    Hmmm just worked out I'll spend about 160 on fuel next week

    Then I worked out expenses:)

    For a period there of 10 weeks I was in every county in Ireland at least three times....:D

    Was over 10000 miles during that time in my 156 and I was trying to keep up with my work colleague in his Mazda diesel.... Expenses certainly racked up...!


    :v Bless Alfa reliability...

    We've had a sticker before alright. If we could guarantee interest we might convince them to do another run.

    They will not do another run of stickers as they didn't sell too many and the excess was sold to people on after hours iirc.

    The stickers were large and ugly, that's why they didn't sell well. I wouldn't put one on my car.

    Well, you see... I have no interest in football. Hockey is where it's at. ;)

    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.
