Phil-540i

If you're thinking of getting it done in Manawatu, pm me & I'll tell ya who NOT to use - after 2 really bad attempts with black product 'fails', I then sucked it up & got what I wanted changed properly painted........

Theres that, & a few other E34's that have been on TM for so long now, they must be due birthday cakes........

True that.......^^^^^^

Lols, well you were getting even more worrying than usual before when you were using the term 'sport wagon'.......those 2 words don't usually go together.....

Like, "Wow". Awesome. I've never seen that before.............. Don't be doing any mods to those 540 doors ae Jamie...........................

Well yes, I agree, they are durable..................would I use one though on anything I wanted some accuracy on - umm, no. Get something half decent to use, or just run with the usual 'tighten till it starts to strip, then back it off 1/8th of a turn'.......... This thing here is about as handy as a 2nd mother-in-law IMO - great for hurling at the neighbour's cat, or use it to crush your pi$$ cans when ya finish the job, but hey, that's bout it really..........

Primo!!!! You're getting there now on it ae, great stuff!!

Speak for yourself - I was starting to wonder if its maybe a 'skip meds' day...................or something........ You watch - I'm starting to think he'll end up with a Pulsar or something like that ae.........

Yea, nice find Josh!!! Damn but they sound & look impressive when being given a huck-up / workout!!! Awesome vid............

Looks sweeeeet...........^^^^^^^^

Yea I figured that - if he's not far away I was gonna suggest ya wander down the road & slap him a coupla times, just to help clear some of his confusion...........that he nedz HELP with.........

Must be fairly ok your missus - if you were a bit less endeared with her this'd probably already be parked in your driveway...............

Well true, theres always that as a benefit!! 'Nice', as in between 8-2 it was probably just grey, getting grey, had been grey, & was working itself up to being umm........raining..............

Yea mate, it'd make an amazing mobile gold fish bowl given Palmy weather..............

This guy is a neighbour of yours ae Allan............

Aww I dunno, I surrender - 'keep looking' is the correct answer......???

Listed through an insurance company............truly?? Private individuals can put stuff through a DVA too..........and they do......... And if its the one from Auckland that was biffed a while back, were'nt Police saying in print somewhere excessive alcohol was involved...... ???

Snooze, lose sorta thing........... Looks ok - ACS rims, NZ new etc etc - can't be that many around & predicted sale price ain't all bad.........goes up tomorrow in Tauranga. http://turners.co.nz/Cars/Search/BMW/328i/11734393/

I'd wondered if it was the same one - high odds theres not many around........looks like its been rolled as well in LH pillar area?? Edit - could be just impact damage in LH pillar somehow.......

Interesting to look at this thing here.............as a '$hits & giggles' exercise......... There's 8 airbags in this vehicle........ http://turners.co.nz/Damaged-Vehicles/Search/Toyota/Hilux/11729409/ None of them have deployed............ Edit. Heres a budget model BMW, only 1 airbag fitted. Way less damage to the vehicle, but because of the way it has been crashed / impacted, airbag deployment has occurred..... http://turners.co.nz/Damaged-Vehicles/Search/BMW/318Ti/11752236/

I like what you've said here...........^^^^^^^^ Given that most other stuff even unused deteriates with age, whether its unopened condoms or the spare wheel in your car, then there is logical to what's being said there probably. We're probably at a little bit of a disadvantage in some ways here in NZ because the kiwi vehicle fleet tends to have a longer 'life span' as a medium age, that what lots of other countries do........... Logical & rational & informative stuff, still ain't helping me get this bulb removed though bro............. As a generalisation, most kiwi drivers know bugger-all about the technology that's in, or even not in their vehicles. As an example, go and ask 5 random people you know, if the car they are driving has got ABS fitted or not. Then ask them "How do you know??". Follow it up with "Whats the purpose of ABS then......??"

Dammit, so how do I remove this poxy bulb then..............

On a serious note Jason, next time you're in a decent sized metro place, see if ya can have a wander around a Turner's Damaged vehicle site - looking at crashed vehicles is 'interesting' sometimes..............especially given that accidents happen out in the real world, not in a test lab to get a 'safety rating'.....
