    You don't be up my neck of the woods, no?

    Depends on if your neck of the woods involves the N3 near Blanchardstown.


    It's rare for me to take it on the work commute. I needed to do something afterwards which meant I brought it out for a daytrip to the office. I also realised I left the engine cover in the boot after the weekend.

    Finally saw the new Nissan Pulsar in the metal and its a very handsome car.
    I reckon they might sell quite a few of those.

    General auris/ceed/i30 buzz about it. Looks fine, inoffensive. Handsome might be an exaggeration, but thank jeebus it's not another tiida. White suits it (genuinely, not in a hurhur white goods hurhur way), dark wine look very boring.

    Just had a lovely interaction with a delivery truck who had a narrow road blocked with the ramp. Asked him if he'd lift it and he told me to drive over it. I told him I couldn't as the car was too low and I'd damage my sills. Q torrent of abuse from him and another guy helping him. He was in the process of lifting it then decided when his other mate told him not to to lift it half way and leave it. Finally saw sense and after more f""cking let me pass.

    I should point out the ramp was at an angle and not flat to the ground

    I'm sure that drift looked awesome to whoever that was on the slip road behind me, but I genuinely didn't mean to do it and was bricking it the entire time...

    Had a surreal experience today when I was walking up Ashbourne main street, heard a sexy supercharged engine humming away and when I turned to see where the music was coming from it was:

    A beat up old e36 compact which was a shade of rusty silver :-)

    Bizarre as fook but fairplay to the owner for thinking outside the box!

    They will if they dont have auto leveling and washers unless you can prove that they came from factory without those, the rule has been in for a few years but it was from Feb this year that they started to enforce it.

    You are also are not allowed have coilovers, after market seats or a non OEM steering wheel without a engineers report to say they are safe, dont know when they will start enforcing that but I have heard a few lads failing because of it.

    God help any poor bastard trying to get into DUNDRUM tonight for the early sale. Traffic all the way back to the 500 m sign on the m50 and only 10 spaces in the green car park.
