.

Have PMed shady and it's not him, unless he has 2 cell's and 2 numbers. I did say in a previous post that it didn't look like it was him.

Unless 'shady' has another cell' phone then it's not him. Appreciate the info' guys.

Yep, the stabbing thing is pretty much as you saw it. More holes than a 5kg block of swiss cheese, not counting the bullet holes lol. The ears thing in the movie was a bit more dramatic tho' lol. Although the bit where he says " Just slice 'em off, don't f**kin' saw at them" is true. He loved to tell a few stories, never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn lol.

LOL bit OT but......Mark Read is actually a pretty nice guy. When i lived in Melbourne he used to come round to my place quite abit. My wife at the time (now ex wife lol) her dad was part of the whole Bojangles night club scene, so quite often we would get some of the blokes come round to have a few lol.

Does anyone know a Malcolm in Hamilton, he's a younger guy maybe 18-25 and into BMWs. Could you PM me his cell' number please. Maybe it's 'shady' (username here) but i'm not sure. All will be revealed in time. This may sound dodgy but believe me it's not, i'm not going to use the cell' number for any illegal or dodgy stuff, i will disregard all non relevant numbers, i just want to marry up a couple of things. That small world, 2 degrees of seperation thing lol. As Jake the muss said "I'm a likable kinda chap"

You really do make some idiotic statements at times. I'm with Glenn on this issue.
