Andrew 7467 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Today also marks a year since my beloved Nissan Fuga bit the bullet courtesy of an old man not stopping at a junction. Can't remember if I ever shared pictures here, if I did it wasn't in this thread. I fucking loved this car, my Mercs fine but a bit dull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I briefly had a nissan badge shaped mark on my arm from the steering wheel airbag going off and smashing the cover of the wheel into my arm. But otherwise nope, I went into his driver door at 50kmh (honest officer) and we both walked away, other bloke was in his 80s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 43923 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 That looks like it could've been a lot worse for yourself, passengers and the old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 7467 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Definitely could be. Alas that was the end of my favourite car (so far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit too expensive, that engine is in quite a lot of cars though and was mostly why I loved that car so I've a few skylines on my watchlist currently to see how they go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully sick bro, when you get one, I'll race you in my HR (fuck off Scotty). Again, NZ grey imports will be your friend Andrew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how anyone walked away from that relatively unhurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye most of the cars we've had here have been imports, the really interesting JDM stuff has been absolutely skyrocketing in price the last few years sadly.

Glad you both came out of that relatively unharmed. Nasty accident by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 7467 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Had a look at a couple of things today, nothing really floating my boat. Going to look at a BMW 130i tomorrow which (if its in decent nick) I think will be the one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 7467 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 😎😎😎😎😎😎 Finally home (after waiting one day...) few bits and bats to fix before I need to think about mods. Definitely need to get car play installed in very short order. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 43923 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Car looks canny Andrew but is your lawn mower broke? (Looks like the eldest is moving out again so I'm just getting a bit of practice in for when her lad let's their garden go again). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63170 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Double drive. Double garage too, Andrew? Must be mint living somewhere with actual space. I mean we've got space over here but it's all owned by the fucking landed gentry and we have to cram ourselves into what's left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a bloke who comes to do the lawns every couple of weeks, they are immaculate tyvm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is one of the best and clearest differences about living here compared to the UK, space. Theres an absolute abundance of it here so detached, garages and all that is the expectation in the burbs. That said, there is a massive bubble powered by landlords here so prices are absolutely insane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 7467 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Its Canterbury anniversary day here tomorrow, so I'm off work but it seems like an absolute crapshoot as to whether other places are open or not. So with any luck I'm heading to a parts picker scrapyard tomorrow that has a few written of BMWs that should be compatible with my own to pick up some of the bits I want to replace for cheap. Wish me luck, 'cause I have no fucking idea what I'm doing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
