  1. So far I've spent about $8k (including the purchase price) on my '83 528i with 120,000 miles on the clock. Based on this listing, perhaps I wasn't so stupid after all. E30s seem overpriced. E28s are more comfortable and better looking (especially on nice wheels and lowered a bit) IMO. Look at Matt's http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/37489-e28-535i-project/?hl=%2B535i+%2Bproject.

    Theres always this as perspective too $$$ wise................. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/535i/auction-685488780.htm

    Matt needs to get his finished & then take lotsa pics for here................... ;):)


  2. Funny coz my style 65 17's are a 8" and pretty sure they are 13 and they could probably do with another inch to be flush

    This............^^^^^^^ would sound really dodgey if you mutter it while in the Square on a Fri / Sat night - might wanna avoid it ae.......... ;):)

    Funny Allan - I think those MS bumpers look a bit weird too........

    Jooles car with the spacers on looked fairly serious............ :wub:


  3. Hmmm, you wanted a sensible idea from me.............??? How bout this - keep the vehicles you've got, who-ever is going longest distance on a day takes the might diesel wagon, & umm, buy yourself a motorbike for using on the fine days - ya know ya wanna............ ;):)

    Like, a proper motorbike, not some sorta tractor like a Harley........... ;)

    Edit - In terms of Freelanders, I personally wouldn't pi$$ on one to warm up its wheels.............however if you do get one, get one with sunroofs. ;) Then when it dies, ya can full it up with horse-$hit & use it as a glass-house for growing tomatoes etc.......... ;)

  4. Lots of common sense in here re maintance etc.

    Rumour has it that a new Hilux 4WD diesel, will do about 28,000kms with no maintance at all from the showroom floor, before it Chernobyl's it's motor, (even though it shows full on the dipstick.....) ;):rolleyes:

    Apparently that's not covered by warranty for some reason...........

  5. Yip that was me. Where abouts was that? .

    Exactly. Until an army uni mog pulled up next to me and sent a lot of water through the gap. Why did they even have a mog in town.

    Was at Featherston / Rangiteiki Street traffic lights............. ;)

    I think theres Mogs floating around on training or somethink.............


  6. hey guys, has anybody got any experience with shipping companies. I remember reading a while back somebody was in the shipping business. I am currently having a hard time to get somebody to tag along with me if I bought a car from Hamilton or down north around Palmey or Welly. Most of my friends are still out. So was thinking to have a shipping company bring it to me. anybody got and recommendations, an idea how much it might cost within north island? lets say welly/palmey/waikato to whangarei?

    winner gets like 2 points :D

    If you're in the toy section of Trademe again this week, probably $7 Postshop bubble-wrap bag should cover it, depending what scale it is...... ;):)
