Went into town on the bus yesterday for the first time in ages. Tickets cost 7.60 for the family; 8km total, which is 5.7 euro in the guzzler including everything (tax, insurance, service etc)

Won't be taking the bus again in a hurry...

Needs interior photos to. I don't bother reading most ad's that don't have interior photos. Suggests it's in rag order.

Some straw coming out of the boot for brining up to the sheep at the curragh is needed there.

Why on the grass? Each to their own but it screams felt to me.

Some nice interior shots would do some good. Close up on the damage, make sure it's worth my while coming out to look at it, pics don't lie (usually). Picture of the boot? You can tell a lot of what a car's life has been like from the boot. You've 10 pics to use!

Not looking forward to next month either, I've tax up on the carina and the truck in the first 2 months.
Bimmer is up in April/May but she should be well with her new owner by then.

I'll have the money in January to pay it for a year, and if I buy 3 months I won't have another €500 in 3 months time to pay it again.

Get a credit union loan for the 12 months tax and pay it back weekly?
Slightly more expensive than taxing for a full year, but may be a good bit cheaper than taxing quarterly!

Supergurrier

Ahh... Hello credit union person

I need an RS clutch because my old one died like a curley wurley caught in the grip of two fat kids.

Can haz money now ??? xD

I need a loan for a holiday, home improvement car etc etc.
So long as you pay it back they don't really care. I paid for my first years car insurance that way, it allowed me to pay back monthly at a rare a hell of a lot cheaper than Quinn would.

Wouldn't mind if santa dropped one off at my gaff.

(I may be a bit large for a 125 )

Don't start that debate with me Honda aren't fantastic with motoX bikes,
My Kx out lasted and outran many a honda

All I have now is an RM250 and thats booked for an after christmas sale!

Edit: As for the size thing you were no bigger than myself when I met you at the meet and I was always grand!
Power to Weight has a lot to do with it!
I calculated before that a 2002 kx125 with a 100kg body on board (200kg total)
With 38bhp, accelerated at the same pace that a F430 does :eek:
Power to weight gives great kicks when it comes to bikes

Exactly! A 125 stroker and my quad (500 4 stroke) are dead even in a drag race until the bike runs out of gears, so obviously I need something faster

A 250 stroker dirt bike is about the sweet spot for me....
Enough power to spin the back wheel, keeping the front rising just grabbing gears as fast as you can while giggling like a loon :cool:

I have only one bike left around the place (4 quads) an old DT175 thats been bored out to 200.

Edit: 4stroke dirt bikes are fun too, but you cant beat the 'power band' rush
