Navan never fails to provide entertainment at the expense of idiots

A "valued members of the community" bare knuckle fight broke out outside mc donalds, probably over a disagreement over what kind of handbag is best to collect the dole with.

Whilst that made me laugh, just up the road further a golf appeared in front of me, loaded with quite a lot of weight (well what else empty space?). Perched on the parcel shelf was a small frizzy white dog, the ankle snappin type. The dog looked like it was stancing itself for balance when it decided to absolutely sh*t all over the parcel shelf and rear window :pac:

Oh I'm in tears laughing here still

Lads what's the cost of a front bumper full respray these days? No damage to the bumper, just a colour change.

I've been quoted 100-400 for it. It's hard to know who to go for, but my advice would be find someone who had work done over a year ago. Most spray jobs look good the first week, but can look **** 1 year later

I taught the scenery looked familiar. We used to go camping there and over to Louisburgh in Mayo. All down the west coast great times. Hey bonus points time, that's the sky road. I was actually looking at it on google maps last night..

Ok, didn't look at the comments, honest!

Nobody bit for this one?

It were The Verve, guvnor.

Were they sued successfully for this? And wasn't there a Rolling Stones link with this saga? Or is just that Andrew Loog Oldham had links with the Stones?

Jesus.

I've to do a Dublin to Derry round trip this week. I can take either the 1.6 petrol or 1.5 CRDI. Reckon the daysul would be up to a tenner cheaper so I think I'll go with that.

Does anyone do cross Country trips in petrols anymore?

I picked up some parts for my carina (Dublin - Castlebar - Dublin) in my v8 pickup, and regularly drive all over the country in either the GMC or 300ZX tt v6 for car shows (was in leitrim last week, kilkenny before that, cork and nenagh this weekend)


Cruising in a v8 boat is worth the extra few quid every now and then over my daily hacks currently, a 1.8 T Spark 156 & a 1.8d fiesta.

Sign of the times and all that.
