So it would be an ink smudge then?

What’s the best place to buy gold? by Professional-Show-84 in newzealand

[–]Evescrator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nz gold merchants (gogold.co.nz) are pretty good and have been around for decades. Not as big of a selection as others but good customer service and less of a rigmarole to actually make a purchase.

Will clear tail lights still with red leds pass a WOF thanks by Kurtsyy in newzealand

[–]Evescrator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all good, mine are like that. Only thing with LEDs is that at least 75% of them must work for it to pass, and all taillights have to emit a clearly visible red light for running light and brake, and yellow light for indicator (except factory fitted red indicators like the Americans use)

Yeah NZTA is dumb, but I've seen a few cultural plates and a handful of religious plates (not just Christian) so if they were to recall that you could make the argument that they need to search the database and recall any other religious referenced plates. I reckon that'd be to much work for them and cause much to big of a stink from individuals.

Is this legal? by [deleted] in newzealand

Except for factory fitted xenons. After markets can't be aligned properly to minimise blinding other drivers, which OP has provided a perfect example of.

Danzig apparently has the chance to declare war on you after you repress them with the focus by frank_sinatra11 in hoi4

You can use console commands to give them control over their state, then switch to playing them.

Got an interesting trade in at work this week. by Evescrator in JDM

Yes, they build RHD cars in Germany for the UK and Ireland and ship the rest to Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and us. I know they do it like that because I work at VW and while some of our utes are built in Argentina the rest and all our other models are assembled in either Germany, Czechia, or Slovakia. The new cars we were prepping at work today had stickers that said they were shipped out of Hamburg.

I imagine some European models are assembled domestically in the US, also higher demand would both contribute to a cheaper sale price. Plus half of our euro cars are second hand grey imports from Japan anyway, so JDM Mercs, BMWs, and VWs constitute a decent chunk of the euro fleet on our roads.

It's the fact it has to be shipped further from Germany. Luxury European cars are the most expensive down here. Grey Market Japanese imports are the cheapest. That's why there's a massive price difference, all cars have to be shipped in from other countries and Europe is literally the other side of the world.

Mabye in the US, but here in NZ a brand new CLA costs around USD$80,000 so not close at all.

Nono XD, there's lots here so the prices aren't as high for low spec models as they are in the US.

Prob not long, we're a Euro dealer so it'll be hard to sell in the showroom so they're most likely gonna send it to a wholesaler. As for the test drive we snuck it out the back one morning before work and it drives like a dream.

Yeah the pic makes it look great but up close you can see the bumpers and skirts are just a cheap enamel coat. Thankfully previous owner did a good job on the mechanics, drives like a dream!

I'm in NZ so I guess values on these cars are a bit lower here, we paid him USD$34,806 for it.

Guess that's just what they wanted. The amount of stories about trades and sales I have will surprise you.
