I’ll take them, longest sale in history?

Mazda 3 SP25 hatch or sedan. With some negotiation: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/mazda/auction-2160321381.htm?rsqid=9cb861167ef8489cb6b1b9b2b31e4be7-003

Get them from Australia (eBay or similar), mine were 40% of local cost including overnight delivery.

Congratulations on having varied taste!

That’s so rough. He always came across as such a nice guy and his car was always so mint. I had a weird feeling about his name when it was released, sorry to see it was right. Sincere condolences to all of his family.

I'm currently running at 18l/100km for the trip above, I just want to know if it will be the same or worse to go slower..

Can anyone give me a truly accurate steer on V8 fuel consumption in truly urban driving? For example, I have a 9km commute populated with speed bumps and traffic lights galore with an average speed of about 26km/h. Don't tell me a diesel is better.

Question: Are the water pump, thermostat and radiator common across M52bxx motors? Quick answer before I try and decode Realoem/bmwetk. Finally thinking about my touring.

A 2009 Alpina B7, Nz new apparently. And for sale? Wheels looked too big and ride height too high. Looked like a roller skate.

Interesting. I had an ‘04 AMG with Bt and that flatly refused to connect to an iPhone 4s.

Yes. 6V92?

'E53 with Bluetooth and phone prep, will that work on a modern phone, eg, iPhone 7? Or is it a lot of faffing about?

Agree, Daytona is my favourite, but I’d go that blue over silver or black.

There was a tidy 3.0 ‘vert on TM recently. Nz new, 140kms (from memory) and had an asking of $15k. I thought that was cheap.

It comes back as an e28, but it is clearly a 750, makes you wonder about a chip shop in its past.....

Geez, this really is the car that keeps giving isn’t it? Hope it settles down soon.

That's quite some appreciation considering I nearly imported one for $11,700 landed about 10 years ago with 80km on the clock.

I was wondering. Our e30 has a great horn, as does the 36. Picka part?

They were and had a great sounding motor too.

Someone has an old Mt Cook Landliner? Impressive.

It’s boston green? How far apart are the mounting holes?

That’s funny, I was looking at it the other day thinking it didn’t look right. I will talk to the installer.....

Monroe’s from memory. You mean delivering the car and parts? Have to figure it out. Rear seats fold, so you could get a bit in, but they are quite bulky bits.

#Herbmeister I’ll deliver it to Wellington. #Smithyinwelly it was available, I thought long and hard about your wagon.... Kyu, you can drop the quotation marks. It cost $3.5k, but I’d say limited prep. It lasted about 11-12 years, every surface he painted is damaged. The rest is in good nick and would come up great with a proper cut and polish.

This was bought new by a mate of mine in 1996 in London. He brought it to NZ with him when it was 18 months old and I bought it from him in 2010. Has 126.000 miles (202kms) on it and runs perfectly. Clutch and shocks were replaced at 160,000kms. I used this as my daily until 2013, then got another car, but couldn't bring myself to sell it.... Last year (March) I got a new warrant and fixed a few bugs, flushed oil and coolant etc for a $900 bill and since then have driven it regularly, hasn't missed a beat. I also replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter at the same time. The air con needs regassing (I was going to get the Repco refill kit) and the stereo (factory Sony with CD changer) has decided it will only play through the left speakers (assume the plug is out in the back of it). I also have a new cabin air filter for it, but don't have the time to get all of the little things attended to. It had some paint touch ups done by a professional painter a few years back, all of the areas he touched are now stuffed. Boot, bonnet and top of drivers door. Hood lining is sagging, not too badly, but will need doing at some point. Has 16" motor sport alloys on it with Super cat tyres on it with plenty of tread. This is the one that was mentioned in a thread last year with a possibly higher horse power ECU, but who knows? There's probably stuff I've missed, but there you go. I want $4,500 for it. For this, it will come with: A perfect condition boot with Msport spoiler A good condition drivers door. An M sport front bumper (purple, but good nick) A replacement hood lining in good condition
