Yes and i spent 35 euro on a motor check too. Ragin, definitely going to own one when I find the right one, DSG box is amazing

What was wrong with it?

Without going into too much detail, it was just a pretty rough example in my opinion, couple of dents, paint was in bad condition, paint in the sill flaking off pretty badly, quarter panel had been resprayed and there was over spray, there was a weird noise when turning the steering wheel, and the interior was habby, alot of wear on the steering wheel, shifter and paddles for a car with 110km.my car has 116 k MILES and my leather steering wheel is near perfect....

Most i saw were muck and alot with cracked leather too

I was gonna spend €65 on 3x checks this evening but i broke a tooth today and im in a foul mood so will do it tomorrow

Firstly bad luck with the tooth man, that sucks...
And I have a feeling it's goin to hard find one that's not thrashed for decent money

Trust me, you wouldn't regret stretching if you did

I have a guy ringing me tomorrow to say whether or not he's interested for sure.

No bother, been there myself a few years ago along with alcohol addiction and things seem hopeless at times, but take it from me BW, things will get better your welcome to pm me anytime if you like

Fair play BW, take it easy for the week.

Came out of the pub earlier on, group of lads were standing beside me car, one of them sitting on the front wing, The cheek of some people, asked him would he mind not sitting on my car and he jumped up all apologies in fairness.

Got it home and is destroyed in handprints and arsecheek smudges. :mad:

Get well soon. Look after yourself.

Hope the week does you well, BW.
I had a rough patch a few years ago, ended up in therapy and all.
Admitting there's something that needs to be delt with is a huge step.
You'll feel better soon.

Ah no lad, thats a pity to hear that

You aren't alone in this, there are many services to help you through it. Talk to people about it.

Here is a thread on Depression

Here is a thread on what I had to go through earlier this year

Don't be afraid to talk about it, I learned that talking about these things helps you immensely

Get well soon and wishing a speedy recovery

BUBBLE WRAP

Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate it.

@CianRyan and gollywog - glad ye got through it lads fair play.

and Sorry to the mods for this off topic-ness.

two good bits of advice to begin with there! hope all is well BW (even though you porbably wont see this message now)

been there, done that with depression, not nice.

also, would there be any scrap value in a set of 4 14" alloy wheels?

i see a set for sale that i want to buy for the tyres and it woud sweeten the deal if i could sell them on again and get a couple of euro back in scrap :pac: they are too tasteless to ever re-sell.

you'd be surprised the sh!te some people would find to be tasteful, stick em on donedeal for 80 quid.

Or, im not sure but, I got either 10 or 15e a wheel off the scrap man a while back, they were 16s though, and all buckled to shite so couldnt sell them

Depends what's in them... My advice is not to bother down here, they give feck all for scrap. Head oop north for far better prices...

I had a set of Corolla rims, nice 5 spokers. Had them advertised for €40 for the set. I had the 2 year and no one rang or bought. Recently gave up and traded them for bits for the 406...
