Is it illegal to sell cars on the side of the road now? A friend had theres for sale outside his house, sign on it with the details and contact number, and he was told that it was illegal to do so?

They made a big thing of it in 07 or 08 when there were lads lashing things anywhere and everywhere with for sale signs on em.


We all partied.

Driving up from Tralee earlier and I saw about 4/5 places with diesel @123.9. Was tempted, but drove on. Ended up paying 133.9 round the corner.

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

likely taken with a telephoto lens which severely compressed the distance and so exaggerated the twistiness.

A Fireblade will severely compress the fcukan distance, bah!

I'd forgotten all about that show. The last time I watched that they were doing a time trial with some oil leaking junker of a yolk .

It's apparently contrary to Section 71 of the 1993 Roads Act

It's well worth reading the actual law; it is illegal to have the vehicle parked on the road for the purposes of the sale of goods (which term includes the car itself) but I think that if the car is parked for the purposes of parking and there happens to be a for sale sign then the CoCo would not have the necessary power. The purposive element is what is important, five cars parked together is what causes a nuisance or a car parked to advertise a sale. A person who parks to use the local facilities (shops, schools, outside their own house) but who happens to have "for sale" written on the car has a strong defence!

Was hoping to sell the Astra to a boardsie since I don't want much for it, but now I've put it up on adverts.

You've got some cool stuff for sale, I particularly like the Smena

True, it was revolutionary back in the day.
I play forza a bit, but the selection stuff on gt is class in comparison especially if you're into Japanese yokes

Massive car selection compared to the first game but graphics weren't as good

Assetto corsa and a rig! Job done!

GvidoR

I kind of lost interest in racing games after getting my own car. Pedals > buttons, even if it is an econobox. :P

I can't get any good at all at all out of any of them driving games.

I like Gran Turismo 5, career mode. Its the only reason I still have the ps3

Gran turismo had a great sound track. Feeder!

Supergurrier

I bought a ps3 just to play gran turismo 6.

Was dissapointed tbh.

Should have put money towards next car instead

That was gt3, i bloody loved that game, especially the endurance races

I think Ash was on it too - lose control.

The soundtrack to GTA5 is really good too .

toastedpickles

It also had the only toyota I'd ever drive :pac:

GvidoR

That's the only one? :eek:

I can think of a couple of Toyotas I'd like to drive. AE86 being the #1.

Yep, although having said that, I've been looking at old corollas as the next project, a lot of people will go oh christ at this next bit, but chop the springs, set of tacky roof rails, deep dished alloys, and a few other bits, but do it as cheap as possible
