    i dont know what to make of this, but i suppose i'm a bit weary of how such a toolkit is so readily available.

    You can buy a crowbar very easily that will give you access to lots of cars. You can also get a set of wire clippers that you can use to hot wire older jap cars, such as that MX5 last week on here. You can also just "sniff" RF codes from car keys as an owner is accessing their car with some simple electronics.

    Plenty of ways to rob something, to be honest. Hell, you could just steal a car while someone naive enough leaves the keys inside their car while getting petrol.

    Agreed, despite the quality, that's an ugly car. :/

    Sorry VM but I'm going to have to agree with astra-boy here. Even though it's solidly built, it is mank!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,309 ✭✭✭VolvoMan

    I think you're missing the point; it is an 'R' (250bhp, all-wheel-drive and capable of 155mph).

    If the wheels weren't painted black and if it was in a more Irish colour (silver, grey etc.) then you'd probably react differently.

    It'd still look like a shoebox no matter what colour it is.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    That car has gone down a couple of thousand in the last month or two (and it's still way over-priced, imo) Lovely cars, though, I'm going looking for one in the new year, hopefully.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,238 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    Think i prefer the pre facelift version though

    Yeah, I was thinking it's pretty expensive but wasn't sure what it should be.
    Between €9K-€7K?

    Don't some areas require proof that you carry folk around for business reasons to allow you tax a crew cab commercially?

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭kupus


    Thats single figure mpg driving there folks with that Dodge 1500, I drove around in a few of these and the noise of these engines is music to my ears, Im off now to the shop to do euro-millions lottery, if I get win expect the for sale sign to read as sold.
    I'd take one of these over a Porsche, Maserati or anything similar any day.
