There has been much talk of emissions testing as part of the WoF for a long time, and for a while it did sound like they were going to get serious about it. But like a lot of things it seems to have gone onto the back burner

I reckon even if they did it that you'd just end with numerous WOF places just passing\making up results anyway, just like they do for smoke tests which these vehicles would clearly fail. Cant see the enforcement side of it being very effective either.

this should be compulsory viewing, at 2% of the fleet now but what happens when its 20%, imagine on the cook straight ferry

Any day with a parts delivery is a good day…

.. but when it’s the M3 panel you’ve been waiting for it is “choice bro” for sure!

After a lot of searching I found the info I was looking for. Not on a forum, or a Facebook page, but in an official NZTA document.

"It is permitted to replace a complete halogen headlamp unit with a complete HID or LED headlamp unit. If the vehicle is required to meet an approved safety standard for headlamps, only approved headlamps can be retrofitted."

That's all I needed. Had no plans to use a drop-in bulb or similar - do the job properly or not at all. :D

EV company car for the win! Zero fuel bill, RUCs paid.

Also next to no brake dust as regen braking is used 99% of the time for single pedal driving (wonder what old 3pedals would have to say about that) so don’t have to clean alloys that often.

Amongst other things 😜

Non car things over the weekend.  Small bikes instead.  Massive amount of fun.
Syds Run 2024 in Christchurch.  A charity run for leukemia in the name of the guy who started this event. Syd.

560 odd scooters and small CC bikes.  I've been two years in a row now.  Syds 100th Birthday (RIP) would have been next year.  They reckon there is going to well over 600 bikes this time.
Buy a sh*t bike, chuck on your battle jacket and join the fun.  Live your Pest Life.

I have a 1978 Yamaha Chappy LB80 which is a laugh.

I can smell the 2-stroke fumes through my screen 😁

I don't think my riding gear will ever not smell of it after that run.
They have announced next years run and it should be huge.
