Grammer: the difference between knowing your sh*t and knowing you're sh*t

to avoid having their premiums go up. worth fighting for, especially if you are young. For example, just today i almost wrote off the work car as some cock pulled out of a side street on petone esplanade in front of me, them turning left, couldn't even deal with one direction of traffic lol. clearly their fault right? my car was loaded up with a trailer on the back full of heavy IT gear. but then they could argue i was overloaded (marginally maybe?) and should have been able to stop in time? could have gotten hairy with no witnesses in either vehicle. good job i pulled into the parking bay thing on the left hand side instead of taking his bumper off. To answer Malcolms question, if you have full insurance, your insurance company always pays for your car to start with to get you back on the road ASAP. They then go through the proceedings to recover the funds off the other parties insurance company. Of course, if both parties are by the same company, then they need to determine who's at fault so they can put the right persons excess up refund appropriate person thier excess etc. Ordinarily, you wouldn't have to go to court over an insurance dispute, but in most cases you are your insurance companies witness, and its in your own best intrests to go anyways, as if you/your company wins, you get refunded your excess etc. Fun world of commercial law. lol

Not bad! my 316i bettered that only just, though had trailer on again! the 525iT/A i used to have wouldnt hae donee what you got lol

Once youve had that "Taste of Asia".........

you back in an E30 now bud?

When i was young i got LOVE on both knuckles and I tried to spread as much of that love around as possible, i thought thats what love was. Jokes aside, i have got any, i wouldnt mind the outline of NZ somewhere some day if i was to immigrate overseas (very likely, probably Asia.. wont go into why..)

that will buff r........ in two words, F__ that!

thats probably where the issue is, a standard 3.5mm plug has the tip for one channel and the ring for the other and the body ground, and a standard av cable has 2 rings like this pic. as opposed to:

I didn't know anything about that either! might be worth looking into, I have a 5 Farad capacitor (yes 5Farads lol) but more juice is always good. i have a brand new 750iL battery in my E34, was the biggest one they stocked lol, but my stereo still sucks it dry in 10 minutes when just a bit below a normal listening level. but for most stock cars would be more than ample

Saw this on one or other of the auckland motorways (to be honest i had no idea where i was) on saturday on the way to Marty's from the city. whats the deal with that rake man?? lower the back asap! looks stock in the back when side on!

should be fine, may get some rub depending on what tyre you run on them though, thats quite a wide wheel for an E30

M3 plates and rego stickers etc no doubt

11 years is pretty good for a bmw battery, especially in a 5er. what chemical is the battery made from e.g. calcium, nickel etc.

this. will definately bolt up etc etc. only issue i can see you running into is it may have inhibitor wiring issues though, something to research before you get stuck in.

Yep, The E34 section on bimmerfest.com is having a calendar comp as well, so far the first 8 months have a car with no contest for them lol. any E34ers here welcome to get amoungst

My $2m insurance cover doesnt sound so crazy after all.

yes you could if you want. i havent and wont be setting a date yet though, having only just done a round.

to be fair im sure there will be more than one post on the internet about me hating the first gen 1 series too but thats started to grow on me too. if i had the cash then and now for a brand new one certainly wouldnt be the case, and they wont make much money by me liking it 3 years down the track huh!

Jasons Touring, the red M3 vert and the Yellow M3..... I dont know if there are enough months in the year for all these photos!

you mean "Life Cycle Impulse"

im sure its a not a bad car, but i couldn't live with that front end on them

keep and eye out in around 8 weeks time
