Already sold, going to the new owner tomorrow as far as I know! Think he's getting a Mk6 or Mk7 GTi.

Ah I've a new customer there

I'm still confused, do I hit it before Belfast if I'm coming from swords? I think I'm confusing it with Ballymena which is the other side of belfast

Hopefully tis a good car to you for at least a while now! Bet you're looking forward to driving it!

I'm close to €8k into my green 166 worth about €2k....

Literally said to mrs. Fanboi that i mightn't sleep tonight with excitement!

It's a labour of love for a man i guess. Could be pissing it against a wall etc. 8k into the 166 is mad, but at least there's some bodywork in that, so the spending shows :pac:

Don't even ****ing talk to me about these sort of repairs...

Failed my nct today. Put a new tie rod in last week, new discs, and pads and mechanic said it would fly through only to fail on one of the dipped beams needing focusing. I knew I should have checked them!! Not so much as an advisory even other than that!

I hope you survive..

My little 156 is working well amongst the sea of rep mobiles in recent times. Six weeks ago I had 109k miles on the clock and got the oil changed....now I'm at 115k miles with another oil change needed.

6000 troublefree miles in 6 weeks but it's a very unreliable car don't you know? I'm chuffed.

Im off to Cavan early so should survive my customer there is a pet to deal with

New fuel station opens near me and has a free sponge car wash :eek: with every €50 worth of fuel. They are charging 129.9 for diesel and 139.9 for petrol. The price of oil has dropped a bit so I hear so that's about what it should be across all stations.

That's six cents a litre cheaper than my nearest cheapest station

Long story short, the car seems to be for sale in 2 different areas although one add was "sold" fierce quick after it was brought up.
Having some laughs with it in the bangernomics thread
The NCT is fake, he isn't the owner, price varies depending on the website and he has two different names but with the same number
Oh and he can't seem to get his story right, when one of the boardsies told him that he couldn't have had the timing belt changed cause they are chain driven he quickly deleted all his comments and blocked him from posting.
Cheeky fecker

Was it reported to donedeal and adverts for the fake nct? This clown needs to be shutdown...but sure have your fun in the meantime .

I reported his newest DD ad which I spotted a few mins ago.
Still flogging it with the fake nct and a different price.
Adverts one though we aren't finished with yet
