I would play the waiting game. It ...

I do, it's awesome.
Feels cleaner than you have ever felt.

Once you start you can't stop. There is that time period of growing your hair back when you look like a complete doosh.

Edit: I put the clippers on zero. I would never do a razor shave.

Telecom are not participating in the WP7 launch. Telecom will look at it early next year.

My father calls it 'poor tax'.

I buy online so it only costs me $2.50 per week for 4 favourite lines.
I purchase 4 lines x 10 weeks.

Someone at my girlfriends work won 500k when they were younger. They have nothing to show for it.

It was a f'ing disaster.
I bought new lights lol.

I sprayed the clear and it ate the paint. I couldn't be bothered sanding back the clear again to restart after spending so many hours on it. They will be on trademe soon :)

Best way to get an Exhaust from Auck - Chch

I have one in the latest Hayatonka container.

I did an online estimate from Mainfreight and got $190-$250 approx. Reasonable?
Or I can fly up and risk Pacific Blue not taking it. But that's a day off work, and a boring day at the airport (snore).

Anybody know a good courier company that they ...

They swear by using sandpaper but I've had success with "G3" Polishing compound.

I need to repaint the black edge tint, so I had to wet sand. The paint would never hold on the polished surface.

Top light after 400 grit. Bottom light was the better looking of the two.

What grit for plastic pre-clearcoat?

Wanting preferably a professional opinion since I will probably end up going to a pro for the clear, depending on cost.

How high a grit should I sand my tail lights without jeopardising a clear coats hold?
I am restoring my MR2 gen3 tails to new.

I have sanded my tails 400 and 600, have 800 ...

Too hard = unsafe on roads.


Because tracks are smoother than NZ roads?


^ Yes. Although I wouldn't say it caused the crash at all.
It was the drivers behavior.
