I decided what the heck and bought myself a jacket from one of those shady knock off stalls at the local market.

I have tried but ultimately failed to avoid getting white smudges on the door cards from sunscreen covered hands. What is the best way to remove them without damaging the leather?

At an event someone parked their Model 3 next to my M3. Lets just say all the kids taking photos of the cars were not taking any of the Tesla.

I bet it has a whole heap of Toyota Aqua's in orbit around it! 🤣

I had just gotten out of my Touring when this guy pulls up next to me in his convertible. The conversation went: Him: "I like your car." Me: "I like your car too."

I feared you were going to say you picked up 10 of them for $5 from the Warehouse! 🤣

I recently moved house and after unpacking all the boxes found a present I was given for my 21st birthday by an acquaintance. A crystal model of a 635CSi and it's still in pretty good nick considering my 21st birthday was quite some time ago (hint, last century).

Explains why they didn't see the flashing lights, hear the alarm bells, or see the honking great freight train bearing down on them...

NZ also buys more RS cars as a percentage of total Audi sales than all other markets too so the news didn't surprise me at all. And I don't mind BMW NZ selling their EV range of cars as it means the average C02 emissions of the whole fleet are low enough they may continue to sell as many ICE cars as they want.

And here she is after 500km and needing her first wash (hopefully this weekend). If the guy driving a white E91 Touring who waved at me on SH1 northbound lane just south of the Newmarket bridge in Auckland on ANZAC day around midday is also member here, hi back! 👋

I see the owner spent the extra cash on the carbon ceramic brakes. Did you see if they had the sports buckets as well?

And here she is at the dealers. Collection will be sometime in the not too distant future after registration, pre-delivery checks and PPF application are done. I have a mate who is an amateur photographer, will get him to take some decent shots I'll upload as promised.

Update: Vessel is now ~35nm east of Great Barrier Island on an ESE heading at 14 knots, due to dock in Auckland tomorrow evening.

It looks like a failed design for a 1970's sci fi movie vehicle

And here we are again.
