Opel have one themselves at the moment...should pop up for sale sooner or later. It's not Arden Blue though.

So I stopped into an Opel garage out of curiosity on my way home and guess what was sitting on the forecourt? The aforementioned OPC! It is indeed a press car belonging to Opel Ireland as you said!

HOW? :eek:

that porsche looks like it would have been totally fine if they had lifted it off instead of pulling it off. amazing how strong the roof is to have supported the van.

...thank **** it wasn't a convertible

GvidoR

Agreed. They made it much worse.

whole program anyway I just watched the whole thing, even though I had seen that thug life clip I still couldn't help laughing when he actually chose the voucher, she's standing right there as he's deciding over it.

That is true I watched the first 5 mins of the full video posted and she was saying she would like to go out for dinner and drinks and get to know the other person. Despite her size she is quite agile with her kicks to the head in her kick boxing.

would have made for brilliant tv if she had spun around and kicked him in the head

Anyone know anywhere were I could get good bmw badges?

What people's opinions of black and white badges? Nice or going to far I'm undecided.

Nooo ... my A6 came de-badged and I thought it just looked wrong.

Plus, it seems to have the bonus of of dissuading the boy-racer types I find.

Jaysus... watching this now....

- the "playboy" with a red-leather seated Megane
- the fella with the 318 that looks wrecked. The Honda isn't much better
- and our hero with the Mammy wagon

... to be fair to the girl in question, I think she had a lucky escape really!

I hate advance but In that case I would have taken the cheque.

Would I be absolutely crazy to sell my Toyota Corolla (1.4 petrol) and buy the likes of a Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Golf or Audi A3 (1.6 petrol)?

Would like a slightly nicer car with a bigger engine, but unsure if its the right thing to do as the Corolla has been so reliable for me. Anyone have any history with the german 1.6 petrol engines? (Will be around 2004-2007 era model)

And I thought I was bad :pac: my advice from experience is if you don't have a decent amount of money to put with it your at nothing as you will end up trying to buy a cheap rough example and will be worse off and down money. As for the 1.6 vag engine early version 2004-2005 wasn't a great engine reliability wise and was thirsty from late 200) on the newer fsi engine came out they are 6 speed I drove one in a 2006 golf and really liked it if that had been 5dr I'd of probably bought it as I liked the car. Anyway even the newer one probably isn't as good an engine as the one in your corolla.

But ultimately if your not willing to pay for it there is no point changing as there is no such thing as a decent cheap golf or A3. For reference that 2006 golf I looked at in March was high spec 3dr 100k miles 2006 main dealer and was 6.5 k euro. Which was strong but not far off what clean ones make.

GvidoR is this that Latvian rap you were on about before?
Haven't a clue what they are saying but I think it is one of those joke videos.

I don't remember what rap I had mentioned before, but that is an old clip from comedy TV show and they're basically taking the piss out of one Latvian rapper.

How did you even find that? :P

I'm not a fan... Although I'm unsure of what colour your car is?

Also hate debadged cars, they just look wrong...

nd

So my part worn Hankooks lasted about 10k miles on the front and cost 35 euro each fitted. I've decided to try new Falkens this time and they'll cost me 86 each fitted. *Wonders what'll work out better value*
