Have to agree that the stickers were ruining the car.
The engine picture gave me a semi
Cleve could you do me just one favour when you get it, make a 10 second video and put the camera next to the exhausts... then floor the bastard!

Epic, the engine shot looks great. It polishes up well, If I had it I would get it painted american Steel Blue.

Possibly this weekend but more likely next weekend.
I'm in work 6days this week including the weekend so wont be able to pick her up.
I have a few other photos that were sent on so I'll upload a couple here (ones that are not personally identifiable, since the former owner is in some and I won't put up someone's photo without prior consent_)

Edit: So apparantly I can only add one photo per post, is this new??

Looks epic...(and I reckon it was just the size of the photo that prevented you from adding more...)

Haha I don't think putting the camera near to the exhaust is even necessary. There are no words to describe the sound of the beast. But yup, I'll be taking a couple of videos anyway.:D

I was looking at a few different colors and I think the ones online that look the best is in gloss black. I do like the decals and that though, so I am not sure atm.
Anyway I havent even picked her up yet so I'll enjoy driving it for the rest of the season and think color schemes when she's tucked away for the winter.

Black would suit it for sure.

So, someone living across the road from me owns a Black A4, done up with bodykit, false badging and the usual twin-exhaust thing.

And it's been sitting there Thumping on the drive since around 9am while he dicks around with it. The bass carries ****ing everywhere, and it's going through me bloody head.

The same ****ing Dump Dump Dump Dump, Dump Dump Dump Dump... Whump..... Dump Dump Dump Dump, Dump Dump Dump Dump.....Whump.... for nearly 7 hours.

This should be a Capital offence.

Not during the day, only during "unsociable" hours. And even then best of luck getting anybody to do anything about it.

I gave up after a month and a half when I lived in Leixlip. (My eldest daughter was waiting for a major heart operation at the time, and couldn't sleep)

Better than having to live beside a chap mowing the same lawns every f*cking day with the same droning c*nt of a lawnmower. I've had visions of driving across it and making sh*te of it with the tractor. I'm driven apesh*t on a daily basis and hes too stupid to see the damage hes doing to the grass, the wild flowers and bees, but its alright cos hes keepig the road looking nice....

Still, you may get the last laugh when he goes to start it....

Building

On the noise thing, even during the day you have to be within a certain limit, or its still noise pollution.

Yeah, I heard that, same reason a Garda would give out saying your exhaust was too loud.

Or why Mondello are getting a bollocking over the cars always being too loud, in the middle of the day!
I swear they do a lot for that area to try make up for it and they just keep running them into the ground

You must have got a job pretty quickly when you left college so. Speaking of jobs in trying to decide where to go on placement. Bit of a nightmare trying to decide what to pick of the list. I think I may be racking up a lot of mileage as everywhere is far from home bar two places but trying to get them is not easy as it's a certain amount random choice you pick 6 places and after interviews they put you in any of the 6.

No bp it took a year, but paid off in the end.
In the long run it may be one of these placements that lands you your first job so be happy no matter what you get

Didn't realise it was a year at least you've got something you like anyway. I know the placement is definitely important hence why picking the right 6 can be difficult ah I'm sure it will be all fine in the end.

I know you have to be thinking of that too. Starting interviews next week so that should be fun.

However they went on to say the subject I failed has been dropped and all I've to do is an assignment to pass it, looks like I'm in second year
