Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Oh where are my manners...
Hi, I'm Mal
I drive a rattly, squeaky blue van which is disappearing for the winter... :eek:
Every car I've insured under my own name, I've had to put together :rolleyes:
I have an unhealthy obsession with collecting cars, cut down this year to just 7 under my name
In my spare time I only work on my current collection, somehow...
I don't really do anything else, except college schtuff
I have a sweet tooth and as a result have lost a tooth, have 12 fillings and 2 root canals. Costly...
I hate most modern music...
I learned to drive at 12 and got my first car at 15
Er I think that's a decent insight into my tunnel vision lifestyle
You're worse than Marlow!
What else you got?0 -

Mind me asking why ?
All the cars? Runs in the family
Tempra are rare these days.
Theres actually 2 here
The ones that do survive are late model diesels. The 1.6 was a brilliant engine, but goodness it was desperate slow when catalysts were introduced... Yes both here are petrols :rolleyes:0 -

Im projectgtr ive two civics one is daily driven and sees the track as much as possible each year, the other is a project waiting on me to finish my Pajero Project before it can be moved into my man cave.
Looking at something fun to replace the other civic when its done, either something jap in the kei class (660cc turbo) or fun RWD like an MX-5
Ive met a few regulars, think i met a mod? Lightening??but i have to say i was worse for wear that night and probably waffled the ear off you that night 0 -

So anyway.
I got up early on Saturday morning and left Fundalk and headed to Donegal (Bundoran)
I was quite impressed with what I got out of the car. Went up through Monaghan and into Enniskillen and down to Bundoran in about 2 hours which is awesome. I hadn't brimmed the car but had her on 3 quarters full and when I pulled into the drive at home that night I was bang on half a tank with 281 Miles on the clock round trip.
Now 60 Litre tank / 4 = 15. What would my MPG have been ?
By the way, This was with two Kayaks in the boot, two people and some kayaking gear. I'm quite impressed with Betty.
ps - This is what we did with our Kayaks when we got there. This is me coming down Duff falls

Is that you in your avatar.
Hello dgt i am mal too...
I couldn't find a picture of arthur daley
You can call him......cantstandya;)
Haven't seen a Tempra in ages, I worked in a Fiat dealership in the arly 90's, I remember, some Tempra's had an electronic dash....really like that back then, looking back, it was probably a bit tacky.....
Well I get to see one every day however the last one I saw was a 1.9TD last year. They got very dated looking very quick when replaced by the Marea
Ah yes, way ahead of their time And the electrics in some cases 
The digtal dashes were called.... dgt 0 -

15L = 3.299 imp gallons which means 81mpg. What were you driving? My mpg is high teens/low 20s (I wish).Mugsmugs, I'd treat a fuel guage with a pinch of salt. I throw 20 quid into my car it says I've half a tank. It costs 70 quid to brim it. That's pretty inaccurate!
Yeah, I'd agree.
81MPG would be a bit too good.
2.0 D-4D Avensis.
I'll brim her next time. 0 -

What's up with the lack of snow? I was looking forward to it.. Stupid global warming!
I haven't got the Audi out of hibernation yet, that's why there is no snowchallengemaster wrote: »What's wrong with 3er coupé? eh?! EH!!!???!
There isn't enough space in a 3er coupe. Actually, scratch that, there isn't enough space in a 3-series full stop.Both the taxi to and from the Nightclub had airbag lights on, the first was a Superb that had the added 'drum kit' front suspension, second was a Primera
So, not worth stealing for doing a bit of airbagging then.You're worse than Marlow!
I heard that !!!I have an unhealthy obsession with collecting cars, cut down this year to just 7 under my name
Sounds familiar.Er 2 Fiat Bravos
Opel Vectra
VW Polo
2 Ford Fiestas (one Fiesta, the Polo and Vectra were from barura)
BMW 525i
Fiat Punto Sporting
Fiat Tempra
Ah feck, thats 9 cars.... Calculation fail!
Sure. But only 2 that are sort of reliable and one that might be fun to drive .. ah well, ok, the Tempra is also fun to drive, when it doesn't brake down or falls apart.
5-series: E34, E39, E60 ?
Oh ... I'm Martin, but that doesn't matter, as most people call me also Marlow in real life. And I'm addicted to fuel-fumes and engine noise.

Hi Martin
The Tempra never broke down. Ever. It's an ex-taxi. Ran 100k miles exclusively on LPG. 13 years here with us. Nothing fell off or broke. I crashed it and repaired it when I was 15. Still starts like the day we got it. Sure it's as slow as a wet week but it handles pretty well for what it is. The most reliable car we have ever had here at the house and believe me, between me and my dad we have had a lot of cars pass through our yard
The 2 Bravos never let me down either But then again, the work maintaining is a bit more than average... I built both from shells
The Sporting is a heap of crap :mad: and its yellow. Misery
The Vectra fried its clutch for no reason
Didn't drive the Polo enough to form an opinion yet. But its very very clean and well minded for its age
The Fester is rotten with rust. Often fails to start when it gets damp and I have to get one of the Fiats to jump start it. That really annoys people to see that
The BMW breaks my heart, I've had it 5 years since I was 16. Its my dream car wonkey electrics, rust, often doesn't start due to a damp dizzy... A parts bin of new parts went into it and it still refuses to play nicely! But I love it and would never part with it Its an E34, 1989. Auto. In Diamond Schwartz. And no german plates
So what have you got yourself? 0 -
He spun a Corsa? OK... Boring Focus it is then!!!
I didn't spin a Corsa! The back let go at full power on a very wet Bewley's Hotel roundabout at the end of the N32. It self-corrected and was fine. Nearly pissed my pants though.How old will you go?
Oldest about maybe '95 if it's really good.0 -

It's a RWD Corsa?
Well, liftoff oversteer, low grip and the back passenger wheel might've left the ground...
Edit: Just found my dream car:

Some Snap Oversteer from my MR2 from Friday just gone...;)
took abit to keep her from hitting the barrier...one of the Galway lads said it's a lethal corner and notorious for spinout especially bikes.
