Ah jaysus LM, thanks for reminding me! I have yet to fork out the money for 4 points I got recently along with 200 for my squash membership and I have a car loan repayment this month too. Expensive month

Lesson learned though, gatso vans are able to catch you when you are going in the opposite direction. I was in a 50 zone and was doing 56 the first time and 60 the second time on a stretch that not long ago was 100.

Wait until you grow up and find out what an expensive month really means. Enjoy it while you can dude.

I didn't mean you I meant 'one'.

I was the exact same, living at home, good salary, nice car, etc. Spent my money on nice clothes, socialising, holidays, etc. I still do ok but there's a lot less cash lying around now - hence why the 7er is currently 'resting'.

And you can come back to me when you pay rent, mortgage, fly to work, have an ex-wife and 3 children.

Then, maybe I'll listen;)

Well now that's your own fault for getting married! Har Har!

Soul destroying all the same. Pay rent. Pay the shortfall on my rental property which my father insists with make me money someday. Bills, health insurance always something.

I can't remember what its like to go into b shop and spend money without thinking. Thought is involved in every penny that leaves my wallet. I ain't bought new clothes in 4 months. Not even so much as a sock.

But i have a lot more than some people so i am grateful.

It:Ds easier to make do without something when you have something nice to look forward too.

Searching for the yellow reduced stickers in Tesco means more money for my petrol fund

Yeah, that's the only reason I'm doing it. Being in Silverstone at the weekend has given me the kick up the hole I needed to get the car sorted out. My deadline is for a track day over the Christmas break.

I don't usually stop myself from buying something if I want it, but I'm cutting down in everything now to get my racing fund together...

Nobody's being an ass or a dick, just at different stages of life and different opinions on what a tough month is. My twenties were some of the best years of my life, young, free, plenty of money (which I squandered), out 3/4 nights a week, clubbing, fast cars, fast women, etc. I lived life to the full but I wouldn't swap it for what I have now even though I don't have the spare dollars (or the want) to do what I did in my twenties.

Was looking at them on carzone a few months back, savage bus, was thinkning the same about the price. They look great in the flesh, a rare site in Cork, you'd see a few in Dublin and they have such presence. Tempting at the price alright but I know what you mean about beans and water diet.

I wouldn't buy a spark plug of them.

coolisin

Wouldn't buy a spark plug off that garage? Or off that car!!
Is it like the rest of the pop up shops in ballymount?

I'd say those cars would kick you in the wallet very fast!

I was off today so I tackled the passat, it was filthy inside and badly wanted a clean. I removed the seats and took them indoors to clean them. I done a great job in fairness so its now time for a beer..

@baruna did Roverjames get that admin job???
