On desktop you can upload to boards.ie and insert the link in image tags not sure if you can do that on iphone if not just upload to a image hosting site and copy link but instead of a hyperlink insert the link in image tags and some of those image hosting sites already have the image tags in the link for you.

Thanks for your reply but I’m not sure I really get what you are saying...

Now in bad need of a wash..!

Top Dog · 30-12-2020 8:53pm

Pice it up exactly a week ago and barely driven it since due to holidays and Christmas overindulgence. No doubt it'll soon be filthy once I return to work next week. She has a big butt, but I like it

Man, first car on my euromillions list, enjoy it!

Thats a beautiful Alfa. I am quite jealous.

Would be curious to see how the reliability pans out.

Looks fantastic! JC Autocare is brilliant and very reasonably priced for good measure.

It’s an Alfa at the end of the day so I’m not expecting miracles but I did a lot of research before I bought it and aside from some common niggles they seem to be pretty robust.

Thanks for all the comments I love the car, I was expecting it to be a full on fire breathing monster all of the time, which of course it is when you want it to be, but the most surprising part is it’s genuinely comfortable and very easy to live with.

I saw that in their page and thought what lucky b***ard gets to drive that?!

Congrats on the purchase!

I took the opposite approach.

Over two years together now. Was trying to go the full year without washing it. The apprentice accidentally washed it after we serviced it in October. Has done around 6k since it was last washed :pac: .

180k kms on it now. Fond of a dipped headlight bulb but other than that, couldn't fault it really. It's not much to look at but i couldn't see myself getting rid any time soon.

Well, ran the hose over it today. Detailers look away now. As per my usual, all demon shine products :pac: demon foam, demon shampoo, dried with demon shine, wheels with demon wheels and tyres with demon tyres. One bucket, one mitt, garden hose, no grit guard.

I do actually like cleaning the car it's just such a shameful waste of time. Got some nice bits for Christmas so was an excuse to get out and try them. Got some detailing brushes, some Auto Finesse stuff, bleeding fall our remover, new was bucket and stuff.

Bonus R-Line content with mrs.fanbois car.

Really need another hundred tons of 804 across the garden

Any chance of taking the Frank Keane website off the back window for me?

Toyotafanboi · 31-12-2020 9:33pm

Had to represent... at the time

Adds provenance to the car, having all the main dealer tat!

colm_mcm · 31-12-2020 9:34pm

I know, but times change

CIP4 · 31-12-2020 9:37pm

Had it on my GTI and it was the first thing I removed. I don’t mind plate surrounds or a small sticker in the back window. But the sign writing is taking it too far :pac:

Toyotafanboi · 31-12-2020 9:57pm

That Golf is flat out with it, has the window vinyl, the rear window sticker, plate surrounds, disc holder, air freshner, keyrings, the whole rodeo!

Some lad will be delighted in 20 years time when he pulls it out of a ditch, all the dealer bits on it. Factory R-Line kit, flow straightner and vibration dampers fitted. EA189 lad.
