Toyspeed

Finally got a set of polished factory wheels on the MR2 with my good tyres off my old one. Only taken me since last November to get it all sorted. Drives so much nicer than it did on 17"s.

Digging up old topics but did you find anyone to do it in the end? I've got a suite I'd like to get done, it's probably about 30 years old and so much nicer than anything I could afford to buy new.

I always either put in $40 or a full tank, depends on how close/far it is from payday.

Mind you in the AW a full tank is only 35 litres so I'm always in a gas station.

I'm starting to like it more and more, a little out of my budget right now but I suppose in 3 years time there'll be cheap imports available. Looking at that diagram I'm quite surprised it's so close in size to an AE86 but with a longer wheelbase. Glad it's no taller, modern cars these days always ...

Found it for sure, it's on Tressillian Drive, off Wards Road.

It's the big red barn at the top left.

Can't believe it's on that weekend, I'll be working all weekend on stupid coast to coast. Might have to send my old man along.

Hard to tell from photos but I think I might know where this is. Not too many large, newish looking barns around Rolleston.

Depends on what side of town, when I'm going Rolleston to Riccarton it's business as usual but going Linwood to Riccarton isn't pleasant. That whole side of town has pretty much $&#$% roads, I think I drove over what would be considered a cliff on Edgeware Rd the other day… Pretty sure the ...

Don't see what's wrong with reminding the Germans and Japanese that we beat them good and proper.

My grandma always used to send me letters with the best old person handwriting, every birthday and christmas with a card and money. Nowadays no one does, I think the last letter I got was from an ex about 3 years or so ago. Now it's just bills and bank statements (fire starters)

I'll be watching, nothing like spending a Sunday getting drunk and watching Aussie cars crash into kangaroos/each other.

Oh yea, GO THE GIZ!!!

Oh that is decent. I'd prefer a vent free bonnet though.

I had an old Corona coupe that someone smoked in, you can never get it 100% clean but it certainly made a difference when I cleaned the headlining, it changed colour after being cleaned and scrubbed a few times. I would imagine without stripping out the whole interior and air vent system and ...

Just another time waster, facebook is bad enough and I don't trust Google.

Had a puncture the other day in Linwood during the last big earthquake! Tyre was $&#$%. Wouldn't go anywhere without a spare. I don't see how anyone would ever notice the difference in weight when driving on the road anyhow. Space savers weigh next to nothing.

Don't park under a tree/seagulls/pigeons…

Doesn't float my boat at all. Nowhere near 80s enough for my liking.

Could also be down to the fact when you see an FXGT for sale its usually in good condition whereas the Levins/Truenos are usually pretty ratty and have suffered at the hands of a few too many first car buyers.

Party vote National, John Banks for Epsom.

Labour will NEVER win an election again until a tidal wave washes across their benches and gets rid of all the walking dead that sits there now (ie Goff, Mallard, Cosgrove, Ruth Dyson etc). They would also do well to remember their roots and realise that ...
