The matte black on the 500 is just stunning. Looks so much like a stealth machine, albeit an angry one.

I'll be back over there next week, I'll try and get a picture or two.

If only.... I was taxing a truck the other day which was 2.5k for the year, I explained to the clerk that its used for personal use so I should be taking it on engine size. She was having none of it. Meanwhile the guy in the booth next to me was taxing a Jeep and the clerk wanted proof it was being used for business. He was scratching his head after hearing my conversation..

2 points and a fine arrived in the post today addressed to me..cue anger and panic....until I realised that it was my wife (the car is registered in my name). Phew! 96kmph in an 80 - bloody speed demon

MetzgerMeister wrote: »

4 points for speeding hasn't altered mine either!

I don't get the point(s).

Anyhow. After a long time in more than one garage (due to mechanic f*ck up), I have my beast back on the road. With certain safety additions.



Ok. ok. It's not safe for other road users, as I brake way much quicker than them lot

Time to bed them in on Mondello tomorrow anyhow.

Anyone require two Audi 16" 5 spoke alloys?

A kind women forced me off the road and I've made bits of the winter tyres they were wearing so the are now surplus to requirements

Same type as fitted to this:

Jesus lad you have no luck at all..

I think it's the car rather than the driver!

Question lads, anyone ever use Crystal Clean valeting?

I was forced into it today as we got a truck load of stones delivered and he dumped them at the side of the house so I could neither park the car there nor could I get around the back to wash it.

They did a fairly good job but they didn't let the wax dry properly before they buffed it and it's left very noticeable streaks all over the car.

On your own car????... I thought you done all your own work...

I worked for them about 15 or 16 years ago when they were starting out in Swords beside Gerry Larkin Nissan.

Think where they were is a combi of a Petrol station and an Advance Pit Stop

Picked up some good tips on car washing from them

I used them once in Carrolls Quay in Cork because I got a voucher. Sweet Jesus to say they made a balls of it would be an understatement. I had to wash the outside again and they put that bloody shiney dash finisher on it too despite me going to great lengths to tell them not to use anything on the dash.

I've used them a few times in Whitewater Shopping centre - decent enough job, although one of their workers cleaned all the change out of my ashtray one time. When I went back the "boss" guy asked him if he had done it, which he said he did, so he was fired on the spot. Fair enough I say.

I think any crowd like this are useless in fairness.. All you have is a few young lads that dont give a fcuk and hate the job.. I remember Anan1 saying he got some mobile crowd of a voucher scheme and they made a pigs ear of the car..

The lads here are in their 30's and are all into cars. One of them has a beautiful E39 525i.
