Overseas people use VINWIKI quite a lot to document the history of cars, it has yet to take off in NZ though. Obviously there are issues with any online WIKI as it is a public run db- my issue with this sale is that there is a strong possibility that someone could buy this without any idea of the history of the car, a car that on paper regardless of how well it was repaired or converted is not as advertised. Omitting details is not appropriate on a 100k sale. I have family that bought a super low km classic from a reputable car museum, who completely ignored the fact that the car had been well shunted. Due to the age of the car and repair it was not on any documentation, but later when questioned about it a huge back story suddenly came to light. People who know me wonder why I'm a control freak and have trust issues....... Genuine people are getting harder to come by everyday.

Pretty sure it would be sold already if it was in Auckland 😁

My thoughts exactly.

What are you actually wanting for it, there are plenty of us that have impulse issues and are great at man maths.

That's a nice example, fits what I've been looking for. Wife has unfortunately stopped me buying another toy for the next few months. Pity to see it traded for peanuts.

No it's only worth 100k to the scammer trying to sell it for 100k.

I blame the Kardashians, famous for being famous? WTF. Now we have a generation that is confused about where to inject fat, where to remove it and how many followers they can get doing it..... 😁

On an almost dead straight 50 km/h road near my house, two power poles taken out in 7 days. Lines down etc.

@Jacko Bugger, it's all good because the millions being spent on average speed cameras will totally change the way they drive....... FFS, let's spend tens of millions on "safety" cameras. I'm sure that 14 year old who is doing 180 up the motorway after doing a ram raid for cherry flavoured vape liquid knowing the cops won't tail them will totally be worried about that speeding, sorry safety ticket. Meantime feel free to dial *555 and wait. Feel the love, when the cops decide to do anything that is proactive in my local community rather than simply attending accident scenes and directing traffic I'll happily change my tune. Rant over, mic drop.....

Yes, for a proper review of your listing we are going to need material to work with. So inflated price, rubbish images, overly opinionated "my car is worth this take it or leave it" replies to questions, and make sure you blur out the plate in the images and then add it in the listing text. Don't forget that you will be taking payment in any form of digital coin, swaps for land, and please put forward the heart felt sob story of why you are selling this beloved car.

Sure just send the link through so we don't have to look for it......

There have been a couple of wreckers in NZ do time as a result of supplying the vin plates to do this.

This is epic, for a daily in a modern world this is just so cool. We are approaching a time where things like this conversion make sense, and the finish is great without being over the top. Obviously not cheap, but then nothing like this is ever going to be.

That is a great vid, Piotr Wieceks S15 is always great to watch, regardless of who is driving - and that sim racer clearly has some talent. Anyone who has no time for the local or American drift antics should watch the Driftmaster series. Between Piotr (who just seems like the nicest guy in motorsport) and James Deane there is some insane talent, with way less over caffeinated fat yanky commentator to ruin your day.

I like the one on the right......

Agree, I'm living proof. Just smoked out the lounge while the recently repainted firebox did its final cure. Nice combo of wife putting masses of the firebox black paint on and me forgetting to light a slow burning fire for the first curing session...... Now if it had rod bearings we wouldn't be having this discussion, but I'm pretty merciless to a firebox from cold.

Like Jacko suggested, the little green is fantastic. Use it all the time and am about to buy the larger version for the house and dedicate the green machine to the garage. I don't bother with the Bissell shampoo, opting for either sugar soap or rug Dr carpet shampoo. Final advice if you go the carpet cleaner route is use hot water.

Thought the same thing this morning.

Wet and dry vac - hire a rug Dr with the upholstery attachment, they have a range of treatment sprays - all seem to work as described. My biggest weapon for any smell is the ozone generator - I bought one off TM a couple of years ago and it has been used on all sorts from cat piss to stopping the garage smelling like the neighbours wet scrub fire.

Well on the plus side I bet your beast looked great, valve bouncing and all.

That platform was rebadged so many times, pretty sure it got uglier with each though. Bringing this back to BMW though - here is the best variant:

In South Africa they made the Opel Kadett GSI Superboss, which was a group N homologation special. Massive cams for a street car and a 2L engine, it was a brute for an NA and thankfully nothing like the Pontiac LeMans - I have plenty of fond passenger seat memories of these beasts. If you had the coin and could find one you had a Superboss, I just had access to my aunts 1.3 Kadett which made no effort to hide that it was not a "LeMans" car.

At almost half a metre in length it is massive, I could do so much with $329.99 - Buy a days worth of groceries, put gas in the M5, buy 1/3rd of a new office chair Or as I found out - let the other half buy some new shoes..... So I won't by buying that particular toy, but if it were an E61 M5 it would be a done deal.

So TT is long over - was a real mix of tragedy and some close racing. But on a happier note I found this today while shopping for my daughters B'day present... And at $329.99 it's priced like a BMW!

Watching this, also after the same thing.
