I think ye've all forgotten why brain scan is close.

A VP 4 litre has a Rolls engine...

GvidoR

This car Has end of life cert so can not go on the road.

What does this mean? What is that cert and why can't it go back on the road?

It is issued by a registered scrapyard before a car is scrapped and a new logbook will not be obtainable

I think they have someone arrested over that.

Sooo... apparently you can't insure a van if you're not a plumber/electrictian/etc

You also have to prove your self employed to tax it too as a plumber etc.

but cvrt ? No problem. Anyone can do that

GvidoR

Isn't that ridiculous though? There are a number of reasons why you could own a van for private use.

Remember when everybody was buying 350Zs/ 300ZXs etc and converting them to commercial for the cheap tax?

Thank them

Mentioned it before but if you're mad enough, which I suspect you are, the road from EnnisKillen to Ballyshannon is absolutely quality....

Some lovely driving roads around the Carlow area too which should be considered!

:pac:

if i had a considerable bit more funding wise, I'd be all over that

Thinking of just going up to howth, purely for beshoffs, but then again.....the chiper up the road does fish and chips way nicer

toastedpickles

Sure we'l see what happens!

Wild Atlantic way around Achill is class. There is a lot of good driving roads around Connemara, but they will be swarmed with rentals and tourists going about 40km. You can have frig all fun around the bends and hollows when you constantly get stuck behind these leisurely drivers....... unless that is, you enjoy driving like a granny.

There's a fantastic road in the middle of newbridge , across from the shipping Centre it a actually goes through part of a building.

I think it's called KFC drive thru !

Dord

Coming up infirmary rd last night in dublin and gave the car a bit too much power for the wet. Wheelspin! Stayed under control though.

Is that an actually real road. If so I do not know why all the bends. That road should have been straight.

GvidoR

It doesn't look very real. It's too twisty to be fun anyway.

I don't see what's the facepalm about. You'd have to go through those bends quite slow since there is no room to pick up any speed.

Ah but you drive a fwd diesel

Edit: Not sure if your golf estate is a diesel but its the generic VW answer. Maybe it is Petrol?

GvidoR

The only diesel I've had was the E36.
