    This is the most hardest time to buy car in my whole life! :pac:

    I **** you not, its like a curse at this stage. If there is something that i like/ish and fits in my budget, then it is fecking "DONEGOL LAD" or "DUBLIN" ffs.
    Working like a slave does not help it too as i come back home and the only thing i want is just go to bed or die. i came back home at 13:30 today and passed out at 14:00, woke up only 17:30 and felt like crap ( day time sleep sickness ).
    at this stage i wont get any car :mad:

    I need to get a few things done, thats not including the test, tax and insurence.

    But being unemployed isnt helping the situation. But I definitly going to one of them when I get the bad boy going and on the road.

    i was short on diesel last night (did an unexpected 50 miles) and had to pull off the motorway for Roscrea. No station open, passed two closed ones with "24/7" written outside them.

    Anywho, i knew i'd see a speed camera so i kept well within the limit with the cruise control on, set at about 98-99 kmph.

    Saw a van from a well over a mile away in the pitch dark, and hit the brake, then slowly passed it to have a gander. When i went passed the bloody thing flashed me?

    Now, it happened me before that it flashed me, and i was under the limit.

    Why would it flash me?
