Re: Talk some sense into me - Mazda RX8

Had a look at a couple in weekend on dealer lots.
Surprised how useless the boot on them is. Add a stroller and it's all you could get in there.

Still like the idea of them, just may be a little to impractical as much as I don't want to admit it.

May change plan and look try convince wife a ...

Talk some sense into me - Mazda RX8

Long story short, looking at a RX8 as second/weekend car.
Was all set for a 2 seater, but realistically on occasion will need a baby seat in the back, so the RX8 ticks these boxes.

Just cant decide if I go rotary or not, heart says yes, head says no.
Have looked into mechanical warranty's, and to ...

Re: 2014 Formula One

2013 v 2014 sound comparison.
Turbo engines can sound good, but these are just terrible.

Re: 2014 Formula One

Gotta say, after watching a bit of practice..................where is the noise? These are just so dull sounding, doesnt make the hairs stand up like the old V8/10/12's.

RIP real F1!

Woohoo, seasons over! Hopefuly next season brings some excitement to the table and someone can go head to head with Redbull.

This season was right up there with the 02 and 04 Schuey domination, impressive in a way, but boring as a racing fan. I actually gave up watching this season, first time ...

Open road signs

The open road sign, and 100kmh both mean the speed limit is 100kmh.
Does anyone know whats the reasoning behind having two different signs?

Are there certain situations when one is used over the other?

They annoy the heck out of me on my daily commute, as it seems alot of people dont ...

Out of interest, could you do motorbikes as well?
No idea if the prices differ as much as with cars, but if they do, I could be keen on a new motocross bike.

Avgas in Christchurch?

Anyone know where you can still buy avgas in Christchurch?
Its for a 2 stroke dirt bike, not for car use.

Also, where can I dump old fuel?

Put towbar on the Legacy and use that when you need to tow?

Unless you just want an excuse to spend some money on another car and wish us proles to tell you how to spend your own money

Have a towbar on the Legacy, but baby seat really doesnt particualary fit in the Polo even with teh seat ...
