Ah, I thought I had a more recent photo but it took a while to track it down. This pic from 2018, still beside the Thames van, but other things have moved

I didn't make an offer, or lowball them... I asked for a price, and was given one, which she wasn't prepared to honour. 

That's low

Last time I really walked around was back in 2020, they were clearing quite a lot of space across the road

Thats my experience with dealing with them too, and that's recently. The old bag at the counter in particular is half the problem there; shes the literal incarnation of "no lowballers, I know what I got".

Having removed it, and needing it, I was forced to pay it.

 

I guess she was right?

I've bought parts in person with no drama. They even let me dig through a box for a petrol cap on a sunday when they weren't really open.

Never tried over the phone though

If all else fails it will make a nice dog kennel

How about tensioning a strop around the middle on the outside?

I agree that it'd be easier on a warm day

Ol mate at Papakura motorcycles is closing up

Has lots of project bikes for sale, and parts. Final day end of the month, go make an offer

 

There was 50 or so bikes last I was there

Presume there were 100 before that?

An automotive glass place should be able to replace the mirror glass. I had one done for my Holden, they urethane sealed it in I think, because the old glass and retaining gasket had fallen out and were lost.

Sitting in my wife's kia sportage right now. Petrol auto 2wd  does the job nicely.

Well we are no longer ev owners and back into a petrol suv. The wife was pissed off about how they kinda knew it had a problem before we got it and never said a thing. Carnt go into it much but we swapped it for something else on their yard. Bit of a shame as it was a nice car to drive and was starting to like it

Fair enough I suppose, that was pretty shitty behaviour from the dealer.

Ha ha just heard from the wife, dealer got in touch now she’s freaking out and wants to take it back

Just needs a software update and reboot

How's that i-pace @Early jap nuter?

Crikey, what a rip.

The sign is from Raetahi though.
