You cannot convince me he meant to get that second flip off. That was a total fluke! That first flip, on the other hand... Mind, both looked awesome!

Ah, my bad, I misunderstood.

It might vary by insurance, but I have withdrawn one claim with Tower before.

Reading the aa policy it says they will pay out $4000 against damage from uninsured party but i see a problem in the wording. 

They will pay upto $4000 of repairs if safe to do so. Otherwise they will pay out $4000 but keep the car in which case that doesnt work for me my wheels are worth that much. 

And i dont think they will give me $4000 and my car too.. damn.

Are you sure this is right? That's a big gap. I just re-read mine, because it made me concerned, and mine calls this out explicitly as "covered." It'd be weird for me to think "comprehensive insurance" would provide only limited cover if someone else hits you who isn't insured...

Note, I use Tower. I have never made a claim, so I can't speak to quality, tbh... Policy summary here: https://www.tower.co.nz/car-insurance/comprehensive specific policy document here: https://www.tower.co.nz/~/media/Files/Tower/current-policies/Car_Comprehensive.ashx

EDIT: Reading the AA Comprehensive Policy document here: https://www.aainsurance.co.nz/manage-policy/policy-documents/comprehensive-car-insurance-policy-document-.html

I see nothing about that limit for uninsured drivers.

EDIT2: Before you offer to settle anything... "

What you must do

Immediately after an event occurs, you or any driver of your vehicle must:

• take all reasonable steps to prevent further loss or damage
• inform the police in the case of theft, burglary or vandalism, or any attempt at these
• not admit liability
• not, without our consent, incur any expense or negotiate, pay, settle, or make any agreement in relation to any claim. "

Yeah, ok, I like that. I could do with plain black wheels, but I wouldn't proverbially kick her out of bed, as it were.

It’s still a thing in at least some European countries. You park in Rome, or Geneva without at least a little bumping.

I just can't get past that bodykit. I know this was an 80s car, but seriously, wtf is that..?

Someone will probably now point out that it's a very rare and sought after body kit from back in the day that is worth mega-$$$.

I agree there, but in a weird way, I like it... from a side view, it reminds me on a Pontiac Fiero, or the old Toyota MR2, both of which I coveted when I was in high school

OP is in jail after getting busted with the car and cops found drugs and dead hookers in the boot.

Hookers must have been very small, if there were multiples of them in that boot...

ISOFIX is of no consequence in the decision making process. 

We need a dislike button on these forums, clearly! Who doesn't consider ISOFIX critical when buying a two-door Porsche?!

This car is gorgeous dude, maybe one day, when ISOFIX isn't a requirement for me, I can do something like get a nice coupe. Z4/M Roadster/Porsche/Miata?

I don't think that's a very good car at all. It doesn't even have ISOFIX in the back...

That said... FCP Euro sells Porsche parts, so sounds good to me! 

Much of the web uses secure transport now. It's easy enough to implement, and is considered best practice for running a web server, which is why Chrome is doing this. Ours is an unfortunate choice, really.

Is there a need to worry about this ? or just be careful what you write about ?

This site has no https. It's a choice the admins made.

Don't put your credit card information here, or bank account and such, but otherwise, use it as a public forum. It won't be any worse for your computer/safety/etc.

It's a Chrome thing.

Are you using Chrome?

69%. The old ones threw me... but I don't pretend to be a total anorak. And you will never hear me complain about getting 69... percent ?

65% here. Same boat. The old ones really throw me out.

That's awesome.  Everyone should snap these up.  I'm in the US so everything ships free.  I was in a bit of daze and had forgotten that.

Hah. All good. Amazon Prime is about the one thing I think about home that I think is better at home than any other country I’ve lived in now. I’d take it for granted too, if I could! ?

I just read this post.  Was gutted I missed out.....  It was a hard weekend at a Rock festival.

You might not have missed out yet... I just checked the rotors I linked earlier, and if you buy 2 rotors, they ship free. 

The hydraulic jack isn't free anymore, alas, but sure seems a lot of things sold by Amazon ship free to here. Play with your cart, add at least $100USD into it, and see how you go.

I may have to sell my 318ti to make space in the driveway for something else. let me know if you are interested.

A bit more work done since the last post/photos.

seat is fixed up, windows tinted, etc.

 

You're buying the M3?

And... it’s over. 

I managed to put in some orders, but nothing actually shipped yet. Curious how this will go. 

Would it not be easier to just use an EWS module with the correct VIN?

I am trying really hard to convince myself that I need this car.. but I really dont... or do I..

It is clear, and obvious to me, you need this car.

I would love to.... but then I would have to sell my 135.. and that means I will owe $20 to @BreakMyWindow

If you get this car, I'll pay your $20 loss.

So, looks like there is a value threshold, and has to be items sold by, or at least fulfilled by, Amazon. I managed to get free shipping when cobbling together 8 small tool kits, added up to about $80USD, and came free.
