Stormy weather out there this morning, was thinking about going to the back roads meeting at the Vee but no way in hell I was heading out in that.

Already notice more bite in the disc/pad combo installed yesterday. EBC greenstuff pads, with OEM bosch discs. Far to early to get a real impression, but so far so good. I was running cheapo drilled and droved front discs and a set of mintex pads. Plenty of life left on both when they came off, but they went straight in the bin!

How does someone lose a grille for a car I want to put the wire mesh one on the focus for a change but I can't for the life of me find it!!

Definitely not in the house anyway, wouldn't really keep that kind of stuff inside. It's in a black bin bag somewhere, there's a few other bits in with it. Hmmmm.....

Seen a bora 04 with red TDI badge all red including the T. Did they ever use them in the factory or was it just bought I've seen red di and red I but never red TDI. It was also the loudest vag tdi I've ever heard not because it was modified it was just loud.

TDI = 90 hp
TDI = 110 hp
TDI = 130 hp
TDI = 150 hp

I don't know if any of you heard of that fatal accident out by Slane direction today. It happened literally as I was travelling along the stretch of road, I was minutes behind the car. I didn't actually see the accident happen so I was was quickly ushered further up the road and the Guards set up a road block. Unbelievable really knowing I was that close.

Road trip to Shannon airport! Going out to have a look at the Antinov. Something different for a Sunday evening

I'd say it will be cool to see it. I'm having a lazy day on the couch the most productive thing I've done all day is went and bought diesel

That was my plan until the brother told me about it. Funny thing is we were only talking about the plane on Friday and about the last time it was here and we missed it. Hadn't a clue it was landing today

Supergurrier

I'd go see it but just heard the 1st 4 episodes of GoT have been leaked online

I've been in that situation before, it really scares you i think, hear nothing about the crash though

I was going along home from work and this guy in a levin levels up beside me giving me thumbs up and so on, wasn't anyone from here no?
