50km/h couch
- Current bid: $720.00

Reserve met
- Closes: 17 mins
- Listing #: 353371907
This couch has given many faithful years of service, so one day it
was decided to repay it by attaching a Yamaha Jog 50cc 2 stroke scooter
to it. Its probably the fastest couch on our street while comfortably
seating three people, who are fearing for their lives 90% of the time
(including the driver). It has a MASSIVE drum brake as found standard
issue on a yamaha jog, which allows it to stop in the distance on an
international airport runway. And for those wondering, The last
policeman who pulled us up was less enthusiastic than we had hoped about
legality, but no drama's

Questions and answers
wow. genius ;-)
If you think this is genius, wait till you see our continuum transfunctioner
8:55 am, Wed 9 Feb
hi there Darryl.just a couple of questions about your
sweet ryde,do you have all seviceing records? have you had any work
done? reciepts? any rust? have you had all modifications certified
under part E6 page 173 paragraph 9 in the book of motorised living room
furniture compliance code,written by Hamish Cameron.And can i get some
action photos put up.
Cheers Ray
yeah gdRay, all of the servicing was carried out by an
authorised motorcouch franchise. and the work was paid for with goats
hence there are no receipts unless you count goat feacies as a receipt.
there was no Ray we were going to tackle such an audacious project
without consulting page 173 and indeed paragraph 9 in particular, of
that publication, which im sure youll agree, most new zealanders have
read and fully understand. how would you like my hair to be done in the
photos? a comb over?
5:47 pm, Wed 9 Feb
oi trademe...THIS SHOULD BE ON THE COOL AUCTIONS PAGE. !!!!
Thankyou for your support kind citizen
6:52 am, Fri 11 Feb
Awesome concept...especially good for the older generation who need company whilst on an outing :)
Well exactly. And for those older people who dont have
one, well they can complain about not having a motorised couch, on talk
back radio
3:51 pm, Fri 11 Feb
this is dope!
You should get that stutter seen to
3:53 pm, Fri 11 Feb
been looking for something to replace my Hilux this
looks just the job, can it pull a trailer?? How wide is this bad boy,
wondering if i could drive it straight into the living room when we have
the patio doors open? It could take a 2 seater but 3 might be pushing
it. This is a amazing sofa good effort min.
Im sure a tow ball can be fitted that would allow you to
harness the immense torque generated by the long stroke that 50cc two
strokes are renowned for. it is exactly 3 bums and two armrest widths
wide and would be a sterling addition to any homes decor
5:45 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Safety Belts? Free Life Insurance with this?
well, safety was the main thing that was not considered
when designing and manufacturing this. To ride this, it is necessary
that you do not value your own life, hence insurance won't be an issue
5:49 pm, Fri 11 Feb
you are a legend!!!!
thankyou. may the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of anyone who tries to ruin your day.
5:51 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Haha it made it on to trademe cool auctions and is it road legal
im pretty sure its road legal in Antarctica and Kazakhstan.... And maybe Kosovo
5:54 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Do you subscribe to the nitro circus manta "you ride it, you jump it"..
of course! its only the fear of popularity that restrains the couch from such acts
5:55 pm, Fri 11 Feb
I'm loving it,,, lol I want to upgrade it to business class sofa.
i happen to have a spare cow carcass that could be parted out for leather
5:58 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Is there a tv remote wedged in the couch cushions?
sadly no, but there is a full unopened DB crate bottle from around 1993 and a milky way with faded wrapper
5:59 pm, Fri 11 Feb
You reckon if im the lucky owner, it would be OK to drive to west Auckland?
With luck on your side, and a support vehicle laden with double brown, certainly!
6:02 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Hi...does it come with the lazy boy feature so I can
recline and could I attach drink holders. Love the aerodynamics! What
other colour options are there?
there is provision for drink holders, however we decided
against them, as they did not allow the girth of grolsch magnums
6:03 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Just about the couch, has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Ummmm......yes?
6:06 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Have you got the rest of the scooter? cheers.
well now thats a funny story involving a pole on a
footpath and the front of a scooter getting smeared off on the
aforementioned pole early one morning. but no, what really happened is,
that it was sucked into a vortex.
6:08 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Does it have power steering? cheers mate
the power steering was removed in order to feed our lust for adventure and near death experience
6:11 pm, Fri 11 Feb
May the spirit of creativity always be with you....How well does it do corners. Are you able to do drifts.
thankyou kindly. it corners well even at speed, and yes, it has even been spun up once or twice...
6:12 pm, Fri 11 Feb
thats awesome, is this road legal?
it all depends. recent studies by some of the greatest
minds in darfield, have shown, that there is a direct correlation
between how drunk someone is, and how streetlegal they perceive their
motorised couch to be. the answer is, it is not at all road legal,
unless you are nowhere near a road
6:30 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Would it be possible putting some wings on it so it can take off and where could you put the jet unit? cheers.
that is an excellent question, which, due to those exact
prerequisites, theres talk of it being Thunderbird 7 in the new
Thunderbirds film. The typhoon created by the exhaust gasses exiting the
big block powerplant create more thrust than a Pratt & Whittney
J75. therefore you may ask, "but what about the wings?". well good
question. because i dont know. but i wholeheartedly believe, if each of
the passengers held an arm out each with a slight angle of attack, then
they may get cramp eventually.
6:37 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Keen as, but thinking driving it up to Auckland may have
to be done in the very early hrs of morning to avoid the
fuzz...otherwise, any idea on estimated freight costs our way?
im not sure driving it up there would be adviseable, as
unnecessary running up of K's will harm the resale value. you know what
its like in this day and age, as soon as you drive a couch off the
showroom floor it devalues by thousands. freight cost depends... would
you use a vehicle transporter? or a furtinure moving company? But around
$300-500 as a guess
6:43 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Is there a beige factory-issue knee rug?
There is a bourbon stained beaded seat cover if desired.
at extra cost, plastic cover could be applied to give it that "i got
new furniture ages ago but i dont want anyone sitting on the actual
cushion because im old and value my loungesuite as if it were my child"
look
6:47 pm, Fri 11 Feb
has there been any fat chick action on this couch looks
like the right hand side has been subject to some large bootie smashing
at some stage.
When in Rome my son. When in Rome.
6:50 pm, Fri 11 Feb
continuum transfunctioner ... man TRADEME needs a like button :)
we will use the transfunctioner to manifest a like button upon completion of the time delay circuits
6:53 pm, Fri 11 Feb
how do you turn?
The couch pivots in the middle in spectacular fashion,
and with such ease that you'll be left thinking its a product of a high
end furnituremobile manufacturer
6:57 pm, Fri 11 Feb
10 out of 10 - Sure looks like fun. Good on ya'! Do
answer the other questions. The answers so far are most entertaining.
Cheers, Dave.
thankyou. its just a shame i have to be so serious about the whole thing
7:00 pm, Fri 11 Feb
legendary.
thankyou fellow accumulation of atoms
8:08 pm, Fri 11 Feb
where is the flux capacitor mounted and what happens when you hit 66mph ??
nothing happens at 66mph, or 67mph for that matter, but when it gets up to 88mph, GREAT SCOTT
8:10 pm, Fri 11 Feb
I can just imagine that dragging out some old laddie in a minni! hahaha :)
its too easy with a poor japanese replica of a 502 chevy crate motor behind you
8:12 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Tony Tinga would be proud !
Him and Grant Dupree would be salivating at the thought of turning up to the receptionist on this bad larry
8:13 pm, Fri 11 Feb
mate you are a legend! me n the hubby find this highly
entertaining and very ingenious. Does it come with co-ordinating
cushions?
cushions have been known to cause spinal bifidur,
therefore our religion does not believe in them, plus they blew off on a
speed test
8:14 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Any idea how much it would cost to post to auckland
i think its around 40c for a stamp. the issue will be adhesing it to the fabric.
8:07 pm, Fri 11 Feb
m8 that is an immensley wicked couch, i would so buy it
right now but alas,my wife sez we dont need one my kids beg to differ
but the ole ball and chain is too heavy.good luck with the auction my
good man.
.
thankyou sir, i hope for your sake, that you got permission before posting this question.
8:16 pm, Fri 11 Feb
how far can $20 get you ?
hmmmmm that depends on wind direction, speed, air intake
temperature, revolutions, incline, payload, suspension setup. oh, and
it depends what you spend the $20 on. plus the tank costs around $9 to
fill
8:26 pm, Fri 11 Feb
is it off road as well ?
for an extra $3000 we can make it 3 wheel drive, with 50mm body blocks, and a PTO winch
8:29 pm, Fri 11 Feb
are the arm rests origional? i dont remember these
coming out on these modles??? are the bearings in the front wheels rated
to such weight baabbababaarrrrrrrrry jnr
we retrofitted the armrests from a previous model and
bored them half a thou oversize to keep us within class 1 licence
regulations. are you asking about gross laden weight loading on the
bearings because you are heavyset? because if so, you should really be
bidding on cookies.
8:34 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Love it!!! You have made my day. There are some very
inventive and very funny people out there!! Thanks everyone for making
me laugh. Good luck with the auction.
thanks ever so
8:36 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Hahaha this is all class gaz, im sure you have a spare fj20det you could wire up to this!
i plan to fit an SR20 to a boat anchor but im concerned that the sea air will dissolve it
8:40 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Hey mate. How does it turn? Regards
it is steered by a series of smoke, ropes, pulleys,
mirrors, and abba's first album arranged in a domino like fashion
8:42 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Nevermind figuared it out.. Is it hard to turn..?
depends what youre attempting to turn it into
8:42 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Did you know your auction made it to facebook! and i
have to say you have an excellent sense of humour!!! Have you had any
recent pu tang action on said couch? and if so does that make it
automatically a member of the mile high club?
what is pu tang? im only 7

We have listing also in cool auctions we could swap :)
would you consider meeting half way...we could meet on the coast.
Super cool couch ..... does it come with a chilly bag?
certainly! if the drivers shorts are short enough, he'll get chilly bags
8:51 pm, Fri 11 Feb
does it have a security system?? Or would you just use a bike padlock??
Looks like it could take you a Grand spin anyway what ever the case!!
at any one time there are three armed guards who can
snap someones neck in 7 places simultaneously and sleep like a baby,
guarding the couch. so security is no drama
8:58 pm, Fri 11 Feb
are the springs in the coutch safe to go over speed bumps??
only at terminal velocity. anything less and certian death will occur
9:09 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Ten bids and reserve met ! so good SOFA. Or to couch
that in different terms -- successful, entertaining listing.
that was a suite question
9:07 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Looks kinda flimzy, if i were to purchase this
contraption what kind of guarantee would i have that it wont snap in
half?
you say to challenge 1000's of manhours of design and
architecture, with slanders?!!! you have insulted my honour!
9:16 pm, Fri 11 Feb
You are so awesome, that if you f*cked my mrs, I'd love her more.
im going to have to break stride, and say that is a F***ing brilliant comment
9:19 pm, Fri 11 Feb
MAN! I'm happy to see this AWESOME!

9:30 pm, Fri 11 Feb
How does she handle when taken into the thermosphere?

9:28 pm, Fri 11 Feb
What year is the couch, does it still qualify for the yearly warrants? cheers
what couch? what are you talking about?
10:24 pm, Fri 11 Feb
i see cpit auto mechanics course served you well mr rowlands, keep up the outstanding work. mullet

10:29 pm, Fri 11 Feb
my Nana wants to know if she can trade her mobility
scooter in on it. as she gets pissed because it hasn't got a back seat
for hump'n an hoe'n but she thinks this will do the trick if its
electric start and does it have a sounds system for her Metallica cds
whats metal licker? i only believe in megadeth
10:18 pm, Fri 11 Feb
I might be wrong but it looks like this isn't the
couches origional powerplant? Was the couch motorised before the scooter
power conversion or was it perhaps a pedal model?
it originally had an LD28, but we changed it to run on
yacht fuel for economy which was too weather dependant so we opted for
the flatter power curve of a 49cc 2 stroke
10:32 pm, Fri 11 Feb
is it true that once going the couch will drive itself an float like mary poppins?
depends how big your brollie is
10:33 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Tee pa pa needs this and would pay mega you are a
ledgend and the time on build well spent , love ya workjust wish i had
no mtg so i could buy and fly to winz on it

10:35 pm, Fri 11 Feb
thats better than camel toe!!!
Nothing is better than a good camel toe
10:23 pm, Fri 11 Feb
If you have sex on this couch, does it immediately qualify as a quickie?
Im never one to lose a race
10:36 pm, Fri 11 Feb
I'm planning a trip to Mt Ruapehu this winter with two
friends, this looks ideal. Can it be fitted with snow chains?
if you had said any other mountain, then yes, but in this instant, no.
10:38 pm, Fri 11 Feb
the mile high club-firstclass and upsized! excellent work!
thats a terrible question...
10:42 pm, Fri 11 Feb
What a great Valentines gift! Do you have a buy

10:46 pm, Fri 11 Feb

how many people have a stutter in this country????
10:48 pm, Fri 11 Feb
Do you have any YouTube footage?
there is a feature length presentation airing on TV2 at 12:30 on monday night, straight after emmanuel 7
2:10 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Of the couch in action mind you.
oh, well in that case, no
2:10 pm, Sat 12 Feb
I love this thing! WHY ARE U SELLING IT!!
You didnt tell me :(
ps it seats more that 3 people! and it still goes friggin hard!
mad drifties round Darf! good times :)
Who are you?
2:11 pm, Sat 12 Feb
I worship you and your creative amazing brain.
Thankyou, i cannot take all the credit however. because
if it werent for the computer, i would probably have a life
2:14 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Would the scooter be able to pull off speeds greater
than 50km/h, or was the 50 you clocked basically pushing it to the
limits?
Also, how efficient do you reckon the emergency eject feature is on
this?
testicular fortitude is the main limiting factor, but i
would imagine, with a bit of wind up its freckle, 52 might be
achieveable. many hours were spent in the wind tunnel designing this
with the aerodynamic qualities of a 4 storey apartment building in mind.
the drag coefficient is very low but the issue lies with the shape of
the persons/barnyard creatures on board. the most effective method of
tackling an emergency situation is to ride it out, therefore creating
bigger scars/better beer yarns
2:25 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Also - would the scooter engine take jet-fuel?
dont you mean Jet Li?
2:26 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Oh my goodness..you are funny...are you married? And are you male?
Im in a dedicated relationship with Palmela Handerson
2:27 pm, Sat 12 Feb
OMG this is awesome...
BY THE WAY..
This may be road legal, if it had indicators because a moped doesnt need
a warrent of fitness and can have 3 wheels... so technically there isnt
much stopping it being road legal...
hope is the first step on the road to disappointment friend
4:12 pm, Sat 12 Feb
I have 500 litres of home made 'over proof' rum, If I
bought this... tardis, would the rum be ok as an alternate fuel?
seing as its overproof, i would suggest a ratio of 75:1
where one is the amount in the scooter engine, and 75 being the amount
consumed by the operator
4:14 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Whats the mileage like on this badboy?
Gas is getting a tad expensive and I need something a bit less thirsty on the ol petroleums
its without doubt the most economical couch ive ever seen
4:16 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Hi there, just wanted to know if it comes with a canopy, for rainy days? Thanks.
weve always preferred the comfort that only a sog ridden
cushion can provide. it doesnt tend to be operated when there is a low
pressure area formed over this part of the country as its state of tune
will be affected adversely, aswell as creating a lower tyre to road
friction co-efficient
6:55 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Now if you get? caught jacking off you can get away without tripping over your pants
someone will have to explain this to me when im older
4:21 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Hey dude, has this adapted easily to the concept of
moving earth, or did it move the earth ? how well would it unadapt to
less moving earth in other hinterlands ? if so, could a couple more
crates be able to be stowed aboard for less turbulent territories ?
cheers
well, we were going to attach a standard issue round
mouth military spade to the starboard side of the fusion chamber, but
after a few hours of deliberation, it was decided that the entropy of an
isolated macroscopic system never decreases, or, equivalently, that
perpetual motion machines are impossible. after a couple of crates, any
territory would be most turbulent, and perhaps a smouldering ruin
7:06 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Hat off to you, my good sir. This is the most
entertaining listing I have seen. Certainty you must consider to enter
some sort of world record with this motorfurniture.
i can totally relate, as i too, have a hat
7:07 pm, Sat 12 Feb
tim southee could buy it so when he is bored out on the
boundary he could bowl a maiden over so to speak sit her on the couch
with him and chase the balls hit to cover without getting off the love
couch
he will have to wrestle it out of Chuck Norris's cold, dead hands first
7:25 pm, Sat 12 Feb
how many people can it handle matey my last couch got
impounded on the way home from the pub,does it come with a standard
homeless person feature
it has been known to carry 6 festively plump orange
juice swilling socialites on the odd occasion, but this has a
detrimental effect on throttle response. It has to be sprayed once
yearly with homeless person repellant as described in the "bums and
their consequences" chapter of the workshop manual, lest you be in great
peril.
7:24 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Love it!
Could you do a diesel version with a bit more grunt?
i did price up a 700hp Detroit 12V71 twin turbo for a
mere $19,000 but it was decided to spend a bit more and use the scooter
engine in order to achieve greater bottom end torque
7:27 pm, Sat 12 Feb
: ) you got the joke : ) but you know what you can come
here for a visit with the couch and book a flight back : )
cant you just post me back?
7:29 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Mate you have a real weird sense of humour I've been
sitting here pissin meself laffing, you should be a talk back host, or
better still apply for John Keys job brighten up NZ an get rid of PC.
All the best I really admire you
thankyou, i wouldnt cut Keysie's lunch, have to stay on
good terms with him as i will be contacting him at the conclusion of
this auction to look at spending $100 on buying 4 or 5 of his skyhawks
7:52 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Are there- Are there- Are there- any dodgy "marks" to be
found on-on-on or around the c-c-c-cushions....? Judging from the
Q&A's above, you've had your fair share of "f-f-fun" on it. Damn my
st-st-stutter to hell!
there are a couple of marks on it, merely cosmetic. one
due to an encounter with a powerpole, the others are stains from the
tears of laughter when control was momentarily lost causing the vehicle
to careen up a gutter and spew its passengers onto the pavement.
7:35 pm, Sat 12 Feb
If I had to collect someone elses kids from school
(heaven forbid) would the sofa/couch come under 'People Mover' class of
vehicle if one of the little darlings was to be positioned in the
extreme rear scooter portion of the vehicle?
A motor vehicle that:
has three wheels symmetrically arranged in relation to the longitudinal
median axis; and
has a gross vehicle mass not exceeding one tonne; and
either:
has an engine cylinder capacity exceeding 50ml; or
has a maximum speed exceeding 50km/h.
An LE 1 motor vehicle has one wheel at the front and two wheels at the
rear. An LE 2 motor vehicle has two wheels at the front and one wheel at
the rear.
but you may be after something more like an unmarked van
7:40 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Will it run on AV gas and if so when it is running on it will this contraption fly?
it will run on aviation fuel, but the lead needs to be
separated from the fuel first as it weighs the couch down preventing it
from taking off. a less labour intensive alternative is a mixture of
einsteinium, and unnilquadium mixed at 2.5:1 by weight 4:1 by volume
7:46 pm, Sat 12 Feb
You should make a youtube video of it
i didnt think the average joe was allowed to post videos on, what was it called again?
7:49 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Lets just ask the question on everyones mind. Can and
has it been driven through a Mc Donalds drive through and is there
enough change between the seats to buy a Mc Double?
we tried once, but hamburgers arent the only things that
hamburglar tries to mcsteal, which put a mcdampener on my mcdouble
7:56 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Is this vehicle air conditioned and does it have
airbags? I'm thinking of a bid around $1M but aircon/airbags are
prerequisites! Oh, and also, I assume neck braces are supplied to cope
with the massive acceleration that this power plant must provide?
i have the complete set of tae bo DVDs that i watch
every day while sitting on the couch which im certain helps to
strengthen my neck muscles to resist whiplash eliminating the need for
airbags or any form of supplementary restraint system
7:58 pm, Sat 12 Feb
WOW. This is cool. Does it reverse? I would be so keen to buy it, but I live in Wellington.
i wasnt aware there was a total couch ban in Wellington.
it has a 10 speed roadranger, with an air shifted splitter and 2 speed
rockwell diff, but we removed the reverse gear set to achieve 50/50
weight distribution
8:02 pm, Sat 12 Feb
How heavy is the bike...roughly. Say.... I'd attach a
inflatable couch on it, an a parachute. Would that prevent it from
drowning after jumping the pier?
the bike weighs as much as an unladen african swallow. you will not need those accessories as it defies gravity
8:05 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Hi is this the same scooter couch they were talking
about on tv awhile ago, last year some time? or is this a different one?
no this is quite a different unit
8:06 pm, Sat 12 Feb
I have 10 kids and would want to fit Plunket-approved
carseats for them all. Gotta keep the kids safe on the roads, eh. Do you
reckon I'll have no problems fitting these seats??
there will be absolutely no issues fitting the seats,
worst case scenario, youll be looking at 40% passenger deficit at the
end of an outing. but 6 out of 10 isnt bad
8:10 pm, Sat 12 Feb
How much did it cost all up to make this?
$326.50 give or take a few ernie rutherfords
8:13 pm, Sat 12 Feb
awesum you could go to the drive in movies and have a
better seat or just go to the drive through takeaways order and eat
right there lol. good luck on the auction :)

Hey, I was thinking of getting a 3 seater jet ski but
this looks more comfortable - can it be converted for aquatic
activities?
oh absolutely! the only things required are a bilge pump and rudder available from any marine couch retailer
8:17 pm, Sat 12 Feb
strait swaps for a reload cd and a full length dvd
featuring lars ulrich on why lars ulrich is the best drummer in the
world?????? also since this is neather a motorcycle or a car or a push
bike or any form of mas produced motor vehicle is it legaly possible 2
be driven home from the pub and not be done d.i.c as theoreticly it is
in a simular class to walking as ther are no specified laws for a
motorised couch???
only if the reload CD is signed by Gary Glitter, and the
DVD inside the case actually tells of how Neil Peart is the greatest
drummer alive and people like Lars and Joey Jordison are bottomfeeders.
what i tend to do is explain to the officer, that im very self conscious
about my couch piloting, so i like to have a bunch of drinks
beforehand. 1% of the time, the officer understands 100% of the time

At least I see you have chosen the right color for it,
Brown, that way no one can see all the stains when people just can't
handle the pressure of all that speed and excitement.
the couch was originally snow white....
8:23 pm, Sat 12 Feb
im building a death star at the moment coz i have a beef
with mosgiel.....but thats not important.
anyhoo......i've got a naaasty case of emphasaema, which is handy when i
make crank calls but leaves me short of breath when walking brisquely
to ominous music, and choking people for getting lippy.
im looking for something to get me from the emperers quarters down to
the compacter level in a timely manner. do you think this couch would
fit in the elevator?
is this the couch im looking for?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA thats absolutely beaut. Shredder
has the same couch in the interdrome, and has no problem with the
elevator. He too has beef with mosgiel

it was a fine addition to the festivities
8:29 pm, Sat 12 Feb
could you make love on it safely?
define safe
8:29 pm, Sat 12 Feb
my husband wants to know can you customize it with a "beam me up scottie" attachment to match his pointy ears
William Shatner has got Alan Shore to draw up a court
order preventing us from doing just that. at time of writing, its still
pending
8:33 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Well , I dont know wear to start, What a piece of art
along with the the best looking machie of the 90's, the people involved
in making of this , should go into partnership with Ford or a big motor
homes company, cause this would hit the world by surprise and you would
be billionaires within no time. Go hard or go home and good luck with
the auction and maybe your new career:)
thankyou, we were inspired by the incredibly subtle curves of a fiat multipla.

Hi, would you swap for a canon t70 slr camera with 3
lenses and a flash so bright it will make a hole in time? I will include
a JVC camera bag to carry it in.
while i appreciate camera's from that most important and
pivotal of decades, known as the 80's, what i really lust after is a
Casio DG-20
4:11 pm, Sat 12 Feb
hey dude... what an awesome invention!!.. i have just
posted your link for this advertisement on my facebook page.. will get
you more buyers..lol
Bless you child
8:34 pm, Sat 12 Feb
And this is so perfect for those long holiday trips when everyone in our family wants to sit in the front seat!
exactly!

hi, this is awsome....appreciate ur idea!
hello, i appreciate your comment
8:42 pm, Sat 12 Feb
In Islam, women are inferior to men because of their
lack of muscle, strength and their command to serve a male no matter
what. Yet putting this mild issue aside, would it be possible for a
woman to navigate, be seated and drive this couch? Thought i had better
get this sorted before moving on with interests of the couch

Hi there! Cool couch :) Was this couch featured on TV not that long ago?? Thanks!
No, its terribly camera shy, but if i said it was that one, would you bid with reckless abandon?
8:41 pm, Sat 12 Feb
WHERES THE STEERING WHEEL AT OI!!! ?!!! MAaaaDOOO
we traded it for a slice of cantalope in the winter of 1993
8:47 pm, Sat 12 Feb
if this shows up on Campbell Live, there is something
wrong with this country..... i would still like a ride though...
thanks...i think
8:49 pm, Sat 12 Feb
hey, i love it.. and might even bid on it hehe...
anything going to charity???
by the way.. what would it cost to motorise my sofabed????? i'm
serious.. i want wheels on it so i can out run these damn land maggots
and jsut pull over and sleep if i wanna...
it really depends what figure we get. regarding your
sofabed, ring the number stated in one of the earlier questions, he is a
library of useless information on that very topic.
8:55 pm, Sat 12 Feb
HI -
Ben Clark here at RadioLIVE - I'm a reporter wondering if you'd call me
for an interview / flick me your phone deets - I'm on auckland 3600 330.
Sorry, trying to keep it as low key as possible

thanks for your kind support Christopher Lawford Lea

Hi there, LOVE IT and wish I had the money to buy it , maybe if I win lotto tonight. :o) Cheers Amanda
let us know how lotto goes for ya, we are but poor fishermen from arizona
9:04 pm, Sat 12 Feb
You know fella this is such an awesome piece of
motorised joy that I'm almost tempted to ask if you'd be willing to swap
for my listing...trouble is I'm not sure I'd be happy with no spare
wheel...what if I get a puncture halfway to the beer fridge?
thanks but ive already got a ssang yong crankshaft seal.
im not sure if you can get run flats for wheelbarrows but it would be
worth looking into, as that would be a grim situation indeed
9:07 pm, Sat 12 Feb
I was wondering if there was any fines outstanding and
is it suitable for drinking 8s when steering this contraption.
i wouldnt call our fines outstanding, but they were pretty good, and 8s are a passport to the helm
9:09 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Can it be used for couch serfing
no thats just silly
9:10 pm, Sat 12 Feb
your missing cup holders for drinks but how cool

9:41 pm, Sat 12 Feb
For goodness sake .. over $260.00 .. and you haven't
even MENTIONED it having a foot stool or cushion tossed in?? The punters
aren't even TRYING to bargain.
i did offer the bourbon stained beaded seat cover though to sweeten the deal

What sort of time would I expect to get a Meremere Race Track for the quarter mile.
the tracks probably not there for a 9 at this time of
year, but a 10 wouldnt be out of the question on the run in tune, on
PULP
9:50 pm, Sat 12 Feb
Could this be converted to a Limo? Also would you supply headlights for those dark nights?
im not sure why anyone would want to downgrade it to
limo specification. And it is fitted with a 30 million candle power
spotlight, that was sourced from a search and rescue helicopter wreckers
11:05 am, Sun 13 Feb
what sort of off road capabilities has it got ..... Really , as i am interested for act in dirt arenas
it has excellent potential on grass but it does tend to
struggle slightly when youre fording the Wilberforce river, or climbing a
glacier
5:21 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Hi there. Is this motor vehicle safe for my Down syndrome son to operate..? Regards
of course! It just may take some getting used to the steering
4:00 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Nice. now serious questions 1 do'es it float? 2 how
difficult would it be to have some sort of power takeoff from maybe the
back axle to run a blender? 3 assuming we can get the blender up to
margarita rev range , and limit the number of ice blocks ,how much power
would be sacrificed? 4th and final question, I promise, are you
clinically insane ? if so, thats marvellous, if not, check again
It floats slightly better than a lead zeppelin and is
equipped with a 21 spline 1000rpm PTO shaft that is powered by a small
motor which runs on childrens tears. this would be ideal to run even the
largest capacity blender from the Breville range. I would expect to see
in the region of 20% drivetrain losses (including ungreased universal
joint friction), but perhaps as low as 15% if the operation was being
performed at sea level with no iceblocks.
4:09 pm, Sun 13 Feb
what kind of intense training does it take to be qualifyed to drive it
330ml arm crunches are absolutely paramount to achieve the correct mindset
4:10 pm, Sun 13 Feb
can you guarantee it can get to 50km/h? And would this be with a tail wind or headwind?
its seen an unofficial 50km/h with 3 aboard. officially
40km/h. i shall not elaborate as to the definition of official. there
was a moderate north westerly at around about our 8 o'clock position,
and 86% humidity at the time but i would have to check the black box
recorder to be absolutely certain on that

Is this what David Bain used for his paper run?
yes, but its hard to believe he was able to take time
out of his busy schedule of slaughtering families, to construct this
10:49 am, Sun 13 Feb
would be way meaner on air bags
that idea is being saved up for another project
4:28 pm, Sun 13 Feb

this would make an excellent addition to the killkerry fleet. oh, and you can T.M.B!

you bolted a moped to a couch, you actualy did
that....that is now part of your lifes work....you should be very
proud..
im not sure about proud, but im certainly very bald
4:36 pm, Sun 13 Feb
If all three passangers lean foward, will the couch achieve a Front side grind?
a front side grind closely followed by a triple facegrind
4:44 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Darfield huh? I can see those earthquakes have obviously
affected you guys mental state worse than previously thought.
yes, we're slowly catching up to invercargill. good to see you have the internet down there by the way.
10:58 am, Sun 13 Feb
Whats the postage on this beast? To auckland ?
It might cost plenty, but it also might not. So to answer your question i dont know yet
5:23 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Hi, love the auction and comments! would I be able to
hook up a set of head lights to this? Just thinking, it would be a real
chick magnet on friday night in town.
headlights wouldnt be a problem. A large Maglight has
been proven very effective. If i had a beer for every time a woman has
hit on me on this couch, my liver wouldve curled off like a scab by now
5:26 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Yu are bloody awesome!!!
oh im alright for a guy i spose
4:59 pm, Sun 13 Feb
do you have a buy now price m8
Not especially. My faberge egg fettish is a $1500 a week habit so i need as much money as possible to feed that.
5:02 pm, Sun 13 Feb
I notice the right mirror is out of adjustment. Is this
fixable, or is it deliberately set up like this for putting on lippy?
it is set at that precise angle, so one is able to watch the fear manifesting itself in themselves.
5:04 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Hi my Son believes he’s got the Number jacks living in
our couch and due to them multiplying in their numbers they need to
upgrade to a bigger couch dose the couch come with hidden port holes and
two level accommodation to suit !
indeed it has 2 level accomodation!, however its
currently occupied by the Doozers from Fraggle Rock, who are just
getting themselves back on their feet after the recent earthquakes which
have ravaged their construction site.
4:57 pm, Sun 13 Feb
is this road legal cheers aprox price on vinning,
it is road illegal. and sofa its been cheaper to just pay the fines than get it registered
5:28 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Could you attach a spring mounted fold out dinner tray
to the passenger seat and stuff an assortment of local take away menus
down the cushions prior to purchase?
The passenger could eat the World’s Fastest Indian whilst contemplating
how to bore out the engine.
we could do that, but theres no way it could be spring
mounted as that would defy the laws of thermodynamics, and quantum
physics. I dont recommend getting indian food as it tends to gain
velocity through the digestive system.
5:31 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Have you offered this to Hone Harawira for a fixed price offer??
his initial offer was rejected, so he is currently deliberating with the taxpayers.
5:44 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Rowlands you old buzzard, would you consider swaping
this bad larry for a datsun 180b, complete with seized engine and copius
amounts of rust? And maybe some 8's if delivered.Thank you for your
time
only if the 180B has double overhead foxtails, an odd coloured door, and the rust is a warm earthly brown

Hell , based on the responses to date and the quality of

Thanks mate

hi, i am a local pizza delivery franchise owner and
think this would be a great addition to our fleet. would it be possible
to try out for a night just to see if the customers can relate to our
new direction.
ps. i will throw in a free box on your next pizza purchase.
im sure we could come to some arrangement. if you win
the auction, i could accept payment in pizza boxes for storing my
collection of petrified pizzas
7:24 pm, Sun 13 Feb
what the hell does David Bain and his family got to do
with a stupid motorbike/couch!! what you wrote about his family was
wrong and shouldn't be on trademe for one thing!!
I apologise. Political correctness isnt one of my strong points
3:55 pm, Sun 13 Feb
My friend Fred has a disability he got 1993 in the
jungle of congo when an Egyptian cursed him the eternal power of 4,
confused yes, oh no a shark! Now Freds got no arm, can he operate this
sterling piece of art single handedly and is it camel flea poof?
thousands of them are pestering his crouch after sour trademe deals.
that is a terribly unfortunate turn of events! Once Fred
stops the bleeding, im sure he would have no trouble taking the helm
and driving up and down struggle street maiming those trademe members
whom have slightly put him out. i searched for arms on here but noone
appears to be selling one at present. And i hate to admit this, but i
dont think anything is really camel flea proof
7:31 pm, Sun 13 Feb
hi i have real trouble getting an erection do you know how i can get a good bar?
if i wasnt SO sure that the fun police would get me

choreographed to the music of Barry White

is it like pictionary?
5:04 pm, Sun 13 Feb
is it possible to get an interview with you and photo
for the hot4s magazine cover along with susan boyle in a bikini lying on
the couch?
All of the photos we have of Susan Boyle astride the
couch have been less than perfect, with poor lighting, that doesnt do
her magnificent stature justice at all
5:42 pm, Sun 13 Feb
just need some reindeer :)
i have two reindeer, but they will be for sale at a
later date as they have been conscripted into towing my other couch
around at the moment as i do not have the funds to motorise it
6:49 pm, Sun 13 Feb
oh my god i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thankyou
7:35 pm, Sun 13 Feb
Mate, this is the best thing Ive read for quite some
time... laughing my arse off or (LMAO) to those who have to winge at
anything on here, bugger off and go get a thing called A SENSE OF
HUMOR... go hard mate & enjoy the funds you will receive for this
fine piece of motorised furniture!!! excellent!
hahaha thanks!!. Its mighty difficult not to offend
someone with such provocative questions being thrust upon thee

Would you swap for a bag of chips?
Only if the chips in question were purified, unmarked,
tastefully aged burger rings in a concours condition decorative packet,
retrieved from an insane asylum high in the Andes mountains
7:43 pm, Sun 13 Feb
I checked out the "Other stuff you may like" section,
and none of them come even close. None of them even had pedal-power.!!!
Obviously your couch is rather more exclusive.
PS I wonder if the overall speed might increase if the tyres were at
the correct pressure.
No stone has been left unturned in the constant search
for peak performance. The Stig insisted that the tyres on this unit be
nitrogen filled to prevent pressure variation with temperature increase
which is impossible to avoid at the Nurburgring.
7:06 pm, Mon 14 Feb
Mate- seriously now ; that throttle stearing arm
arrangement looks like it could cause huge problems on the left hand
turns ??? or is there a correctional direction overide facility that I
can't make out on pik #3 ? Chur anyway
You underestimate the amount of cunning applied to these
photographs in order to prevent the possibility of imitation by some
other party! We worked closely with Captain Marko Aleksandrovich Ramius
to develop a slightly more robust system with less steering castor and
heavier bearings, not unlike that seen in his Typhoon Class submarine
6:59 pm, Mon 14 Feb
i was goin to spend my hard earned on yet another blow
up girl friend,...trouble is i've got such a little prick, every time i
get my freak on, they go down on me.
so as a fan of hirsuite women, and with the largest collection in
lumsden, of 70s playboy mags with that whole, 70s bush thing going on i
figured out,..... this brown furry ride could be just the ride i'm
looking for.
i guess basically......what i need to know is......how old is this
couch?
My goodness, thats got to be quite a collection! As in
that district, i would assume there would be a few competing for that
title. As for the age of the couch, carbon dating has shown it to be
around 16 and 40 so at least you know its legal
7:22 pm, Mon 14 Feb
in the nature of the thrust module bought out by the
international application board can the highlighted service manual i
gather this stands to be the correct formula? thanks Harry
That is true, however the exact formula is on a state of
the art microfiche and i cannot reveal the details within. However i
can say that the power tube circuits from a Hiwatt DR 103 are an
integral part of the thrust modulation solenoid control.

Were you pulled up by the darfield cop who the followed you home?Great effort.
im not one to kiss and tell
7:30 pm, Mon 14 Feb
great, i see theres even room at the back for a backseat driver.
That is in fact the sole ejector seat
7:39 pm, Mon 14 Feb
Could I bone my girlfriend on the couch good and hard at
50kmph? And what other protection do you recommend when doing it at
that type of speed?
3 helmets and a chaperone
7:50 pm, Mon 14 Feb
top speed??
yeah pretty darn top
7:50 pm, Mon 14 Feb
well done, just the humour we needed after the weekend, ever tried stand up comedy?
is that a cheap shot at the fact that i am a victim of tetraplegia?
7:51 pm, Mon 14 Feb
could you swap out the couch for a king sized bed?
well you could, but the danger of roll together causing
chronic involuntary intercourse, or a ruptured duodenum, was too great
to be considered feasible
7:48 pm, Mon 14 Feb
fancy that, a faberge egg fetish I thought I was alone,
perhaps we could have a couch session. start our own group now we are 2
..
i'll have my people contact your people, and we'll do lunch. hows quarter to, on the 30th for you?
7:53 pm, Mon 14 Feb
how many boxes of creature could be carried whilst 4
intoxicated persons from Darfield could be carried home from posties

What, in your experience, would be the suggested ratio
of inebriation to constitutional cohones necessary to perform daring
feats whilst operating this scrumptious marvel of engineering?
(Sans protective clothing. Obviously.)
It depends on the initial magnitude of ones cojones and
how daring your feats want to get. In theory, one could drive this
sober, although untested to date.
8:17 pm, Mon 14 Feb
can I borrow it for valentines day i want to take my 3
girlfriends out for dinner and this would be so romantic,I will drive of
course,then it would come in handy later,aye,geeeez us kiwis are so
ingenuative.
Valentines day was yesterday!! bet youll get flamed by your mrs's about that!
5:49 pm, Tue 15 Feb
I was going to suggest a possible swap (I've a well
behaved young Llama with 'low mileage') but then I realised that there's
no MDF coffee table to go with the couch. Disappointing.
Could i interest you in some nuclear family era dining
table furniture? Im pretty keen on the Llama! aslong as it jets lung
oysters from its mouth, mind you.
8:02 pm, Mon 14 Feb
Now stop it! We all know this is silly - it's not funny,
it's just silly. This isn't the sort of thing the empire was built on,
ingenious though it may be. One is not amused. What you need is some
military experience, young man. Get some disipline, serve your Queen and
country man! In my opinion there is far too much nonsense on this site -
and all you people are just encouraging him. When I was a young man we
had a war to win. Now stop!
Psst...would you do a swop for some juicy Vera Lyn pics?
Excuse me you venomous little harridan! i fought at the
Battle Of Agincourt for the empire that controls youre freedom, the same
empire that allowed you to write this hilarious comment that took me 2
days to manifest a response for! Now, Im not up on the latest pop music
trends (assuming thats who Vera Lyn is) but boy that Elizabeth of York
is a woman, that this 613 year old man would like to be in regular
messenger pidgeon contact with
7:35 pm, Tue 15 Feb
Are you planning on opening a workshop that customizes
couches/scooters? I would pay $320-ish to have this done to my
scooter/couch, or I will swap you a dozen 745s of home brew cider for
the original blueprints?
A dozen 745s of home brew cider would cover the intial consultation fee.

this is great...my mates call me Couchy, and i fell the
need to own this wonderfull piece of kiwi ingenuity, however i cannot
collect the item im question.good luck with the auction sir...just a
quick question...do you have anyplans for more motorised furniture? im
thinking a patio chair with sun umbrella could be a hit..thanks for a
great read love the Q ans A,s
haha thankyou, there are other plans for a myriad of
motorised things, but they cannot be revealed until a later date!

hands down the coolest thing i have seen in my life

Well folks,remember it's world rugby cup year!This would be ideal to transport all the referees to the pitch.
if this was on facebook i would "like this"
5:51 pm, Tue 15 Feb
I'm sure you must be thoroughly sick of seeing these
abuses of the "Ask the seller a question" section, but I'd just like to
say this is a terrific construction!
Thanks, and yes, My fingers are worn down to nubs from typing
8:32 pm, Mon 14 Feb
In the spirit of brotherhood of all furniturative
velocipedes, I thought it may intrigue you to know a similar pedal
powered attempt at lounge furniture has already attempted a tour of
canada. Although braking was often followed by the couch pitching
forward atop the driver and the unfortunate norwegian backpacker in the
passenger seat.
I am also constructing a bicycle-powered zeppellin that could
transport this beauty to prospective buyers.

haha that is majestic!!!!
5:52 pm, Tue 15 Feb
Dude, where's my couch? Lol no "and then"! I see your
continuum transfunctioner and raise you a bottle of 42 below vodka! We
shall drink! Sweet:-D
Do you perchance manufacture motorised cushions a la guru pitka style?
a magic carpet was motorised, but then it was discovered
that they already come pre-motorised so there was no need to motorise
it further, as over motorising would only add weight to the pre
motorised, motorised magic carpet

A truly inspired combination;Can Am Spyder geometry for
theoretically superior roadholding meets the sad reality of Harley
Davidson levels of cornering, grip, power, braking and aerodynamics.
All at unheard of (Harley Davidson) levels of Japanese reliability, Kiwi
innovation, frugal economy, lavish comfort and timeless homely looks.
A safety concern- can you make 120 more of these for the new Crown
limousines?
HAHAHAHA you are in the wrong job! you should be
replacing Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear! Yes we are considering using the
proceeds from this auction to found the company. Would you be interested
in becoming a vested shareholder in The 3 Seater Brown Crown Limosine
Courtesy Couch Company Limited Darfield Branch Darfield, or
T3SBCLCCCLDBD for short??
8:29 pm, Mon 14 Feb
Is this available for test rides. Maybe in late march?
http://www.centralplateauscoot
As a two time veteran of the Tranz Alpine scooter safari I would be smitten for such an adventure!
8:04 pm, Mon 14 Feb
Have to agree with Lindy257 on that one. funniest thing
I've ever had the experience to see. Good luck to you on your auction,
and the comment about WINZ paying for it.
Thanks, its appreciated, and we are actually productive
members of society but WINZ seemed funnier at time of print
8:20 pm, Mon 14 Feb
Umm I thinks Fester (up a bit) was referring to airborne
capabilities once it happens to drift off the road in glide mode ..
cheers ;-)
Id say at a pinch, one would have to blow 1000 in the bag to get it into glide mode
8:40 pm, Mon 14 Feb
the 30th is fine but i can't make it at 2 that is my egg
feeding time, I should be all good for 3pm, that is of course you still
have the couch and not 1 million dollars, baahaahaa
I choose to take this literally
8:37 pm, Mon 14 Feb
I am not interested in the auction, although, yes it is
very cool! I am just gutted that you live in Darfield.....I think you'd
be an awesome person to get on the plonk with and have some great
laughs!!!! Ah well if you're ever in Dunners... lol good luck with the
auction have had some great laughs due to it.. and that, sir, is a
gift!!!
haha thankyou, Unfortunately I never exit a 50km radius of Darfield. As that would pollute my fragile mind
6:26 pm, Tue 15 Feb
Im constipated from downing 7 crates of db in the

Im afraid that would only serve to pucker up your

Is this couch watertight - what is the maximum depth it
can reach underwater, I would like to go away at Easter fishing at
Kaikoura. I have some buoys and paddles, amphibious armchair!
It has a multi skinned hull which allows it to dive to a
depth of around 250 metres which would be ideal for whale watching

Hi :) Any chance I can come take it for a test run
round Darfield?? Perhaps collect my son from the high school?? Cheers
Yes, but you will have to sign confidentiality papers,
to protect the constructors identity, and rendezvous with the couch at a
clandestine location, whilst blindfolded

This is a fine example of couch craftsmanship, clearly
you are a true artisan! Would you consider a trade for a three foot
length of two inch PVC piping, two tan and white gerbils and a pair of
3D glasses with the red lens missing? (an unwanted gift!!). If not i
have a magicians wand and hat (only used twice), including the original
white rabbit (used three times) that i am prepared to offer along with
the piping etc to sweeten the deal. Kind regards, THE BRYTHON :)
do you have a whitworth dimension for the PVC piping?
what shade of tan are the gerbals? when was the rabbit last
reconditioned?

WOW- [ sshhhh] hey , just had a cool idea ; when you've
flicked this you could get that other couch ; you know, the one at the
Empire - buy an old shovelhead harley, do the conversion, yeah ; then
rig a snowplough blade onto the footrest ---- mate ;then a snowchain on
that big fatty on the back - commercial vehicle!!!![and] I bet those
guys from Orange County NY will be taking your que before too long mate ;
it's a sitter ------- you're a winner %
hahahahaha these will be considered for the next project!!!
6:04 pm, Thu 17 Feb
i forgot to say ; you could call the shovel-head conversion " Darf-grader"----????
HAHAHA that is a plan!

similar to pictionary? hmmm depends on how you are doing it i guess.
witha leaded pencil?

i've heard its so fast it forces the hair follicles in
ones scalp to retreat to ones backside. can you confirm this?
No i cannot confirm this, however there have been several known cases of Pink Eye

Hi , I asked the question about the frontside grind...
further to that question, do you think that if it was slightly
redesigned with the front wheels slightly further foward, stability
could be improved?
A triple face grind does not sound like a succesful end to a journey on
any couch!
stability is at its peak where the wheels sit now. If
they are shifted any further forward, a cataclysm is caused which
switches the earths magnetic poles and you really really dont want that
to happen. I mean that just isnt a situation you want to be in. Imagine
the hate you would face down at the workingmens club for one. Youd be
shunned from the darts team at the very least

What use is that pathetic piece of trellis in the
background of the picture, unless you were to grow beans or passionfruit
on it , it looks to be utterly useless...
Are you being mallace because youre jealous of my trellis?

you are not gonna believe this,...but some kid with a
robot thats looks like my girlfriends vibrating egg, just destroyed my
deathstar.
luckily i've swapped my tom jonescollection for another one to some
chechnyans on ebay, but, theres this exhaust port on a service trench
that needs blocking up. do you think your couch would block the port,
which is no bigger than a womprat, if an islamist stormtrooper drove it
in at its terminal velocity of 50kph?
is that enough force?
WHY would you squander a collection like that!!! ive
created many knuckle children to that unmistakeable soundtrack. I would
think, you would need a rather plump male causcasian stormtrooper in mid
to late 20s, with experience in smash and grabs, and perhaps ram raids
with XD falcons, in order to shim up the 40 thou. clearance between the
taper on the exhaust port, and the lower adjustable radius rod of the
couch

i have started the design concept of a rotary hoe
powered coffee table. would u advise it necessary for a 3 to 4 day
bender to perhaps bring my idea to fruitition?
Around 3 to 4 days worth would be an excellent source of
inspiration. Normally 1 litre of rum to 1 can of coke per afternoon is
best
8:03 pm, Tue 15 Feb
could you mount a poof on it & post some pictures?
im not sure if my old grey one would go with brown? i think theres a
shop on ponsonby rd that can help colour match poofs.
I couldnt bring myself to do that im sorry as
logistically, it would be a huge hassle for me to find a quantity of
dettol large enough, to bathe the vehicle in afterward as it would be a
shame to cover the couch with cooties. Im sure if you bought the couch,
and then took it to Family bar, youd be able to find a nice match. i
think the upholstery colour is "mince" anyhow so it shouldnt be an
issue.

can you modify my toilet for me pls?
certainly, what would you like modified? i could fit a "brown trout" to the top tank?

I used to go visit the Darfield Pub from the other side
of the Waimak ( near the water race intake ) 30 years ago but didnt
observe any children that might end up with a mind as brillant as yours
my friend. Have you ever thought of a career in the media. A
replacement for Paul Henry I think. The other stations would be in big
trouble !!!
thanks mate, hahaha well its the Darfield Pub that keeps
me sane (by my standards). ive got a face for radio so the media is
still a possibility i guess!

i went to the drive thru at the andersons bay maccas
last nite after a very pleasant evening at the opera with australian
prime minister julia gillard. man,....if there was one ranga i'd like to
tap its her. anyhoo...i was given a medium fries when i distinctly
remember asking for a large.
will this baby fit down a drive thru and how much potasium nitrate and
kero could i stash under under the squabs if i removed all the loose
change,lost keys and remotes?
regards
o b laden
Ohhh i can totally understand! That Ron Mcdonalds been
screwing us over for years and gotten away with it. Remember Timothy
McVeigh? Went to maccas for breakfast, it was 1031am and they wouldnt
serve him. He did the same thing, but got the wrong building. We should
get a beer and a feed of camel sometime. Yours sincerely N.S Khrushchev

glenmorales..... your question makes no sense at all.
you are insulting this mans intelligence by even viewing his auction. i
suggest you learn your abc's correctly before trying to join in on witty
conversations like this 1.
the fact that you can identify with the level of
pedigree in this parchment, warms the cockles of my heart. I believe the
question this member was asking, albeit in not so many words, was
whether or not the couch would ionise at this altitude due to the levels
of ultra violet radiation, which is a valid question. The answer to
that, is that the couch will travel the 505km distance through the
stratosphere at such velocity, that ionization will not be an issue.

Just went round the freight companys here - its insanely
expensive to ship. Please withdraw my bid. Sad but should have
guessed this would be max cost to move.
you wont be getting a christmas card from me this year
6:30 pm, Thu 17 Feb
I must say Gaz you have really out done yourself. Having
previously been exposed to your amazing costume creations for dress up
partys, best life size Bill and Ben costumes ever... Really made me
re-live my childhood, I wouldn't expect anything less than this high
powered mean t.v remote stealing machine. Why not put your your gifts to
good use and start a business and have this as the company car. Good
publicity one would think?
Well, when you get to be a bitter twisted old fogey like
me, you have to think outside the square. That is a grand idea! The
next motorising project will certainly give our dedicated team some
publicity!. That, or a fair bit of hate from locals, and most likely
hospital time!

i salute your effort, sir - though I am saddened to hear
of the sacrifice of a Hiwatt DR 103 amidst the creative maelstrom.
surely the marshall TSL100 of your neighborhood shredder could have been
sacrificed with a slight of midnight skullduggery?
I too was saddenend by the sacrifice. Ahhh yes that was
heavily thought out, but when i heard him shredding Tiny Dancer, it was
clearly audible, that there were only 6L6 tubes in the blighter, and
after speaking with many boutique corksniffers, including Eric Johnson,
it was decided that nothing else supplies the high end clarity, that
only a Dave Reeves wired Hiwatt can provide.

1. Sorry no Whitworth (i would NOT recommend "tapping"
that pipe). 2. A sort of Fallow meets Fawn(some brown staining present,
but i'm unsure how this occurred!) 3. Today after my initial
conditioning attempt failed, reconditioning using WEN Sweet Almond Mint
Conditioning Cleanser was successful. However afterward, the rabbit
smelled good enough to eat, so i now need to withdraw my offer due to
unforeseen (yet tasty) circumstances. Good luck with the sale of your
awesome/genius invention!!!
Im sorry but fallow/fawn simply doesnt sit well with me.
And thou art gracious to wish thy sale well!!. thanks ever so!

I would be interested to hire this for the inaugural
International Armchair Sportsman's Scrum Off for the opening ceremony of
2011 Rugby World Cup. Match 1: Irish Couch Potatoes vs English Sofa
Spuds, Match 2: Tongan TV Taros vs Widebottomed Wallabies Match 3: All
Black Couch Kumaras vs Springbok Sitkamer Aartappels, Match 4: Sumo
Futon Squashers vs Le Coq Chaise Pomme de terres. I looked on "More
stuff you may like..." but still need 7 couches and a motorised ottoman
for the ref. Can you help?
I know a fellow by the name of Phillip Kenneth Sebben,
who has some ottomans, that were given to him by the king of prussia,
after he saved the kings daughter from the cossacks, but he may be
reluctant to relinquish them as they make his office look quite
contemporary cosy
