Wonder how long more we'll have this for !

145.9 for petrol in Wilkinstown on Saturday, Texaco. No price/interest for the diesel but I'd guess it's one-thirty-something

148.9 for petrol in Finglas on Saturday.

Anyone any idea what the car is? Apparently a 1961 photo.

Front end reminds me of Peugeot 504, but pretty sure they weren't around then. Some other Peugeot maybe?

Reg is 1969 I think.

My Golf is in the garage for its test. Got a poverty spec VW Fox as courtesy car.

Manual windows, no airco and a tape deck. Love it.

Its a Volkswagen 411 4 door.

Definitely not a '61 reg. '69 would be right.

Lads, one of the M Sport badges stuck on the wing has come loose on my F10, any idea what adhesive is best to use to stick it back on but at the same time won't damage the paintwork or metal?

If you clean the surface with a degreaser and use some tec7 carefully it should survive a nuclear blast

3M double-sided tape?

Bazz, call into the shop in Mungret and ask for the own brand adhesive. It might be a bit big but is resealable. It bonds anything to anything, biased or not it is unbelievable stuff.

Edit: it has occured to me that I could use it for a job I need to do so if you want a bit just ask.

Cheers buddy, I'll have a closer look at it tomorrow. I might be able to do a MacGyver on it on closer inspection.

Some sort of a peugeot was my first thought too.
The 61 bit threw me though as I thought straight away it was too modern a design for late 50's early 60's.

I'll have to get better with old irish reg numbers its one thing I'm clueless about.

Hard to know really. Diesel was 1.50/litre in 2013 .... it's currently a but off that

Had the joy of putting fuel in my car this morning....



At least my tax is cheap, oh wait, actually it's nearly a grand.

Well that's the price you pay for driving a luxury performance car. Oh wait, it's a slow 3 series.

I want a new car....

Nah it was around 170 a litre around 2013 or so.

I think that was around 2011 maybe? Have a pic somewhere of filling up the E38 (85L tank) and it coming to €140! :eek:

I remember having to fill up an 80's american pickup a couple of years ago at 1.65 a litre. This pickup was the last of the carburetted 454ci (7.4 litre) V8 and did about 10 imperial MPG. It had the "long range tank" for ~400 miles range. The tank clicked off at 100 litres so I had to go in and pay for the first 100 litres, then resume filling. Pity - as the whole point of filling the tank was to get the photo of the total cost!

Asmooh

i paid 1.359 in dundalk last week

ShadowHearth

What kind of ecxuse we gor this time for fuel prices? Who invaded who? Or who showed a finger to someone, and he is now pissed off so much that he got the tap turned off?

I am surprised there is no mentioning of it anywhere.

That loan A3 I had a few months ago was driving it a few days so put €10 diesel in it and it ended up going back with more fuel in it than what I got it with raging :pac:
