More price-gouging in NZ

[pritch]

Car tire shops, the process uses similar equipment,

Really? I've spent some time hanging around tyre shops waiting for repairs to work vehicles, but I didn't ever notice a machine that looked as if it would handle a motorcycle wheel.

Umm these petrol stations that you are between; are they in the USA?

Personally I didn't notice a difference at all. Will have to pay attention next time.

Ahh just noticed your location ...

Rest of the country has more tools than just a big hammer, and a bigger stick.

Pretty much everyone rags on McD, BK, Wendys etc, I don't eat that shit, I'll never go back etc yet they are all doing OK...
I think they are all shit too but maybe once every 3 months I'll suffer thru a south western bacon cheese burger from Carls Jr yummy!!!!!
You are right though, the burger bar stuff of days gone by were the best. Mt Eden takeaways used to do a bomber lamb burger and there used to be a place at the top of Parnell in the late 80's that had the best grub in town.

If you ever get a chance to try Velvet Burger (visiting NZ or whatever), they are good. Very very good.

Course they don't do $3 big macs on a Wednesday, but you get what you pay for.

its not a genuine original ford part...he says so.The ford dealer will be bound to buy parts form FORD...i bet the actual margin over the counter is not what you think it is.They will be getting ripped of by FORD too

How often "Genuine (Brand)" means that the brand actually just outsources the manufacture of the component anyway and gets their logo put on it. The fact that both fobs died in quick succession speaks somewhat to the fact it's probably made in China anyway... probably even in the same factory.

I have a genuine George Foreman slow-cooker. It looks exactly identical in every respect, except the label, to a genuine Russell Hobbs pressure cooker. Except the pricetag was $10 different.

If in Wellie, try ekim burgers from the caravan on cuba street (used to be at lyall bay). Best burgers and chunky deep fried potato products i have ever tried... mmmm... hungry now
