Only two rules for this GB. sick of having to deal with it, so dont do the same to pulse who has kindly offered to do it again for you all 1/ Please ensure you give Pulse your address!!! been a few occassions in the past where people have wondered where thier plates are, it is your responsibility to give the address to us, not our responisbility to find you 2/ strictly no pay no order. if your pay day is the day after, pay 6 days early from your previous cheque if you want them ------ please add: benjamin whatman - blue NZ fern stickers only (no plates) (I will sort a price on this, just add it to list though) you might also like to add a payment cut off date, and get people to pay when they place thier order to stop tyre kickers. up to you.. your running it cheers!

I dont have any new cars that need them, but as stated earlier in the thread, if any of you guys would like to do put a list and payment together etc i can email my guy and get them for you no problem! Otherwise, if i havent brought any new cars by end of feburary ill do it again anyway for the sake of tradition, provided i get 20 ordered sets.

Those of you still with old boxy CRT TVs and Computers
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to _ethrty-Andy_'s topic in Off-Topic
sorry, i said from end of the year, meaning from the end of the year onwards. Sorry about that! And thanks for the link! There are a few places in Palmy already, some of which are agents and some of which are self contained units. most big centers should have facilities already -
So i work for a technology recycling company, but i dont post here because im told to, I am passionate about this sort of stuff. I wont even say the company I work for, so you know. Okay so i burn petrol, but this makes me feel less guilty. Those of you still with CRT TVs will no doubt know that they wont work from the end of this year, and for most people they will take it as an excuse to upgrade to a flash new LCD or Plasma. Maybe even a 3D TV. But what do you do with your old one? You cant sell them on trademe these days for any price, so if you cant get any money for it how do you get rid of it? Unfortunately you have missed the boat and will now have to pay some sort of fee to dispose of it. Landfills are beginning to voluntarily ban them, before it becomes law anyway. But in the meantime you can still dump them in some landfills, and there is nothing stopping you throwing it down a bank. the former is cheap if you have a lot of them at home, and the latter is cheaper still. But I post to ask you to PLEASE RECYCLE it There are many places that can recycle them right throughout the country that will take them for a charge. To my knowledge noone takes them for free still. So why Recycle them? Why not dump them? CRT TVs can contain around 6kgs worth of pure lead in them, tied up in the glass. Add to this phosphorous, nickel, and any other heavy metal you can think of, and you name it its in there. All of these leach out into the ground contaminating our waterways and all that other greeny jargon, but its actually not a big myth. Being in the business, i know how it works. You can google how we recycle them, everyone does it the same way so i wont get into that. But why do you have to pay so much to get rid of it? The answer is simple. There is next to no recoverable value in them. Those of you that have broken them open know there is a tiny amount of copper inside them, and that is all thats in it that is is raw cash. the glass, green-boards and plastics must all be exported and processed which both have its costs that arent covered in what the recycling company gets back from selling it. This is because NZ is too small to have its own facilities. Most of you, along with most of NZ, will be very happy to spend an extra few hundred dollars getting a bigger screen size or better brand. Yet when faced with the cost of recycling say its too expencive. Our reckless consumerism is causing the problem, the least you can do is your bit to pick up the pieces. Most will charge less than $30 to recycle it, with our rates starting at half that. Is it really so much to pay? Is it just the TVs that are the problem? No, all eWaste is a problem not only in NZ, but worldwide. consumerism is 100% to blame, and its not going to stop. Everything from the latest iPhone 4S to your cars ECU contains heavy metals, and if not disposed of properly will become an issue. Back in the 60s etc when equipment like radios and TVs were built to last a lifetime, it wasnt so much of an issue as the tradeoff was better. Now we are lucky to get 6 months from a phone or 2 years from a computer before it is upgraded and the old one abandoned. My company can dispose of all of this for free, but most companies charge because they can, though this is usually cheap. I dont care if you take it to one of our competitors, and niether does the boss. Just do the right thing. Thanks for reading all! questions welcome etc

started getting into it, but not enough action for me. much rather watching a bunch of bogans in low budget (in comparison to F1) falcodores. F1 sounds cool though..
-
Havent seen them here, but they are an option like that in the states. Leather comforts they unimaginatively call them
-
wtf the 1 series is bigger than the 3.... none the less cool photos though!
-
where do you find the new episodes? they used to have them on the topgear website where i used to watch them but they dont seem to upload them anymore. I cant watch them on TV as i am one of those rare people that dont even own one (the odd show i do watch is available on TVNZ or TV3 on demand anyway)
-
yeah noticed your old depot was looking all abandoned! ill give you text on tuesday
-
this car is manual and similar condition and not selling at $2500... gone are the days you can get that sort of money for a stock E30 even if it is a 2.5L SE http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....c=38298&hl=

I cant believe im saying that i agree with you on that. But then again, its done like 16 seasons or something to be fair!
-
does anyone know what the correct name for the wider hiaces are? in the new shape, you can get ones that are 150-200mm or so wider than the standard model... all the tour companies i used in Thailand had them.. were they even available here? ... that bit extra will make all the difference for usability
-
although the b16 is a good engine and good economy etc, the fact that you reckon your car is MODIFIED like everyone else on here, i wonder if its worth going to a b18? probably more common too tbh

Jon at JKS Euro might be able to do it if he has time. got him to check out an E46 for me at one stage, so E36 should be fine. cheap too iirc
