Fabia RS ones are similar but a bit chunkier - came in 16" only.

The Testarossa (which they're babysitting for a neighbour) takes up a little more room than the MX5 that normally sleeps there does.

I'll PM you the plate.  Carjam shows it was first registered in NZ in 1988 so I'd say you're spot on about it being an import.  Have seen it a number of times but never noticed if its LHD - but if you're interested Pristle will probably know...

I had a good time driving over the Rimutaka Hill road and back :)
Saw a 70s Aston going up the hill, and a Honda embedded in the Armco. It'd just happened. didn't look too serious and there were lots of people helping so we didn't stop.
He chose to go off on one of the few spots where there was a bank to stop him plunging to his doom!

Cops shot past us in an unmarked red new shape Commodore.

On the Gold Coast a few years ago, was sitting at an outdoor cafe having dinner. A yellow diablo went round the block a couple of times (lots of slipping of the clutch so he could rev the engine) then parked on a yellow line right by where I was sitting eating. The guy (a bit over weight and going bald ....late 30's) got out of the drivers side. The blonde female (mid 20's stunner) got out of the passenger side. They then stood beside the car cuddling/groping for a few minutes, then got back in the car and drove off. I just about pissed myself laughing at how pathetic it all was. The car (and girl) were probably hired :-).

156 GTA was a big piece of crap!
After one year gave all sorts of electrical faults window regulator failure.
Bits of plastic breaking off and just was a general lemon.
He did 20,000k's and sold it for a third of what it cost.
nearly as bad as a fiat!

Unsurprising really, given Fiat owns Alfa...  ::)
156GTA was (still is?) the most powerful FWD production car made
If you want reliability buy a Corolla...
There really is/was something slightly mad about all that power + FWD ::)
Then Autodelta jump in with a bore and stroke out to 3.7L, and a blower if you're game... ;D
A standard GTA was great fun, a handful in the wet, mind... the 3.7 in the wet must be like trying to shove spaghetti up a wild animals ar$e - at speed :police:

He might mean the car called the 'Alfa Romeo GT', a very very nice looking machine 8)

GTA is to the 147 and 156 sort of what GTI is like to the Golf and Polo.

Yup was an Alfa Romeo GT, unmistakable back lights, looks great in red, not so much any other colour ive seen it in on google (especially from the back  :-X).

156 GTA was a big piece of s**t!
After one year gave all sorts of electrical faults window regulator failure.
Bits of plastic breaking off and just was a general lemon.
He did 20,000k's and sold it for a third of what it cost.
nearly as bad as a fiat!

Maybe its one of those new fangled, invisible  ground force kit, that sort of thing might be worth 25k i reckon. Thats why you can't see it, sort of a wolf in invisible rather than sheeps clothing.

That car has been through a lot, i drove it when he bought it from fast fours and turbos. Was pretty much std and was quite a nice car to drive. However its had a lot more than is shown there he managed to crack the inlet manifold when he didn't see a speed bump and ripped the bottom half of the bumper off. Not sure if that's why the IC sticks out so much. Ive also see a video of him doing 250kmh in it. He regularly went to the illegal drags as well. Im glad hes lost his license hes going to kill not only himself but someone else as well i really just hope my mates arnt in the car with him when he does go off.

Don't really think it's any laughing matter myself - but I'm still a bit jaded though after getting stuck in that traffic for many hours. Still - better than getting shot and killed by some P fuelled bag snatcher with a death wish.

Upside I spotted various interesting cars. The "UNCOND" S2 on the NW motorway - haven;t seen it in ages and still looks great. The Croydon Supra broken down (overheated?) on the NW, several RS4s on the NW including one black on black absolutely tapping it heading west after being unleashed from the melee at Pt Chev. Also VeeDub in the Corrado in town (car looks nice bruv!).

discretion is mainly metered out on their own
If discretion was to be exercised this is a very good example where it could apply. No rational person would be issuing tickets for an 'offence'  which was no more serious than displaying a plate, the number already issued by the appropriate authority, but manufactured and supplied by another company.

unless, as has been discussed, there is a "directive" or similar "progrom" going on  and orders have come down from on high...(some policy dept no doubt...or in this case some croney of the owners of PPL)...
FFS just get some perspective.... some rozzer notices one of the guys he works with, (not another officer) and to avoid making a big deal but still not having to explain to his boss why he hadnt done anything...takes it upon himself to give a quiet warning...(they have done just that to others on here with europlates on the side of the road)......its hardly corruption!!!

dont get me wrong i hold the NZ police in almost total contempt.....but also know they are prob one of the least corrupt law enforcement agencies on the planet...count ourselves phuquing lucky!!!

Interestingly, there's a large number of RS4 pulling into that same shopping centre of late.

Tim's mate, AV, has a Series 4 Savanna that has being getting some extensive work lately. It's been dyno'd at 320kW at the wheels!! Allegedly all cert'd and road legal. They were going to take it to '4s & Rotaries' this past weekend, but common sense prevailed......it hasn't been caged yet.

Thats good power but fairly easily attainable from a turbo rotary.  Many years ago a friend of mine had a S3T with similar kW, it ran mid 12s in street trim.  It was a bit of an animal...  :police: :-X

....hence the common sense about a cage. Without it, should the 'animal' come loose it could do some damage.

Playing with the letters reveal the following:

VW GT1, it's a white '88 16V. which also wore VW16V at one point (which is now on a silver '96). Probably the one you're thinking of.

GT1 VW belongs to a Black '99 Golf.

VWGTI belonged to a red '89 Mk2 16V. But according to Carjam has been defunct since '93. Maybe someone is wearing it without registering it.

I caught it rising and pulled over before damage could be done, then went and had a beer at the pub waiting for it to cool and traffic to subside  :laugh:. The culprit seems to be the radiator fans not spinning. Checked the fuse etc and it seems fine, will get it checked out tomorrow.

My once every few months mega spotted post  :D i.e. when i can be bothered downloading the memory card off my phone and uploading pics. OK I should be working but it's been a long day - I blame the recession  :D As always apologies for the crap cell phone pics.

Spotted this "rare" split screen bug a while back - possibly the one SteveC mentioned above? Hmmm,  :-\

I bought a proper(ish) VL Turbo off Rex (RB30, SOHC 12v 3.0L, Garrett T3, etc) before he headed to the Europe. Had it for ages before selling it due to rust issues. One of my favourite cars I've ever owned - she had a very giving nature. Don't ask me to explain that but somehow far more endearing than either the Skylines I have also owned which were technically much better cars. One car I do miss  :'(

Old as in late 80's? VL Dunnydores used an RB30, with a turbo model available... not sure whether the turbo was available in wagon form though ???

yeah would have been 80s model wagon. never knew they were powered by RBs. interesting fact that is indeed. cheers

sorry my mistake they were in the cxf concept....they even had a model of the tie fighter at the design meetings they were filming... the doco was about the development of the xf so i guess they left out the fact that they were too difficult to put into the prod version...  :'(

I know there was a reading of 34 in the shade in Ranui on a digital thermometer yesterday.

The official temps are derived from certain spots around the various main centres. Airports are a common location.

Neat online checks which feature 'feels like' temperatures can be found at:

Sanctuary Weather (http://www.sanctuaryweather.co.nz/);AccuWeather (http://www.accuweather.com/world-index-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&locCode=OCN%7CNZ%7CNZ000%7CAUCKLAND%7C&u=1);

Then there's this site (http://weather.falkor.gen.nz/weather/weather.pl). It's out Massey way.

I think you're right on the 1. She's from around these parts so see it a bit. Her hubby was a party pill pusher and had a black beemer with plate "BZP", which I see from CarJam is now sporting plates "GNGSTR".

Title: Re: The Official SPOTTED thread...
Post by: Pristle on February 16, 2009, 01:16:23 AM
Now that's exceptionally rare. There can't be many still around.

I remember when I bought that Wheels mag, I was 12!! Whenever I see a P76, that very picture of the Force7 come to mind every time.

I thought back then when reading 'Force7 All the Facts', "what's wrong with this picture, they're making the P76 instead of this??" But then of course a 12yo has no concept of the importance of 4-doors for the family, space for a 44gal drum for trips to the outback or (as mentioned) the prodigious ability to load up 28 crates of beer and still close the boot!

I was driving my Polo GTI up to Whangarei and back from Auckland yesterday.

Had a silver Audi (I think new model) A6 V8 4.2litre Quattro driving up and he wanted to be in front of everyone all the time. We used the new tunnel to bypass orewa... he was a bit of a cock really...

He was quite annoyed that he couldn't chase my Polo GTI and I just let him pass after Constellation drive. :-)

I didn't think my GTI had a chance against a 246kw beast... was actually easy to overtake him at any speed.  :laugh:

Hopefully the new toll road doesn't have any speed cameras....

Beemer drivers in my opinion, they don't have to adhere to the road rules of our fine nation - I don't even see why they put indicators on them.
Then Misti Evo drivers, every things a race to them, usually easy prey such as automatic honda's etc

You are certainly right with the lack of BMW  indicators.............maybe it is a weak point in the design and they fail frequently.
Talk of evos...........what about wrx's?

Went into SK Bakery in Otaki (the owner has models of porches in a smooth cabinet down the entire shop) for work, and ended up chatting to the owner Jame's about his car's, eventually leading up to a viewing of his Saker

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Specialist-cars/Competition-cars/auction-169667108.htm
^ this one to be exact, this was going to be a project to tie him over while he got the funds to buy his new porsche, ended up buying the bakery instead sinking money into that, and extending the build time on this beast by a year and a half.

His plan is to sell it and buy the porsche. unless he completes it before it sells, in which case he'll enjoy the fruits.

P.S like you i started out buy saying WTF is up with the colour, his answer
http://www.khulsey.com/stockphotography/porsche_917k_le-mans.jpeg

and he's thinking of throwing all the livery on

Out & about today I saw a really nice  :P A4 1.8T on Pakuranga highway, pplate DECLRD
Slammed on big wheels with tractor sounding exhaust, cut away front bumper and big FMIC
The driver had his seat reclined to the point where you could only j-u-s-t see his headrest, and yet he was slumped over the steering wheel with both elbows more or less touching the dash...  ::)
Hopefully this king of cool isn't a VASKer...

Spotted in Christchurch, late 1970's Aston Martin Lagonda - yep the wedgey shaped 4 door saloon with the V8 engine. Rear sills and valance looked like rust was setting in but aren't they an all aluminium body?
Definitely showing its age in the current era and has not lasted the test of time like the similarly aged (give or take 5 yrs) Ferrari 400i V12 for sale at Fazzazz which still looks so sexy.

Was in at the Welly VW dealer this morning, who also happen to be Nissan dealers. They have an imported Nissan GTR sitting in the showroom. Had a bit of a nosey. Just my opinion, but the interior looks very cheap to me.

They also have an Aston Martin V8 Vantage convertible sitting there too. Not THAT has a very nice interior. Mind you, the GTR would be a lot quicker and a hell of a lot cheaper.

this was CHEN Y

also 3dr red Polo GTI yesterday

the shift to the new office in Huron St means quite a bit more autoporn drives past

went to a flat crawl last night, was epic, got hammered...

One of the flats we went to, the guy who's place it was was a Fiat club member, there was a 124, a Lancier Delta Turbo, 13.. something(not much of a fiat man) and his mates 996 Turbo. Cool colection of cars...

oh, and just pulled an M3 out of a ditch, it was driven by 2 teenage girls and appears as if they had a wee bit of under steer whilst executing some "maneauvers" in a deserted carpark by the lake and managed to belly themselves on the edge of the ditch half into the scrub...

High powered car in the hands of teenage girls... Guess it happens to young guys all the time, but i bet they don't get a whole lot of people trying to help them out, if it was some young guys, i imagine someone would have called the cops and blamed the "boyracer" problem and claimed a scalp!!  >:D

In Taupo right?  Green 124CC, grey Delta and blue 131R project car?

That's one of the guys off turbo124.com, can't remember his name but I've met him a couple of times.  And as proof that the Fiat world is small and incestuous, the guy who sold him the 131R now owns the bronze X1/9 on the previous page  ::)

Had that ugly RS type front bumper with the big vents on the side, big rims and small wing on the back. Is the RS here already?

Ooooo! Oooooo!
Just got back this morning from Waihi Beach.
Last Friday I saw a red 914 coming out of the Karangahake Gorge about 1pm.
Looked like a 2L. as it had flared wheel arches.
It was coming from Waihi town way.
Looked sweet....

I was in a Pirius Taxi the other week

I asked the driver  "How's the car on the gas, what sort of mileage do you really get to a tank on one of these ?"
Dont know was the reply

"Huh you don't know, if you filled it, what would you get ?"

Nope never checked..

Thought that was very very odd

Then noticed the huge on screen display with all sorts of rocket science on show, said current: 14L/100km  :o

Got passed by one on the Desert Rd a while ago, they sound amazing!! he must of been doing 140+ as i was doing 110 and went passed me like i was going slow... Definately not designed to ever leave the the tarseal though... massive rims, low profile tyres. Most owners would probably think twice about slapping chains on them and going up the mountain.

Red Holden sport wagon towing a yellow Ferrari 512 on a trailer (on the southern m/way near Greenlane approx 3pm). The 512 had all the front panels missing - didn't get a good look so not sure if it was due to accident damage or just being rebuilt but I suspect the former. Car might have been picked up from Turners DVA possibly?

I saw a much rarer Singer Chamois yesterday on East Coast Road. It was a sort of metallic brown colour. Lovely condition. Sounded like a sewing machine.

The Imp engine was derived from a soc 750cc Coventry Cimax fire pump motor altho modified for mass production from the original Climax form.
The reason this engine was used is because, as originally conceived, the Imp was to be powered by a 2 cylinder engine, but late in the development they realised that it was too unsophistocated and they required a suitable light weight replacement for this at short notice...hence the use of the Coventry Climax design.

So...Spotted: Lovely Black RS4 sedan (B7?)
Lovely blonde lady applying makeup again...driving with her knee and completely engrossed in her small mirror that she was holding with one hand whilst applying her eyes with the other. Gap between her and car in front - 120m or so. Great in rush-hour traffic.

When the new shape A6 was launched in the UK in 1998, for at least the first couple of years or so you could have it with the 1.8T engine - maybe it was just not an NZ option?. The independant VW/AUDI garage who looked after my cars back in the UK still use an A6 1.8T saloon as one of their courtesy cars.

Really? An M1 in NZ? I never knew there was one?

There used to be one that lived on Gowing Drive, Meadowbank. NZ new in that burnt orange colour. circa 1978-79



A former boss in SA had one in silver.

Cool car, bad photo!



one of my most memorable drives was Palmy to Upper Hutt down the road from Massey in an early '60s Citroen ID Safari (wagon)

in light drizzle it had neutral handling and just flew down the road

when we arrived in Upper Hutt to drop my passenger off, she told her husband that we had just floated down from Palmy

had a couple of extended loans of IDs from a mate while my Light 15 was being stripped and painted, from 62 to 64 they inverted the shift pattern so first was where second had been etc, incredibly confusing

the amazing thing was that when Autocar magazine wanted a benchmark to compare the NSU RO80 to, they chose the DS, more than 25 years old at that point!

Anyone see the 2 page  spread Citroen add in the latest English Autocar?
Features a DS19 convertible recently sold at auction for more than 293,000 pounds (not a typo)
Reads something like this.....

No ABS
No Aircon
No MP3 player
No Airbags
No Warranty

Only in NZ could a car producing 150 or 180 bhp (depending on the age of the A6 in question) be said to have a small engine  :laugh

In europe, where the cost of petrol is way more expensive than here, we would have consider that an economical choice! ;D

are they standard..... sounds like an informed view.... i work with senior police and scu and pcd there cars are not standard

Standard cop cars have FE2 suspension and upgraded brake pads.
Highway Patrol have standard SV6's but also with upgraded pads.

What is SCU? Special Crash Unit? ANd PCD?

I've spotted two very nice Silver Mk3's in the last day...one was a GLI lowered on 17's and with twin tip exhaust, angel-eyes and clear=lens rear lights (not ricey).

The other was a GTi in Queen street - again, lowered, twin tip, large(ish) wheels and tints.

Both very nice examples indeed.

I left a gap to let a mk5 black GTI across the flow of traffic, I was sat in the inside lane in my mk2 Golf and then a guy in a mk4 3 door metalic blue R32 pulled up along side me to stop the outside lane traffic.

2.2 has a very awkward clutch.
i personally cant get used to it.
for a car that weighs over 1500kg's the 2.2 is quite under powered really.
the Brera should always have been given a Maserati 4.2 instead of the GM blocks

mate of mine in Wellington had one of these amongst the other exotica he owned from time to time, including several RO 80s, Bristols, a Jensen Interceptor (perversely, he preferred the Renault 9 he had at the same time), a Citroen SM, many Mercs, Alfas, Citroens and Renaults

by the time we left Welly he (or various family members) had bought and sold around 100 cars and had lost money on only a couple

Nice piece of classic metal there, the Montreal :)
Off the top of my head I can think of 3 that I've seen in the flesh, a green one that lost a half-shaft at Manfield last year, one in a Man-Cave in Auckland (along with a seriously hardcore Alfetta GT circuit weapon) and a yellow one that was having resto-surgery at the panel shop next to my former workshop at the Mount.

I think its changed a fair bit since the first prototype.

they had a bad run of luck back then,shop broken into a lot of one off things stolen put them back a bit and i think it miss the window for that sort of supercar.

all the running gear and motor from bmw it was planned for euro.
i was only on the fringe of the project and was all about production.
it that time there was no open wheel supercar until 2007

i think if had got to the euro car-shows in late 2005-06 it would have been a runner i think

followed a Prelude into Takapuna this morning that had a 100mm at least crab on it, tracking happily down the road with the rear wheels offset to the left, must have had a serious shunt at some time



Some of those Preludes shipped with 4 wheel steering. I don't know how the system works, perhaps it had packed a sad, I've seen an old Mazda 626 do the same.

Might be a great car but I thought I was following a standard A4 down the road, it wasnt until I pulled up along side and spotted the stickers on the brake calipers and the T badge on the door.
I think the likes of a B6 S4 looks way cooler.

probably in a more "look at me I'm an S4" sort of way but i myself would love a B8 or a B5 for that matter because they just look like an A4 because of this imagine how many people you could upset in classic traffic light burn off.

I think a 326 kph, twin turbo W12, with continuous 4wd and 6 speed auto is not dissimilar to a 408 kph quad turbo W16 with continuous 4wd and 7 speed DSG, both with VAG dna, except that one is vaguely useful and the other "the most pointless exercise on the planet" (quote Gordon Murray)  >:D

The Drinkrows used to race the Toyota for a number of years - they raced it in the NM500 series back in 80's/90's - but I don't think any of them get used much nowadays :(

Good reason to buy the MkVI then. I much prefer an unobtrusive looking car, but that is just my opinion. Hence I like the look of the new Audi S4 and the GTI.

One of the things I really liked about my old MkIV 4Motion, was that it looked like a standard 1.6 or 2.0 litre golf, just with bigger wheels. Police are less likely to take any notice, don't have hassles with boy racers wanting to take you on, less likely to get vandalised by people jealous of your fancy car.

A really nice blue Mk4 GTI with a nice subtle kit and lowered on R32 wheels, looked very much like a 337 edition, but just a jap import I'm pretty sure

Is this the car:

Is there an RS5 here yet?? Damn sure I saw one this morning up the road from CCS with trade plates on. Same as an S5 but seemed different. Lower than other S5's I've seen, in Black on those dark smoked 20" common to many current RS6 Avants. The grille badge seemed longer than just "S5".

I was hurrying to get my wife to work and it was headed the other way, so didn't get a good look.

I'd love to import one of these from oz. There are a few for sale over there. Found a genuine 914/6 which had been restored, rhd conversion... but they wanted $40 000 AUS, probably OK price but a normal 914 can be got for $20,000-$25,000, some of these with 6 cyclinder conversions and RHD. Mmmmm



Saw a beautiful near new red RS4 at work today. Hawt!

I've seen one being driven by a guy in his fifties (estimated) with a big hairy caterpillar on his upper lip.

I swear the guy WAS Magnum PI!!!

There is a mechanic in NP with one from that era and i think he has a big mo lol

Wish i had a ferrari like that! I can grow the mo (when she lets me) but the ferrari is a little harder to obtain!

The 1.8TQ is just a spec.  Was available from 1997 to 2001 in the B5 body A4 and also in the A3/S3/Golf GTI and from 2001 till I think 2006 in the B6 body.  Then the 1.8T (which was a 20V motor at the time) was phased out for the 2.0T in the B7 and the newer S3 and GTI, although there were NA versions of the 1.8 still around, and now the 1.8TQ is back again in the B8 A4s albeit in 16V form.  I think... :P

Going round the sharpest corner on the Napier-Taupo Rd following this 911T, trust me, it wasnt a standard T, it really went and the driver wasnt scared to give it some around the corners in the wet. Oh and it was lowered on standard rims, looked very cool:

Manual 996TT, I think it has the X50 upgrade as well:

My old 911T was standard and allways supprised me with how quick it was, even by todays standards. As long as you didn't touch the brakes on corners in the wet they handled pretty well also.

Wikipedia is pretty good for everything model type wise, some specs can be more specific to certain markets though.

Spotted a mint 205 gti, plate was 2051.9 or GTI1.9. Red with gunmetal wheels and race seats. Very very clean.

Then spotted him again at woodhill :D

As Phil said a lot of love gone into that car.. Used to haul around my neighbourhood, sounded & looked awesome.. Phil will know the 'Monte Carlo' roads I mean  ;)

He was the bike mechanic @ Bicyclette before they closed.. great guy

Is he working somewhere else now Phil, I need some bike work done, & liked his work, & the chats about bikes & cars

new rS6 sedan, looks really good in the flesh. understated but purposeful.
then 2 minutes later the avant version driven by a parnell woman burbled past cruising for a carpark.

and a gunmetal R8 with R8SGR8 plate hooning on an onramp, looked like a test drive, so things can't be all that bad with the economy.

The idiots are out again.....it must be getting warmer.

This afternoon on SH1 northbound between Pokeno and Drury, a silver 2004 S4 (lights on, but only 1 headlamp working!) who firstly didn't see (cue much slamming on of brakes) and then was too scared to pass the marked patrol car - which was sat in the nearside lane at @ 90kmh. So he proceeded to sit in the offside lane in the police cars blindspot for around 3k - until the patrol car comes up behind slow moving lorry and tries to pull out......

Further along the patrol car leaves the motorway so S4 (still in offside lane although both lanes ahead are now empty) proceeds to try to outrun the Bentley GT which has just come up at great speed behind him - fails miserably & is forced to pull over at which point the Bentley takes off like a scolded cat and disappears into the horizon with S4 trying to chase him. Bentley was easily doing 180kmh at this point.

Just to show that it's not only the young ones in modern fast cars that are the idiots, on return journey later this evening (so SH1 southbound between Papakura services and Bombay) old geezer in a 1950's Hillman convertible travelling (presumably flat out) at 100kmh, getting up really really close behind the big trucks (like, to within 3 or 4 metres) before swerving out to pass then swerving back in again. Did this about 4 times in all - before I left motorway and lost sight of him. Hate to imagine the mess if just one of those trucks (with power brakes all round and full abs etc etc etc) that he was so close behind had to slow down suddenly - exactly what safety features did 1950's Hillmans have?.

I found the biggest idiots/ willing racers on the Wellington motorway to be bald, middle aged and stupid, usually driving boss falcons/ hsv holdens, and often putting their young kids/ familys at risk by trying to prove some point to all the young wipper snappers they share the road with, the "boyracer" act is a bit of a stinker (not to mention agest and picking on a steriotype) which doesn't really solve the big problem of people getting into cars which they don't know how to drive.

Like alot of knee-jerk paperwork that comes from those who must be obeyed (read; those who we apparently elect to speak for us, but tell us that even if we all vote against the smacking bill they'll ignore us because they know better, and while theyre at it they'll take 900 odd dollars per week to pay off there mortgage while the rest of us contemplate moving into sturdy cardboard boxes) its makes little sense.

Also i spotted what looked to be a new golf R32, in blue, getting a coffee on oxford street, very tasty.

A rather rare Fiat Dino Spyder 2.4 on Broadway this morning. It was leading a procession of older Ferrari's.

that belongs to mark M, races yellow 125 in targa. The Ferrari owners club had a mid winter dinner do on the weekend. Old man was there in his yellow 308 GTB, along with many other ferraris. have some photos if people interested.

Dodge Nitro and a BMZ X6 on the motorway just now. It was like driving next to two giant Hot Wheels cars.
I think the X6 looks like a cartoon car - all the dimensions are too big.

edit: according to old man, no dark bronze fiat dino spyders in NZ. only 2.4 in AKL is marks and its black

Sasngyongs aren't ALL bad. There was a nice looking Rexton on the road the other day and I didn;t think it was any less stylish that the other many 4WD's of its type on the road.

you've been looking through RAV coloured windscreens Jason, I do admit that the Rexton 11 is the least offensive of the lot

but that's not saying much  :P

I had this sort of odd theroy a few years back

That the very strange looking Koren Cars like Ssangyong & Daewoo.. would be the classics of the future in 30 years
Not that many around really, really weird styling, quirky.. then found out most are designed by Italian design houses.. so thought hmm 60's Italian cars, 90's/00's Koren cars..

early Ssangyongs were styled by Ken Greenley who was professor of design at one of the best styling schools and did a lot of work for Aston

It's funny because the Ssangyong Musso was probably their least attractive vehicle, but they sold loads of them as they relied on the marketing genius that was "Powered by Mercedes"...

They ran Merc running gear from earlier model Merc 4WD's and apparently were just as unreliable.

Went for a ride in a white Scirocco 2.0 TSI yesterday. Was nice enough, seemed to have a bit of grunt (although the Mrs was driving so wasn't much of a reflection of what it could really do), bit more road noise that I expected though. Nice cabin, nice seats, good dash layout. Didn't try sitting in the back, though, to see what that was like, looked a bit "comfy".

Also saw a silver R8 outside Tristram European this afternoon, can never see too many of these!

All I can think about in the design studio, they spent ages getting the design of the car right, then some retard comes along and goes, great, now we need a rear spoiler for an option. If I was the designer Id walk off the job  ;D

I flatted with a girl who won a red Beetle cabrio in a Tip-Top comp... it was cool but rusty as so after a few years driving it she sold it a radio station in Whakatane.  They did it up, painted it yellow and gave it away in another competition!

Spotted Brendon's black Mk2 1.8t at the coffee kiosk on Tamaki Drive this morning

Keep it black ...but better idea ...get them reconditioned at a plastic repair place to get it nice and black or gloss them up....

Spotted about 5.20 this evening southbound from Petone. Very irate blonde woman in a late model black beemer (at least I think it was a beemer) ..... one of the bigger ones. I was in the left lane wanting to get into the right lane to get past a slow car. Japper ute goes past me in the right lane, then a decent gap back to the beemer, so I put my right indicator on and move into the right lane. Look in the rear view mirror to find the beemer accelerating, trying to block me. She comes up so close behind that I couldn't even see the beemers grille, then she gets on the horn.

Got a real close look at a green rover of some sorts on summit road yesterday...

i was on the bike passing a cyclist round a blind corner (well within my lane still - i was in the outside lane) and halfway round the blind corner i met this rover also passing a cyclist, except the rover was halfway in my lane!
definately ended up closer than it should have been, my mate following me said it was a real "sh*t yourself" moment for him too.

people are shocking with bikes, personaly i never give them any extra space i just dont think i should have to move for them and i probably get a bit close at times, i hate them being on the road. not very P.C i know, but i dont care, there usualy isnt enough space for them and they too damn slow.

as for motor bikes my mate has told me some of his "oh s@%t" moments and im now more aware of them and always looking for them because it seems most drivers forget there out there and alot of them get hit.

yeah, i have alot of mates who believe that every driver should have to ride a motorbike for a couple of weeks before they get their full drivers license, just so they get a taste of how bad other drivers can be.

if you are careful though and keep you eye out you can usually tell if someone is going to pull out infront of you before they even get to the intersection. just have to be very aware all the time

Does this work in reverse... so when I'm sitting stationery in traffic, cyclists will give me 1.5m berth?  And won't lean on my boot, leaving sweaty handprints on my paintwork to save themselves unclipping their feet?

please DON'T tell him to ride on the footpaths, because the risk of getting hit by a car is 9-10% greater there (figure pretty consistent across several international studies)

not only by people who don't know that anyone coming down a driveway must give way to anyone on the footpath, but also from turning traffic at intersections

Spotted a hotness personified eye-tie this morning on the harbour bridge.

Maserati - looked like a supercar, sounded like a supercar, didn't have any numbers or anything on it to identify model, but looked brand new and had a brand new plate  - also discreet Pininfarina badging on front quarter by the wheel arch.

If I find a pic, I'll post it up.

EDIT: Just found out from a search on the net that it was a black Granturismo.

Edit again:

This was it:

If it sounded like a supercar i bet it was the GTS, did it have quad tailpipes or just two oval pipes?

There is a white one of those living somewhere near where I do. I hear it a mile off, it sounds amazing. Even when at low speeds, let alone giving it a little go up the hill.

Spotted a new S3 too, blue I think

please DON'T tell him to ride on the footpaths, because the risk of getting hit by a car is 9-10% greater there (figure pretty consistent across several international studies)

not only by people who don't know that anyone coming down a driveway must give way to anyone on the footpath, but also from turning traffic at intersections
nope not that silly, ill take him to parks and then on to tracks when he older, where bikes belong. oh and thats if he wants to, he might be like me and get a car at 15 hehe in witch case we'll be heading to the race track to learn about car control and racing lines and how to take a corner. safty first! id prefer the second option because i think its safer than a bike, he only 14 months though so who knows, might all be out of fuel and riding bikes by then  :laugh:

Apparently the current A4 saloon platform (being longer than the previous A4 platform) was not suitable for the new generation Cabrio as it was too difficult/expensive to get sufficient structural rigidity into the bodyshell when the roof was chopped off, hence Audi chose to build the new Cabrio on the shorter A5 platform.

Personally, I think it's odd that Audi chose to give the coupe a whole new model number (ie A5) rather than just call it the Audi Coupe.

This actually sounded quite flat and drone-y - he gave it a good hard squirt in 1st from the roundabout in Cambridge and it only really got that high-stepping flat crank sound in (at a guess) the last couple of thousand RPM. Even when he flicked it back a couple of gears on the passing lanes there was no real "soul" to it's voice.

I'd take a Phaeton W12 LWB over any of the current Audi range any day of the week - love the fact that they're so subtle and unassuming to look at and that they just blend into the background like a big Passat - until you hit the gas and get the WTFWT effect!  Unlike the new white S6 I saw hunting a  parking space in downtown Wellington on Tuesday evening, which sounded decidedly odd and looked like an Essex girl after one too many Bacardi Breezers! Who was it said money doesn't buy taste?.

In the same street (Featherston, nr the Holiday Inn) the following morning was parked an absolutely immaculate 1962 Bentley S3 (according to the registration in the window) in 2 tone blue over grey - so stunning it stopped me dead in my tracks, yet it was being ignored by everyone around - are you all so blase down there in the capital?.

403 for me!


black S5 on the Northern this evening, middle lane coming up behind a slowy, could have gone to the right into an empty lane, but this BMW graduate decides to go left and cut me off, gave him a tickle of high beam, so the reknaw goes left again, slows, falls in behind and does the same, no manners

if it's anyone on here, no apologies, this was at the end of a hard trip from Welly, via Wanganui and the Paraparas, then SH4 four up wasn't much remarkable, a black Fazza 430, plenty of Skodas, including a new superb, my nephew's flatmate's nice dark grey Mk2 GTI

My neighbour must work at CCS or something.  So far in the last year, I've seen a red passat R36, blue Mk5 R32, grey scirocco (outside now), B8 S4 in silver, B6 S4 visits every so often and there used to be a E46? M3 that would back up their steep driveway at warp speed, nearly taking me and my family cars out on nmerous occasions (driven by a blonde.  not particularly appealing). 

I think that's about it... 

Oh and a black S6 V10 in Remuera, and lately I've seen a couple of V10 RS6es.  Slick.

saw that new black RS6 again driving around the eastern suburbs of Wellington.

It looks pretty mean with its rows of lights under the head lamps, but I don't really like the rear of it.

Still, if I had a quarter of a million to spend on a car and I needed a large station wagon I'm sure there wouldn't be much else that could compete!

yeah, that one resides on Taumata Rd in Sandringham, Its defo a family daily as I see the father drop of his kids to school in it on my way to work.

Onto the other subject, I think Porsche should have stuck to the 911 range rather than off roaders, budget version 911's i.e the boxter and now 4door coupes!  ::) crap eh! Its like being greedy in the automotive industry or aiming to cater for the ever growing and fussy consumer demands.

I tend to agree; however the Boxster arguably saved Porsche initially from being acquired by another car company and then became the biggest volume seller ever for them, until the Cayenne which then promptly beat those figures.

Saying that I would only chase owning a 911   ;)

It was waiting in traffic as I went up the inside, just about ploughed into the back of a truck having a good perv. Cant mistake those huge arches and that gaping intake behind the front wheels. Looked up a a price on google: upwards of $200,000.US! Recession? What Recession?

De Tomaso Mangusta, that rumble stems from either a 289 or 302 Ford V8.

I still remember nearly coming off my Raleigh Chopper (purple) on Remuera Rd, back about '75 when one came rumbling past. The ground shook.

Today in Coombes-Johnson Te Rapa, a 1967 BMW 1600 sedan... so immaculate you could eat off it :o

Then on the return trip somehow got caught in the middle of an all American convoy... Yellow Jailbar behind me, GMC pickup in front, a silver Chrysler New Yorker (Same as the "crapmobile" in Trailer Park Boys) in front of that and a Buick Riviera in the lead :)

are you sure it was a Mangusta? (the car that started me off on petrolheadism) I've seen Panteras around, but Mangustas are much scarcer, where did you see it Brian?

Pantera

You have me wondering now............probably the Pantera.........I only had a glimpse as I just happened to be looking out the window and the only view of the road is the actual driveway width so is pretty restricted

Location was merrilands , New Plymouth

This De Tomaso thing is dragging some memories.....

You're right Steve, I think it was the Pantera I saw back then too. I remember seeing a bunch getting off loaded in Durban, before we initially immigrated here. My grandfather's flat overlooked the docks.

Typically in bright colours, orange and green, along with a contrasting black bonnet. Some even featured decals on the lower sill of the doors. They were powered by the lazy sounding but otherwise lethal Cleveland 351 V8.

Silver BMW 3 Series DJK847 just about causing a second serious accident in the Thorndon area this weekend.  Cutting across three lanes of traffic and into the path of a hapless Peugeot driver at the Thorndon exit from the motorway.

Given it was a silver Audi that caused yesterdays one, what is it about Silver German cars that turn people into such arrogant and crappy drivers?  (Not singling out anyone here in a Silver VAG, I trust us enthusiasts to drive properly  :police:).

I good friend of mine has one of these.  he restored it from a shell (which has taken him about 5+ years) and uses it as a daily driver.

Still a few niggles but he absolutely loves it!  The 5 years, and getting little help (but talking to loads of people and reading lots) has given him plenty of knowledge on engines and these cars.  his is kinda of a pistachio green color and it looks awesome!

I also see a light blue \ green fast back parked out on the south coast as we drive round every day.   my mate has talked to this guy and he knows he shouldn't keep it out next to the sea but the options are limited when you don't have a garage or off street parking in windy Wellington

Might be old news but spotted an unmarked speed camera Mistubishi Colt Plus (metallic blue) heading north just after Onewa Rd off ramp. Interesting choice of vehicle. Hard to pick except for the orange flash thing mounted on the towball.

Saw a new facelift HSV 317. I used to like the VE HSV but I think they've just gone a little too far now and the styling is a gawd awful mess. The front has all those black coloured inserts, spot lights, LED DRLs, Evo'esque bonnet vents - looks like someone at HSV got inspiration from some tacky ricer catalogue.

yeah what's with those gyms when you can run/bike to work and lift stacks of paper instead of ridiculous pieces of pancake shaped metal.  go figure.  Make keyboards really really stiff to give the fingers a workout and abolish seats so you have to squat to work at the computer.  or better still, use really tall tables and power all the computers off generators that the operator has to pedal themselves.

White wasn't a great colour either - showed up things like uneven gaps around doors and bootlid etc.

According to 124dude's Dad there is one there, $2k but in need of resto.  Has a rolltop roof
They're rare but not exceedingly so, they made 2,600,000 of them but there's probably only a fraction of those left

followed a nice pale metallic blue 928 onto the north-western at Te Atatu and was musing how well they've aged, in fact I like them more now than when they were new

a while later approaching the Ponsonby off we came across another porker and I thought gosh that looks a bit lardy, turned out to be a Panamera but as it went up the offramp it went behind a wall so didn't get to see the thing in its entire glory!  ;)

Popped down to the supermarket this morning and spotted this round the corner from my place...  8)


Was going past same garage earlier today and when I saw the owner working on his wife's MX5, had to stop and say 'Hi" and catch up on neighbourhood goss. The MX5 is her daily, otherwise the yellow 308 is hers. His daily is a company Hyundai and as it turns out he now owns the red TR. Initially they had been baby-sitting it for a bloke who had lived across the road. I didn't press for details.

He says the biggest issue is getting parts locally without pawning a body part first. He frequently gets away with bits from the Fiat bins for much of the electrical and some of the more mundane movings parts. Same actual part but the Fiat bin tends to be cheaper.

The two new houses next door, BigBumper, are having their open homes next weekend. Something like $1.2m for the golf course one and $950k for the street side.

Also spotted an unusual creation in the paddock at Puke - an open-top 3 wheel.... err, "thing".  Had two wheels at the front and one at the back, and was designed to look like an old fighter plane.  Had a propeller on the front and little wings at the side with a tail at the back.  I saw it when I drove in but when I went back to take a pxt it was gone.  Most bizarre!

No no, it was on the open road. He was behind be me, went round a roundabout, I had the window down and could head the F355's V8 singing away which must have been in second gear, I booted it as did he, he didnt pass, dont know if he could. But to be honest I think it had a little more go than the RS2 but not much. The woman in the passengers seat of the F355 must have been wondering why the blue wagon in front wasnt getting minced.

He was behind be me, went round a roundabout, I had the window down and could head the F355's V8 singing away which must have been in second gear, I booted it as did he, he didnt pass, dont know if he could. But to be honest I think it had a little more go than the RS2 but not much. The woman in the passengers seat of the F355 must have been wondering why the blue wagon in front wasnt getting minced.

Pristle - I love the Alfa Montreal... such a cool shape.  Not sure I'd want to own one (or should I say, maintain one!)

just saw a 5-door MK4 golf with a R32 sticker and what looked like R32 brakes, twin tailpipes..

a quick carjam look shows it's the 3.2 V6 but it just says 2003 VW golf. engine code BFH.. is this a R32?

Never seen a Force 7 in the flesh, but I do recall the first time I laid eyes on a P76 - My oldest brother came to visit with one, and I recall thinking that it was massive as far as as British cars went. True to label as well, he had a 200L drum of oil tucked in the boot ;D
Title: Re: The Official SPOTTED thread...
Post by: Pristle on November 07, 2009, 12:10:59 PM
It was never a British car, it was designed and built by the Ockers.

Never mind the 200l drum, it'll hold 28 cases of beer!! Maybe that's why the P76 won out against the better looking Force7.

yep, the Milli Miglia Merc ride was Jenks, another great character, developed a scrolling route guide to give Sterling pace notes

Jenks was a little guy with a beard and because he was sitting in the passengers side looking down a lot, the Italians said that Stirling was fast because he had a priest alongside him saying the rosary as they went!

had a ride in a TSI spec Mk6 Golf this morning after dropping the GTI in at Tristram for a service, just different inside, not necessarily better IMHO

was chatting with one of the sales persons, he had a GTI chipped by VW SA, so it kept the warranty, they added in a driver training day at Kyalami where he saw 300 kph on the clock, said he had wondered about starting up an NZ GTI club, so I told him about VASK

Dads old E36 M3 3.0 is for sale at Tradin Post ATM Phil, it was chipped by the first owner, dyno sheet could still be in it that puts it just over 300BHP.
If you want a E36 M3 go for the 3.0. The 6 speed isnt as strong and the double VANOS in the 3.2 craps itself often.
Also the 3.2 doesnt seem to put out the 321BHP on a dyno, it was more a marketing tool so BMW could say its puts out more that 100BHP per litre . . . The 3.0's on the other hand often put out more than the claimed 286BHP.

Have you thought about buying an E46 M3?

If you want a E36 M3 go for the 3.0. The 6 speed isnt as strong and the double VANOS in the 3.2 craps itself often.
Also the 3.2 doesnt seem to put out the 321BHP on a dyno, it was more a marketing tool so BMW could say its puts out more that 100BHP per litre . . . The 3.0's on the other hand often put out more than the claimed 286BHP.

Have you thought about buying an E46 M3?


I've had a quick look over that E36 at Tradin Post - had no idea there was a connection there. Its seems in nice condition, not big on the purple though. E46 have dropped in price quite a bit - easy to find one under $50k now - even under $40k.

But M5's are even cheaper, and I lust after a big V8


There is a lovely MK1 GTI on display at Giltraps I noticed today. L Reg in Gold - whose is that ?

Is it the car that belongs to the old fella who contacted us just before Concours last year and ended up being part of the display perhaps.

White Golf Mark 2. Lovely condition. Got me thinking, was it a Mark II, or III with mark II mods to it. Like the sticky out handles.
Driver had  a VASK sticker in the rear window, centre. And also an angled Exhaust pipe, and a white Golf badge on the rear. Also wider tyres.

I was in the Silver V5 Mark iV.

Definitely not VAG but made me think of the VW 1/2 ton (Golf) Pickup, a Proton Jumbuck. A baby ute of the size we seldom see here.

Man did I have a "spotted" day today - had an eary start meeting at 7am, driving back through Remuera I see not one, but TWO white V10 RS6 Avants within the space of about 300m of each other. Lush! White is the new black!

Then later on in the day I'm heading through town and I spot this tow hack S8 - mmmm not bad for pulling the bikes eh! (Sorry the pic sucks - cellphone pics FTL  :()
(https://www.vask.org.nz/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fe138%2Fturbo_phil%2FS8towcar.jpg&hash=d82990047c5968e0bffb2fdfb99081bb63c46c96)

Then around 4ish I'm cruising up that back street that runs behind Conti's and a white R8 comes stepping it around the corner. I love R8s but this one was really smoky under power - can you get a diesel R8 in NZ? Either that or I suspect a dodgy MAF and massive overfuelling maybe?

Saw a forest green 3dr Mk4 Golf on Quay St last night around 6pm
Think it was a R32 (did they come in this colour?  I don't think so, but I could be wrong)
Otherwise it could have been a regular 3dr with a 1.8T and big wheels... certainly looked/sounded like it was turbo'd

I saw 1.8t audi wagen / Allroad x 3 / RS6 / RS4 / Golf GTIs... on the way to Matakana and back from Auckland.

Also saw one Fiat Uno Red in Takapuna at around 6pm... was going way too fast in the middle of the city. Slow down in busy streets dude... no one thinks you are cool.... You are an idiot if you do that in busy streets.

it is a sad fact that some of the BMW owners (cue porcupine joke) who started to get embarrassed about their marque's reputation have "graduated" to AUDIs and brought their lack of driving manners with them  :P

I've suffered from some of them before

Because Enzo is the name of Enzo Ferrari, the man that started Ferrari. I dont think it necessarily need to be on a Enzo. The owner of the 430 might be a Ferrari nut whos run the plate on cars for many years, before the Enzo model was ever born.

There is a local 308 around here with ENZO 8 as a plate, its been on the car since 1989.

That's the one. They couldn't get it on the trailer so they drove it on gravel and seal with a flat. I guess if you can pay $1.7m ish for the car, you can buy a new rim.

spotted the Silver mk4 GTI with the huge Flared arches and deep dish mags that was on TM a while back in Manukau Heights. Didn't look 2 bad in the flesh, still not my cup of tea.

Lionel Rogers.  Yep thats him.  He flipped the 360CS taking a groom to his wedding!  I didn't realise it was in the Domain.  But I'm guessing he wasn't too popular with the bride  :(

Also crashed a yellow Testarosa (I think) at Puke on a Ferrari test day, I seem to remeber that was a write off as well.

And on that note - I spotted a beautiful silver A8 4.2 woth the most awesome wheels on - they sort of changed colour - from a burnt-metal (sort of rainbow-like colours) to a blackish steel look as you changed the angle on which you looked at them. Big deep dish 19" or so, they would have been.

Was in Chch over the weekend and test drove a car from Euro Marque. They had this stunning black Gallardo with black wheels, black leather with cream quilted inserts.
My God was I dribbling.
300 grand was a little out of my budget so I left it there.

That enzo used of belong to one of the guys who started Navman way back when. I understand he has sold this car now. Very interesting guy to talk to, no pretence,  no bulls**t. He used to do Targa in a Nissan 350
He also tipped a 360CS up in the Auckland domain once upon a time,


Now the Enzo belongs to a guy that actually drives it (like it was stolen)
great to see it actually been used.

I've said it before, Zagato either gets it wonderfully right (Aston DB4 Zagato) or horribly wrong (any Zagato Ferrari), these are a bit on the cusp, which makes them quite fascinating

Loads of classic cars yesterday on our drive back to Wellington.
An old Falcon Coupe like Eric Bana drives (well, drove until he stacked it into those trees)
A red Ferrari which I thought might have been a California as it flashed past - are there any in NZ yet?
Loads of nice VAGs all over the place :)

The tech working on it doesn't speak much english so it's proving dificult to get the full story re warranty etc. I doubt the customer would be paying for it, but I'd like to know how he broke the conrod!

Post by: qta4 on December 30, 2009, 02:35:55 PM
I would say conrod is faulty, because if too much power is driven through, the they usualy bend.
I have never seen one broken, with normal power.
