Mission Impossible : Rogue Nation. BMW awesomeness abounds

+1 great colour. Very rare.

perfect jooles. now sell it to me

Sorry mate you will struggle to find a good one now. Most good NZ cars are tightly held. I sold mine late last year and had a huge interest with 3 buyers all falling over each other. Took me more than a year to locate that one. Most now are getting alittle long in the tooth. Good luck I hope you find one.

taking your car into Mercedes for a check light, getting told there's an air leak and they replace the whole intake system, $3500 later. Check light comes back on the next day. FFS

Apparently there's a leak in the intake system somewhere. Of course Mercedes response is to replace the entire system. Crazy. Luckily I don't really care. it's under warranty so cost to us is negligible. But $3500 is eye watering. No wonder the dealership is so flash. Wise words kiddies. Get that warranty.

After taking this to our local mechanic for a scan 3 times, with several different sets of codes displayed and $127 later we have been forced to take it to the Mercedes dealership. wait for it. Cracked intake pipe. $3500.

well this thread took a dark turn....

I snapped the speedo cable in my R32 GTR first outing. 180kph phifft.

wow so mint

I saw this the other day. i was like 3 cars behind. They were in the left lane and it was so minor. 5m forward there was a grass verge but the dude got out and started waving his arms at all the cars to stop. It was on the southern motorway FFS. Get your head out of your arse before you cause 10 more accidents.

dude. wow. Just wow. I figured it would be a tough car to steal traditionally. But that's a horror story. Glad you all made it out alive. Welcome.

How did someone steal a E46 ? they steal your keys or with a towtruck? (sorry if this is a sore subject, just interested.)

not a design they needed to protect. Looks better with those screwed on panels. You're not wrong Kyu.

My unicorn car. One day one day.

Good looking machine Neal.

Yup it did.Considering over the years what I spent on the multiple auto machines this setup has already paid for itself. It's pretty much indestructible. Only downside is the coffee is only as good as the operator.

It's all down to personal taste. You can make a pretty good cup with a plunger or stovetop brewer. I'm not a fan of the capsules. They don't taste right plus the packaging amount & cost. I've had 4 different automatic machines and they all eventually break. It's too big an ask for them to grind brew extract & cleanup for a reasonable price. They all eventually break some small part inside which costs more than the whole machine to replace. If u want the best manual machine available get a Rancilio Silva Rancilio is industrial quality machinery. They make commercial machines that u will see around in cafes and this is their home offering. Pricy but you won't have to buy another machine. Remember a proper burr grinder is important also.

Wash, full groom & wax Hard wired V1 (hint: it's the green/white wire)

I buy only free range where possible and agree New Zealand needs to do more in this space. Consumer demand is the best way to make these changes.

he did well! didn't over input

Unfortunately looks to be truth to the reports of pets being stolen.

we don't condone that type of behviour

I read that also. It wouldn't surprise me as they kill 10,000 during the festival.

Well I'm glad i've sparked a debate. The point here is humane treatment of animals. We don't boil up sheep alive. Hell I don't even do that to crayfish. Animals that we have domesticated to be reliant on us are different and should be treated as so. All animals deserve to be treated with respect no matter if they were bred with your dinner plate in mind or as a companion. How it's reported they are treating these animals I wouldn't wish on any living thing. And it needs to stop.
