What did you do to your vehicle today?

[Spigalau]

Shit.
I hope you kicked the old bat to the curb and possum stomped her false teeth out.
I joke.

What is that, an 70s-80s beamer? Looks like it has had a respray or a repair there already...

1974 Triumph Stag (which are now owned by BMW)



She's been part of the family since 1983, my family has a long association with Triumph as the Grand Father worked in the factory from '47 to '77, guess it's in the blood.

[Emrico1]

Hell yeah, what a minter. Those are V8s right?
Bet you were spewing. Oh well...

Did you try re-jigging the whole thingamabob?

[Retardobot]

I stood at a distance from my car, then casually and gingerly loafed around it, finishing my inspection with a light double tap on the back left tire with my right foot illustrating that I am happy with my cars current mechanical state and allowing on lookers to believe that I am well versed in vehicular maintenance.

Did you open the bonnet, and rub you chin with a thoughtful look on your face, then close it again?

[Retardobot]

No, my furrowed brow, slight head tilt, light hearted frown and a gentle but confused "hmmmm" was enough to conclude my inspection.

[Donkey]

Filled up. 433km off my last tank of 62 liters :/  could be worse I guess. Oh and another 2 liters of oil, thats definitely getting worse

[Demandred]

decided going to sell my car

any takers?

[mattnz]

Often people want to know what a vehicle is and the price before purchasing. But I'll take it.

[Demandred]

oh right

2004 Audi S4 6 Spd manual
Black, recaro leather interior
Flash stereo
19" RS4 wheels

I'll send you the bill

[Donkey]

Not many around in manual. How much and how many k's?

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

How many wheels does it come with?

I'd require at least 4.

[Demandred]

this has 5 wheels! 4 on the car and 1 in the boot!

35k for it with everything in it - including colour screen parrot car kit - bargin

[Tandoori]

took it to Kaikoura and back.

$80 to fill w/ 98.

Did 380km, used half a tank.

Average speed 130km/h.

Love the 4AGE.

[BerG]

According to my fuel gauge, the first half of my tank does about 300 kms. The second half does 100kms.

Maybe I should install two fuel tanks and just use the first half of each? I'd triple my fuel economy!

The Triumph Stag is a great car, my father owned one of the first protypes for the Triumph TR2's, unfortunately he left it in Britain when he emigrated to NZ. He had Triumph cars all his life till he passed away, good memories apart from the odd "'Kangaroo gas"". in rural stations, for those not in the know was incorrectly labelled octane petrol affecting the cars performance resulting in juddering, stalling.

[DeeUnit]

Just got my car back from the mechanics, sterling job. Replaced all the belts, new waterpump, oils and filters, and spark plugs. Turns out one of the coilpacks was earthing on startup, leading to the car only running on 5 cylinders for a duration.

Pulls harder, goes faster, no misfiring or flatspots. Over the moon that it's finally in top shape.

[NZFez]

got my old damaged mags replaced today with these

Now I just need to fix the rest of it.

[Pitchey]

Now I just need to fix the rest of it.

Why, what did you hit? :-P

Finally put tank and fairing back onto the XJ, Taupo next week for a new front tyre.

[NZFez]

didn't hit anything, just a common issue with super strut, you have to replace the front suspension arms as the rubber in them only last about 150 000km and mine are well over due and I need to do an engine and gearbox oil change

[han16]

My weekend:
-Oil change
-Pulled the remainder of the OEM stereo out (amp/cd changer in boot removed)
-Pulled apart the drivers door panel to repair some trim and assess the central locking
-Pulled apart the center console to wire the rear USB into the storage compartment between the front seats
-Got the paint repair quoted ($3000~, going to repair the entire cars paintwork plus replace the boot)
-Ordered coilovers.

Not a bad weekend really
