V8Pete Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 I would think the tranny is Ferrari-specific. Not renowned for weakness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Indeed, you just need to pay inflated Personalized Plates prices. Â Â Nope, a guy on one of the Porsche pages I frequent just reserved a normal one, and he just has to wait for it to be produced... it cost like $25. Â If you want a 3 letter, 3 number plate now now now then it costs less than a normal p/plate but still lots. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I always forget how small Astons are. Shitty parking in the lines by the Mazda though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Blardy modern carparks are narrower than they used to be. Â All about jamming as many cars all up in that bitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Shitty park sizes in general, by the looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Cool how the Aston number plate is smaller than the others too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 A couple of badass shopping trollies you have there fine sir.. Â It amazes me some of the more mainstream euro stuff can be had so cheaply - the original owners must have experienced eye watering levels of depreciation, like a 2010 AMG C63 wagon for 40K (dropping a cool 130K from the purchase price in 6 years).

V8Pete Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Man, that AMG's sweet. And has more power than Aston. You are brave parking that anywhere near other humans.No point having a daily you can't/won't park anywhere. Also, any ding is more justification to repaint. Part of the reason I took the photo was for potential insurance implications too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 We finally got a nice, dry day in Auckland so I booked it back in for its retest. Couldn't be bothered waiting for the 334488 plate - they said I might get it Tuesday if I'm lucky - so just got a standard issue one for now. There seem to be heaps of second hand Japanese flat decks coming in from Australia. And this thing. A bunch of brown Clios For Spenno It seems really down on power so will have a closer look tomorrow. Runs smoothly so hopefully it's something simple like a sensor playing up or blocked cats. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Should delete that exhaust and get a wideband on it, check timing, new plugs, check air filter, then get a supra. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post V8Pete Posted June 2, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2016 Should delete that exhaust and get a wideband on it, check timing, new plugs, check air filter, then get a supra.Maybe it's so slow because the back wheels are on backwards. They've still got 40,000 km of inertia in the other direction stored in them. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
