I did about 80% of the driving, but the small part Brook did was insane. She had no mercy on the poor Jeep, and at one stage I'm sure it was airborne.It was a pity that the rain washed off the mud as quickly as it gathered. The biggest trick was to make sure that the windscreen wipers were on before you hit the mud puddles. Cheers

It read pretty well to me.Andrew, no, I don't think I will challenge you to a 'weigh off' Cheers

Yeah, I spose by now there have been a few private imports hit our shores. BMW NZ were only allocated 10 M Coupes officially (not sure of the roadster numbers).

Here are some pics from my first go at 4 Wheel Driving in the Wrangler on Sunday. The event was in Woodhill Forest, and was organised by the Auckland 4WD Club, and was called a 'shiny vehicle' run. This means you weren't going to do anything to damage your vehicles. The weather was apalling (but goo for 4WD'ing). Unfortunately most of the mud got washed off by the rain as we were going. I was hoping to have the Wrangler caked in mud. The Wrangler handled itself really well, despite only having road tyres on it. However most of it was spent high revving in 1st gear, with wheels spinning like crazy.

That is facelift - the very last of the E30's.I think that it is quite a good price, especially given its low milage, and good condition.

Do it properly with an engine your size and you will probably get a couple of HP out of it. It will also sound cool. Cheers

There can't be that many. NZ only got 10 of these, and I know of at least 4 that are in the Auckland/ Waikato region (however there may be 1 or 2 imports around).Cheers

Maybe you are asking a little too much for it (but I am saying this without seeing it in person...so this is just a slightly uninformed opinion). I had a look on autopoint and trademe, and even at dealers earlier (92- 94ish) E36 318is's are going for around 11,000 - 12,000. Thats not saying that yours isn't worth $13,800 (as I say, I haven't seen it in person). If selling it for less than $13,800 or so means you are going to lose too much on it, maybe you should think about keeping it. It is a good looking car. Good luck with the sale. Cheers

I know, good aye, the engine is just about worn in and reaching its prime.

While I realise he is just one big marketing machine, he is quite clever and I quite like him. I'll probably get it. Cheers

I'd say around $6,000 - $7,000 if it has been well maintained and hasn't got lots of small hidden problems. It looks in quite good nick. Cheers

I see at Mission Bay on Friday night that idiots were throwing fireworks at passing cars. We managed to escape without being a victim but saw a few unimpressed motorists. Cheers

Then you had nothing to worry about did you Cheers

No, the full length movie The Transporter, starring Jason Stratham. It came out around 2002 or so.Cheers
-
Yup - thats the real deal.Cheers

Good choice, the E21 323i is a good car. (I am assuming that you have the one with the dual exhausts?) There should be plenty of spares for them at the BMW wreckers around the place. You'll be fine. Cheers
-
I'm not a huge fan of cabbies, but I like it, and I also like the wheels. Cheers
-
OK, this is a serious question. Why on earth would anyone want remote starting? I can't think of one decent reason for it. Why would you need to start your car if you are not already sitting inside it? Cheers

Keg on the 13th might be a bad idea, the the BMWCC autocross in Tauranga is on the next day.

I think that it is just ok, and pretty boring really. But that is only my uneducated opinion. Cheers
