Congrats on the car. Welcome to the forum! What color black is that? Azurite? Black Sapphire?

Lidistick · 07-18-2019, 04:41 PM

Thanks for the welcome. It’s Singapore Grey and it needs a dechrome of the kidney grills and I think it’s done.

jjbeamer · 07-19-2019, 01:03 PM

Great spec and background! Enjoy it there are some amazing roads down there

brad850csi · 07-19-2019, 04:12 PM

Singapore Grey brother! I'll keep an eye out for you if you're in the NI. I'm in Auckland but I drive all over the North Island.

Lidistick · 07-20-2019, 02:27 AM

I’m up in Whangarei. That M6 is a beaut!

brad850csi · 07-20-2019, 04:28 PM

Cool

no BP north of Warkworth with 98 though but I guess Mobil and Gull are up there with 98?

I went to Russell on the ferry then the long way around the coast coming back a few years ago in my C63 and had the fuel light on at Warkworth

Great find and welcome to the Singapore-Gray-Is-The-Best-Color Club! Enjoy those roads

Lidistick · 07-21-2019, 01:38 AM

BP 98 is available at BP Maunu road and on Riverside drive. Also the BP just before the turn off to Old Russell Road also does 98.
Mobil only do 95 - will top up on K’ Rd when I’m in Auckland but have stopped doing that due to the extra tax!

Ohh interesting, BP don't list that on their station finder. I'm going to be driving up in a few weeks time for work but I'll have plenty of range coming from Auckland to Whangarei then return.

I try and avoid the Auckland tax for public transport as well

Every time I'm out of town I make sure I fill up before I come back into the city.
