Yea, that sucks. Gone are the day where a group of people would sit down with a protractor, pencil and sheet of paper and design something revolutionary! I think that goes for 99% of all the cars nowadays imo

I would agree with that, the new Audi honeycomb grill design is amazing, kind of like the new gen of Lexus...I think the 3-5 series current model(s) are starting to look a little dull S63 2015 is where it at!

Whats restoration cover? Is it so if the car is off the road in the process of getting restored you are covered if you ding it ect?

Never heard of Swann, might have to ring and see if cover is cheaper than club auto (Ive found that 80& of insurers don't even want to think of insuring a 17 y/o with a v8 Benz) ...Seem weird that their classics policy has the same premiums in comparison to normal modern policy dont you think?..

Id personally recommend club-auto. I got quoted $5300 full cover for my 500SL, and with club auto it works out just under 1k...and my 190E is 450$ for 3rd party...

Yes, Not overly impressed with the new benz styling, the new AMG GT i think looks worst than the current SLS....BMW is defiantly not much better than benz in my opinion with there current styling, the i3 is the most hideous thing on the road...the i8 is quite sexy on the other hand...

Haha, yea I here the Royal family are in a bit of a financial crisis! I payed 40$ for my 300ml bottle of sealant. So I dont think polishes/sealants can be bought for 15$...

No, I know the queen doesnt get outside with a microfibre and a bottle of sealant lol Im sure some it has to do with marketing however at the end of the day the product is good (regardless of who uses it or its marketing)

Its definantly not low end! The royal family use it and so do UK's leading car makers so its certainly high end..

Yep his is in showroom condition. And when I say showroom, I mean like off the production line...amazing!

My old mans FD3S RX-7 with 460hp is up there I rekon!

I've never used obsession wax or Euphoric, however Ill def give them a ago when I run out of wax... I think those types of wax are on a whole different level of quality then "retail" detailing brands i.e turtle wax, eagle, sca ect... (imo)

Yes, amazing stuff. Try it!

Apart from offers, How much are you looking for ideally ?

Looks like BMW NZ have listed her car she "traded in" on TradeMe, with a 1$ reserve. Dont think they'll be making much on this trade-in LOLhttp://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/nissan/auction-867250160.htm

Awesome! That would be such a cool job, I love detailing my cars, where abouts was your business?

Purchased some Autoglym "body work shampoo" and "paintwork sealant" from Autoglym, and have washed and applied the sealant to the car and am amazed at the results. I have tried EVERY main car detailing brand (mothers, meguires, eagle, rainx, turtle wax, poorboy, armor-all) and have had nowhere near as much shine, longevity and ease of application. So I'd thought id let you guys and gals know the next time you need to stock up on detailing gear i'd thoroughly recommend Autoglym, they are a lot more expensive than other ($75.00 for soap and sealant) however it is totally worth the investment, and even Jaguar, Morgan, and Aston Martin use autoglym!

I think the most bad ass car would have to be the e30 M3 or r35 GTR dont know why but I think they are all a bit understated which adds to the bad ass scene?!

Dahm thats almost high km's e46 m3 money!

My gear changes are pretty smooth

No its not soggy, however it does occasionally slip under full acceleration when the trans is REALLY hot (continuous driving in hot weather) Id say it would be the torque converter, the trans is 25 years old and whines when in drive but not in park or neutral, father who is a mechanic thinks it could just be blocked oil cooler lines, looks untouched so id say it could do with a service. tbh it has never worried me as I use the car as a cruiser with the top down, and don't really need to do skids lol Tires are Falken Azenis 275/35/18 on rear

Love how he ignored you comments Jooles lol haha, have never laughed so much in my life! would be a nice car ex the wheels, blacked out taillights, skull knob and matte black paint stripe which looks like has been done with masking tape and a can of spray paint from supercheap auto... wow 460+bhp someones going to get a bargin, I just hope he didnt withdraw it because someone bought it...then again if you were dumb enough to believe him, you probably deserve to be ripped off..

My m119 only has 57,000km on it, so id doubt it has a timing issue ect, but even with the traction control off there is no way you can spin the wheels!

Awesome power comparison Michael, Yea the M119 has very little low down torque and I find that it is delivered at around 4000 revs. Mercedes replaced it with the M113 as they wanted a engine with a lower torque range (which they acheived) however it was about 20hp down on the m119...IMO I would rather have higher delivery of torque...I'd presume your soarer would have the same delivery?
