Numbnut Posted 24, July 2013 Report Share Posted 24, July 2013 Nice upgrade! Really hope the Crusaders bring the trophy home Country road drives should provide some nice respite. I've only done Chch to Queenstown and back but my god it was nice, decent roads too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Posted 24, July 2013 Report Share Posted 24, July 2013 Hi ,Apex yes Miles did say it was the best RS225 they driven , proberly to do with the Superchip remap ?I thought it was a 2007 but they have it as 2008 ? It was actually a late 2005 early 2006 at the newest being a pre/facelift, my guess is that it was registered late in the game, possibly an ex Australian car as the distributor at the time used to bottom feed of Australia's unsold stock. Good to see you in the 265, they look awesome in that colour combo, bit be sure to get in touch if I do a South Island road trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGANEKI Posted 24, July 2013 Author Report Share Posted 24, July 2013 Apex. the old RS225 had more dealers than private,it was first sold via Euromarque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordini NZ Posted 25, July 2013 Report Share Posted 25, July 2013 Welcome to the RS265 Club. Did you specifically order one with those options or did they happen to have a car in stock with them fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGANEKI Posted 25, July 2013 Author Report Share Posted 25, July 2013 I was just lucky,they had it in stock in Auckland and only 2 weeks to deliver, looks like fine weather this weekend may do a quick trip through to Arthurs Pass and back !

MEGANEKI Posted 29, July 2013 Author Report Share Posted 29, July 2013 A nice drive/ride and usually not to much traffic ,the odd campervan , only problem at the moment as couple weeks ago they had snow to the height of the fences their and loose gravel is still on some corners which can make things interesting .

Dish Posted 29, July 2013 Report Share Posted 29, July 2013 It's about time we had some NZ members featured in our calendar I'll be putting together the details for that project shortly... would love to pop one of those pics in it.

Moosey Posted 29, July 2013 Report Share Posted 29, July 2013 Maybe we need to organise an ozRS trip to NZ. Ship our cars over and go for a week long blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordini NZ Posted 30, July 2013 Report Share Posted 30, July 2013 Nice idea! Probably cheaper for the few of us to come there though Although we do have the better roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupremeMoFo Posted 30, July 2013 Report Share Posted 30, July 2013 NZ absolutely 1,000,000,000% has better roads. I'd love to take my Megane over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted 31, July 2013 Report Share Posted 31, July 2013 Maybe we should just all head over en masse and steal the NZ members cars for the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Posted 31, July 2013 Report Share Posted 31, July 2013 Avis rent GT86's out, you could hire one of those, or just rent a Corolla like Clarkson did when he was here the other month, as he said, nothing is as fast as a rental car! Happy to offer up some hot laps of our local roads... Targa may well be heading to the South Island next year too so look forward to that.

MEGANEKI Posted 31, July 2013 Author Report Share Posted 31, July 2013 re top gear, I didn't think it was a rental car ,you would have to think Toyota had something to do with suppling the cars as they are a major backer with team NZ america's cup and the rental company are not talking about the filming ?

SupremeMoFo Posted 31, July 2013 Report Share Posted 31, July 2013 That too. I'm sure they don't mind the advertising (Avis) but Top Gear must have some unconventional arrangements with the manufacturers given the cars would be half destroyed.

Gordini NZ Posted 1, August 2013 Report Share Posted 1, August 2013 What struck me about the insert was that it wasn't a Team NZ boat that was featured. Oh and that while it has been going downhill for some time Topgear really is plumbing the depths now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
