So you didn't like the 750 for half price?

The 4 litre engine must have been sold in tiny amounts, every model I see is 745 or 750...

Met him this morning, very nice to deal with and fair too. Made a deal, new wheels on the way.

All the 750s I looked at had half the spec of this one, it's an ex BMW Ireland car apparently so has virtually everything, bar the night vision (which I think was a 2006 option). Annoys the crap out of me to see a 750 with no comfort seats.

Also no discernable power difference that I could feel between the 300bhp and 360bhp, the 740 still goes like stink.

Once it's not a used red mini should be grand.

That the one that went over the Harbour wall with some lunatic driver and one of the staff/owners in it during a test drive?

@ Voodoo congrats, looks lovely

18k posts woohooo, I obviously have little to do with my life.

Another good reason not to use public transport lads, the roof in Kent station collapsed a few hours ago :eek:

Kent Station is in Cork for those of you unfamiliar with areas outside of the pale/bogland

Visibility is **** out there lads so take it handy. I've rarely done the m50 with no traffic below 100 kph.

The purple one in luxonomics thread had comfort seats

I'm sure this is great too. Did you haggle a lot off the price? PM if you want...

I can verify that the weather was wild enough here for that to happen. Not surprised at all. :pac:

Sitting on a bus, soaked through... I miss my Almera.

Beautiful 740!!

thecomedian

Best of luck with it Voofoomelon.
Good to see someone getting a large engine

I've never bought from there but I've been up there a few times and they come across well. They always have decent cars there too.

I've just had a tree blow down in front of me!
I came round the bed just as it was falling over, It was about 200m away...... Close enough for me :eek:

A few years ago, going racing one morning, me and my mate in convoy. Me in a ducato with trailer, him in a transit with a 16ft box trailer. Heading out the thomastown rd out of Kilkenny came across a poor auld wan in a see through raincoat walking a decrepit looking little dog along the footpath beside what could only be called a lake....................
I indicated pulled over to the other side, missed the lake and said auld wan.
Next minute I get a txt, "did u miss yer wan with the flood?"
"yes" says I

Then I get a txt "I didnt". :D:D

I still laugh when I think of it.

Holy Jaysus. Reminds me when dublin flooded in Oct 2012.

ShadowHearth

I can already smell Car insurance and property Premium in that area going up up and away!

Was quite bad here too for some time, even my dogs were in hiding.
