    Does GTA IV count as being out cruising?

    Infrastructure forum just got littered with pictures of the new M7 and M8 motorways. So anyone planing on driving Dublin to Cork after the 28th, will have motorway the whole way (mostly) :D

    Went to a BBQ last night and today in Carrick, burnt to a crisp! Great drive home, surprisingly few people on the roads, until I got stuck behind 20 cyclists heading into Dundalk. Its 27*C up here, bliss!

    Have to drive back up to Dublin from Limerick in a bit, its going to be torture, have the Aircon out of the Teg and the engine gets so hot even when its on cold warm air comes through the vents, if i have the windows down on the motorway ill be deaf!

    The guards will be out too as none of them will want to be in, so that means everyone will be driving like a snail. :(

    On the plus side, Vtec and a day like today on the country roads to birdhill will be savage

    Done an oil change in the parent's Mazda and gave a good valet to my own car.

    Happy days. :)

    Matt, you should buy a car that doesn't need to be fixed as much (hint hint!). That way you get to drive it more!

    No but the Priest's Leap starts at the bottom of that road you are talking about which is through the Borlin valley., The Priests leap starts at Coomhola and goes up over the Mountains and down to Bonane, at the summit it is 471 metres high according to the satnav!

    According to legend a priest was being pursued by British soldiers intent on killing him and when at the top he instructed his horse to take a fantastic magical leap and he whipped the ground twice and the horse leapt to somewhere down in Bantry town square.

    I drove over Sally's Gap this evening, just took it hangy all the way from Tallaght to Bray, this weather makes me just want to cruise rather than rip the roads up.

    Got back home at around 10 and didn't want to stop driving so took a spin out to the all night Topaz at Kill, they have a sit down area and I wanted a blast but as soon as I turned onto the N7 at Citywest there was a BMW pulled over by an unmarked Garda Car so I ended up being a good boy :)

    On the way back in there was another car pulled over by a different unmarked car, I'd say thee was some amount of Speeding tickets handed out today

    I drove from Roundstone, Galway to Bray today - nice mix of motorway cruising and some twisty roads (yes, they still can be fun in an automatic).

    My way is more educational, thats why German car drivers are so smart. :P:cool:

    For instance, today I fixed a glaring design flaw in the BMW V12 design:

    Its not meant to be unscrewing it self like that!
