    Have the Saab a couple of weeks now, and the tax expired an hour ago. How do I first tax it again? Its been a while.
    I have the log book. Do I just fill in the blank form (think its rf100b) like when you cant find your renewal and just proceed as normal?

    Made a decision.

    Next vehicle I shall own (along side the civic ofcourse) either a old Honda cr-v diesel automagic or a discovery 3 diesel !


    And yay for not getting caught speeding by the white van on the side of the road on Griffith avenue !

    Funny that it had no markings what so ever but was a speed camera van... Lady in front (a lot in front) was flashed. Rolled up next to her at the lights and she was nearly in tears- wasn't speeding by much at all

    Spotted this yesterday in Kings Inns Street and it made me smile. I've never actually seen a clamp that didn't fit. I was left thinking as to what the owner would do as it seemed to be held on with a simple lock.

    WEDNESDAY ... Showers and possibly one or two thunderstorms, moderate east winds and warmer in the north again, highs 13-17 C. Some persistent low cloud and fog in parts of south and east.

    THURSDAY ... Showers near the south coast, some sunshine further north, not quite as breezy but still east 10-25 mph, lows 7-10 C and highs 13-17 C.

    FRIDAY ... Turning colder in Ulster with showers, winds northeast 10-20 mph, otherwise variable cloud, some showers, staying rather mild in the south, highs 10-12 C north, 14-17 C south and central.

    WEEKEND OUTLOOK ... Including Monday, the weekend looks rather unpleasant with outbreaks of light rain at times, chilly temperatures, and a northeast wind that shouldn't be too strong or gusty but steady at 10-20 mph in most places. Highs each day in the 8-11 C range and lows 3-5 C but could be slight frost central counties with any clearing.

    Sorry to hear that dude

    Considered doing the trackday on Monday, after the great success of Mondellos winter days which were €100 for the day they have gone back to charging extortionate rates. €185 plus €50 for an extra driver. Take into account €100 for fuel and that makes it an expensive day. I've a lean month anyway and have to pay the deposit on the little workshop we've got so I'll be giving it a miss. Might just go Karting lol

    He could let the air out of the tyre and that chain would slip back anti-clockways and he's good to go! I think I can see the valve exposed!
    There was some horrible Onyx-destroyed Range Rover at the hospital in Limerick parked out the front where they regularly clamp for a whole weekend last year, couldn't clamp it due to the tacky looking rims that must have been 25" at least. Sticker on it saying not to park there. Stupid knacker owner probably thought he was a hero for not being able to be clamped. I'd have smashed the side windows and wrapped a chain around the B-Pillar and towed it away sideways with a Scania.

    Barrys tea I hope? It's the only way to go...

    On a motoring related I think it's finally time to replace the wiper blades on the 156...

    Barrys classic blend. The black box one, its hard to beat. I do really like Punjana gold blend thats 2.49 for 80 bags in tescos though.

    While I'm in Tescos I might look for a wiper blade. I need a larger one as the current one does not give enough reach for a tall bloke to see out the back :D

    Other news. My alternator has fixed itself. A stable 14.74V since yesterday. And thats a fair amount of driving in between. Replacement belt must have helped.

    I`ll pass that feedback on -I agree with you btw

    It'll fall on deaf ears I reckon. Ask about the transponder that was returned last year, a box inside a box, inside a box, there was about 7 boxes in total lol

    Mine are also in need of replacement on my 156. I`m also toying with the idea of replacing the entire interior with leather seats.

    Really want to do that in mine too.. Leather is just so much better than the fabric seats. I'll look into it over the summer when I'm working again..

    I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure that car was there when I was looking for mine at the start of February.

    Yea is only GTI i can find with leather and DSG from any sort of dealer inside my budget, if i was willing to settle on manual is alot more options though but i will test drive both before buying i guess.
