    Yes Kent's car. The one that nearly killed him. It was a ACS car leased under bond from ACS. It went up to Macau and raced there before it got demolished at Puke. We worked on a lot of the "Rich Kid's" cars back then. The race car had a specialist team including BMW NZ staff working on the car full time. My customer list which I still have is staggering .

    We even had a helicopter built in the workshop for Kent Baigent owner of Tellus Vacuum Cleaners in 1985 This photo was taken when moving the workshop over to new premises in FOX St Parnell From Eglon St. Was a Rota Way Kitset built by aircraft engineer and Blair Crossan. Our workshop was also used by advertising companies in the area who were also customers for automotive adds. Customers like Saatchi & Saatchi and Clemenger BBDO.

    My question would be how the sites were getting access to the data, as even very recently built cars were on the unofficial sites.

    $$$$$$ easy. There's corruption everywhere

    These late model diesels are not wise for school trolleys as they need to be driven . The exhaust particulate filters clog up. Go out and give it a blast on the motorway for 20-30 km at 500 rpm below redline every now and again and watch the smoke. Just drive it in manual to keep those revs up. You can have some fun at the same time if you choose some back roads. Try getting the school chariot drivers to do that ?
