It's very frustrating alright.

Been offered 2 cars on the cheap that are rare nowadays. I doubt the AA will tow them for me. The more i look at it the costs are stacking up and increasingly prohibitive.

That's a different gig. It's not recovery. €400 should do it. AA won't transport a couple of cars you bought as it's not a breakdown.

You'd be lucky to get away with €800 for 2 x recovery Belfast to Cork.

You hardly have 2 x cars broken down?

Does anyone know what an average cost would be to tow 2 cars from Belfast to Cork? I have AA membership but I don’t know if they will do it.

Looking at pics of the cla and a class saloon they are very similar looking.

I miss the times when each manufacturer made about 4 cars in their entire range. Each with two trim levels, at least I could half keep up then.

The CLA is a 4 door coupe version of the A Class in the same sense that the bigger CLS is a 4 door coupe version of the E Class. The soon to be launched A Class saloon will be a traditional small saloon to compete against the Audi A3 saloon. The next BMW 1 Series will have a saloon version too.

They're doing that as well as far as I know. That's more a rival for the A3 saloon (and 1 series saloon in the case of China). The CLA will be a rival for the 2 series Gran Coupé (whenever it appears) and is somewhere between the A and C-class.

They are good like that! Sometimes you can go in and chance your arm knowing well that you are a number of days or a week early.

When the woman said the car isn’t on the list and I checked my phone message , realized it was next sat and said ‘oh well’ and went to the car

Sat in car for a few minutes and thought may as well ask , wasn’t expecting anything as they were filling up fast

She said, yes no problem

Was delighted

CLA is smaller and cheaper than the c class.
CLA competes with Audi A3, C Class with Audi A4

ofcork

Are Mercedes selling both the cla and an a class saloon now or are they the same car?

Disaster seems to be everywhere I go recently.
I was in the second car back from this happening.

I heard after armed guards turned up.

Out in the shed and seen the alloy I got for the car still out there hasn’t been touched since I got it in January :eek: The damaged one that’s on the car is fairly rough looking now at this point need to get sorted. Studying for last college exams this week thankfully might actually have time to do that kind of stuff sorted out with them done.

Nct looming for the jimny soon, getting a few bits done to it, hopefully it will get through...

What is the story with offset wheels where they protrude outside the wheel arch? Is that a failure?

You can kind of see tracks in the ditch where the truck may have went up into the ditch first then got too heavily corrected out of it, looking at the muck on the road?

Cool pic.

There's tyre marks further to the left that are not on that pic.

I take it that's a load of produce emanating from the trailer. Also the tide came in afterwards. Looks like an unbranded truck.
