Any ideas what product to get for removing the leftover gunk?

Petrol works quite well, might not be the best for the paint though... didn't do mine any harm though!

Its quite impressive that they managed to wash the badges off the car :rolleyes:

Autoglm intensive tar remover works the finest.

Yeah, I went back to the guy and he had it in his pocket, I might use this as an excuse to debadge the boot, I think I might remove the Chaser logo off the back.

Similar thing happened when I first bought the Legend actually, gave it a wash and part of the Legend badge fell off, so I had a "Honda Leg" :pac:

I de-badged it, and it looked the dog's testicles imo.

maybe heat with hair dryer to soften a little before attempt to remove with tar remover etc.

Any idea how'd you'd go about getting a classic car for 24hrs.

I've a special occasion coming up and it'd be nice to have something fun as part of it. The more random the better.

Theres a place in Donegal that do self-drive classic car hire, dunno if thats a bit far though and I dunno if they will rent you one for 24 hours.

Too far. I'm going to a place near Mitchelstown for a night and just wanted to add a small bit to it.

nd

There's a garage near me that fixes cars but the owner has a few classics as far as I know. But i've no idea if he'd rent one. He's about 20 miles from Mitchelstown.

The garage number is 063-98348.

So lads, an estate pulled into our driveway while I was out, 4 lads in it with masks on apparently,

So what should i use as a deterrent should the lovely men return?? extension bars? breaker bar perhaps?? :pac:

That might be worth reporting to the Guards tbh.

Did they just come in and leave straight away?

Perhaps they were looking for someone in particular then and just got the wrong house.

I take it you didn't get much on the car they were in?

I'm a paranoid fúcker. I had a few attempts on my life. I have three pitbulls, two roam the house a night and one stays in my bedroom. I sleep with a glock 9mm under the pillow and a armalite under the bed. Best advice I can give you is get a weapon. PM me if you are interested in one it will set you back a good few grand though.

There's a company in Limerick I think do that. Can't think of the name but a quick Google will sort you out.

It's illegal to be in a possession of a weapon

I'd ask him to call me if anything happened during the night, but I'm at work...
I'd be there faster than the guards anyway...
