Ooof. Yeah we lost some expensive gear into the harbour the other week. Mostly recovered though. But had taken months to get it out of China in the first place.

Our suppliers out of China are saying the same, that it will be 4- 5 months before things normalise. there's going to be the usual Chinese New Year slowdown plus a month of Covid allowance.

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Loved the weather over my Xmas break. It's looking typical for my next stint after New Years too. When summer finally hits in March for a week or so I look forward to getting out and about. I missed the snow. But I didn't want it to snow here ffs.

qube 3570 Report post Posted January 13, 2021 This reminds me of a time when I was cruising along SH1 in auckland and a concrete mixer truck had the flap come loose and started dropping dried up concrete bits all behind him. unlucky for me because I was sandwiched between the truck and a car on both the left and right and took massive hits to the windscreen and front cracking both headlights, windscreen and denting the bonnet. Couldnt even get the rego plate to report his ass cuz the plate was covered in concrete and illegible. surprise surprise.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 36 Report post Posted January 13, 2021 The astonishing amount of incompetent sellers on TradeMe. Appalled at the amount of morons, time-wasters, and straight LIARS. Twice in the space of two days I've been in contact with people who claimed that their cars were in perfect working order. Upon receiving the latest invoices from their mechanics they each needed $1500+ spent. Like, it literally says it. You told me it didn't need anything, then you gave me the paperwork to prove yourself wrong. What is wrong with these people? 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, nothing wrong with a 20 year old BMW... lol.... who is the seller trying to fool ? Some common statements in car ads and what I think they translate to. "gOeZ hArd 4 wAT it iZ" (Not only is it a basket case, it's a thrashed basket case) "timing chain, no cambelt" (Engine is lucky to have had an oil change in the last 20,000kms) "new tyres" (Yep new tyres from China... are they even made of rubber) ? "cheap on gas" (runs it on 91 when it should be 95 minimum) 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navin 180 Report post Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Forgot the ask the dealer to skip the 'complimentary wash' when it went in for its Service today.. Kicking myself now. Once again got the car back looking worse than when I dropped it off! Honestly makes you wonder how a 'premium' brand can't even wash cars right..

Eagle 1662 Report post Posted January 15, 2021 I wouldn't expect them to be any better or worse than all your typical manufacturer dealerships when it comes to washing. The average persons paint correction standards combined with the volume they likely do isn't a good combo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
