Cozza

This was my one. Sold it in 2017 for what seemed like bugger all. Then Covid hit in 2020, and the reality set in that I was never going to justify spending the money they were now commanding on another. Gutted I sold it, as I loved the heck out of it. Shouldn't have listened to the now wife.

Great to see another still alive and kicking, with a bit of love given to it.

A few from the last few months. Missed a shot of a sweet XF Ute outside Lynnmall a couple of weeks back. Old mate driving it had an epic mullet.

Old Volvo belongs to the father of a child I taught last year.

Didn't have the chance to take a photo as I was driving between Matakana and Walkworth today, but spotted a place with god knows how many Jaguars and Rovers out the front.

did you slyly snap that pic as you pretended to tie your shoelace?

If he wasn't rubbing one out instead, I'd be very disappointed.

There's a red one I see quite often around Titirangi and Glen Eden (in Auckland) which is lowered and on some decent wheels. Bloke behind the wheel is sporting an excellent mullet. I feel like I'm missing out by not owning a K11.

Classic in Glen Eden. Been there for years, slowly rusting away.

Well done, good sir. Very impressed with your problem solving skills.

Wow, I can't believe one of these is still around. Genuinely lusted after these in my late teens. Yeah, I was a special child.

Of course there is a Scarles sticker on the rear bumper.

That's my masty material sorted for next year. 

Spotted this in Auckland on FB, if anyone also wishes to make exciting life choices. Manual with a seized handbrake. $1500.

This thread does make me want to go for the opportunity to get my fat hands in far too tiny a spot with a Mitsi.

Nice. Wonder how many primary schools that has been parked outside with a free candy sign on the side.

Spotted this a few months ago on a hoist at a garage whilst parked at the lights (just above the blue ute):

Definitely my GTI-R. Getting harder to find decent ones these days.

Still pining for a late 80s/Early 90s Japanese hot hatch or something like a dirty turbo Cefiro (99% if them seem to RFB'ed to death at this point). 

I remember turning on a broken power point in a friend's garage at one point. I was not a smart child, put it that way. Now I teach children.....

Fresh import or squirreled by someone in the past?

Ex missus' family back in the day was mad on this generation of Mirages. They had a few Cyborgs including ones with the 4G61T engines. Underrated cars; would love to find a decent one these days.

Have you still got the relatively stock E39A as well? Building a little collection of blue smokers still I hope.

Where is this, out of interest? Have two mates restoring one and wonder if they want to try score it as a parts car.

They don't rust, nothing major goes wrong with them, just little niggles that are easy to sort, is it manual or auto and what year is it?

Cheers for the response. 2001 and Manual.

Turbo is smoking and not boosting apparently according to the seller.

Seems to be the right time to chirp in. Looking at a Mk4 GTI on the weekend that apparently has a rooted turbo. What sort of obvious things should I look at with such a car? Do they rust in any particular areas?
