Please can we have TechnoViolet brought back?

^ I'm (not) lovin' it

Feeling pretty good, the Pug did not drown in the rains yesterday, and is now free of major rust thanks to a very good panelbeater. also passed wof with only a licence plate bulb to be replaced. happy days.

I'm positively fizzing. other than the ugly wheels... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/other/listing/4072646458

the french mo'er has major structural rust. i should have known. :sigh:

absolutely hate that I got finessed and was threatened with legalese into selling the semi electric land boat.

oops, put this in the wrong place.

recruiters getting my first name wrong three times in an email with my correctly spelled name in the email address. I'm over this.

a Mk5 Supra in incubation

Fiat 500 Abarth Turbo. no joke, those things are potent.

That's pretty darn dodgy of them...

^ PB has done the same to me, and they had actually put it on NZ Post Rural .

adapt it for a racing sim./

^ all things considering, I thought the same of my previous country .... the grass is always greener on the otherside. must be a prismatic effect.

Buy Heritage model ex-overseas. beautiful car, but box arrived munted and a wiper blade was missing. lucky for me in classic car fashion, the missing wiper blade was in the boot. still happy with the purchase. awesome detail.

Hubnut. Edd China as background noise.

that down low torque is addictive. also, as long as fuel efficiency is at least 30% better than the petrol models, i think there is still an argument to be had for diesels

Based on my admittedly older activehybrid 5, there is always at least 8-10% of charge in the accumulator. I would assume it would be the same for the *30e . the torque converter has been replaced with the electric motor so in theory when there is slip, it charges the battery. also, with these, the sport mode acceleration would use the full power. not the comfort or normal modes

they even did a fresh WOF on the day of sale... well, contacted the dealer, will have to wait to see what they say. the cost for belt and the 3 tensioner/retainer bearings are ridiculous here, for a VQ35DE , around $500++

just bought Murano for parents. three days after that serpentine belts start squealing, thought it would go away after a while as it has been wet, but nope. it is constant, a bearing has probably bit it. do i have a leg to stand on to get the dealer to fix it?
