Scrap heap was my first thought. Will try FF maybe. It's not my car, just trying to help with the ridiculous (and ongoing) bills.

Anybody have any bright ideas on where to find an auto trans for an '02 Laguna V6?

I watched him in the '76(?) rally New Zealand along the bottom of the Wairarapa/Wellington coast on heavy rocks/shingle. He was visibly faster than anyone else (in an RS1800 vs 131R's), yet still picked his way through the bigger rocks. Amazing.

Without the 2.8 diesel. Or a Bighorn with no badges.

There is no duty, only GST.

Apex's old touring at Vic/wellesley St intersection, shortly before I was pulled over and told it might be a good idea to slow down a little. I agreed.

I would fight it myself in court. That's clearly not the intent of the law, you can turn up looking respectable (presumably), explain that you're a normal hard working citizen who was intent on not impeding the flow of traffic and that the charge doesn't fit the crime. Look into the wording a little more, any reasonable judge should see through that. Your "offence" is a world away from the "offence" that the law is targeting.

I think the limit through there is 30 also. Having seen you driving today, maybe constantly changing lanes and accelerating all the time should give way to a bit of patience. It won't get you anywhere any faster in the city, but it will put you in more situations like have happened to you here. Regardless of who is at fault, it's a pain in the butt for you at the end of the day. My 2 cents.

We get people offering this in property all the time. "No thanks, real money is fine".

If it's a computer, Mitsi will say circa $3k and can't be fixed. I have a friend who fixes them for less than $1k from memory. If that's what it is.

Nice, barely run in too.

I thought about it, but didn't fancy asking everyone in there if they owned the BM outside, maybe we should all wear matching hats?

I have that, with a wear patch in the leather, trying to figure out how/if to repair/recover it.

BYF100 (db kiwi?) outside Gypsy (my local).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Bloody BMW drivers.

If they were cabs, then facelift didn't start until about '90-91 iirc. I have a Dec '87 cab with full MTech 1 on it.

Hmmmmn. That should resolve any traction issues on a standard 328i. Thanks.

What's the correct (factory) tyre size for an E36 M3 8.5 inch rear? 235/40/17?

Call Ray, he has them, or did last week. Don't buy my one though!

An E30 Alpina of some sort at Hampton Downs today, proper Alpina wheels, spoilers and graphics, very tidy.Ignore the quote, hit it by mistake.

Did you see Fifth Gear run one into a small, late model Renault?

No, dark green. Looked like oil dripping from somewhere onto the exhaust from the way it was swirling around, although it got worse when she put her foot down.

An E39 520i smoking it's way along the NWestern this morning, BEZ something. Middle aged woman driving it, smoke getting heavier, if it's your mums, tell her to fix it!

I'll have a look tonight, let you know.
