Thats hilarious like DGT I presumed you were in your fifties then again dont you say you drive a golf tdi thats not really a fifty year olds car imo anyway lol I would guess he was serious it's funny the way ya just come up with random ages for posters in your head and theyre often comically way off !

I still can't work out if your both being sarcastic or you actually thought I was a lot older. You could be joking because I over estimated simoniz by 10 years a few days ago I only remembered that now. Oh it's sad I can't tell the difference it's going to be a long 3 weeks of exams.

Ah no not offended just surprised is all. When I first joined boards I thought you were a good bit older than you actually are it can be hard to judge infairness.

In fairness he can come across as being a bit older it's the wealth of car knowledge of every random car and also on the other hand some ramblings of posts/rants that give the impression of much more age than has been acquired I think he would concur eh DGT?

Mine is on the very evening I get back to Dublin with my new car :P

In other words, this LA noire - €9 well spent!

Sick of replacing knackered ones at this stage ?

I picked it up on a whim - got a bit bored of grand theft auto, I've got all three characters unlocked already. I might look into Far Cry one of the weeks.

Was on christmas light duty today in mammy Goodman's house. Only fell of the ladder once.

Also, brought her fiesta down for petrol earlier. As I'm coming out of the station I see an ERU garda looking around the car. All suited and booted and his garda XC70 parked across the forecourt. Conversation went something like this:

Me: Everything alright Garda?

Garda: Is this your car?

Me: No, its the mother's. I drive a Volvo (had to slip that in)

Garda: Where did she get the car?

Me: From an Opel dealer in Castleisland earlier this year.

He walks to the back, points at the tow bar and says "that's the one". I haven't a clue whats going on at this stage.

Me: What? (In a really confused tone)

Garda: That's my fathers old car. He traded it in earlier this year. I recognise the towbar. Not too many towbars on small fiestas around.

The dealer told us the previous owner owned greyhounds, hence the towbar.

Me: Does he own greyhounds? The dealer told me the previous owner did.

Garda: He does. Great to see the car still in good nick. Your mother looks after her well. Fair play to her. Good luck now.

Me: Am...ok. Thanks. Bye bye nice strange scary garda man.

Far Cry 3 annoyed me.
It was the attempting to sneak up on somebody then next thing a freaking tiger is biting your head off!!

On a motors front, is there a current trend of stealing rear tow-eye covers i'm seeing a lot of cars missing them as is mine, fu*kers have caused a small mark too.
Hidden by all the dirt but its there.

Talking to the aul fella this evening. He bought a set of Firestone tz3000a for the C5 and the front set are almost down to the wear indicator. They were only fitted in August about 8000 miles ago. Seems a bit much?

One problem with having a 3 litre diesel is the lenght of time taken for the bastard to warm up

Plus even when the coolant is upto temperature the oil isn't and takes longer. It's one thing I try to always do is drive the car very easy when it's cold I think it really does do the engine and turbo a favour in the long term.

It will do it the world of Good later in life. Mine always gets about 2 minutes after start and then I'll head off. But won't drive it on until at least 20 mins in.
After that I'll do what i want

New model passat on fire on the M3 this morning heading towards Navan just outside clonee. Few fire trucks putting it out as I drove by.

I wonder if it was a fault causing the fire or it was stolen and set alight?
