    Just a heads up for hawke's bay people that i'm trying to organise a meet/shoot, have posted in meetings sub forum but i'm doing this in 'off topic' aswell 'cos the smaller regional meet threads get overwhelmed by the Auck/Welly threads.

    Mods, you will prob' tell me off for postin' in wrong place :unsure:

    Global warming is just the name for it. What it really means is more extremes in weather, which we are seeing with hotter summers, colder winters and generally harsher weather.

    EDIT: more suitable name is "climate change" which is what is occurring. The snow at this time of the year is a prime example that the climate is changing.

    I knew someone would post something like this. :rolleyes: The title was a semi tongue in cheek way to start my thread.

    Wow! I cant wait to get up their boarding! Hopefully its clear till sunday!

    Would have been dam cold tho John! The day i visited it was clouded over, looks mint from your Pad.

    Whats exactly wrong with New Plymouth?

    Id much rather be here than jammed in the Hustle and Bustle of Auckland 24/7!

    Yep Blair, primo place up here, only prob' is i gotta put up with all the crap weather to get a decent view once in awhile lol.

    And yeah i love NP, i've lived all over the north island and i always end up in NP, think it has to do with the people. It's one of the few places in the N.I where strangers still say 'hi' to you on the street.

    Well last night it snowed at my place for the first time in 'bout 10 years. I live just below Mt Taranaki but the snow doesn't normaly make it this low.

    As for global warming.....the mountain wasn't completely clear of snow until mid march this year and now it's covered again so thats 'bout 2 months.

    This is a pic i took this morn' from my deck.

    AHHH my million dollar view, stand on the deck and look left you see the mountain, then look right and you look over New Plymouth to the ocean :P

    I enquired 'bout getting my E3 back on the road just last week at VTNZ. If the car is NZ new and you have proof of previous NZ rego (i have old NZ plates that still show on carjam and full service history from new) then all it is is a VERY strict WOF, such as NZ STDs approved tires and naw brake pads (not 20 year old ones) Cost is $257 plus a years rego.

    What they told me was keep ALL receipts for any work/parts that go into the car and show them at VIN time.

    Despite what alot of people say bout the VTNZ i have always found my local one very fair to deal with.

    My advice is to ring around 'cos you will get so many stories as to what to do.

    Hey all, how do you tell the difference between big, medium and small case diffs? I'm sellin' a 3.91 diff from a '93 525i auto jap import, a guy asked me if it was a medium case and would it fit in a E30. But before i answered him he bid and met reserve. I don't want him to have to buy it if it won't fit. Anyone help?

    The 1st and 4th ones you listed are imports so wouldn't even bother lookin' no matter what k's say. If an E34 has facelift front (wide grille) and it's not a V8 then it's an import, either Japan or Singapore. The Singapore ones have some odd stuff fitted from new. Have seen '88 520s from Singapore with full leather and they weren't individual optioned.

    Was thinkin' it may be a pretty good idea if we had a sticky thread where BS members could list their Trademe usernames. Just so other members could see if the items they are looking at are bein' sold by a BS member.

    Whats everyones thoughts? Mods/Admin is this possible?
