    I checked already. There's no oil on the gearbox anyway.

    Seriously, I recommend Galway Hooker, it's a very tasty beer if you're fan of something a good bit better than Heineken.

    Heineken is well overrated. Much better beers to be had around Europe especially in Germany. German Beer ftw!

    Did you not have a 318is, not a 318ci? That got run into the back of on the N7?

    You're right - good catch there.

    Anyway - do rental cars count in this thread? Currently in the states for work and driving a Chevy Cruize from Hertz. It's such a flipping tin can - so light. The automatic gear box sucks, but on the plus side it does have cruise control and is pretty comfortable inside

    Spruced her up for a club meet tomorrow but also the time has come nearly where a change is on the cards! Possibly my last pics of her anyway, will probably go up for sale next week.

    Thanks for the comments!

    Yeah I'm not looking forward to the possible wait to get a somewhat good price for it. The fact that its a 1.8 petrol is off putting for some people, not sure why really, its fairly handy on the juice.

    Between €1500 and €4000 seems to be the price range for them depending on condition and mileage (just went 94k), its colour is unusual so that helps and its much much tidier than when I bought it a year ago (also have a set of 17" wheels going with it) so would be happy with 3k (not sure if that'll be optimism though!)

    I'll have to wait and see! :p

    hmm.... Normally would, but I will get Chris in Sandyford to do it for me.

    I want to focus on the 8er this year and if I get bogged down with the E39, I'll get nothing done.

    Will definitely spend a good while on the paintwork etc though. It's in good shape but I want to have it Boraesque.

    Just collected this weekend after trading my 2006 Impreza in. 2008 Seat Leon FR, 200BHP, 6 speed DSG paddshift gearbox. Great fun to drive loving it so far.

    I'll take some proper pics when I get a chance to give her a wax and clean.

    And while we were at it, the sparewheel moved to the tailgate and the exhaust got changed.

    The 159 alloys are a bit different and bigger too, the spokes don't have the curve in them,

    It's the 1.8 twin spark, cost €3700 with 60k miles and a fairly patchy service history :pac: but so far its been worth every penny, it puts a smile on my face every time I sit in:D
