Not this morning when I was told it could not be viewed till the evening.

Sorry to hear about your mate, BW. Horrible thing to happen.

To anyone that's still interested, I've run out out episodes of Community to watch and so I've started editing the pics from the meet again.
Better late than never.
Linky!

Got the car fully serviced by Motor Confidence in Blanchardstown, they did the Eibach springs too.
Will be going back again, excellent guy and very thorough.

I'm having a hard time believing the car's previous service history now based on what I saw. The spark plugs were completely shagged and the brake fluid was like tar.
If I was to believe the log book, brake fluid was done just over a year ago and plugs 35K ago.

Very sorry to hear about your friend BW. I lost a close friend too not long ago, I know how it feels.

Does this seem too cheap?

Not really, imagine trying to get a decent trade in on one.

Jag is an exotic brand here and treated as an unknown compared to some of the less reliable "luxury cars" bmw/merc + the engine size/maybe emissions are high ?

voodoomellon, I think I was beside you in Dundalk a few mins ago, at the traffic lights near the cinema.... What stuck out for me was the really shiney wheels :cool:

Had a serious close call there earlier tonight,
Was travelling into gorey at around 75kmh and was pouring rain, when an opel zafira decides to pull out of a junction straight in front of me... I hadn't even got time to hit the brake. All I could do was swerve onto the other side of the road to avoid it. The road was fairly busy tonight aswell and i was lucky there wasn't an oncoming car or there would have been a serious smack... Still in shock, the opel must never have looked at all the stupid git.

Anyone know what's going on with the 2013 Honda Accord? There's loads of articles popping up online about it's 'uncertain future' in europe and there's talk over on the honda accord owners forum about Honda in the UK discouraging people from buying the accord and pushing for the CRV/civic instead, to protect the jobs in Swindon..conspiracy theory?

I loved the 7th and 8th accord and would consider the 9th gen if there was to be one. I know it's not a great selling car and it gets overlooked,but it's very underrated..

Right i am so funcking agry i could punch 2 kittes, 1 puppy and 5 hamsters!!! :mad::pac::mad::pac::mad::pac:


I booked on monday a full car valet with polishing for saturday 10:00. came over there and did not found your man there at all. petrol station manager said that he is off today. He could not get him on the phone, but he did found my booking in the book.
So after waiting 15 minutes he comes back and says: " i dont think he is coming, he told me that he has a sons ball game, whioch he told me about yesterday, sorry ".

i need car to be fully valeted for tomorrow ISDC family BBQ. that a ****ing scum****!

MetzgerMeister

^ It's those toilets all over again :eek:

What kind of a twat makes a booking like that and then doesn't honour it without even phoning you?!

carbon bonnet you say? €150 you say? tempted :pac: trying not to ruin my cars originality though.

CianRyan

A lot of Irish business people do it because their Saturdays are more important than your time and business.

Trying to book in my last two lessons with my driving instructor seems nearly impossible.

MetzgerMeister

Leave it original Andy, plenty of other things you can spend such money on

andyseadog

so difficult :P cant afford it in reality, i'd have to go without eating for a week or something

It would be grand if he would say he can't do it on Saturday and bring it in on Friday. But taking booking and leaving me on cock like this is just a scumbag thing to do.

coolisin

What an a**hole thing to do genuinely.
Is there another place you can go or anything?
