Don't know about polish ones, but Lithuanian reg ones are imposible to sell on witouth going back to Lithuania.
In Ireland you just change log book and send it out, back in Lithuania - you go to registration office, take car of registration, then put new owner on registration after full check up of vin codes by office etc

Same here in Bulgaria. No sending off the logbook or anything easy.

Scumbags. I haven't got car keyed, but one slut tried accuse me of doing it, just because the pub she was working was under apartment I lived. She was my best friends ex. She even went to Garda!!!! Good thing One girl knew me and her boyfriend is Garda so she explained I could not have done such thing. I am geek/nerd, not a scumbag.

Today is yet another attempt at giving up for me!

I was going to give them up yesterday but I got annoyed about something so I went and bought some :mad:

When this box is finished I am really giving them up (again!) I was doing so well a while ago.

I've been looking at RX8's again for the past few weeks even though I have no intention of buying one. I'm only depressing myself at the thought of having one as a "weekend" car

Why would that be depressing?!

Best of luck. I found that the best time for me to give up was when I was sick with a cough or sore throat. Yer feelin' like crap for a few days regardless. Stopping smoking in the car was a big thing for me - there was nothing I loved more. I still like one when I've had a vodka or two though :rolleyes:

Woman after my own heart my two guilty pleasures in the world. Smoking when driving and smoking when drinking vodka.

The thing about quitting smoking is you have to really want to. I know that sounds kinda of obvious, but I gave up about 50 times, because I felt I should. I never really wanted to stop. When my baby was 3 months old I decided it would be pretty cool to actually be alive to see him grow up. That was 4 1/2 years ago and I've been off since. I drink about 3 times a year and I do permit myself a ciggie or two those nights. I can live with that.

Best of luck muppetcheck. You can do it if your heart is in it.

Hi Guys,
Looking for a bit of advice I bought a ford foucus c-max 1.6tcdi in the middle of december and the garage i bought of gave me a three month warranty.

My problem is the other day i was driving home and i caught an awful smell of gas inside the car. I thought nothing of it till i got home thinking it was the car in front of me. When i got home the smell of gas was all around the car. I open the front of the car to see if i could see anything on the engine block. The smell was coming from the left side of the enigne. At first my dad thought there might be a seal gone on the drive shaft then he though it might be the cat contervotor. We sent it to a mechanie yesterday first he said that there a leak in the coolant or a sealed unit and that he was going to take and put it up on a ramp and he get back to me. He got to me four hours later saying the Turbo is on the way out saying that is the reason for the smell of gas. It makes no sense why this would be causing the smell.


My questions are these if the turbo is on the way out and its five months since i bought the car would the garage be obilged to repair it or will i have pay for it myself even thought the car has full service history.

The second question could the mechanie be right in saying that the turbo is on the way out.

And third the mechaine claims that the enigne is a peagout enigne in the ford does this mean i have any leg to stand on with the garage considering i thought i was buying a Ford.



Thanks

i found it!

but will the owner answer his phone

i would happily give him a good bit more than his asking price if its that fresh in reality if someone has already offered him the full 2200.

Lads I was on here yesterday about my car getting keyed.
Thankfully its not that deep, you cant really catch your nail on it.
What ways could i use to fix it?
Would a buffer and some sort of cutting compound do the trick?
Im just brainstorming now so any suggestions welcome!
