dont over charge your battery, you will cook all the charge out of it. also dont let it get dead flat (like under 11 volts) as that kills batteries too.

Thousands of ND mx5's adrift at sea.

the car carrier ship with the very first batch of thousands of ND mx5's has had total engine failure and is floating adrift at sea approx 200 nautical miles off the coast of Alaska/America.
The Phoenix Leader has been stopped dead in the water for around three days now.

personally out of the four, i'd buy the second one (the silver RS) the first and last come on crappy 14" wheels which kills the handling. the third car looks "ok" and its some sort of special edition spec, but i get the feeling its one of those tatty cars imported by a dodgy dealer ...absolutly no r...

that price is for the old NC model retractable hard top which are much pricier than the ND will be. IIRC the Aus spec NC PRHT was high 40's also, so a 32K AUD SHOULD mean the NZ ND is well under 40K. there are going to be a LOT of 2011+ NC owners who are going to take a bath on depreciation... imagi...

there is absolutly ZERO justification for the ND being over about 35-36K here in nz. the aus and nz spec cars will be the same and even come on the same boat. if its over 40k in nz then they are just screwing themselves out of sales.

hate to break it to ya MrGrey , but the falkens are essentially illegal as of this month. so there are NO 195 or 205 road tires legal for an 8" wheel. 15x8"s are going to be selling very very cheap in the next month or so as every man and his helladog gets pink stickered for running 15x8's. the only...

the red one is simply overpriced. even nice ones with hard tops only go for 5. the silver one has some good gear on it but even so its only worth 7500-8k max. even Sprtstas turbo candy red one went for much much less than that.
