You bought an Italian bike

They get 10 strikes before you should even think about considering potentially listing on bikesales...maybe

Should have bought an R1

It's not too late

Or get back into Skylines and have fun even in the wet

haha gonna see how long warranty takes this time and if they actually have a propper fix for it, you google it and it's everywhere

had a quick look online.. there isn't really any other bike around the same price that i'd actually want

Meh, you'll see it when you get home...

Orlando stepped on my laptop (somehow with seemingly a lot more force than a sub 20kg person could exert).... this is unlikely to occur

I know but you all seem to be forgetting when something breaks replacement parts cost the equivalent of what parts cost for a $200k+ car not the $55k you paid 8 years later.

Either way that one is over priced you can get way lower kms for similar money

black on black will always have a premium.

I reckon if they dropped to current LS430 prices (under $20k) it would be awesome value for money (in the luxury long-wheelbase department anyway). though, the new (and smaller/shorter) Toyota's coming through in Japan are very competitively priced.

speaking of luxury... my doilies turned out (or appears) to be a genuine Nissan item.

inb4 i charge Nismo prices for it.

I definately wouldn't want to price up replacement regenerative-braking motors for it though...

Clearly not experienced with luxury vehicles I wasn't referring to brakes more so electronics and so forth

just like any car, you know the in's, out's, do most of the work yourself and know where to get reasonably priced parts and its a much better ordeal.

if people dont want to do that but still want a unique car, then they have to accept its going to be pricey to maintain.

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
