    No they don't... The old girl turns 40 this years & I reckon she's looking better with age

    The N.C.T test. You know you the yellow and green bit of paper with a date on it. The make and model of the car?

    I reckon the exhaust cut outs are the way to go, like Keith's & Liam's... I was going to get a set myself but I noticed on Keith's that they altered the sound his Camaro has on idle now & I love the sound of mine on idle too much to mess with it... Of all the muscle cars I've owned this one has the best note by a mile

    No beating the flowmasters in fairness! :)

    No, you can't. Approx €2800 per year for me, for vehicles that did a total of 4k - 6k per annum just sucks the good out of it, and I've decided that Enough is Enough. Or, to be more correct, Too Much is Too Much !! :mad:

    This, OTOH, cost €80/yr. No contest.

    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”

    No way I could contemplate having a classic if I had to pay regular tax, especially with having the 7er.

    Try Travers in Arklow either (040232204), I couldn't get a quote anywhere last year & they quoted me 727 with Aviva who wouldn't even qoute me when I called directly!

    Not having much look myself on quotes today sick of hearing sorry we don't insure imports/integras :mad:
    Waiting on callback from First Ireland at the mo. Travers quoted me 711 which isn't bad I suppose.
    Allianz were good but won't offer open insurance unless you're over 30 :rolleyes:

    Nope, no luck.Travers were €300 more than my cheapest quote (through Aviva again)

    Bungs in the exhausts? What are ya? A pansy?
    I'd normally agree, but there car was undrivable at cruising speed without them....and this from someone who was previously driving a car with a straight through exhaust and no interior!:eek:

    I must admit that I put the bungs back in mine last week as I knew I was gonna be doing a good bit of motorway cruising, reluctant to take them back out now. :o
