  1. A M10 somewhere you'd not normally expect to find it! From: http://www.britishv8.org/Other/BruceUchida.htm

    Quick rant thread.

    Recruiters who briefly scan a CV, interview you, and then tell you they have people more experienced. When challenged they tell you they didn't know... (And incorrectly spell your name .) IT'S ALL IN THE CV AND COVER LETTER ! 🤬

  4. Could be. Looked like it could have been a closed-door respray, but I'm happy to be corrected on that.
  5. Resprayed red 1987 318i sold for just over $15k. 17x9" rims (too big in my opinion - ymmv ) and non-standard interior.

    Reviewing NZTA would mean acknowledging a government department was a failure, and they really don't want that. In the meantime, there is endless diatribe around "speed kills" and no effort to address the true underlying factor - driver skill or ability. Yes - inappropriate speed can cause accidents, but idiots driving at 5km/h below the speed limit in terrible conditions cause far, far more - and worse - accidents.

    Quick rant thread.

    NZTA are an over-sized under-performing governmental anachronism. They don't actually do anything, other than collect money. No-one there actually contributes directly to anything: they simply engage a sub-contractor who will engage their own sub-contractors, who delegate and sub-contract... More layers than a really good Baklava, and every layer is taking money out of the system. I read that it is estimated that for every $100 spent, around $22 finds its way to the road and those people working on it.
  8. I got two emails - one the day before, and one on the day. Have missed receiving them in the past, though.
  9. Taking advantage of the free listing day, but couldn't be bothered to plan to actually have any content.
  10. Sold for $2770. I'd not have been surprised to see $3k, but at least a modicum of sense prevailed. Even if the auction was extended 40-odd times. "Sorry vehicle is stored off site so unable to confirm if Sunroof" kinda sums up just how much effort and interest Turners have in the cars they sell.
  11. It'll sell for well into 4 figures. One day they won't and then this becomes the way forward.

    Saw a set of throwing stars with a $7k asking price earlier. Yup - I'd want a car with them, too! A good one.
