    Blocking reg plates is stupid anyway. Screams out dodgy to me.

    I have never ever watched one of those "wacky" "OMG look what we did to an Iphone" videos.
    The only unboxing video I've ever watched was to see how a component I worked on fared in the customers final product.
    I intend to keep it that way.

    The views it receives and advertising revenue it will generate mean that the iPhone was money well...em...burned.

    Trip around Italy nearly at an end, Honda performed well with no issues. Jinxed it now.
    Spotted a load of mazzas here and a few nutters including the one today who I nearly t-boned.
    Absolute tosser did a u turn without indicating and on a blind bend. Abs kicked in and better yet he was smiling away as I came within an inch of his rear door.
    Glad I had the brakes changed.

    Brakes on Focus went from 100% today to almost completely gone.

    New pads and discs all round.

    Driving through killiney village this evening around half nine. It fairly narrow. A lad in a vitara, parked in a bay facing traffic, pulls out to do a three point turn. I stay well back to leave him finish it. He reverses back across the road into a 151 renault traffic. Hits it a half decent slap, lucky the spare wheel hit the van or it would have been bad enough damage. He spins off anyway fairly lively. I drove passed the van then and seen a man and a woman in the front seats not looking too bothered by the whole thing. Never got out or anything. It was a company van so maybe they just didn't give a ****.

    Some people can be odd at that time of the day Inter....:D




    In car news, I think one of these might be my next car..

    http://cars.donedeal.ie/view/10115969
    VOLVO S60 2.4 D5


    Doing many miles these days, and while I'm hoping to be abroad with work by the end of the month, if I was staying around I'd have one in a heartbeat. Absolutely love those D5 S60's.

    Such underrated cars...

    I'm guessing 'Murica!
    Their equivalent of "erm, excuse me..." is "Hey! Hey Asshole! Yeah, I'm talkin' to you!".

    No, I didn't know the owner. Sad to see a MK3 die like this though.

    Gave the RX8 a good hard italian tune around the hook peninsula today.

    Was idling much smoother when I got home.

    Dog had fun in the back.

    I see oil prices are the lowest they've been in the last 6 years but our exchange rate is still keeping fuel prices up, sad days.
