Sick Puppy

Feb 2012 Bumpage - selling lots of stuff as we are considering moving overseas

Tools - Koken, Snap on, Aigo, NWS, Knipex, a SAFA chest and unknown brand middle box, and Norbar and Warren & Brown Torque wrenches

Books and CD's most at $1 reserve - bit of dance, bit of rock, as well as everything from Matthew Reilly to erm, well a bit of everything really!

A bunch of household stuff - deep fryer, barbeque, desk, chest.

There is plenty more coming - auctions should mostly finish on Mondays

edit: Selling more stuff...

My old man use to build these

That looks nice! I'd like to have a crack at making something like that... one day.

In the meantime, I've amended the thread title- anyone here know anything about table saws? That's pretty much the information I need, and since I know nothing about them, any information I can get about them would be appreciated- cheers!

Yeah- I realised that I was as obsessed with tools as I am with Beemers! My searches kept on ending up there, figured it was time to join... not many kiwis on there though

Any others as well as Eurorec? I'll be in the market for E34 bits at some point (probably far in the future lol)...

Hi ya everyone, yes it is an utterly random and non-BMW related question (or even car related for that matter), but does anyone here know of any NZ based forums about woodwork and cabinet making? I had a quick look today and couldn't find anything...

The reason I ask is that a workmate is looking to buy a table saw to make cabinets etc, and wasn't able to either find the model he wanted (it's coming here in 2011... at twice the price ) or much in the way of information in general. I thought I'd have a look around as I like researching this kind of stuff, and was pretty surprised that there isn't anything NZ-based.

SO, does anyone here know of any sites etc?

edit: changed thread title to concentrate on Table saws

Has the same info as carjam, but prints onto a page better

No idea if these are applicable as they're for an E34, but:

has workarounds for if key sequence is not an option...

Aah, Garage journal- agree completely, I have spent countless hours in this site, and learnt more about tools there than anywhere else. I have a whole folder on Firefox for threads in this site... I found it a while back with some random thread about converting the back of a van to a tool cabinet... and then someone somewhere pointed me to this thread, and it is awesome!

I'll leave you guys to check it out, but if you have an interest in tools, garages and mancave stuff, it is definitely worth a visit!

I need a new e34 shell, and then bushes all over, possibly (probably) suspension, and I wouldn't mind some wheels and tyres... which kinda makes me think that I've forgotten something... something I was meant to do... [shrugs] it'll come back to me.

Cheers, will give you a holler when I have some $$ to spend. Just so that I/we know what we're looking at, do you know what the website is for the German Post Office? Is it http://www.deutschepost.de? Seems to be DHL?!

Figuring if we know, we can factor it into our budgets...

only got the 1?

+1, as timing isn't great for me at the mo.

Looking at this for my impending E34 project, if there anything I should also upgrade at the same time as this? Will it pur more pressure on the gearbox syncros? I remember reading this somewhere, no idea where...

Hey mate, how about a Panzer tank? Could you FEDX me one?

I've just hired a German guy FOB. They seem to be pretty nice and straight up people.

Well, if ya do it bit by bit... just like the GI's shipping M16's and jeeps back from vietnam! lol

Quinn, there are a few tools (NWS Pliers) I'd like to order from ebay.de, would this be feasible? And thanks from all us Bimmersporters for offering this to us, it really is appreciated!

So what are you up to in Germany?

an 535is is prolly cheaper than a 325 and the 5 is a much much nicer car,and they DONT rust

Unless they're from the UK- the one I have is rustier than a rusty thing, I will be very happy stripping and reshelling it- gives me something to do at least!

But I'd have an E30 in any shape any day of the week- 'vert, coupe, sedan or touring. Anything you don't like about it can be replaced or upgraded by aftermarket newer gear, and IMO it still looks better than most cars that have come out since. Definitely in the top ten of cars I'd look at given the opportunity and the $$.

Having gone through the process last year with two different vehicles, the re-VIN rules are different for pre-'90 and post-'90 cars. For 1990 or later, the inspection is extensive and invasive, but for pre 1990 cars the inspection is little more involved than a very thorough WOF.

Just to clarify, I take it you mean vehicles registered in NZ pre and post-1990, or do you mean vehicles made pre or post-1990?

Should be a case of just pressing the install button, rather than copying the source code. Greasemonkey will install it automatically if it has a '.user.js' extension.

I get what you mean about the not too familiar. I hardly get this stuff and my major is computer science

Install button?

[oh, you have to be f***ing kidding me...]

Fry, thank you- I feel like a right muppet, I cannot believe I didn't see the install button! lol Works like a charm... thanks again!

After you've gone to the link in the OP, follow the steps in the description. Should be a green install button on each of the links in step 1 & 2.

Make sure to restart firefox after it has installed greasemonkey.

Thanks- what I mean though is that I have DL'ed Greasemonkey, it is more the installation of the script for Trademe that I cannot install.

In terms of the script, under the source code text in http://userscripts.org./scripts/review/10349, I take it I copy everything from /* to } ?

Also, where do I put it? Do go into the Trademe website, right click on the greasemonkey symbol, click on New User Script, and then...? Where to put this code? IN the 'Includes" box? Or have I missed a step entirely?

Thanks for your help JFry, sorry for n00b questions, not too familiar with coding stuff!

Okay, anyone got an idiots guide to using this please? I must be looking at this whenever I'm tired, but each time I look at it, it's failboat FTL

Happy Birthday man, hope all is going well up in Aucks!

Have you gotten another vehicle yet?

I'm moving house, they've gotta go!

Been meaning to put them on here for a while, but work and packing have been keeping me busy!

Moving house on 2 July, selling a lounge suite (two one seaters and a three seater) and a fridge. Both are in good nick.

Sofa does have a tear at the back, but fabric is still tight and hard to see unless you know where it is;

Fridge has a few dents, and seal has a small tear on outside of seal- still sealed, and no problems with temperature.

There will be a few other bits and bobs I'll be getting rid of, nothing major though. Thanks for looking!

Doubt it would make financial sense Glenn, considering what E34s are worth now?

Probably not, but 540 gear in great nick? If the money was right, I'd have a crack at a swap just for a hobby!

Hell, I'll be doing this with a broken 535 soon... [shrugs]

Might or night not be an option for you, but I'm shipping a five series from Wellington to Christchurch in the next week or so. If no one with a towbar is coming up this way, maybe we can call up a company and have them do us a deal?

If you've no luck finding one, I can have a look for it here in Wellington, and post it to you? Let me know I'll PM you account details if I find one.

Classic!

I want a nerf gun thing for picking off my workmates now

lol my wife got me one for Christmas, just after our nerf war stopped

Now all I need is the rechargeable battery, a few mods and...

I'm almost dreading watching this- I love watching the show, but some of the stuff they pull makes me shudder, it really does! And with an Eight series?!

What he says^^^

+2 Metrics are used by virtually no one nowadays (or at least no one of consequence), so no one really makes them, or spends time investing in the machinery/ development for them... and like Brent says, tyre technology has improved a bit since then!

imperial wheels FTW... sorry!
