Have a great time, mate. I'm hoping to do something similar next year. Just got to raise the funds.

And on that, in work already. Aargh!

Devil mileage and a full tank? Must be a special occasion :pac:

Picked up my new second hand car from a garage this morning. No tax on it. How do I go about taxing it? Seems to be nothing on motor tax.ie??

Here is a quick photoshop of how I would like it to be by end of year.

Keep the amber indicators, look way better on it IMO.

Those wheels look class on it though:cool:. I think the ones on it now are pretty cool too.:)

CianRyan

Wheels are perfect but the rear end needs something with the lip and skirts.

MetzgerMeister

I'm liking the GT-R alloys

Also, yes keep the amber. For some reason amber goes well with black but makes other coloured cars look dated.

dgt

Chris please keep the amber indicators, the car looks fantastic!

That's them I think! I only got H7's from them though, the yellows I have the H1's from a much different source, they are eye blindingly good requires a relay per bulb though! :eek:

On a random note, I can't hear Slane this year (I normally can if the weather is clear enough) alas the traffic is getting diverted up my road as per norm. To my surprise as I was working on my 406 earlier only to see another red 406 TD pass my house, straight piped and all :D:D

Impressive piece of kit

Typical Irish village

Idiots parked all along the kerbs on both sides, only a matter of time before two thick eejits in a hurry meet one another (then insist on closing down the road for an hour because they refuse to move their cars to the side of the road and all the bells and whistles are called cops ambulances for a tiny tip)

Yay Ireland

I know most people on here don't have an interest in vans. But look at the mileage serious going for a 2007.

I know I thought it was a mistake but its the same mileage in donedeal. It must of been on the road day and night.

Ex courier maybe?

Even at that its crazy mileage unless it was abroad alot. I recently seen a 2008 passat with 400k km on it and I thought that was seriously high but this :eek: and people say Renault are unreliable my dad had a similar van and he swears it was the single most reliable thing he ever owned and he probably owned 50 plus cars vans.

It is crazy mileage, but that's the only sensible explanation

Almost 400 km per day ever day of its life roughly as its a late 07 reg. still if it was going form cork to Dublin and back every day and a few other places it would add up.

I'd nearly ring them and find out where it got that much miles from

I'd say it was originally bought there and that's why they took it back in. Fairly clean considering you can see the wear on the arm rest etc and few scrapes but its not too bad.
