Lols - that's a crack-up!!! The boys were obviously 'having a couple' out in the shed before they fired up the grinder & welder that night. You're right re the spotties - same as I run on my utes - they rock......... Much like a BMW, also made in Germany.......unlike this car, which looks like 'Made in Mexico' is stamped on it.......

Ditto what Kyu said - stories like this are just great..................awesome!!

Nah mate, but hey, give feel free to get hold off Jack direct...........Southland phone book. J. Doff, RD 8, Tuatapere. Local legend out that way - tell him Harvey Wilson put ya onto him........ If ya have any hassles tracking him down, try the Tuatapere Pub (theres only 1) - tends to be his second home............

Awesome - swinging both ways are we.............??!!!! Lols!!! Bar being somewhere to rest your pi$$ bottles, that rear wing is about as handy as a milk bucket under a bull, & its mother-in-law ugly..............

Lols at this ^^^^ you're a legend............... In amongst all we are & aren't gonna do to the brakes on this little beasty, just remember to change the brake fluid (as in a full bleed through ae), as its hydroscopic (Friday, long week, spell check brokered), thus the 6 years its spent sitting around will have seen the brake fluid absorbing water, thus significantly affecting (lowering) its boiling point.......

So we're starting to think a bit harrder maybe on sending through a pic of the missus, & trading the mighty Caldina on Jack's one...............

That^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is just way too interesting & informative for this thread................. it lost the plot ages ago...........

Its a 3 series thing ae, & the smaller the motor, the more of a 3 series thing it is..........this is rather special all on its own tho............special, as in 'special needs'..........

Cracking up............... "a real head turner, attract all lady and all man out there,always get admire and get all looks everywhere when people see it, both young and old, nice car! nice car! the best car ever! lot of people walk up to me and keep telling me that. & "* automatic gearbox it does have that 5 speeds manual mode as well similar to tiptronic gearbox but there is no finger tip buttons to change gear on steering wheel only at the gear stick." My people, want whatever this guy is smoking ae.............on his planet...............

I'm left wondering what Ford owners will now tie their boats to in the future...............

Probably gives credence to why I've always thought Elvis sucks worse than a Queen St hooker - gee can hardly wait for the Xmas editions to start up.........NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The unpleasant squarking of 2 cats rooting in a alley @ 3am sounds better..............

I particulary love the bit where RH exhaust is looonger than LHS - its a rather unique feature I'm thinking. I might try that one myself...........

Lols, good stuff - glad it was simple for ya............. Originally I thought it was the sound of it getting lotz cheaper...........

I did too mate, you just do better @ speeeling than me, particulary if theres bourbon flavoured Fanta involved at this end.............

Primo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fixed it, thanks to the great advice in here - cheers guys, big thumbs-up to ya!!! Norton found a bit of stuff, but didn't fix it, Malaware download, & then scan / delete threats fixed it. Took ages to do the scan though, but end result well worth it.

Primo!!! I'm glad for ya Juggy.............. Don't forget to change those tyres when the girl comes back to ya ae...............

Its looking like I've got same problem Glenn - been ok until today.............I got locked outa my account too, been sending invoices & pics fine until today........ Now starting scan process too............. Queer queer queer needle-d1cked spamming ba$tards............... not happy, as I struggle with computers at the best of times!!!!

Does the rear badge, pod filter, paint colour, $hit feedback, & baaad English not make it a M3 then.......???

Here's another one Gavin, its even local to you............. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/specialist-cars/competition-cars/auction-669298835.htm

Subtle, is sooooooooooooo overrated, particularly when theres a M5 badge also..............

Feel free to add spammers & Prius / people mover owners to your list............ Oh, and Colin Craig - he's a retarded oxygen thief too........

Yea, lols, true all that.............ditto what Matt / Jon said............

Certainly in Holden's case, & to a similar extent also Ford - the small / midsize cars that they are now peddling off here are just character-less pieces of crap IMO.............I wouldn't pi$$ on one to warm up its wheels..........if I was in the market I'd go get a Swift Sport or a Mazda instead........

Yea, I'm sure there'll be a diesel manual somewhere that's quicker, better, & less boring tho...........

I think somewhat sadly, it was always going to be a case of who was going to 'pull the pin' first, & once one had made the commitment to going, its inevitable that the other will pack it in too...... Personally, I think its a real shame, & it'll be a big loss & have big impacts on us & the Aussies, well into the future years.
