You will get a fine and maybe a court appearance depending the garda and how far they want to push it.
I got fined for not displaying a tax disc before. It was the next day after I bought the car. I told her as well and she still issued the fine.

Well that was rotten luck. It's the worst case scenario and it's not that bad really.

In other news, my stuff arrived from Micksgarage so I'll get a bit of stuff done tomorrow

nd

So many folks here been to the Limerick Cars and Coffee?

There's one on on Sunday.

Fun fact: My insurance letter and my logbook both say my name is Michael, even though i've written Michal on both :pac:

Funny thing is that I actually bought my insurance online :pac:

Someone very kindly noticed that you mistyped your name and fixed it for you :pac:

Imagine what would happen if I wrote Michał. They'd be looking for 'ł' on their keyboards for ages :pac:

On another note: Who's played this game?

There were reports of a speed trap at the M50 exit there yesterday.

Whats going on? a Garda car and van rushed past my house about 20 mins ago and now I hear a Helicopter, usually my area is very quiet so when something happens you really notice it.

I thought that place was called Cherry orchard.
Unless we are talking about different places. Beside Ballyfermot is it?

Well that was an interesting trip....! I managed to fill a bin full in the middle of the street after clearing my boot

One of the lads put a coffee cup on my towbar and despite getting knocked off over a speed bump in Athlone, I put it back and it's still on the hitch when I arrived home :cool:

The double din radio is the 2005 focus onwards.

Same pins as the 6000cd

A nail file. I took out mine several times without the fancy radio keys. Anything long and thin will work really. Put it in at an angle going towards car doors and push it towards the car doors to release he radio in each corner.

New wheels, new tires...ohhh boy! The car is way tighter to drive, massive difference in feel and for the better. Delighted:D

Not sure about that one, but I've used steel wire in the Mk1 before and it worked fine. 4 pieces, shove them in and they click in, and out she comes!
