    My first trip to New Zealand was in 1984 when the country imposed a very high duty on imported cars. Cars were expensive and, thus, maintained to a high degree. The cars on the road reminded me of cartoon cars, as they came from a time long ago, but had to last for, at least, a generation or two. Kiwis (the local population) were well adept at changing the oil or adjusting a timing chain, as mechanical knowledge allowed them to get from here to there with good reliability.

    This Brit spent two glorious months driving the length and breadth of both islands with a small Toyota camper. We stayed in camp sites and often rented one room studios for modest costs. Travelling in NZ is a dream - superb ! As a Brit, I enjoyed driving on the correct side of the road, unlike the US, Canada or continental Europe. It is an excellent driving experience with low speeds, about 40 - 50 mph, giving time to enjoy the beautiful passing scenery. South island is best for holidays although the far north of North Island, with two coastlines so close, is also a real pleasure. Apart from our mega drive along the Arctic Highway, the entire length of Norway, returning through Finland and Sweden, our NZ odyssey was our best global travel experience, never to be forgotten. All the New Zealanders I met were great people. Apart form the vast distance from everywhere else, we both felt almost at home.

    Oh god, as soon as I was hovering over the thumbnail of this video, I saw a screenshot of the BMW E36 Compact and I was thinking Nick was going to throw abuse at my Dad's car in Tokyo and say its the worst car ever to have exist with a BMW badge like all the other car enthusiasts... I'm glad I was slightly wrong, although I have a confession about my Dad's car that I'd rather not post in this comment or i'll receive death threats in the car community! But lets remind ourselves, BMW makes the front wheel drive people carrier called the 2 series Grand Tourer, and the fugly+hard riding X2 SUV as well. So even if the E36 Compact may be the 'bastard-child of the 3 series', it really isn't that bad compared to some of the crap that BMW makes in their range now.

    Agreed. E36 compacts are pretty damn cheap now so they are incredibly popular to be used for trackdays and driftdays. BMW have a 'secret' car collection where they store their one-off M3 Compact in red. Not sure if it used the S50 or the S52 straight 6, but it had a manual for sure and OEM-looking quad exhausts which must've influenced where the E46 M3 was going.

Although my Dad's is a 1999 'M-sport' model with the 'updated' M44 engine (which most people hate understandably in the 1.9 Z3 and E36 318is coupe), the earlier 318ti in M sport trim used a near identical M42 engine used in the E30 318is - which proved to be the 'budget M3' and therefore the 3rd most popular E30 after the S14 powered E30 M3 and M20 in the E30 325i.
