haha funny you should mention that - i got 2 bald 18s on the back... i got 2 2 replace them with, but at the moment they are too much fun!!! Weve had a bit of wet weather on the weekend - skidz on in the wagon - was in the Onekawa Industrial area for about an hour late as at night on sunday having a heap of fun. But a lil silver bimmer is a lot looser than that in the dry!!! im having too much fun on the baldies!!! I just dont want to get pulled up! Grant: did you actually see the time that i managed to go thru the cones right out sideways? I thought those cones were just wide enough to drive thru normally!!! boy, was I wrong! I went thru fully sideways, then when i got it back into line i looked in the rear view mirror and saw the cones still standing! Mean!

i reckon wait until the nest dixi comes out - there should be a few of us in that - we were all out on the track, and im sure that daivd? brace had a camera down on the hair-pin... Massive! of yea tim - its the same dixi we were looking at at taupo a? thats a styly shot!

Harsh I'm seeing this car on Wednesday, ask Gus afterwards. ill beat everyone else to it - you didnt fulfil the challenge - pics!!! LOL

i think its actually a bit of pollen - we got trees at home that give off the same looking stuff - i think they are acashas(sp!) or somthing - they come from the wattle family tree (haha - seriously they are a breed of wattle trees that have their own little sub name thing) - ahhhhrgh i know what i mean, but i cant write it down -too hard!

this link got so random so fast... haha how to scare the new chick off!!! however thats some pretty big earth moving sh*t! got a big motor scraper? I reckon those things would be fun!

hehehe what a sales man - are you on commission for this? seriously, thanks for the info - im getting one when i eventually get my personalised one... just duno what to get yet!

dats seriously seriously nice!!! WANT ONE!!!!!! I love it!

yeah bro that would be massive. No cash riding on it tho - i can gurantee you'd smoke me... but im always up for a race (on the track) - even when i know im going to get my ass kicked! You'll just have to let me know when its on!

Im not going to diss V8 M3 until I had at least had a go in it! This is my opinion, but wouldnt BMW going FWD like wreck all of BMWs history? They havnt produced a FWD yet, why start now? I know that the fact they were all RWD was a contributing factor in the purchase of my one... Imagine a FWD 325i... common imagine it! It would be pus - much like a Nissan Maxima I would imagine - really really nice to drive, but at the end of the day, when you want to nail it across an intersection you aint gunna get the power to the ground as well. (I have driven a few Maximas, and if they werent FWD i would buy one - they are rather well appointed cars - quite quick, comfortable seats (most of them electronically controlled) most with factory alloy wheels, and all the other creature comforts you would expect. So no one burn me for saying somthing derogatory about another brand of car!) Back to my point - BMW would be ruined if they went FWD - keep up the fun! Blair.

hahaha good call... brock wannabes and johnson wannabes (im sure hes like the ford equivilant or somthing) are as you said pwn3d before they get the car off the lot...

hahaha i did it because the voices in my head told me to!

haha whittlin on the back porch, listenin to the banjo? watching the first car drive by fred flinston style, could that be closer? haha im sorry - had to add that, your little annecdote kinda reminded me of some of those american films (and the simpsons) "Hey Ma! We're havin Roadkill for tea"!!!) seriously - lego is mean! But as gus said, man thats a lot of money!!!

the drags at the masterton aerodrome dont have the time displays because its basically only a temporary thing - you know drag way one day air strip the next... hehe all good tho - I rekon the should be a facility like that in napier - our airports too busy. It would be good to go watch some racing - particularly if they bust out the likes of the croydons GTR or Reece Mcgreggors GTR etc. We could have a mini 4&rotary nats here in the bay! MEAN!

hahaha Ill admit to doing stupid stuff in ALL of my cars - every single car Ive owned (or is that "pwn3d" *sic?) has been sideways, in fact Ive spun every single one of my cars out (many times) I dont dare do it on busy days tho - thats just stupidity, but late at night on wide abandoned roads (if im on the road - otherwise its the track) i admit to having a bit of a play. Before I bought my Bimmer I had a '95 Nissan Pulsar GTi. It was front wheel drive, non turbo, factory LSD, factory front and rear strut braces, and it was honestly nuts for a bog standard 1800cc car. (to be totally honest, I miss it!)Anyway, I used to go out to the "illegals" every weekend, would participate most of the time (bit of fun - whoever said its not, i can assure you, its primo to just haul ass in a straight line and whip the sh*t out of someone in an Integra or somthing - call it testosterone(sp?) or what you will - I was addicted) Then I bought my bimmer... a "sensible car", a safe car, and a STYLEY as F*CK car! since then I havnt been to any illegal drags, havnt done as much stupid stuff, and even slowed down a lot. But that doesnt change the fact that the cops target the "boy racers" because the police perceive young people to be an easy target. I cant talk for other cities but Napiers problem with "boy racers" is minimal, as far as I know the illegals still happen - but i dont know/care where/when. Napiers biggest problem are the aging peter brock wannabes, who go get the latest commodore (clubby/ss/monaro/even fords) and drive them hard doing stupid stuff. The cops dont touch them because they are more of a fight - they have been around and know what they can and cant do, and are more likely to have an argument with the cop if they feel they are being ticketed unjustly. My opinion is yeah sure - confiscate the cars of people who get caught doing stupid stuff, except the cops should be fairer and do EVERYONE! not just the easy targets - take the cars of the brock wannabes too. The amount of stuff they get let off with is astronomical! Thats my 2c worth - the "boy racer" part of it is for me over - it doesnt hold interest for me anymore. Id much rather go play at taupo or manfield or somthing! Or for the straight line stuff i dont mind driving all the way to mere mere to have a race!

yeah man for sure - also Fear Factory! Particularly "Shock" That song is the best for getting amped up when your doing nuffin...

under the new frontal impact laws and stuff, you cannot import anything older than approx 1996 unless it complies with the frontal impact standards.IE a E30 M3 wont comply. It stinks eh! maybe what you could do is import it, then buy a coupe and swap everything you can!!! But I duno if thats what I would do - because at the end of the day it will look like one, go like one, and everyone will think its one (unless they know otherwise) but to your heart you will always know that its not quite the real deal!!! But having said that, if i can find a wrecked E36 of E46 M3 (that are beyond repair) and swapping everything to my bimmer - you know how mean that would be? I wouldnt badge it up as an M3 or anything, just leave it looking stock as! Especially if I found an E46 - you know how sweet 252Kw would be out of a non turbo? would leave a lot of things dead and standing around Hawkes Bay!!!

I love S15 silvias - it was going to be an S15 (with no wing) or the bimmer (with no wing!) in the end, practacallity won out and I ended up buying my sherman tank! (I mean that in the nicest possible way!) As for posting my before and after pics, have a look at the rides section of this and look at the E36 of mine - i chucked on my dealer pics a while back with my slightly older photos. Since those pics tho I have lowered it - it sits bang on the 100mm limit - much to the dislike of the local 50.... haha i luv it!

hahahahahahaha you sound sooooo snobbish there... "shall we take the aston?" haha mean.

haha ill be too broke to go to fiji - im trying to save so i can become a student and not get a student loan. Its alright tho, Ill still be able to go somwhere round here - just gimme heaps of notice!

that was absolutly brilliant!!! haha mean!

The american Gumball/cannon ball run is shown on the Teckademics DVDs, the first DVD "teckademics mischeif" is mean az.. The opening scene is Dado (from DTM Power) doing donuts in his old M3 outside the White House. The other 2 are pretty much all Gumball They are called "Teckademics Gumball 3000" and "Teckademics 'Mischief Destroy'" they all feature Bimmers rather prominently very worth watching!

"yeah mate, Juts look for the line of bimmers cruising up the motorway, they just flew past me!!!" haha nark the whole lot in for sh*t they didnt even do.... Rank, but it would be kinda funny, especially if everyone does it, and say that they are the ones being civilised, and everyone else are being nutters!!! Haha funny az

dealer pics when I bought it it didnt work - ill do it again tomorrow. too munched to do it now!

haha yeah man i agree - what sort of damage would that be doing to the side of the car? Surely he didnt have to go that far!!! (i can tell its a wreck - no front guards/tail lights etc

Oh the joys of an older car!!! Bad run of luck dave, but dodgy wiring bypasses sound a bit like playing with fire (possibly literally!!!) Good luck on getting it fixed, and hopefully it aint too expensive. If it is your fuel pump, get some hearty as aftermarket one!!! thats got to help with your advanced timing eh!!!
