  1. Completely depends on the marketplace- classic car values went mad in the 1980s, then dropped severely... There are some exceptionally valuable classics in NZ, that would most likely be sold overseas if they found their way to sale. I'm not sure how much the CCX is worth new - but there's bound to be some super rare classics in NZ worth over two million dollars on a good day at auction. For the record, the highest price ever paid for a car was in 1987, for a 1931 Bugatti Royale - A cool US$8,700,000!
  2. There's a Blower Bentley with a hoard of racing pedigree owned by the Southward family, that I occasionally see on a blast round Lower Hutt... I would think it's worth a fair fortune? I'd say the most expensive cars in NZ are ones with exceptional history. Oh and those GTHO Falcons, haha!
  3. Still beyond unimaginative. I think a hermaphrodite would prefer Chick'n'McTuggits. They're the ones with both bits right?
  4. You are of course, correct on that technicality. However, I don't feel especially 'pwned', as suggested by some of the less imaginative posters. I feel I must reconstruct my attempt at comedy with the following quasi-academic discourse. The inclusion of the 'Fish' suffix in combination with the fellatio part of the etymology denotes that the gender specificity of the oral sex act has in fact changed- Oral sex performed on the penis being fellatio, but the anatomical and sexuality switch is represented by the 'Fish'- a term which is often prevalent in jokes pertaining to the amusing phenomenon that is lesbianism. Thus, the specifics of the act of fellatio is lessened in its importance, by the pun created around the name of a popular McDonalds seafood burger, and its inference to female homosexuality.
  5. Happy birthday, our favourite provider of dirty jokes!
  6. What is a lesbian's favourite McDonald's burger? A Fellati O' Fish.
  7. Wish they had excluded Dunne, but very glad to see ACT in there.
  8. He's not an economic liberal, so I'm not expecting much except Kennedy-esque hot air. Still, beats beating round the Bush, any day.
  9. Is that a Citroen Traction Avant in the background of the first picture?
  10. I just got a $80 fine in the mail for doing 57km/h near a failed abortion academy, sucky.
  11. Wow, I've never seen a speaker-less E30 rear tray, that's got to be a rarity. My car came with some non-nasty looking 6"x9"s mounted above some black plastic things, about 2 inches high. I'm not one for electrics and stereo type gadgets, and can't even work an iPod, so they have stayed. I think they sound fine, and there is no noticeable vibration from the mountings. I really hate those speakers that looks like spiders, though. They look like the sort of thing someone who has a blanket with a tiger on a Harley Davidson on their living room wall would like. I hope nobody here has them.
  12. Yes- not many sold here though, and it wasn't standard on any E30 models. But it was optional, on all but 316i.
  13. Nothing says early 1990s luxury like diagonal striped print velour doorcards.
  14. Why can only electing a gay man as President, get America out of Iraq and Afghanistan? Because only a gay man knows when it's time to pull out of a sh*t hole.
  15. Looks a bit Korean to me... Back seats? What's the point, BMW already have three four seat convertible models available- keep one small and lithe!
  16. In descending order of age; A Fiji Green E36 328i Touring, manual with Dove Grey leather, and every option. A Z1. (25k EUROS, ok!) A 2002 tii A BMW 700 Coupe for some rear engined econo-fun And a BMW Dixi, boat-tailed speedster body, please.
  17. iS lip: Tech 1 rear spoiler: (it's like a bigger version of the one you have now, with both a rubber and colour-coded section.
  18. I love CirrusBlau for some odd reason. Cool car, it had the two tone dashboard from memory of the Trade Me listing? Definitely a good score- no doubt you'll keep it tasteful- would suit an iS lip and a Tech1 rear spoiler, methinks.
  19. The front of the Crossman Mini bears an unfortunate resemblance to a first generation Daihatsu Sirion...
  20. Is it an S? Or is it just a 24 pound badge?! (See Top Gear crap 70s car challenge!)

    My favourite quote was "I could rape some of the cars here silly", when they visited the auto show.
  22. It's a scary thought, a stupid person with that much money. Imagine, they might even think they could be Prime Minister!
  23. I wish the McGillicuddy Serious Party would come back. Turning Wainuiomata into an authentic Scottish Loch was perhaps the most inspired piece of policy I have seen. I would like to see them regroup, and expand on this idea by providing a waterslide down through Eastbourne. It would be a great way for me to get to work/fishing/ or even Wellington, if the Loch-tidal current generated were strong enough, and practically carbon neutral, thus sating the greener among us. We're all winners, under McGillicuddy. Except Wainuiomartians. They'd be under water. Unfortunately, they have gone quiet. So I'll be voting ACT, as they are the only party who have so far respected my 'No Advertising Material' sign. I think it's a sound basis on which to vote- on discussing with others, ACT are also the party most likely to leave me in peace.
  24. My parents sold their 1987 320i Automatic for $4500 in 2003. Mum had it from a year old- inherited from her father who bought it new. With 72,000km on the clock, and in well above average condition, it was still hard to find a buyer. Just not that desirable, with the flood of imports etc.
