That would be awesome if I was in NSW but im in VIC ;)

If I break it then tough luck, thats what their insurance covers!

I really don't think they can ask for your finances... unless your willing to give it to them.

What about all the guys who don't have credit cards i.e. drug dealers etc :) I'll stick with that... I'll tell him I'll have him whacked if he doesn't cooperate!

Nexus 9 I think you have it down pat! I think you may have had a bit of work to get the M3 drive yes?

PS Love that model M3 and thought about buying one but I cant let my line go yet...

No not really ... but I had background purchase history with the BMW Dealer beforehand

PS Thank you, I like it too ... ain't no R8 though

sorta on topic... there are always rich pricks cars at the back of the place i work at, usually bentley continentals and stuff like that. but when a black r8 rocked up the other day, god damn they are beautiful cars - plus the speedo goes to 350 lol. its makes me happy just seeing cars like that (fortunately its a weekly occurence) ;)

Ever driven a boxter Sheriff Wan?

i have, there pieces of shit mate. my uncle went out and bought one about 2 years ago after 2 weeks he traded it for a 911 turbo 2004 model.

he said that driving a boxter was like driving his sons barina lol

i hate boxters unless they have a fine lady driving them

just read this thread hella funny. i got a idea

rite out a check for half a million or wateva the cars worth, n show em the check n say u wanna test drive..........

Another good idea... ring up and say ur from the make a wish foundation and say uve got some1 dying whois last wish is to drive a audi R8

you have no chance!!!

The reason Audi ask for your credit card is to actually show them you are going to buy the car, not for the purpose of credit checks.

My girlfriends father bought an A4 about 12 months ago and as part of the bargaining they asked for the credit card. It just allows them to see who is serious and who are tyre kickers!!!

I dont know why you want to test drive the R8??? it doesnt even get any more power than the RS4, not to mention the extra cost which is astronomical. The chassis is no doubt nicer, but i can assure you that the RS4 has more than enough ability to have fun anywhere you want. And yes, i have driven an RS4 on a regular basis

You will not get a R8 drive. Audi/merc/ferrari/porsche and so on already established a curent and potential clientele list, and even if you are on that list and you are a "like" client then you may get a drive, even the general sale reps are not allowed to handle them, only senior management plus dedicated sale reps. I'm sure Audi OZ. has a pretty good idea of who could and would want one, and rolling up in a Boxster or an M3 isn't going to help.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
