    Like I mentioned before, I will be going to Dublin, and you know what is my biggest fear? Mr and mrs " I drive a bicycle while listening mp3, so I limit my sences and you car driver will have to be extra careful for both of us, because I can't hear you behind me"
    I am not bashing all the bicycle lovers, but feck Dublin was shocking for me to drive to last time, just because of free for all attidute! :(

    Headphones in traffic is nothing short of a stupid idea. I instantly have a complete lack of respect for other cyclists with headphones. Mind you, i think the same of drivers with headphones

    Don't get me wrong. I do it on a quiet country road in my left ear. But in the city and other high traffic environments, your wits are needed about you.

    Some people can be really bad. Last time I drove in Dublin and them the fella in bicycle lane decided to overtake another bicycle. He had headphones on and just jumped in front of our car! Misses slammed brakes in already busy street. Fella did not even noticed that something happened behind him. He just continue like normal after that overtaking stunt.

    Sure even people crossing the street with this music blasting into their ears. My dad saved a girls life one day on a "family outing" We went up to dublin to see sligo play in croke park, Cant remember who they where playing. Anyway we where walking up to croke park, Came to a traffic lights, while waiting for that red lad to go green. This girl steped out onto the road without looking and my ould buck pulled her back by the jumper, as soon as dad pulled her back a lorrie passed by and the driver blew the horn. She was in some shock, But I hope she learned a lesson....

    Fitting new idler arm and ABS sensor to the 7er, having a look for an oil leak, changing plates back for NCT. Idler arm gone on the T/A too and if my buddy can spare me enough time on one of his ramps I'm gonna do a few other little jobs too. Pics later hopefully! :)

    well i am back from dublin. I got in to nice time gap, so there were not many cyclist and cars. though it did not changed. on about 90% lights cyclist were going on the red light. ( i **** you not ). Then the most annoing thing was that they switch/use the road rules and when it is good for them, they use pedestrian rules. Makes them unpredictable as ****! :mad:

    anyway, my business is done in dublin and i wont need to go there for atleasst another 10 years! i might aswell get finger out and get irish passport before it!

    Careful with those ABS sensors, they're wedged in there and if it falls apart, you'll have to drill her out!

    I ditched mine, too many about these days, starting to look like a club!
    I've come round to the clean, simple look.

    BMW-shaped mirror. Nice to see someone is taking proper care of the car, even the wheels are spotless. Well done. You may see another big fan of BMW's in here, just give me as clean as this one on Donedeal!
