    I am not a smoker myself, in fact I had cigarette in my mouth only twice, both times there was "something" in it... It did feck all to me so I never tried both of them anymore... Waste of money.
    Saying this I don't let to smoke anyone in my car. Even misses gets a very rare chance to have a smoke in my car. I had a pleasure to be cleaning mx5 for misses and amount of ash made me go Nerdrage!!!

    I never smoke in my car so that helps! Never smoked in the house either or my room so that'll be a help :)

    I am off the smokes (again!) 2 weeks and 3 days :)

    Well done Fiona, im gonna be giving them up again soon.

    Last time i just decided one day 5-6 years ago to quit and was off them almost 3 years, as heavy exercise as you can stomach really speeds up the clearing out of your lungs and kills the worst of the craving that hangs about for weeks afterwards.

    Might try one of those electronic ciggy things for abit this time, until i feel silly holding it :p

    Drove to Kerry yesterday for the first time in a while. 4 hours 30 minutes is all it take these days. Have to say though, 3rd and 4th gear in the 159 are the business. So goddamn punchy...:D

    Where in Kerry?

    Drove down from Dublin to Inch (Dingle peninsula) in 3 hours 30 minutes last summer and that was with a 30 minute delay in Adare. Loaded car with 5 people though. Sticking to speed limits except on the motorway :)

    Did Dundalk (hey) to Naas at about 5am. Cats and Dogs the whole way. Grand auld day now though.

    I really appreciate my tyres at times like this. It justifies me not skimping with Chinese muck. :)

    The main band of rain has moved off into the Irish sea. There still is a risk of showers and some will be heavy and thundery. There may be some surface water remaining in low lying area's though. Keep an eye on AA roadwatch before travelling. http://www.aaireland.ie/aa/aa-roadwatch.aspx#

    A band of heavy rain, with embedded thunderstorm activity and hail, will continue to move northwards this morning producing further flooding.
    Drier weather will follow with some sunny spells developing but also scattered thundery showers.
    Warm and humid with fog patches and temperatures today ranging 16 to 22 degrees.
    Moderate locally fresh winds, easterly veering southerly.

    The car is running like a dream! :D
    Found some rot on the exhaust pipping with some dodgy looking seals but everything seems to be doing it's job with no blows. :)
    I'll need break pads soon, proably after NCT but that's on the list. Other than that, absolutely perfect bangernomics! :)
    Had a good look at some of my mechanic's classic's too. One of his Daimlers has been in movies, don't ask me which ones though.
    No pics unfortunately. :/

    Oh and the sun is splitting the rocks in Tallaght. :D
