Be interesting to see how many old Toyotas end up there, given the amount that are still around down south. Dibs on anything K series :lol:
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

Weve been keeping an eye on it at work also. Best thing is we can just wheel our tool boxes down the round, lol.

It'll be handy if we are at work on a sat/sun and ever need any parts, 100m walk to pick a part, provided they actually have any 4x4's there. I havent seen many on the 'stock' lists around the country :-(

Will be in for a look at some stage for sure. Which will not doubt get me in trouble with the one I live with that doesn't appreciate car parts all over the place....

Need to stock up on air fresheners and k series bits :lol: :wink:

Well I didn't spot any k series, or decent air fresheners.

My work van tape deck is going to be replaced with a nicely spec'd mp3/aux in cd player though. Got one for the daily too, hopefully it works, have only tested one so far. Grabbed a coin tray and door handle. Went there to see the ae111 trueno..... good luck to whoever was driving that :(

Oh also of note, there was an ae101 Gt apex in there with a pretty much complete engine when I was there.

I saw you there picking at parts Luke. I seemed very quiet for opening day if you ask me. (I only drove past, twice)

Yeah agreed on the lack of people there. I was expecting to just do a drive by and go back when it wasn't packed. I guess if I didn't drive past the place most days and wasn't on a car forum i'd have no idea they were opening or even existed. I guess word will get around.

I really hope more people do head along as I want them to be successful!

Yes I agree, but it'll only be good for me if they actually stock 4x4's. Most of there stock lists dont list any, yet they list parts for them. The auck ones always had a reasonable selection of them when Id been to visit years ago.

4x4 nothing much (if anything) that I could see. Wasn't looking for 4x4 gear so didn't really take a lot of notice to be fair so could have missed them. Stock list for toyota was pretty accurate. I remembered most of the toyota stuff, but can't comment on other makes. There were a few more than on the stock list I think. Including the ae101 mentioned earlier.

I hear they have a lot of cars, but i'm not sure how often they add them in.

They have this: 8)
