Ocean11 0 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 rach, K's are not ideal for ripping up the highway for first tracks with a bunch of mates and their heavy boots... In fact, K's get in the way of people driving real cars Link to post Share on other sites

mogski 0 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Doesn't the name "Bongo" hurt you in the least? Not wanting to down you or anything for your cheap deal there, but lets be real here "Bongo"... Your beleoved Delica "Star Wagon" driver BTW, rach I can offer you a tow on the highway if you wanna get to the mountain quicker. Just don't wind down you windows or my exhaust will kill ya Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Good on you, rach. Happy driving. Just don't find yourself behind O11 in his "real car" Link to post Share on other sites
Telleboy 0 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Its the first four letters that caught my attention. But yeah your right, is a bit poxy. plan is to send it back to NZ in dec when shaken runs out as it is the same price to re shaken it as it is to send home, 1998 model is selling for about $7500nz at the mo so good profit, after gonna get a toyota hi ace 4wd to set me up for winter, big buck though.

indosnm 0 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Telleboy, you will be loving the hiace! i got the super GL ( long wheel base) with deck in the back. best thing is that you still have a rear passenger seat to pack in the crowds. Link to post Share on other sites
fantastic 0 Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Hope you've got some shaken left on that one there rach, sure you've done your homework Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Ks are no problem - enjoy it! Link to post Share on other sites
Telleboy 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Yeah, cant wait to get a new Hi Ace, especially for the extra size, the ol Bongo's just a bit small as the missus and I spend alot of time camping in it, being the Bimbo Gaijin we dont tend to pay for accomodation. even in winter its still good to sleep in but the new Hi Ace will be luxury.

damian 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Good stuff Rach. Myself and a few rouges from this forum are contemplating getting a joint car for the coming season. I am actually contemplating finding a girl friend that lives in my area, who snowboards/skis and owns a car. That way I can screw my mates who will have to catch the train while I ride in luxury.

woywoy 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I couldnt have thought of a better idea myself db. A girlfriend who skis/rides OK and can drive you up the hill each week. Does it get any better? But more importantly, does she actually exist? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 This urge to screw your mates seems to tie in rather closely with the aftershave thread... Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Good on ya rach - why did you wait so long? Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 db my apoolgies over my absence of invitations for car trips last year. I will resolute this year at New Years to be much better, unless of course you have shifted over the other side of town and that you don't mind my fourlegged and two legged companions joining!

Tufnell 0 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I'm thinking about getting a car too but I can't really afford anything more than a 4th-hand K! So I'm just a bit worried that it wouldn't be suitable for where I am. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Some kei cars are OK. Subaru lent me a Pleo S (or something 'special') when my car died, and it felt quite powerful and was a real pleasure to drive. I think it had 4WD too. Of course if you bing in a kei, there isn't very much between you and it... Link to post Share on other sites
