I'm pretty sure there was talk about something similar but I can't find anything on the Google machine.

I've s few little jobs is like to do on the mini and a lift would be so much handier. Does anyone know if there are publicly useable lifts stone Dublin I could use?

There was one in Tallaght but it either closed or never opened because of insurance.

I heard there was one in Baldoyle at one stage but closed now too, seems to be expensive to keep them going. Get yourself friendly with a local independent mechanic who’ll let you use theirs after hours or you could buy your own secondhand on DoneDeal for about €1000-€1500 or so.

You still driving the E30 Jozi? :P

Public liability insurance premiums have gone through the roof due to the compo culture that has set in here.

I haven't driven an E30 in over 3 years, had my E36 almost 3 years until earlier this year when I got a Mini Cooper S (it's a bit more fun). The E30 is in the shed patiently waiting on me to finish college and find motivation :rolleyes: Still got your E30 or Z, or did you tell me neither and have a R32?

Insurance seems to be a hot topic lately and putting a dampener on anything that requires it

My E30 is gone a few years now, got an offer to take an R32 that I knew from brand new & jumped on it. It’s awesome 11 months of the year, then July rolls around & I have to tax it! :P
