Sitting here in work listening to this:

I'm happy

Have to admit, I've really gone off that kind of thing in recent times. It's just too mish-mashed sounding. Nearly as if it was a mash-up already, but with only one song. :P

I'm loving this Porter Robinson track though, it's actually being really pushed mainstream wise which is good for his exposure too, but also brings with it the tween crowd and the T4 on the beach performances.

MM really surprised you never heard of the Goodyear F1's..!
Maybe too much time spent washing the motor

I've had them on the ST and found them great.
Have hankook ventus V12 Evos on it now and imo they are just as good. And a bit cheaper...

I've heard of them alright.

Any time I get tyres, I ask for good ones in a certain price range. Always around the price of those but I've never been given them before. On the RX8 I had Maxxis and the MPS has Kumho. I was happy with both

Never ask for good within a certain range. Do some research ya bum! :P

I went into the Models forum, thinking it was Motors...I thought all you guys had gone crazy!!

FYI, €150 each included fitting / balancing, and was from a tyre place so there was no waiting for delivery etc...

Would be closer to €250 though if you need 255s for the rear

My NCT is out today, have it booked in for Saturday week, dropping it out to the mechanic this evening to sort Power Steering / front suspension tramlining, id say it needs a few dozen bushings etc...

Cant wait to see what they make of my exhaust. heres the relevant page from the NCT manual

Silencer - missing or malfunctioning

oops :pac:

I know what my next set of tyres are going to be

SH - to be honest, good and all as Kumhos are, if I had known about these Goodyears at the time, I would have gone with them instead.

Had them on pinky a couple of weeks tomorrow now MM,
They grip like nothin' ive had before, makes no difference if its wet or dry like...
Nice to have that confidence in them
Although the vred's i had before come very very close

Although it does take a certain level of confidence and self assuredness to drive a pink car. :P

BUBBLE WRAP

Pink car? I think this would be cool.

Yes, and you'll be beeped!

Go to a cashier, if the tag works the cashier won't charge you and you'll know for future

Just got one of the eflow tags for the car.

Going up the M1 tomorrow I'd obviously like to use it. But if it isn't yet activated what happens? I know I go into a separate lane, but if my tag is activated yet do I get stuck in that lane and have to call for assistance etc or what's the craic?

How'd the NCT go?

it takes up to 4 days to get national tall updated with tag information, on m50 you may use straight away. ... at least guy said that, when i got tag month ago.

Yeh if its an eflow one the M50 works straight away but others wont work until 4 days after the issue date.

You can just exit via the exit lane and go to a cashier.
