Grim. Probably auto, probably small block, 4 door, shitty headlights. Sign me up!

I’ve got a pair of recaros that I think came out of a surf. No rails. In good nick blue/grey colour pm me if you’re interested.

That's funny.

Such nanny state rules, probably dreamed up by some committee comprised of church elders/school teachers/ general buzz kills to stop young people having any fun.

I wonder if the constabulary would be a dick to a middle aged "adult" (lol) who had also held a full car license for almost 30 years for riding outside those hours.  I should rock an L plate on my twist and go, and ride around after 11pm trying to get accosted......

(Except I seldom stay up that late cos old)

Can you use a 50cc scooter for the basic handling skills thing?

Not sure if left to rot would be more appropriate... 

If that’s sitting outside I wonder what’s in the shed.

You would need to be on a register of some sort to own one.

Register of cunts that DON’T GIVE A FUCK!

Dude living in a 4 door in Kamo at the moment. Has a dent in the left rear passenger door and is auto. Grim.

What about a gazebo type carport/room thing. Set it up low and strap it down. That way not touching the paint.

Do they come in manual?

Yep I just have no other euro cars to compare to! 

Have driven one. Manwell too. Not as enjoyable as an e46 coupe for comparison. Would not trade again.

Customer of mine is storing it for a mate. Mate didn't come get it when he was meant too, so customer stuck it outside. Will be eligible for the left to rot thread soon. 

Buy buy buy

Oh that’s right yep 2x for me and oldschool discount. Nice people to talk to as well.

Swann. Can’t remember why but they have been fine. No claims but. 

I was looking at a 6 (I think) outside work today. Any comments on what they are like compared to a mazdaspeed 3 (gen 2)?

Don’t know my Nissan engines well but is that an sr18/20?

One thing that pains me the most about this all, is people always just want to seem to talk about the value instead of enjoying their cars. It's taken a great deal of fun out of the ownership, when people just want to discuss how much it's worth, or worse still, just stop using them because they don't want to put km on it or something. It makes it all really boring, tbh.

Was having this conversation with a mate the other day. It’s no longer for enjoyment. I love buying cars I can go out and drive.

I agree. Prices will have to drop at some point. And then in 20 more years we will be paying 20g for a honda crx sir and ae82 corollas lol.

Shall time the sale of my vw accordingly

This is now a thing

Seems to be the answer to most questions on oldschool.

This is probably a good one

They go hard 4 wat they are

And are right in the middle of prime being -ruined-by-teenagers stage. Rolled guards for 18x10s , straight piped and massive camber gang/stance daily/thrashed daily stickers 

 

And I'm picking all performance cars will be much harder to come by or at least heaps more spendy once the govt starts changing the world's weather by introducing some more rules about cars   

They early mazdaspeed 3s already seem to be ticking up in price. 
FK8 climbing and they are essentially new.

I reckon Celsiors and LS460s are absolute bargains for what you get and destined to climb. So much attention paid to manufacture.

Oooh please get into this project really keen to see what you do with it. I grew up sailing little optimists, p classes, starlings and sunbursts. It was a right of passage with a family full of boat builders. Wish I had the time to still be involved in the scene. Such a wholesome way to pass the time and many good people involved. 

Imagine if this thread went the way of the rotary piners thread. $100k+ Hiluxes in 5 years time.

Get a Lexus LS460.

Whangarei is providing the goods today, early rx7 s1 or s2 maybe? Looked like it was on Bathurst globes too
