  1. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-210324385.htm Any idea?
  2. Keep missing the $1 reserve wheel nut autions but I really need one!
  3. You'd think that LTSA (or whoever they are this week) would have a list of approved suppliers. Try a safety shop, as they would have suppliers for the orange and purple ones that might do green. My local emergency doc has red... http://www.ems.org.nz/ edit: http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/St-Patricks-Day-7-I...emZ310123903638 hehe, you could say you needed an emergency pint of Guinness!
  4. Not wrong! The e34 M5 was a work of art built by hand in another factory! e39 m5, meh. The comments say it all: and

    What the

    Where's the diff mounted, in the hotmix?
  6. It's actually on the WoF sheet. A wof dude entered mine wrong on his pc to complete the wof and it came up with all sorts of messages! Wouldn't let him wof the car.
  7. I found out a guy yesterday got a fine of only $150 for having an unrestrained child in the car and another $150 for impeding the flow of traffic. 70 in a 100 zone. Makes you think there might be a few problems with the system! As a father, I would have had him strung up by the nuts, and as a truck driver, I would have had him run over by a B-train!
  8. I rang the arseh*le and gave him abuse when I found out! (not really abuse because I have some respect for the law) but I was pretty angry!
  9. I got sent a letter telling me I had been done for careless driving... 2 months later! /rant Only because I (and the company insurance provider) refused to pay for the damage to a mazda familia full of teens (with a restricted driver) when he came screaming up the arse of a reversing truck and, apparently, it was my fault, being in reverse and all. Cop didn't even know what licence was required to drive the truck but refused to call CVIU. He said I should of got out and looked around the truck. I said "and by the time I got back in a car would be behind me!" /end rant Tools, some of them. It may even be a quota thing. End of financial month and all that You're basically screwed... After all, it IS illegal.
  10. Stefan Eriksson.investigation revealed that the crashed red Enzo, a second black Enzo, and two other Mercedes-Benz cars were unregistered and illegally exported [from the UK]. It was found that all five cars valued at $3.8 million were leased in Britain. Moreover, lease payments for them had ceased; and that after the export, the Mercedes was reported stolen in Britain with insurance pay-out. Footage of Eriksson in his black Ferrari Enzo, shot by the founders of a car enthusiast website, Car-parazzi.com, was held as evidence against him by European authorities. The speed has been reported as many numbers. No "official" speed has been given.
  11. Maybe if you ask for it. The primer should be fine... should last a year or 2 at least.
  12. Basically the K+N stuff is a primer with flex aid added. The flex aid drops are what auto refinishers use to allow the paint to flex, and expand/contract at different temps/rates to what steel does. Stops the paint cracking and looking like sh*t after about a month. You dont really need to sand your bumpers (most have a textured finish that's a prick to sand properly), just make sure you get it extremely clean with prepsol and a tack rag, even do this a few times! *ex-automotive refinisher
  13. I honestly cant say I've seen an E34 without aircon.... Mine is still mint even though the blower motor has died. Crack the roof half an inch and you still get cool. Seeing that that 535 has an OBC, headlight washers etc, I'd say it has aircon.
  14. If we hadn't just had our second child, that M5 would be in my garage by now. I just hope some tool doesn't buy it and destroy its originallity.
  15. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-206958452.htm Enuff said!
  16. Really needs 4 tyres for long commutes, and the reason I bought them was because it was an easy way to get 2 tyres... or not, as it seems
  17. I bought a set of 4 e39 wheels from a member here with "WoF able" tyres... 2 are snow tyres. I'm not putting snow tyres on my car so they are for sale again. Maybe able to organise cheaper shipping due to a transport company I work for. Pics from orig owner I paid $150 and had to get them shipped from Aucks at the cost of $30
  18. does IT have snow tyres?
  19. awww... bugga I'm missing out on the springs... unless the price has dropped????
  20. They must have changed the law since since I lived there... Speed cameras in Qld were always marked vans with signs warning "speed camera ahead"from police.qld.gov.au "philosophy of the speed camera program is based on general deterrence using marked speed camera vehicles..." Victoria was the bastard for cameras.. I've seen one in a combi sitting on a jack with the wheel off. And then there's the wheely-bin cam!
  21. All good... outta my price range at the moment anyway. My body and interior pretty mint except for my roof lining (and thats just too hard to ship) and an OBC (that I cant justify to the mrs coz we just had our second daughter).
  22. Doesn't mention cert and the engine number on carjam is a bmw one....
  23. Boe!!!!

    Still got your e30?
