    Lads,

    There was someone on this forum a while ago, that had pulled a big old Beemer out of the weeds- it looked beyond it, but he was keen to do it up. Can't find the thread now, but I saw this one donedeal, and thought of him:


    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/vintagecars/1596277

    Might be a useful parts car - if they're the same model...

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I was just hoping someone would remember the thread, maybe the username of the guy who was doing up the old Beemer, and let him know about this one...

    I know if I was taking on a massive project, and a great donor car became available, I'd appreciate being made aware of it...

    I'm sure no one means to disrespect fellow enthusiasts. I certainly don't, but coming from my own perspective, the amount of cars coming in, and flying about on yellow plates until their owners get bored/realise the hidden costs/want to turn a buck and feck the excise man, is ludicrous.

    I don't want to say too much, but we are fortune to have the latitude we have, and should respect it.

    And if you're bringing a yoke in, clear it!

    Other opinions welcome as always :)

    Yawn.

    Did you ever think that there might be a legitimate reason for the car still being on yellow plates?

    Give the bloke the benefit of the doubt.
