What did you score? Excite! 

Suzuki TF125:

I acquired a small motorcycle today, so I’m all in for this.

The wife doesn’t get angry with me when I buy silly things, but I was expecting her to be disappointed with this one. Instead, she was just highly confused. I think that’s a win.

I can't remember what gang lives around those parts, but remember to bring weapons to defend your patch.

How are we supposed to know if we should wear a blue or red Swanndri?

Hopefully we'll get Shaz to do it next Thursday at Petone.

Wearing jandals and hand feeding seagulls.

Good luck.

Registering interest. Gah, I thought I had until November the 24th to find a bike for Eastcapescapade, and now this event pops up!

Never heard of a Van Van before, but I like it a lot. Where'd you find it? Trade Me?

So I've been looking at small bikes, and I'm thinking a Suzuki TF125 might be a bit of fun. Good for hooning around our paddock too.

What do yous reckon?

I only saw this thread 2 nights ago, but I'm pretty keen. My calendar looks clear, so that's a good start. Now to suss a bike of some sort.

Great meat.

Good to talk to you tonight, @tortron.

RIP?

Damn, classified expired already. What was it?

I read the thread title and wrongly assumed it was for a rocker cover racer. 

A Kia Brisa.

Doh. You didn't even smell like cabbage.

I don't reckon it'll be long before we see rx8s with IDA out the bonnet and a dodgy home porting job.

I sold a rotor sticker to a dude the other day who has one of these.

I was browsing RX-8s on Trade Me again last night, and yep - the majority of them are pretty cheap. Pity that 80% of them pre-2005 tiptronic slowports.

Were you there last night, @tortron? I don't know if I'd recognise you, as I don't think we've actually met IRL.

I'd drive a PT Cruiser.

In a demo derby.

Are you after indoor, or outdoor storage?

Holy shit, someone actually did it!

Ooh, crown VIC? For cert? 

Pretty certain I'll buy one in the next few years anything worth knowing/ going to be in the mechanical failure thread? 

It would probably be worth knowing the difference between a Crown Victoria and a Caprice. 

/\/\/\ Looks like your autocorrect changed the word awesome to gross.

Yeah nah yeah, it's so gross it's awesome though. And Mach Green is the best factory colour for a Series 1.
