What do people make of these style wheels? I like 'm! Not ready to buy just yet, but might make a purchase with some new rubber soon.

Savage set of rims dude!

Demand has surged in the last decade for clean energy applications, like generators for large wind turbines and lightweight electric motors for cars.

Bought a Cinquecento today! Drove it 100km and it didn't miss a beat!

White, 1996 reg. Irish car. Only 230eur, near perfect for the year. 4 newish tyres (2009 with 85% thread, all matching), gearbox and air filter. 130k miles. All it needs is NCT and Tax, but will fly through it once the most glaring fault is fixed... The windshield wiper motors! Should have it on the road for under 450, thats including tax and NCT (fingers crossed) and turn 25 in Oct so classic insurance could be on the cars to use it as a second car.

What? 1996... 25 years old in Oct? Does this mean im in my mid 30s?

Recheck tour maths there, lad. I'm pretty sure it's not the car that's going to be 25.

Yeah but the car still won't qualify for classic insurance due to it being a 1996! Barura said that he wanted to use it as a second car with classic insurance

Check "tour" reading there lad :pac:

Backed up into a Micra today, cant believe it, was in a rush too, lucky there was no damage and the one driving the Micra was sound enough.

Ronnie Beck

Nearly got hit on the bike by some aul one today. I pulled out of a junction because she was slowing down and indicting left. I got a fright then as she overtook me with her indicator still on looking at me all confused. I think she changed her mind and kept going straight. Reminds me of my point in some indicator thread that they are just an indication of something that may or may not happen. Should listen to myself more :P. Just one more year of college and I'm done with that junction. Fingers crossed.

What engine you got to be getting that range?

toastedpickles

The awkward moment when someone has a car exactly like mine for sale on facebat, same spec, same color, same alloys same year and location on the reg, the only difference is the last bit on the reg, I got some fright!
