    Was sick all over Christmas so the Golf was parked up since then. Got out in it this evening. It is fairly dirty at the minute as had planned on washing it before Christmas but never got too. Whenever I don't drive it for a few days it always gives me a new appreciation for it. It really is a lovely car to drive it is not mad quick but has a level of power which makes it effortless to pull away and accelerate to a cruising speed. I have criticised it on here for different things but at the core of it all it is an impressive car and good all rounder which I feel lucky to own especially as there isn't that many Mk7.5 ones going around.

    Nice day to take the Fiesta for a spin up the Wicklow mountains. You never really notice how bumpy the roads are until you take a car up with 35 year old suspension.

    Ali Express. They were dirt cheap and do the job fine. I got those, LED bulb kit (interior, number plates etc), gearknob (which is surprisingly good quality) for €40. delivered in 2 weeks

    Really smart. Swap the plates for some nice clean pressed ones and it will finish it nicely.

    What are the pressed plates from eireplates like? The samples on their website look a bit off. Are the actual plates nicer?

    I think I passed by this on the Naas Dual Carriageway earlier. It looks great in the flesh, nice and high off the ground too!

    Ok but €70 that seems way to steep....

    €70 for plates is steep.

    I paid €40 for my black ZV ones in Parts for Cars in Blanchardstown and they are spot on.

    Just rechecked, they were €58 back in January.

    I probably won't spend that again tbh

    Top Part motor factors will do them for you. They have to order them from Tralee but they will deliver within a few days.

    I paid €30 or €35 for a set in Limerick, Stonebridge Motor Factors.

    The motor factors near the train station in Limerick does all those fake dealer surrounds too, if that’s your thing.

    I know they're expensive but Eire plates are much better quality than my local (and very decent) factors produce. The old vagdrivers discount code still works and delivery or collection is rarely an issue.

    When in the popup screen where you upload attachments right click on the link there and it will open in your browser and just copy and paste that link in the insert image from where you post.

    Click on the attachment to open it then copy the URL address at the top. Then in the message the top tool bar there is an icon which is yellow with mountains on it. Click that and paste the URL for the image. The URL will appear on the message then and when you post it the image should be embedded.

    Gave it a wash this morning, first one in a good long time.

    We've had a good time together but our time is short now. EnCiTi in two weeks time then I'll be putting it up for sale.
