Sounds like he really loved BMs; I'm from Gorey initially and 20 years ago this month oe of my classmates fell into and died in Courtown harbour after a night out. At least his 2 friends survived.

White spirits.

MetzgerMeister

No offence mugs but I wouldn't dare put white spirits near paint. It's made for breaking down paint in paintbrushes etc......

No offence taken. Take a trip into the detailing forum for clarity. It doesn't harm the paint.

I would think it does some amount of damage but not visible damage.

Took the Civic to the shop and for a small spin to blow off the cobwebs, it's not been moved in days, I had a lad in an e30 put it up to me then another guy in an Audi A4 TDI. I can't believe it's the guys driving the Jap stuff that have a bad name

Wouldn't that be because these lads all had Jap cars years ago before the felt trend took hold?

This. When I had skyline it was just brutal on the roads for me. I would drive to work around 4:40 in the morning at 100km/h and I would get overtaken by passats audis or octavias on huge speed over solid white lines or stupid spots. Some cars I would notice more then once to do that to me.
It was like a principal to go faster then me and in front of me. I couldn't give a toss to be honest, but it was always that Vag stuff that would be doing stupid stuff on roads, not jap stuff, but jap stuff would get all the glory...

*there are stupid drivers on both sides, it's just jap stuff gets blamed for everything.

I know that but it's like the way a lot of people here don't like the English because of what they did to us years ago. No one wants to know about what they're doing now, just what they used do

Seems like it could be an original Irish car too 84-D-627 - I wonder who Dublin's Gordon Gekko equivalent was rolling in that thing in the 80s?

Agree that the rims do nothing for it - need AMG monoblocks on that bad boy.

An original Irish 84 plate would have been an old dtyle plate, its an import
