Snapped this pic out of obligation while we were waiting at a traffic light then noticed there was a person inside

Another vert for you sickos.

I saw a couple of ladies driving around in one with the top down on a sunny day, their hair blowing majestically in the wind while their faces beamed as they cruised down the road. Living the dream. Now I kind of want one

There are indeed heaps of them in Tasman/Nelson area! Not sure why.

Probably because you brought them there?

Why did no one page @GuyWithAviators since he missed out on the other wagon?

I think this thread needs to add something to the search criteria along with number of doors, manual, etc etc.. we need to see k11s without dents. Pretty rare it would seem.

Oh, whoops. Who knew.

is that a demonstration k11 drivers cant park?

Tbh, I have found myself parking fairly terribly in mine on a few occasions when I first got it (I always corrected it though) The turning circle is amazing compared to my big bloaty modern car and it took my brain a little while to adjust. It is mint for getting into those little parallel parks that most people can't access though.

Would recommend. We also enjoy driving ours. We lowered the 1.3 and it sticks to the road so much better now. The smallness of the car and big windows make you feel like you're going super fast even though you are really not. The 1L is pretty gutless.

Yeah definitely auto, saw that much from the photos. I suspect just a standard engine and a whole lot of unnecessary bodykit

after walking past the boxheadman, i came across this little gem.

I saw this on Facebook, it was going for $1500 and sold surprisingly fast

@Guypie was driving us home one night on rural roads when we came around a corner to find two possums going at it in the middle of our lane. They got demolished, cracked the bumper.

"mY sUv HaS a RaNgE oF 600" Not everyone wants to burn fossil fuel. Yeah you can do it faster with a combustion engine but that's not the point of the article. This is literally about a man showing that EVs are getting capable of more than just commuting across the city. They haven't always been and this is a positive step, the tech is getting better. Why bother with starting a whole new top talking smack and nit picking the small details? 35min per stop is what someone would take for a lunch break, not many people would be travelling that distance non stop anyway. Just breathe and relax man.

Never even considered wrist braces! Don't be like Nathan 

Someone pointed out recently that if you have wrist braces then the next point that's probably going to snap from the impact/shock is your collar bone. Whether they are correct or not I'm not sure but I'd rather a wrist than a collar bone

Kind of Lingpost but we bought a car not so long ago with a known CVT issue for cheap. Seller posted a million times in the listing that it had issues, even posted a video of the car running to show the issues. Sent us a sales and purchase agreement to look over before we came to get it stating the known issue and the repeatedly told us that it's AIWI because of this issue when we went to pick it up. Had to tell him several times that it's only a $500 car, he's not going any complaints from us. We drove the car home from Wellington to Hamilton with a tow rope in the other car just in case haha. Text him when we got back to Hamilton and he was astonished, offered to sell us his BMW with issues too, said no thanks to that one. 

Guessing from how scared he was to sell us the car, that he's been burnt by buyers not doing due diligence/ expecting too much in the past. As others have said, as long as you didn't purposely try to hide a known issue, it's the buyers problem not yours.

$700 4 door, pfl manual (needs clutch)

Does anyone have experience real life with AJP motorcycles? Have been offered one for a good price and reviews mostly sound good except that they shift like dogs apparently (but so does my lifan). Portuguese bike with Chinese engine. Specs seem to be exactly what I want specs wise.. low seat height, not too heavy, enough power, electric start but undecided if we should just pay the Honda tax (double the amount of the ajp) and wait for a crf230f?

Yeah they basically two shops in one, the turbo and diesel side and general mechanic, wof, tyre stuff. They have seperate insta pages for both sides of the business, I will send you links and you can have a geeze. They are closed until the 18th btw.

Our friends own raglan turbo and diesel/ Bosch Avalon on Avalon drive. They're a good bunch who know their stuff generally and our friend Ben basically just kicks around the shop doing his own projects and roasting coffee beans and making people free coffee while the mechanics do the car stuff

The 3 spokes actually make this kind of cool, super ugly car with super ugly wheels makes a kind of appealing vehicle?
