    I'll advertise it at €2.2 once she's tested but unfortunately nobody wants them here with €1683 / annum tax. Same car would fetch twice that in the UK.

    730 is it? I'm just sounding it out with the gf here...

    735 dude.

    I've got one piece of advice for you otto - NEVER 'sound out' your car choices with the woman, especially if you're not even married. I love my wife, she's sound out and gives me no hasslehoff but there's one line she knows not to cross. ;)

    Did I? Must have been around the time I had some 'monetary issues', and decided to get a nice economic diesel instead!

    And yeah, let me know when youre ready to sell, I'd love to have a look at least!

    What the hell is this crap? http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3717546

    Is it really that hard to hold a camera straight?

    And this 'CAR HAS A VERY SLIGHT KNOCK IN THE ENGINE WHEN IT WARMS UP HENCE PRICE' Price; €2350!

    Who in their right mind would pay €2350 for this dirtbox when the engine is knocking? And the seller sounds like an asshole

    Ya, I think its a good idea surely. Atleast youl have an idea of what you would pay. Instead of getting them mods and see your insurence sky rocket. :)

    Also, report back here with you findings or a PM if required. Because im a noisy parker. :p /JOKE.

    That's the whole point of the phone call, for a breakdown so i can see whats what.

    All those mods would proably bring the car to just under 300bhp, they are pretty much the mods the cars standard layout can take w/o changing brakes/clutch/turbo etc
