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.

I avoided the tin this year bar a few with my bottle of wine on Sunday. Dying sick now so I can't bare the thought of sweets.0 -

Dad has the type 2, controlled by tablets, he doesn't eat any sugary stuff, he can still have his few pints and has check ups every year so fingers crossed his won't get too bad, he plays golf a few times a week and does a good bit of walking.
A lad I went to primary school with had the type 1 diabetes from birth iirc, he used have to inject himself and whatnot, another lad I went to school with that I bumped into a few months back was telling me how the other guy is more or less blind now

Quite a bizarre thing happened to me today.
To start with though, about 2-3 weeks ago I was sitting at the big Xerox/Crowne Plaza junction in Dundalk for 2-3 minutes (long red lights) when this little fella landed on my boot and proceeded to walk around it, pecking at the paint.
I could hear him then pecking around on the roof and then landed on the bonnet and continued the same thing. Lots of smiles from the people behind me/beside me. Jumped the car forward a bit, waved my hand out the window etc, just looked like a tit and the bird didn't give a sh1te! Anyways, pulled off and saw him fly away.
Lo and behold, was at the same junction today. What little bastard lands on the car and starts doing the exact same thing, 3 weeks later?
Once again, much laughter from the people in the car behind me. My car must look like a giant peanut to the wee fecker! 0 -

Most prolific purchaser (could be me, think I've gone through 5 this year so far)
Best purchase (dunno, none of mine anyway, perhaps Matt Simmis' S8?)
Best banger (My Lexus )
A ha! In this year alone I got... 7 motors to add to the fleet :pac:
Would my upside down Fiesta class as best banger? :P0 -

I've seen all your posts. I thought you were a mechanic with all them yokes.
They all for personal use?
7 must be a winner then
Nah, I'm just someone with a strange hobby: tinkering about with many different cars in my spare time :pac:
Some are for parts (merc 500se, blue fiesta)
Others were for strange purposes (the vectra was for jumping stuff/ stores and corsa was a garden warrior :P vectra was from barura )
The polo and green fiesta were also from barura
The 166 is a big toy to add to the collection
Alas, I need to cut down on all these cars... Space is at a premium here and trying to look after all these cars is a miniature fortune 0 -

W126? Show please. Lovem. Want a 500 coupe. Should be able to gt a very early one as a proper classic in 2012.
As you say though, time, space and also money are at a premium....... but its a W126

However all is not rosy wit the car...
So whats behind the door?
Smaller mill... But what an engine to look at :cool:
Its getting there though
Some of my dads toys, not mine I'm afraid (even the blue Bravo :pac:)0 -

My ladyfriend's uncle has a quarry where there are a good few of those cars (W126 saloons and coupés) same as here, some for bits, the rest are a private collection
The 280 was a barn car, we got it just in time before the rust began to take its grip. The 500 wasn't so lucky!
There may be only 3 in the house but we used to have over 20 cars in the garden, beside the kitchen, even parts in the house... We cut down since, just had to! The neighbours don't like the big cars very much, badge snobbery and envy :pac:
When your getting one, look under the car and the chassis legs, thats where they rust the most. These cars also eat fuel pumps (the 280 has gone through 4) so its best to get a new one shortly after you buy the car and have it as a spare. Seized calipers, wonkey fuseboxes (continental fuses) and electric madness are expected from a car thats been lying up. Bits for these cars are quite reasonable mind you surprisingly, bits are way cheaper and more available than my Alfa :eek:
Heres 2 more pics for you comparing it to one of my toys :cool:
