  1. Collected! It's a 2005 Mitsubishi Grandis...one owner from new, complete with original first aid kit! Apologies for the shite photo
  2. It is a CAF Electric Multiple Unit - I'm not sure exactly what "Type" but these are Auckland Transport "AM Class" units....I guess they're "heavy rail"? They run on 3 foot 6 inch (Cape Gauge), like the rest of NZ railways. Don't mention "light rail" in Auckland...it's a dirty word! 😂 The car is an unusual one to only have 200 of, it's fewer than you would expect!
  3. 1st step Any guesses as to what it may be? There are only 200 of this specific model of car in New Zealand.
  4. That's a pretty awesome front room garage. Near-ish to where I live, in the suburb of Ponsonby, in Auckland. Parking is notoriously hard to find there, and many of the old villas do not have the space on the property for a garage.
  5. Ah, I would love to come and dribble on your Sigma. But I'm in New Zealand! World events asides, it's still quite a trip to come and change a clutch. And my clutch changing skills (nil) may not be up to scratch. Surely any decent mechanic can have a go? We got your Sigma as a Magna. There used to be heaps when I was growing up...now I barely see any. Is your Sigma the 2.6 or 3.0 litre?
  6. That looks absolutely delicious...as I may say being a 1990's Mitsubishi licker. If you plan on doing any work on the car (This is Autoshite, of course you will!) you may want a workshop manual. See here: http://mmc-manuals.ru/Old_Mitsubishi_Cars This page has workshop manuals for most 1990's Mitsubishi's, including so far as I can see, your new Galant. Good luck.
  7. Congrats on the purchase! That looks very clean, and very unusual for NZ. Certainly haven't seen one driving around, and you do see Citroen's about a bit here. Long drive for a small car? I too am Auckland based...though formerly of Dunedin. Auckland isn't the best city for fun driving...at least compared to the South Island. That said, a small car will fit right in.
  8. Today I washed the Airtrek. This isn't significant of itself, except that it's the first time I've washed it in 6 months - Auckland water restrictions have been lifted so car washing is ok, for the moment. Looking shiny! Or at least being wet hides the paint fade.
  9. I found out today my house mates have a Nissan Primera P11 wagon...and one with over 330,000 kilometers on it! I had a quick drive - my first in a P11 - it's a surprisingly rorty car. Still on the original engine and clutch too. I can see why people like P11's. Not bad to drive at all. It seems really solid - asides from a worn through carpet in the drivers footwell and a squishy steering wheel, it feels like has at least 150,000 kilometers less. Even the drivers seat bolster (seats trimmed in luscious velour) isn't worn through.
  10. Went to MOTAT (the Museum of Transport and Technology, in Auckland, New Zealand) today and found some top chod worth sharing here: I will lead with a wonderfully orange/brown Morris Marina Estate: With a fitting beige interior: (This was as close as you could get) The description may resonate with some shiters: This Morris 1100: (Also beige) And an imposing Daimler DE36 Hearse, originally a limousine used on the Queen's 1953 Royal Tour here:
  11. These are ace! They're really quite nippy and a great steer. I went to look at one today; don't let the pictures deceive you..it was significantly crusty. I am tempted as it is relatively cheap, but it is unusual for a car to rust in New Zealand so I have a little umming and ahhing to do.
  12. Hahaha...........no. The Warrington Domain, a sports field and freedom camping ground, doesn't even have a toilet...the local Council installs a Portaloo from November to April over the summer.
