what's the weight? toll maybe 200 bucks? 

South Africa stands to gain from platinum growth. hope Muskie doesn't get involved.

Next up would be loot boxes that people can discover in augmented reality, then pay for them to unlock something like an extra 1bhp in performance. 

pull the gacha and then you get an M3 when you had only bought a 318i

^ all car companies died when their financing divisions started making more profit.  

i believe RFTs usually have elastomer compounds that are less elastic , due to more being used in them with thicker sidewalls etc, resulting in more filler microparticles being released per km of use vs that of a regular tyre.

Cylinder deactivation is working towards this.

I have a 4 cylinder airtrek that is permanently 2 cylinders off. fuel consumption is far more, regrettably.

Building a PC with the bosses cash for someone else, but still building a pc..  fun times ahead. 

that new grille is handsome. also straight slats please. 

will the lens be easy to separate from the rest of the light assembly? heard that they need to be "baked" to release the adhesive

week one of the Rona done. still having the persistent cough due to phlegm build up and brain fog. no other symptoms so back to work

 I didn't plan for this/

KiwiRail wanted to change back to diesel 

funny enough I keep seeing diesel engines in the mornings. 

Was just confronted by a dude who misheard my enthusiastic banter about my car with my sibling for something gang related. never been more afraid to be in this part of Auckland, please can I go home now. 

if greece can do it...

I can sympathise with suppliers. it is a complete clusterfudge at the moment. I am losing more hair and going white by the day. being the middle man sucks now,

in typical impeccable timing after (wallet) feeling rather drained from the pug drama, the F10 fails WOF on tension rod bushings and rear diff bushings. both be cracked.  dealership wanted 4k for the lot. lmao. 

Highspek be sorting me out though. 

surprisingly not bad. ride is hard like a countryman, but otherwise not a bad place to be in. 

^best part, she fired right up after toggling the map lights and the window switches. La vie en auto Francais! 

Collected pug this morning, drove like a dream. rocked up to the office, stalled and now dead as a doorknob. LMAO. 

a bit of a mixed bag, but net life is choice. 

Getting the Pug back from the mechanic/panel beater on monday. going to cost me 1.5 times what i bought the car for, but it will be worth it.  purring in winter will be so good. 

^ storeman forgot to place labels on it. labels were in the office, but we have put processes in place that will prevent this.

Mostly sorted, awaiting confirmation from freighter and trucking co. 

storeman just let an unmarked pallet worth 40k get picked up by an unmarked box truck with no paperwork. when i was away. and i am now blamed for it ( not directly, but there is the insinuation)  :sigh:. hoping the truck was definitely one of our regular forwarders, though they claim there is no knowledge of it. 

^ that is correct, for torque, the 320d is excellent. I would also hazard it is actually good in traffic too, if you do not like stop start. 30-40 minutes is more than enough to get the engine to operating temps. 

champion! hope you got what you were asking for mate  

^ sleep deprivation is a serious malady. 

probably was the Tesla that was weaving in and out of traffic above the speed limit that precipitated that incident.
