I know this has been asked a hundred million times, but what would be the best adhesive for re applying a focus badge to the boot of a car. It's all one piece, ie, the lettering is joined.

Ah Chris

IDC round 5 is part of Japfest, the main part!
It is every year

Chris_Heilong

Japfest afaik was taking place on the 28th(today) where as IDC round 5 has been going on since the 26th, I knew there was drifting on but having never attended Japfest I didnt know it was actually IDC. Learn something new everyday.

Ah crap

On a Sunday that's crap

OK so I got my renewal the other day. I'm a year older and have an extra years NCB. How is my renewal €250 dearer than last year? Do they actually pull these figures out of their arses?

Chris_Heilong

I think renewal figures are automatically generated, if you call up they should take a few hundred off.

Just now I got a new quote off their website for €265 less. I really don't understand insurance companies

Not really, but I should, I know we are good and obviously Dmac is famous but its something I think needs to be on the Telly, we should embrace what we are good at, boxing, horses and drifting.

Forget the boxing and horses

Not just Darren, but Dean Kearney, Eric o Sullivan, James Deane, Martin French etc.

Huge amount of drivers gone to America etc. .

Sadly motorsport isn't a big thing in Ireland
Its sad because a few years back we won the A1GP, the world cup of motorsport and it wasn't even recognised! That really annoyed me

Anyone ever have an aux belt slip off its pulleys? Borrowed a friends Santa fe over the weekend and went to start it there and the belt somehow jumped off the pulleys. Looks like a pig of a job to get back on. No idea how this happened

I've no idea. Haven't gotten a proper look yet. Waiting for the rain to ease off

Ordered some new stamped plates from EirePlates to replace the awful dealer plates on my Panda. I had a look today and the dealer plates are RIVETED on! FFS! :eek: I think I'll have to drill it out.

Any pics dord? Panda is a nifty little car

Dord

Here ya go. Quick phone pic I snapped yesterday. I need to charge my SLR for better pics.



It's a 1.2 Dynamic with the Euro 5 engine, which has 10hp more :eek:, better fuel economy, lower g/Km CO2, aircon, electric windows & mirrors, and alloys. I haven't taken it out for a proper spin yet though, just a few short trips.

davycc
