I plan to... has anyone else had experience with getting money from the council for this sort of thing?

I did years ago from the Wellington City Council, they put up a fuss, so I put up a bigger one, they offered to pay and then had a near heart attack at the cost of a full price Yoko A008 (told you it was years ago). Tyre only.

I remember going for a ride in a '44 Turbo when it was near new, great quick car and I still want a 928GTS.

Is that a man?

I saw this today from Alten Rd in traffic. Given that things normally look better from a distance, it wasn't promising.

1UZ with the Eaton Supercharger that was on TM a while back.

I was once talked out of buying one by a Saab mechanic, I don't think that really requires any further explanation.

The Alfa V6 sounds superb, I think it's great.

What colour is the boot? Any dents or rust?

The 3g phone doesn't record video. Maybe the 3gs does but defiantly not the 3g model... Hell we had to wait for a major system update to be able to copy and paste text, forward text messages, receive and sent pxts, so ya...

3GS has video, it plays back very clearly on the phone and on computer.

The biggest problem as I see it with the iphone is the name. It suggests that it will be useful as a phone, yet as noted above, it has very poor coverage/strength. Example, at the bach my old Motorola V3X had 2-4 bars of coverage, iphone nil. Mine has also cut out of calls by turning itself off (under warranty, so it's going back).

The camera is 3mp, not 2mp and is actually pretty good. Record some video on it and playback is excellent, although sound quality is a bit scratchy.

Some of the apps are rubbish as mentioned previously, why would you bother?

It's still a neat looking toy though and for free, pretty good value.

Everytime I log in, I have to re enter password and user? What's gone wrong? Can be seconds apart.

Trust me Glenn, with a partner and a 20 month old toddler, I have all the "sound and noise" I need at home, hence why a bellowing V8 appeals.

I simply don't like those A4s. They have minimal space and cost a fortune to repair, like $3k on a 60k NZ new one for a clutch. I do like the E55, but based on a friends S55 Kompressor, suspect they are even worse. At least they sound good though.

If it's complete, I'll take it.

Nice to see you're about still.

Try an insurance broker, pick 3 at random from the yellow pages and see what they come up with. The first time I did this, I saved over 30%, with the same insurer.

Everytime the engine cranks over she will start up so not a spark or fuelling issue. its sometimes when you switch the key to start nothing happens, except i hear a click like a relay tripping but nothing else. is there a relay for the starter motor? How do the wires to the auto shift selector (which are now shorted as part of the manual conversion) intergrate into this system to stop the car starting in drive? i should have investigated when i put my new dash in.

Edit: for the record i dont have an imobiliser.. i havent wired it up yet because it is just going to get in the way of sorting this problem

When you find it, post it up, I have a very similar problem in the 'vert. Sometimes turn the key and a click or nothing, keep trying and when it cranks, will start every time. Never cut out on the move though, so possibly different prob.

A bloke I work with has an '03 E39 NZ New. He has his iPod connected through one of those tape connector things, is that really the best option? I seem to remember they could be connected directly, or am I imagining things?

Eh? What happened?

In E30 fitment? I think there might be.

Which may be fair enough, unfortunately, they fit the rear aswell.

The Herald suspension is used on all sorts of thigs and theres nothing wrong with it. Its a good reliable double wishbone set up that was used on the Lotus 7s and most other specials of the day

Yeah, that swing axle rear is a treasure that should be used to this day.

Beware, one of the Sth Island ones is based on a Triumph Herald, suspension and all. Can't remember which one.

My dad had a Series 3 replica, semi pro built, weighed 499 kilos and had about 120-130hp, was quite quick, but useless if you were over about 5'10". I couldn't get behind the wheel. Good fun though and awesome handling (from the passengers seat).

The 3.2 is my fav 911 by far, esp in Turbo wide body.

Back in the day, it was tested at 5.4 to 100km/h, it's not slow and not gutless by any stretch of the imagination.

Jon Pottinger from the Powerhaus in Wgtn is very very knowledgable and often knows of good cars for sale, he would be well worth a call for info if nothing else.
