Find a new radio station dude...

[tactful no comment]

L O L You're kidding me.

I had seen a bus-stop poster for that but thought it was a joke. Shows how much time I spend watching TV!

One of the guys on the sylvia site was investigating designs of radar-resistant cars... I think I found his wheels.

"Legal theft" doesn't wash with me I'm afraid. I'm talking here about the repeat offenders accruing thousands and thousands of dollars and in fines for speeding, driving without a license and other nuisance crimes. They don't have the means nor the will to pay for it out of their own pocket. It just seems logical to confiscate the offending vehicle, sell it to help offset the cost of the fines. I'm not talking about pigs with grudges on the roads, I'm talking about debt collection.

Nah sic I was responding to the post before yours.I understood you fine (and I'm probably older that you are, and my wife is from California so I know ALL about the Rodney King riots). Fines are not the answer... we read in the paper all the time about losers accruing thousands of dollars in fines they will never pay. Confiscating the cars & selling them to pay for the fines might work better!

Uhh... what does that mean in english?

Man that cartoon series totally kicks @ss.

1 kW = 1.34 bhp, so that looks about right.

Quoting power at the wheels & comparing with another car's power at the flywheel gets confusing. What output does the R32 GTS-T make at the fly?

Fair call... and if we listen to the police every 10bhp reduction in car power is linked directly to a reduction in road fatalities. Mind you with the average fines down here I could wallpaper my lounge with stickers.

"Seven cars impounded in boy racers sting 20 March 2004 Seven cars were impounded and almost 300 traffic tickets issued during an overnight operation against boy racers in south Auckland, police said today. The operation took place in the Smales Rd and Harris Rd area of East Tamaki, a popular venue for off-street racing. A police spokesman said officers went through 200 cars, issuing about $100 in fines. Seven cars were impounded under legislation passed last year to combat boy racers, while 291 tickets were issued for a range of offences." 200 cars... $100 in fines? Thats $0.50 each! I'm moving to Auckland!!!!

I agree, ripe for modification. The R34 GTR will be an icon for some time though, have you seen what they've done to the Skyline recently??

The GT-T is already 205kW in stock form, like the GT-R. However I hear if you re-chip the GTR & remove the rev-limiters there is easily 350kW to be obtained without major changes to the block, injectors, turbos, airflow etc.

Umm... that would work. They should sell a chimp with every new BMW.

Yeah me too. My 10 year plan is to own a new M3. Though I've tested the last model of the Skyline GT-T (about 80% of the performance of the GTR) and it was a very easy car to drive fast. Foot down on the Motorway onramp... look down at the speedo & its already showing 140. I liked the HICAS 4WS as well, my old Celica GT-R had that too.

Close but no cigar... The chinese restaurant guys own the entire building, they park their aging Mercedes in the allyway.

Yep touring up behind the sports cafe is their carpark. And he doesn't live in Mt Cook, hes down on the wharf. He traded his grey Z4 on the M3 vert... still owns the black X5.

Yeah my Silvia was crazy fun to drive. Its the turbo with the RWD in the wet that unhinges a lot of people. I know of two $40k Silvias written off by colleagues of mine (hey I did $25k of damage to my one!)

How about this quote from that thread... Honda (n) hon-duh: Coming from the Swahili word Hoonduh, which means "When I grow a real penis, I'll get a real car"

She works for a software development company in Korea House (up above the Sports cafe on the corner of Tory & Courtney).Her boss just traded his Z4 on a new M3 convertible.

I've personally been pinged down there by a speed camera... and know at least 3 workmates who have too.
