Nearly 7k miles on her now and have another 3 weeks to go. Rental company going to be hatin' tho....:D

Was a nice day here today and car had 5k miles of flies dirt and stuff on it so decided I'd get it washed...

I think it's a lovely looking shape, one of my favourite out of the rep mobile fleets.

Bought a cheaaap tax avensis daysul!
So far have bought a bootlid with spoiler attached that happened to be correct colour for €70, tinted the rear windows and fitted a leather centre armrest out of a t spirit.. Also want to fit a double din stereo and possibly upgrade to 17" alloys! Here she is next to the brothers version!

Toyotafanboi · 05-10-2015 10:19am

Proper Toyota household there, nice 86.

GvidoR · 05-10-2015 1:44pm

Would love to be in your shoes, 166man. NHL season starts in 3 days, you should catch a game or two.

166man · 05-10-2015 5:25pm

I'll check it out Gvidor! Been mainly watching college football these days!

I am also hugely cross this morning....

Had the car all clean etc yesterday and driving down to the port this morning,

So annoying! Not even one day!

colm_mcm · 05-10-2015 11:10pm

Bleak ould day in the wesht

Mister Jingles · 06-10-2015 12:31am

The Mondeos (or Fusion ) over in the states look much better then the boring ones over here. What is it the 1.5 ecoboost ?

colm_mcm · 06-10-2015 1:00am

are they not the same?
that's a 2.0 ecoboost AFAIK

Mister Jingles · 06-10-2015 1:57am

They are yea but the fusion gets the nicer looking alloys/bigger wheels which doesn't make the car look out of proportion. I'd assume but open to correction that it is better speced as well.

Oh and would I be right in saying that the 1.6 psa unit is unheard of over there ?

166man · 06-10-2015 2:17am

MJ - I'd definitely agree with you. Nicer wheels is really all the difference but the spec is much better, I think anyway.

This one is the 2.0T ecoboost. Excellently engine if thirstier than expected.

Haven't see a single diesel one over here so far. I will say that there are plenty of diesel BMW's here (relatively speaking). No 520d's but quite a few with the 35d engine.

gave a good wash to the Lexus over the weekend, but ran out of time to start on the jag. she needs a bit of a polish.

m-i-m-m- · 06-10-2015 11:35pm

Not mine, a co-workers 2jz 6 speed supra in work today, he has lots of plans for it, 600hp turbo kit on the way! Though ye might appreciate it.

Great to see the amber indicators.
Clear ones are so played out at this stage.

Looks familiar to me too from Waterford.

That and that wrapped Mondeo.

Well wear rizzee!

Foxhole Norman · 09-10-2015 10:01pm

Well wear with it, can't bate a 5! :cool:

What about a V12 7?

Well wear Rizzee, looks good!

rizzee · 10-10-2015 5:36am

Cheers! Originally grey, I have receipts for the wrap (all warrantied etc). Going to keep as is for now.

I bought it off a lad in Tallaght. His wife owned it the last 4 years, only 1 owner before her so maybe that was in Waterford where yous seen it? Edit-well it can't be actually, he got the wrap done for her in the last 2 years!

joujoujou · 11-10-2015 4:39pm

Good old friend decided to join my trips to work and back again for next couple of days.

rizzee · 11-10-2015 5:38pm

Gave it a quick hoover there, needs a wash outside but still doesn't look bad! Have to get a set of car mats (drivers side one is missing) and the reg plates are a bit faded so i'll probably get them changed soon too. Have new badges/emblems on the way, LED number plate bulbs and wind deflectors too.

A mate of mine is a upholsterer so he's going to give me a quote to get the seats done in leather, i'm happy with them anyway at the moment though, they're comfortable.

Was on the phone to previous owner, it was originally gun metal grey and he said there wasn't a mark on it. That's a boost anyway if I decide to de-wrap down the line. Overall very very happy with it in my 2 days so far... My pockets haven't been emptied yet
