So, anyway, i think this thread has digressed a little bit from my intention, which was to find other maxima owners in new zealand.
I can imagine matt will lock this some time in the very near future...

And if I would've taken that left turn at Miami, I might've ended up in NZ in another 3 hours!!

I had a 4th gen. Ask chchmax how a 2.5 auto beats a 3.0 auto in a straight line. Then you will realise how the normal maximas are a bit inferior compared to Japenese versions in the power department.
But hey, Ive looked around and found about 3 maximas (3rd and 4th gen) and all have been way overpriced and underspeced. If you know a good car sales area in Melb, please let me know. Who knows maybe I will get $500 trade for the falcon??

- Yokohama a 539 tyres
