Is that a Phaeton?
Spotted Taryn (writer of iheartstance) at Giltrap Great North Road. Didn't realize she was working there until someone pointed out.
Sprint Blue RS4 Avant (B7) heading south at Awatoto (between Napier and Hastings) this morning. Not seen one in that colour in the flesh before - looked very good.
Also saw a red 130 Abarth just prior, Drew?
Saw another B7 RS4 later in the day but this time a black sedan. Wife agreed that it was a very good looking car.

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't exactly speak much to her, kinda had a 'star struck' moment. :D
Is she famous ?
Has she been on Shorty Street ?

I've been following her for a while now, have always wanted to meet the person behind the blog so it's good to finally meet her in person but caught totally off-guard hence the "star struck" moment.
I guess the word "famous" means differently to each individual. :)
It doesn't hurt that she's reasonably good looking ;)
Haha I did the same at NZPC Hardpark. Walked over, said hi then hadn't a clue what to say next. Probably looked like some weird internet stalker or something.

Gun metal grey B8 RS4 on Hill Rd in Manurewa, the guy across the road from me in his nice Ferrari 458 as well as his California (he doesn't take them out much) and the bloke down the road in his circa 2004 Lambo Gallardo - proof that being a tradesman (sparkie) can be a very well paying profession these days.
Softlad in his red racing machine on the harbour bridge on my way home from work yesterday

That would be more likely for a RR, the Bentley is for a slightly different market

at Tristram right now! talked to one of the salemen, EMD brought in two, hoping to sell them between $17 & 18k, but they ended up at over $22k so it's not happening for now, so Tristram have them both, one red, one white, alloys, heated leather seats, 1 litre 5 speed manual, apparently drive really well, about the size of a Suzuki Swift, but look less like a clog
Tristram also had an R-line Polo and a couple of new Beetles, which are apparently selling quite well
so if you want an UP!, get in quick
Why on earth would they have heated leather seats and alloys?, obviously not interested in selling these in NZ.
Bottom of the line car, specced right out of it's market.

and in manual too? who is the target market? :P
The autos are rubbish from all accounts, so the manual is the only way to go but the spec is all wrong for the potential buyers, who do the think are going to buy them, Audi drivers?
steel wheels and cloth seats would get it closer to the target price, apparently the autos are a mechatronic single clutch device, slow changes unlike the DSG
Yeah, just an automated manual in reality, apparently OK on the open road but jerky around town and manouvering, just when a proper auto would be at its best.
As you say, steel wheels, cloth interior, manual transmission and they would be heading in the right direction. No sat nav or any other gizmos unrealated to actual driving would be a bonus

thing is they'd need a decent auto and aircon to compete even in the basic market
Aircon is probably needed altho in saying that I don't use mine that much, decent auto, maybe but I would be happy with a manual.
Probably a Skoda would suit me more, they look better as well

I'm pretty sure that is the one that had some 'enthusiastic parking' by a renault employee which resulted in it having to be reshelled. I looked at it when it was for sale post and decided against it due to its history and some interesting shut lines.

What's so special about the 2012 Audi RS4 Avant's brakes?
Audi is so keen to keep the mass down in this vital area it's actually adopted a 'wave' brake disc design for the standard stoppers, saving 3kg. Familiar from superbikes, these have a distinctive wavey edge, helping the pads bite and the discs maintain shape at high temperatures.

Truth be told the guy apparently is quite a hard case. No goatee to speak of, tats yes.
I see a lot of the body work stuff at the shop that did the chrome wrap, involves custom work, rather than out and out repairs.

Yeah.. I thought they would grow on me.. But I'm definitely going to Daily Driver/Track Racer the R32 now, the whole stance thing with the R messed with the handling etc..
Quote from: creepdontsleep on February 14, 2013, 09:18:46 PM
the whole stance thing with the R messed with the handling etc..
Wow really?
It will be because of your staggered rims Tim, they always recommend running all wheels at the same rolling radius i.e. same width and tyre profile especially on 4wd cars. Prolonged use of staggered rims can damage haldex etc from my research.
Yup! the different offsets, widths of rims and the tyre sizes made it difficult to throw the R into a corner i usually take pretty hard. felt uncomfortable and unsafe..
just to clarify
Stock MK5 R32 wheels
18x7.5 51et all around
225/40/18 tyres
Alphards
18x8.5 35 et front
215/40/18
18x9.5 40et rear
225/40/18
More poke, stretched tyres, different offsets and widths did have an effect on the haldex. But not noticeable enough until: you really corner hard that right hand bend up the slope with no camber on the road. The r32 understeered through it, when it always GRIPS like caked on bird crap on your bonnet.
definitely going lighter wheels and a R32 diet! :)
HALLELUJAH !

A crap tonne of fresh imports from japan... it is damning appauling the amount of fresh imports that go thru these docks every week... i cringe everytime i look out the window filled with realization as why my NZ car value is plummeting :(....
Also did notice a few undamaged mk4 golf fresh imports on the docks i had heard a few loop holes had opened in the import laws but didnt think people would bother importing such antiquated vehicles....

friendly wave from the driver of another MK4 wagon as I was pulling out of the driveway, a red one with Long Beach wheels, one of ours?
Was cruising in my Polo GTI on Monday along Taharoto road, and saw another red Polo GTI 9n3 lowered on coils with very wide offset wheels... said hi and told him to join VASK! Seemed like a nice young bloke... it was a jap import with number plate starting with F... Probably had a down pipe as the exhaust was louder than standard.
He probably thought mine was pretty standard - I like mine to look as stock as possible.

Not car related but spent 3 odd hours out at Trentham (Wellington RC Aero club) watching RC choppers etc today as they are having a fun fly weekend.
a national event , so people from all over NZ. fri , sat and sun dedicated to RC helicopters (and a few quads) so if you are in the area and love this stuff I'd recommend taking a look. really nice guys and are happy to talk
quite a few people flying (3 areas) so you didn't have to wait long to see some action. and often there were 3 up at once.
saw one guys chopper come to grief and shoot the rotors off in opposite directions and the thing sail to the ground.
it's pretty much next to the shooting range at Trentham (no , they don't take pot shots at the annoying things as they face the other way)
i didn't take any photos of any actually flying which was pretty lame! i think i was like a possum caught in the head lights!

Same deal with me, I was driving side by side with a Mk7 today.
I definitely saw a Mk7 Golf yesterday, in dark grey, a TDI. The woman driving was an absolute bitch, tailgated me up the off ramp and forced her way past once she got a gap. I had to slow down because of the traffic in my lane. ::)
Just saw a Mk1 Octavia vRS with the plate GRN PA

I do like how the towie strapped the car down over the tyre instead of using the rims (like I've seen in other pics).
They unloaded them with a bit of confidence and caution. Looked like they had handled these types of cars a bit.

I see a guy in a grey R50 every morning at my coffee stop cafe. He has MTM wheels on his.
They have unique suspension (shock PN's), and use Cayenne Turbo sway bars, bigger brakes (suspect porsche turbo again).
Power is up, and interior gets better bits.
ie more that just a pretty body kit.
From memory they were another $40k over the regular V10 !

I had one of these to use for a month and a half last year.. great fun heaps of torque... but mostly wank factor... it was ok on the open road..i took it to Mt Ruapehu a few times... the suspension height control is annoying if its set to auto it does all sorts of wacky self leveling crap at the lights... it wasn't fantastic on gas but was probably miles better than the petrol equivalent...
I had it permanently set to lowest possible driving position.. and the Suspension stiffness set to sport.. if in comfort if felt like you were on a boat in a storm... (car sickness ensued)
The tiptronic paddles were also ridiculous as they were static (ie didn't move with the wheel) ie only usable when hands were at "9 and 3"
As for the gearbox.. it was clunky and noisy and shifted like an old road ranger transmission (ie slow)
My Passat still had more boot capacity and rear legroom that that thing...

Remember, they are a 4WD, and not a refined car. They are also 10+ year old engineering.
We have our 2006 Touareg 3.0 Tdi set to sport mode for the air suspension the entire time. Plus I vagcom tricked it another 10mm lower.
Our transmission is quite good, and certainly wouldnt call it clunky for a 4wd. It will understeer if pushed, so slower in and power out is essentual.
Overall we quite like it for a big safe family truck that can tow the car trailer like its not even there. The 3.0tdi also does 1000+kms a tank on the open road.
I think I've seen one before hoofing it up an on-ramp. I was coming down the off ramp and saw it across the round about, there was a Integra screaming up the on-ramp and the Touareg just left it for dead. I couldn't believe my eyes seeing such a big pile of metal move so damn quick.

very tidy white Alpine GTA V6 at Northcote shopping centre lunchtime
the Ferrari 355 that lives on the street on Exmouth Rd had its dust cover blown off this evening; PP "AIDS" with the lettering "no" and "110%" either side
At F1 yesterday.
Was pretty cool, lots going on and very entertaining (Jimmy Barnes played which was pretty sweet!)
Too be honest once the F1 cars got moving and you saw a few (or 30 laps) it got a bit same same (to me). We ended up leaving early to ease the pain of getting back to the city.
As an event it was great but I don't think I'd go again.

Last one i like was the cosie 190 2.3-16
However, starting with the C63, i'm beginning to like them!
Or, perhaps its just me getting old, and liking the 'old mans' car :(
What amuses me everytime talk of MB comes up is their MD who I always think looks like a fugitive from an Amish colony, no reflection on the cars but maybe explains beeker's comment

A mate if mine just purchased a new AMG C63 and thought he was in heaven,
when he went to show some mates the sound of this V8 , he started it revd it up and the car went knock a knock a knock,
The car had only done 120klm,
The dealer got the phone call that all car dealers dread, this car cost $169 k,
The car was picked up and returned to Ingham Prestige
So after a diagnosis they found the big end bearings wrer were the blame.
Merecedes sent a new engine out and has just been refitted .
As all these engines are hand built, i bet the guy who signed it will be asked some questions at HQ
This car is amazing and has a real bark in the exhaust,
Robert asked me if i wanted a drive today, but didn't, i would sooner have a drive later,
C63s are a fantastic drive! Go have some fun in it
Make sure you turn the ESP off of course :)

My boss bought one a few weeks back and thought the same. Soon though it started misfiring intermittently. Turned out to be the coils. His was put together by, dare I say it, a woman :-X ;D It's fixed now and goes like stink.
He still can't figure out how to enable the 'race start' mode however. ;D

That number of early Kombi's in nothing compaired to the Nelson Nationals a few years back ! They would have had double that as there was a Kombi South Island Tour straight after & it effectively started at the conclusion of the nationals . As for the Water cooled showing, that would have to be a first with no water cooled?? last year had enough that they had two water cooled catagorys with three prizes in each !
When I look at the shots of the nationals just been, there appears to be one shot of a Blue MK2 Golf with a red late 1980's Passat parked next to it that look to have been RIGHT up the back of the grounds?? So there might have been a couple of cars there ??
Sad showing VASK ;)
I think its become an Aircooled event simply because the water cooled don't show??
Its always a good weekend ( not that I showed up to this years ) Next year is in Timaru

Saw a silver R36 heading out of Palmy on Sunday as I was coming home from the first round of the Intermarque sprints at Manfeild.
Hey schattenblau, did you upload the photos you took on the easter weekend STM playday at manfeild?
Hi,
They're on another SD card.
I'll put some up once card is located.
Was playing around with another camera - no sale.

Yes.
I have a Fujifilm X-100.
Played with the new X-100S.
A step sideways.
Verdict - if you have an X-100, update to latest firmware and save $$$.
If you don't have an X-100 and want one, buy used and save $$$.

Do they set off an alarm - flashing lights, chirps, chimes etc ?
;D
Interesting comments - I really wanted to get X100s - maybe stick with my X100? Is the focus much faster??

Hey, did you get any pics of a White Legacy RS RA at all?
X100s has more pixels (12mp >16mp), starts up a bit faster and AF is a wee bit faster but my X100 with v1.30 firmware wasn't much slower.
Manual focus using the focussing ring still sucks, if I manual focus I use the AFL shortcut.
Plus I'm stingy !
The X100s is $1900 !
:P

Silver MK7 Golf TSI! First Mk7 I've seen in the wild :). Looked really good except the wheels. They sat in the fenders further than a base model MK4 and had loads of ride hight.
I though that look was a think of the past :(. Looked like it was about as low spec as you could get though.

We all obviously do not ride bikes either!!
Having had a close call earlier in the week for this very reason, one is more conscious than the average driver.
As regards driving a Polo, if you have the body for lycra there is no need to roar around the roads in 1500kg of high powered steel to attempt to assert your manhood 8)
The only time you would have an issue of getting past that would be if you had a special needs trike.
Cars, trucks and bikes all share the tarmac roads it is more a case of being aware of each other rather than 'THAT'S MY BIT OF ROAD'
The problem is not getting past, it is when they pass the cyclist on a curve , with the trailer already overhanging the cycle lane (most seem unable to drive in the centre of the lane) they then forget the trailer completely and cut right across the cycle lane often with the towing vehicle as well.
I agree 100% with what you say, plenty of room in most instances to share the space but there are too many bad drivers who do not.
Just try riding a bike, even for one day, and I think your opinion would change
Anyway, I do not want to start another 'them and us argument', so enough said.

Only women have bodies for Lycra. Clearly should be banned for males.

the issue arises when they pass you, the driver might think there's plenty of room, but then the trailer comes along and cut you close, it's mostly unexpected by the cyclist because the vast majority of vehicles don't tow trailers

1840kg actually. Weight of my c*ck.
I do agree that everyone needs to share the road and respect each other. What really annoys me are the cyclists who go on and on about having same rights etc. yesterday I was in Queen St, AKL. Thentraffic lightsmwere red (and had been formsome time) and a bike came up inside me at full noise, through the red light, nearly hit someone crossing the road and then acted like a dick. Imagine doing that in a car.........
They want the rights of a car, but don't want to follow the same rules.

Just looked at stats from nzta accidents with cyclists average 5-6% of total with other motorists , dbl that on top by themselves. Didnt thnk it was that many accidents. Gonna go check how much is spent by ACC on cyclists

A police search of the Hope Rd property they occupied on March 20 last year uncovered $764,830 cash, 4 grams of methamphetamine, 16 weapons, some loaded, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
The Crown successfully argued that Rose and Murray peddled P to the tune of $5.5 million in an unusually secure house where loaded guns were readily available. Security cameras and a buzzer alerted the dealers to anyone straying on to their property. There was a "tick list" showing who owed money and a notebook to keep track of where the cash was stashed.
Spotted today in P-town, some old mutton dressed to the nines, getting out of a new grey RS4.

Correct.
Instead of having the E30 M3 SA had the 333i (3.3) and the 325is (2.7). I dont know why SA never got any E30 M3's CKD kits like they did M5's etc.

Written off RS3 in Napier. The second RS3 to be written off in NZ.
The second? FFS >:(
I love the RS3, its one of my top 3 on my lotto list. Can't believe the privileged idiots that get to buy them and wreck them. Wankers.

I havent heard that it was the drivers fault. May do in time.
owner's son i think - but that was 2nd hand so could be wrong!
I cant fathom what some of these drivers must have been doing to write off a car like that. Going 160kmh around a hairpin corner or something? The road holding and stopping ability of an RS3 is extreme.
Can't find it on turners website. Any idea which dealer is selling it?

I noticed the ride height too just didn't want to mention it lol or else someone might start a whole debate about form vs function again.
I agree with you on the "beautiful" thing, it's more of an acquired taste imo.

Car was at the classic car show earlier this year in Auckland. I like it, had a matchbox car of this too when younger. It does need a little bit of lowering and it would be perfect!!

I think the seats are damaged, they are the standard seats not the racing style ones Fire has got in the car, though I think its only through the hole in the screen.

It's on a hill and a side slope, not doing it any favours. :)) I think the design stands up well, but a couple of sizes up on the wheels and an inch or so lower would be lovely. Great to see stuff like this out in the wild.

From what I've heard, they're bunch of rich kids renting a bungalow up at St. Heliers. Their dad's are tycoons where they come from.
1 white, 1 orange and not sure what the other one is - forever driving side by side up and down Quay Street.
iv seen that white aventador quite often.iv followed it for ages while it
popped and revved like some sort of f1 car echoing off the buildings in the city.
the trans in those things are awsome.
from what iv been told he is 22 and his dad owns sony ericcson.
he crashed his last supercar and was told not to drive silly
on the street so brought 5 more supercars from continental cars and takes them
on a transporter to the track with his mates.be a good mate to have.
so im guessing the other in question maybe his also.
Think the are 2 whites, one orange and one matte black lp700
Young guy with the white one has a collection of high end cars, friends have cars to match, maserati, 335, r8, x6m, rs6, c63 and so on. A few of them don't even hold NZ drivers licenses or have lost their NZ ones

Was very excited to see 2 MK6 Golf GTD's! ;D On road all registered one Silver, one Red.
Sadly being driven by middle aged women with kids in the back in both cases. I guess the good news is one of us may be able to pick them up off TradeMe on a couple of years when they upgrade. ;)

Yea she sold the wheels and the car separately so no one would have the same combo
But the girl who writes loveitlow who also had a white mx5 with bride bucket seats bought them so her car looks identical to taryns old mx5...
And then the one pictured is another one who replicated taryns car
oh real? I didn't know, thought it was loveitlow because her partner bought my BLQs.

Haha, they're not replicas. Just two white MX5's that are low with white hardtops, Watanabes are common on MX5's and hard to find a geniune set in NZ. The other has O.G Sakura's. Unfortunately anyone that does up a white MX5 is going to be labelled a copycat, which is annoying.

I know its a few pages back but the asian guys with Aventadors and what not. One guy, Mike, has several super cars. He crashed his old Lambo on Pukekohe when he had no license or insurance. He's got a BMW M3, 650, a maserati convertible, Aventador, 335, Ferrari 599, and a few others. He's around 27 now, has a restricted license. Family owns one of China's biggest manufacturing companies.
Apparently one time his mum was coming over and they were picking her up from the airport but she doesn't like sitting in the front passanger seat so they bought a porsche cayenne just to pick her up.
Also I'm pretty sure that his parents own the house he lives in

Not as much as you'd think, I regularly see the full spectrum of colours in and around ponsonby, often in the same day. Black, red, blue, gunmetal, silver wagons, and a red sedan
White r36 wagon is very rare. I often see a black, silver and blue wagon daily in Wellington. I get super jealous.. They dont even look after them!

I wondered that, but as I was in the MK4 as a point of reference, it seemed narrow rather than usual width and taller, didn't get enough of a side view around the roundabout to get a good fix on it
Yeah that would b a golf plus :)

No sorry, I have to say I am the worst at identifying older Porshces. 996, 964, 911, etc.

That's the one that's parked at Karaka Bay, guy used to have an Ed 30 golf.
Spotted a black Toyota Sprinter wagon with 2 rear window wipers, like a normal front windshield setup. Don't think I've ever seen a setup like that before. It was odd.

I agree John. I don't think there is anyone that would identify one better than me and I still have to look a few times to do it with the new ones. Whereas the B5 and B7 just jump out even to the non-anorak people. ;D
I would rather have a B8 S4 with a pulley and tune.
Saw a white C63 AMG near Westgate. Angry looking little buggers in real life, I think I could happily drive one.

Ah I see, it was at the supermarket, parked in two carparks. I was gonna take a closer look when I came back out but it was gone by that time. Looks good in the black with those wheels.

You're probably just being a little too sensitive with this whole 'JAFFA' term.
R32T is already insane and I've never heard or an R32TT, not surprised that it exists outside in NZ but rather surprised that it exists at all.

Dude, equally as frustrating when 'out of towners' generalise us jafas. Sure, there are some douche bags, but there are also some douche bags out of the city. I don't know where you 3 came from starting this rant about AKers, but its retarded to read. Bryan was merely surprised that there was a R32TT in NZ, and yes, because it is not documented some people are generally surprised, and intrigued. Myself included.
So how about we cut the BS and get back to the topic at hand. Is the owner of this mysterious R32TT secretive? Or does he have some shots/video/info anywhere?

Not secretive haha, he's probably about 70 and he just drives it, and he doesn't spend much time on the internet, let alone on a VW forum. I only know about it because he's in the club down here.
So to anyone expecting a build thread or pictures anywhere, sorry, but here's a video of a club run we did... it's good value and you get a glimpse of him, Me and user Travatron (now in Aussie unfortunately) at 3:20.

White Aventador near Auckland University at about 3:00pm - just coming out of a meeting and it hooned past....my sainted uncle Fanny...that thing sounds evil with it bark and crackling, popping down shifts. Mi piace molto molto in effetti....
I must have just missed it as I was walking to britomart at the time.
I spotted on high street yesterday afternoon a brand new white M5 and a Silver R8 with some exhaust work down on Shortland Street. Guy was giving it some stick 2 taking off.
Stopped by Fast 4s earlier in the afternoon and test drove the RS4. I love how brutal and raw the car feels, but I just don't fall in love with it at first drive like how I did the Scirocco. :-\

Compared to the few other car I have driven, the RS4 does feels that way. Perhaps I have just never driven similar cars except for the S6 equipped with a 5.2 V10 - now that is something different.
Spotted a slammed B7 RS4 Avant w/ aftermarket exhaust. Man that this is sick!
That crappy sliver Mk4 Golf with the monster wheel arches in Browns Bay, what a pig of a car, bog cracking around the wheel arches.
Also in the last 3 days I spotted 3 different G wagons.
Black MK4 VR6 in black, same as mine.
EUExxx on Eskdale Rd this evening.

Yep on our way back from havelock north. I believe just before woodville this was taken.
Spotted a red Lancia Delta Integrale I believe in Mt Wellington today.
EDIT: Also saw a boring looking silver mk4 2.0 golf with a "Limited Edition" badge under the Golf badge. ??? ::)

Spotted S0FTVW cruising in town tonight. White 1989 Cabrio.
From the ridiculous to the sublime.
A D3 Audi A8 4.2 with the A badge on the boot replaced with an S (why bother?) on the motorway by Onewa Rd.
Immediately forgotten when a black SLS AMG hardtop rumbled past us, and then later this afternoon another SLS AMG silver with a red soft top goes past. They look good in the road that's for sure.
My old RS4 and a absolutely lovely gunmetal grey one both parked within 100m of each other on Oriental Parade this morning *sigh*
I spot a grey big bumper Mk2 GTI 5 Door parked outside the Sangyoungssongeeee dealer in Takanini most days. Anyone on here??
Always admire it and wonder if its an enthusiast car or not, is it just me or do others think that when they see certain cars, the whole "do they know/appreciate what they are driving" type of thing?? I always spot ladies driving some cool cars and think they must have been sold into them by the dealers on the fact they they are top of the line, I spot a young lady in a red Clio RS197 all the time and cant help but think she could be in a Swift Sport for all it matters.

True, my wife gets the same driving our Megane RS, big brakes and sporty looking hatch come coupe, she gets a lot of people trying to race her, mostly middle aged sales reps in Mazda 6's and Commodores, I always laugh when she tells me she batted off some guy in a SV6, I have taught her well 8)

Bob Jones lives (lived?) at the top of the hill in the Hutt Valley where I grew up and he had a Dino (they were never sold as Ferraris) with the silver on black registration plate GT 246, sadly it wasn't rerliable enough for him so he traded it on a 240Z

Despite Ferrari's marketing policy at the time, I still say that they are the best ever looking
Ferrari
And to think they used to be cheap! Because of aforementioned non-Ferrari badging.
new Commodore in the Northcote centre on Saturday, lots of bling!
Spotted brad's mk4 minus decals opposite my work this afternoon.
Also spotted a tidy charcoal mk2 on white BBS RXII's in pakuranga

Haha, so did I - same weekend you were up, we were down and staying on the street. ...Looked very sharp
Spotted today:
- B7 Black RS4 Avant with plate Audibl...cool car, someone here?
- Matte black Lamborghini Aventador with DkNite(I think) pp. Followed it through town, it pulled into Independent Prestige. Absolutely evil looking car. Sounded even more evil than it looked. Guess I have found a car I like more than the B7 RS4!! Pity it's about 10x the price.

When I purchased the GT3 I was told the story. Apparently it was done in the early hours of the morning on the Western M Way and no one was around - so if you're going to try this, it was probably the best time..... The car had been modified a bit and is putting out about 480bhp so is pretty quick. I do miss it now its gone....... It's for sale at CCS if anyone is after a seriously quick GT3!

I know where the Aventador parks. It's actually white with a dark vinyl coating I believe. The owner is really a nice guy and changes his cars like we do our underpants. He also has an Aston Martin but for how long is anyones guess. DB9, DBS, F430 Scuderia, F360, M3, M5, F468, RR Sport, Lambo Super Leggero, Gallardo are just some of the cars I can remember he has had in the last 18 months. Have yet to see an Audi though and probably won't if he hasn't already.

I would have to agree. For years I thought the F50 was quite ordinary. Then when I really looked at a few and went for a drive in one I was truly amazed and had a real respect for the car.
The F50 will be a future money making machine for its owners as there were so few produced.
Hated when new, but loved now..
I've always had a soft spot for the F50 but i have to say my ultimate Ferrari would still undoubtably be the F40

Don't be so quick to judge.
The March definitely. Not my first choice for a 'sleeper', although this one has lost that edge with a gammy wing on the back.
There's a tame looking (except for a small rear wing) 2011 Mitsi Mirage down the road too, but it has a 4B11T powering all four wheels a la Evo style.

I've seen the Orange X5 too, but it isn't half as bad as the BMW 7 series (E65) is see regularly. Picture this: Standard white paint, fluro orange 'V' shape on the bonnet, orange grille, door mirrors, front lip, skirts, rear lip, wheel lips, boot lid...

Yes, Jap spec, thats pretty much the only differnce over Euro spec. US spec have a lot of different features to a Euro spec car, different headlights, side lights, they dont have the extra fuel tank etc.
Having the dogleg box is what people really want. The cars on TM that sit are always Jap or US spec, and I think the Euro spec car gets around about a 10K premium (that might not really be that justified).

Always see a new grey rs4 headed in the opposite direction as me to and from work and seeing a lot more of the white b7 RS4 wagon as well.
I spotted this in the garage of our friends we stayed with in Canada last week.

Yeah mate..although getting pretty sick of this weekend traffic to be honest!
Work is ok at 6:30am, but seeing this sort of s**te on the weekend makes me want to cash up and move further south
yeah tell me about it. Problem with moving further South is...where to? I could do Mt Maunganui, Welly or Lower SI...but honestly, before I did that...it would be Oz for us. Using the bike for commuting at the moment...but a 1000cc sportsbike is a little of an overkill for a traffic commuter.

Have just started training for the Auckland half and its amazing what you notice when out around your local town on foot.
I have noted three VW houses locally, one is only three doors down, they have a Mk5 Golf Diesel Tractor and a V6 Borra in blue, two other places have a 80's Passat and an assortment of other average but rarish VW's.
One thing that had dawned on me is that 80% of the cars you see from the 80's these days are European, seems most of the others have rusted or died out? So much for Japanese reliability.

UK Import Corrado Storm on the wharf
Spotted one of these parked outside my office... nice looking little car, was red with all the options.. thought I would look up what they are "worth" near 50k for a 1.4l small hatchback :o
http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/audi/auction-639886525.htm
'premium' small hatch. It's no Polo ;)
I thought it was a Polo underneath?
Either way it is a very cool looking car, have not seen many around at all.
I guess people pay sill money for BMW's equiv, the Mini.
Think I would take a Polo GTI or Renault Sport Clio for sub 40 and spend the rest on track days and tyres >:D
The A1 is designed to compete with the Mini, and Alfa Romeo MiTo. The car is aimed mostly at young, affluent urban buyers.
The A1 is produced at Audi's Belgian factory in Forest, near Brussels. The A1 is based on the Volkswagen Group PQ25 platform, the same platform used in the SEAT Ibiza Mk4 and the VW Polo Mk5, and in its development Audi has collaborated with SEAT.
It is but perhaps Rambo was referring to the premium specs?
I suppose, it did have partial leather, Xenon lights and a infotainment screen, also had some nice looking wheels and tyres!
Spotted a Silver S5 Vert at Sylvia Park on the weekend too, was parked way over in the outer reaches of the car park where I hide from lazy people who open doors into other peoples cars :angel:
My cousin and her hubby opted for some of these in their company (IT service) fleet in SA. All those that qualified got the 1.2, though she got a the 136kW for herself.
they're not uncommon in Auckland and the early imports were 3 door, this is a nice example

Have never seen a Polo Cup before.
Was disappointed with the amount of cup holders in the Renault Cup models, I hope VW didn't skimp on their Cup model, its borderline false advertising. Still waiting for the Trophy that was meant to come with mine, thinking I will keep it in my cup holder ::)

Ferrari 308 GT4 on Sylvan Ave then in Milford, bit of an orphan with the cognoscenti but I always liked the Bertone styling, white on black three letter, three digit plates, but with two letters grouped then one letter three digits to make it look like an old plate

There was one on the market a few years ago with a Tairua address. With that number plate it could be the same one that Conti's sold about 12/14 years ago, had an, er, um, interesting history.... It lived on the shore for a while, I used to see it in Milford when I was down visiting the whanau
Well it sounded damn good. Don't think it had a standard exhaust by the sound of it when it took off :-)

I saw this last Friday as I was driving past. Made a quick u-turn and had a good look..
Engine looks like it leaks oil, 100,000 miles (yes, odo in miles), couple of bumps and scrapes, and a crack in the front bumper, some wood trim missing from the tray too.
The guy came out and i asked how much he wanted. He said it's not for sale as he plans on using it for as a promotional vehicle.
Shame as I really wanted it! My mate had one in Germany.. And the novelty of sliding the back wall of the cab back to reveal 2 extra seats never wears off.
Yeah I like them - quirky and different.

Don't judge a book by its cover. She could've easily gone for the A250 instead. ;)
Its most likely a "family" car. Some cultures do things differently than yours or mine.
100 points to the son who convinced the parents they needed a AMG A45 though, I could only manage to convince my mum to buy a Ford Focus :(

the family I bought my VR6 from had arrived from Hong Kong (I think) and bought a new Merc for dad and the VW for mum, which they held onto for 12 years, they were delightful, but when I was dealing with them the term "top of the line" was repeated several times so I'm pretty sure that there is an awareness of what they're buying
a few months after I bought the car I was stopped at the lights and saw the daughter on Anzac Ave and she asked how I was enjoying the car, nice!

Have money, will spend. Like most of the new performance cars on the road they are purchased for image rather than performance. Look at most of the modern GTI's, they are normally driven by middle aged woman.
Be grateful though cos these cars will filter down to the enthusiasts in a few years time.

Where's the 'like' button? The same could be said for the "R32" and "R" models. (although the GTI models are always going to be more affordable)

But they are mostly automatic so not really that awesome if you enjoy driving :-\
Its typical NZ market, always has been like that, 80% or more automatics.
Sells cars though, if the Golf GTI was manual only you would never see them.
I just used the GTI as an example.
It's because of these people (and rich kids) that we (or at least I) get to enjoy expensive almost new cars at half the price.
I ain't complaining! :P

Spotted this Swift this morning - just of interest as this is the first 3 door I have seen in NZ. Are they selling 3 doors here now?

Its a charcoal grey/green one.
Owned by the guy that use to own Gulliver's travel group.
I really like and respect the fact they he drives it too, as opposed to treating it as a private museum item.
There have been two that I know of, the Whittaker one and the Bhatnagar one

Three, the one in the pic above and the two you mentioned.
Bhatnager car was XP4 and I believe the Whittakers purchased their car new, which they still have.
I think someone like Larry Ellison owns XP4 now?

My father has one of those. There are 3 in NZ - a massive tank of a car but quite fun. They chew through tyres with 1050 Nm of torque.

Heard it before I saw it, a Lexus IS F in Ultrasonic Blue. Didn't know such a little beast existed. I thought it must have been a V8 transplant, until I checked Carjam. A 5.0l V8, mated to an 8-speed tranny.

They do sound and look very good. Only seen a handful in town before. Poor man's LFA they call it.

If it's the one I remember, it is a bit beaten up, has had an engine transplant too. The owner is a really nice guy, his son works in Germany, which he said is handy for parts.

White Bentley Continental with the plates 'YOLOW' .. :-\
Then crossed path with Ash in Newmarket and later on spotted Dale's 'U MUPIT' in Remuera.
Also 2 CLA45, a classic 911 964 (I think) and a station wagon XJ - I have never seen one before and boy it looked so good.
What a good day to be driving around today.
Station wagons just do not seem right for a Jaguar, but they do look good
XJ wagon ?
Factory never made one.
Probably an XF or X-Type.

one of the lads at work just got a Porsche Panamera. Same room as the guy who just got a 2013 RS4. Those boys sure know what to do with their OT $$!
was walking back from one of the other facilities and spotted a local (but not Weta) RS4 B7 Avant fang'ing it down the street. Really narrow roads with cars parked either side, not enough room for cars either way, busy area and this idiot was hoof'ing it. Diiiiick.

The RS4 has just been in for a warrant. Needs a few parts but nothing major and the RS2 is booked in on Friday the 13th for a health check and focus on cleaning the MAF and connection plus a boost leak test plus a road test to see what other treats need doing.

Cheaper........just. More manuals to choose from / bid on then here.
Most here seem to be tipo's, targa's or cabrio's none of which I wanted.

Wow, the gapper btwn C2's and C4's is getting bigger everyday.
Hate to see what folks are asking for 993 C2S...
It's more 964 values are going up as its the last small bodied 911 made which most are using
for backdate projects hence demand has increased, even in the UK they are expensive as well.
Here in NZ they are quite cheap compared to the US and UK, Japan is also going up.
Singer has also gone over to the 964 due to its more advanced susp among other things.

John, 964 + http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=662942602 = OMG!
What colour is your 964?
I want it to remain air cooled, colour is almost a dead ringer for Helios blue.
Porsche name for it escapes me........
Plan is to loose around 200kg of lard from it ;D

Must get down and have a go in one. I hear they only have the diesel so far, is that right?
False, I just took the manual petrol wagon out overnight.
From what i understand its the hatch that is unavailable

Keep it 964 !
Maybe with a few RS bits...

Dunno, want to finish the Ghia first and just do bits n pieces to the 964 but probably comply it first as is then start messing with it.
Have a bunch of stuff to sort out for compliance anyway so will just chip away at it.

Ouch - I saw that happen at Countdown yesterday, I was about 30m from it and saw it get blown across and hit a Toyota on the front grille. It made quite a crack. There was someone in the car too.
White Nissan R35 GTR race prepped near Whitford, heading out into the country. Bloody fast car. Like nearly faster in a straight line than my 2011 CBR1000rr with Power Commander 5 and full exhaust system fast...which I happened to be riding at the time. When he opened the taps, I would have only been able to catch him at a crawling pace. Managed to have a chat to the bloke when we both stopped at an intersection, he was test driving it having just built it for a customer as a race car. 8XX HP at the wheels. I would love to a) have a drive of that thing on a track and b) have a proper race against him on a closed road or race track.
Also...a Mclaren 50 12C in matte black.. >:D Awesome looking car.

Haha...yeah that crash of Proctors was pretty massive. This is totally unconfirmed, but I think that this GTR might be his replacement/rebuild. I'm going to pop into the tuning shop where it is being built this week...want to have a closer look...I am intrigued.
Spotted this beast in Wellington the other day.

Some sort of current A4 type with (almost) this plate drove past my gate this morning as I was going out. It had an A at the front of RKITCT. Not sure which variant of the current A4 as it was the plate that caught my attention.
Spotted a certain, normally southern located (?) B5 RS4 on Rotas in the mean streets of Freemans Bay today.
