I don't actually know who he is and if he is banned this stops right here. Take it to PM with the lads.

I like his Civic.

Kaiser D

Why is he getting worked up about some criticism on his car?

Edit: seen Limerick man's post. Apologies.

It's only amplifying the want of a nice 900 now. Such cool cars. So little money.

I thought it looked odd too.





buuut the other side looks odd too. Maybe it's the light/angle/door shutlines/I dunno.

L-M

Meh, still a cracker.

Mycroft H

Actually, no, the shutline looks off. Or is it. I think I'm seeing things.

dgt

Other side is the same. Thought it was the door at first, shutline looks strange, I think it's the trim creating an illusion.

What a lovely car though

L-M

Trim is probably creating a bit of an illusion, but something is definitely off.

Mycroft H

It's a lovely example. There used to be a 900 Turbo parked in the Vet car park in UCD usually. Passed it occasionally. That was another lovely one. Black and spotless condition too.

I suppose. I dunno what I'll do with the 156 now that I've the gtv. I know I can't tax both at the same time. Might see if I can lift the front lawn!:)

An Eleanor! :cool:

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

Wondering if someone can help me; driving a '10 Accord for the past couple of months and have noticed a beeping noise when I get out of the car. Its a very faint beeping noise, sounds a bit like morse code or something, and lasts about 5 - 10 seconds after I get out of the car. The noise is coming from the engine block somewhere. Maybe this is a normal thing I dunno, its my first relatively new car.

Any ideas?

Car pulled out of their drive on the Cork airport hill, she panicked and im 99% sure she stopped, blocking both lanes, i swerved to the left to avoid her as much as possible, smacked into her rear drivers quarter at about 100kph!

the e46 is not a new car, but I am so impressed with how well it did, it looks mangled but there was no intrusion inside at all!

Hopped out, ran over to the other drive, only a long ass scrape on my arm, i was at home 30mins later after i got the all clear.

Modern cars are awesomely safe! The feeling of seeing a car in front of you at that speed and knowing theres **** all you can do is not nice

The main thing is you are ok,cars are cars the can be replaced.

Marty McFly

Jesus Ardennes just seen the car there, glad to hear your ok.

Quick question anyone here ever left there car in Dublin airport? Was looking to book mine in there for a few days this weekend.

Are you better of paying the extra to get the closer and I'm thinking more secure car park?

Just after I turn it off. The beeping is that faint that you probably wouldn't hear it when the engine is running.

I usually use QuickPark, its a little further away from the terminals (beside the Old Airport Road) but there's a bus to the terminal every 5 minutes (which gets you there as quick as walking from certain parts of the Red car park) and they do an online deal for €7 per day.

My focus makes that noise I think it's to do with the injectors assuming your accord is diesel. Afaik it's fairly harmless.
