    Anyone use these air freshners I normally use magic tree one but I don't like things hanging from the mirror and find the clip type magic tree ones don't last as long.

    I wish I knew. :(

    There is some sort of a difference but not major. There is a type of chassis/wheel combo you can get for inline skates called "Marsblade" which is supposed to be very very close to the experience of skating on ice.

    Am I the only one who gets dizzy/headaches from those things? Whenever I buy a car with an air freshener with some scent in it, I throw them out asap.

    Never buy a car from a smoker. The smell was in the car for months afterwards. Never again will I buy a car from a smoker. Of all the cars I owned it was the only car with this problem.

    I skated on ice years ago in Ringsend in Dublin, found it pretty easy, but I once went to fake ice in Castlebar a few years ago with a ex girlfriend, Kids gliding around while I could not glide, I put it down to me weighing more and not real ice.

    Actually I think the smell of a smokers car is a lot worse than sitting beside a person smoking in a car. It's just a weird leftover smoke that smells disgusting.

    And then you have all the bits of ashes stuck in every tiny gap on the dash you can think of :(

    Castlebar, you say? Interesting.

    Was it synthetic ice? They sell that type of flooring for training purposes but they dull down the skate blades after a while, but it's supposed to be very similar to real ice while the skates are sharp.

    What made it worse was this previous owner(I'm guessing) never opened a window so the smoke got stuck in the fabric over the years.

    It wasn't ice at all it was plastic tiles, this was Christmas 6 years ago. I see in Galway the past few years they have real ice for a few weeks, but it is jammed, never went but I passed it a few times and seen it was jammed.

    I imagine it is quite plastic-ish. The synthetic ice looks like this

    Did Galway on ice last December, absolutely mental craic, takes a bit of getting used to, but I took to it like a duck to water. Didn't fall on my arse once. Wish I could say the same for some of the boys

    Nope. Wants a Mustang. In triple yellow. Like this one:

    Apparently they're not taking orders till April, and not expecting delivery till September which is a while to wait. But will be so worth it

    Just looking through the first few pages of this thread (time for a new one methinks)

    Stumbled across this post. Did this ever materialise OSI, or did things change?

    I forgot, then moved house... was reminded by other people talking several months later. Panic!!!! Thought I'd have to get a mortgage to pay them.

    Turns out the previous owner of my car had credit on that number plate still. Lucky!!

    @ OSI - try these dudes in the UK. Will save on shipping / customs. Tell them you're in a car club and they'll give you a discount.

    Very good to deal with.

    I was looking to get brake discs for the 335 from a US site a few years ago. The cost of shipping exceeded the cost of the discs. I think it would cost an absolute fortune if your dad were to import wheels from the US.
