    Just reserved 5L halfords 5w30. €27 including 10% voucher. Might have held off if castrol edge was gonna be reduced but tbh the Halfords stuff is fine in my experience.

    What do people make of Freemax Discs/Pads? The brother can get both sets of pads for €30 and he's coming back with prices for the discs.

    Or I could go for better stuff like Bosch discs and green/red stuff pads for actual braking :pac:

    None of us indeed.

    I found out I have a week off work in three weeks time, so promptly booked tickets to bring my 156 back to its homeland.

    Excited isn't even the word...:cool:

    Anyone know how I go about claiming motor tax back? Went in with the declaration for off the road and the woman behind the dest looked completely confused and lost.

    Also any recommendations for tyres? Loved the verdestein ultrac vorti tyres but unfortunately they don't come I'm the size I need 235/45 r17.

    A car that in 2013 was destined realistically for the scrapheap will now make the 2500km journey from Dublin to Milan/Turin and back.

    As a car enthusiast, it doesn't matter if it's a Toyota or an Alfa or a BM, that's pretty fvcking cool in my books...

    Can't see him being suspended long, the show pretty much revolves around him.
