    Sorry to hear that dude

    Considered doing the trackday on Monday, after the great success of Mondellos winter days which were €100 for the day they have gone back to charging extortionate rates. €185 plus €50 for an extra driver. Take into account €100 for fuel and that makes it an expensive day. I've a lean month anyway and have to pay the deposit on the little workshop we've got so I'll be giving it a miss. Might just go Karting lol

    Spotted this yesterday in Kings Inns Street and it made me smile. I've never actually seen a clamp that didn't fit. I was left thinking as to what the owner would do as it seemed to be held on with a simple lock.
    He could let the air out of the tyre and that chain would slip back anti-clockways and he's good to go! I think I can see the valve exposed!
    There was some horrible Onyx-destroyed Range Rover at the hospital in Limerick parked out the front where they regularly clamp for a whole weekend last year, couldn't clamp it due to the tacky looking rims that must have been 25" at least. Sticker on it saying not to park there. Stupid knacker owner probably thought he was a hero for not being able to be clamped. I'd have smashed the side windows and wrapped a chain around the B-Pillar and towed it away sideways with a Scania.

    Barrys tea I hope? It's the only way to go...

    On a motoring related I think it's finally time to replace the wiper blades on the 156...

    Barrys classic blend. The black box one, its hard to beat. I do really like Punjana gold blend thats 2.49 for 80 bags in tescos though.

    While I'm in Tescos I might look for a wiper blade. I need a larger one as the current one does not give enough reach for a tall bloke to see out the back :D

    Other news. My alternator has fixed itself. A stable 14.74V since yesterday. And thats a fair amount of driving in between. Replacement belt must have helped.

    I`ll pass that feedback on -I agree with you btw

    It'll fall on deaf ears I reckon. Ask about the transponder that was returned last year, a box inside a box, inside a box, there was about 7 boxes in total lol

    Mine are also in need of replacement on my 156. I`m also toying with the idea of replacing the entire interior with leather seats.

    Really want to do that in mine too.. Leather is just so much better than the fabric seats. I'll look into it over the summer when I'm working again..

    I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure that car was there when I was looking for mine at the start of February.

    Yea is only GTI i can find with leather and DSG from any sort of dealer inside my budget, if i was willing to settle on manual is alot more options though but i will test drive both before buying i guess.

    Ah, key of the door, man. But sure it could be worse. For my 19th b-day, I went to mass. That was really it.


    Well sometimes they park it on the left side and other days they park it on the right side of the road. Its only when your at the top of the hill, that you see it.

    feckin T-bars....again :mad: - a nice water feature in the car at the moment with the weather!

    I changed both glass panels so need to apply the same fixes as I did on the old ones, which worked very well.

    ...not detailing weather but at least my car has "the wet look" :P

    Small doses?? I spent all day Saturday and Sunday at it after breakfast and hadn't a thing to eat until 8 each night :eek:

    On another note, anyone have any tips on removing double sided tape? My rear number plate + holder are held on with this stuff and I want to take it off without breaking either part when I correct that part.
