    One of t other drivers just reversed into my car while parking .... I was walking out of the shop as it was happening. She was ****ing it.

    Hopefully I can get the repairs done through Domineos rather than her personal insurance as we all have third party but I would be the third party in this case.

    Hmmm.....


    How in the name of jaysis can one car get hit so many times when parked!!:eek:

    LOL

    I dunno

    Really hoping this gets paid by Domineos so my car can go to a fine fine place and get a brand spanky new replacement jeep ! :D

    Car Shopping is stressing me out!! Money burning a hole in my pocket (first world problem) and I've restricted myself so much with what I want that I can't find something I'm happy with!!

    At the moment I have an e39 530d but the tax is too much and i do a huge amount of driving so I need better consumption

    At the moment Im think a 03/04 audi 1.9tdi. 6500 budget

    Problem is ive had so many black cars that I dont really fancy a black one or a silver one really which majorly narrows it down.

    Im not dead set on the audi but it seems to fit my needs best at the moment!

    If we weren't looking there would be hundreds of examples!! Murphys law :D

    @limerick man- whats it like to get parts for them? Wouldnt imagine scrap yards being overrun with them!

    I think to buy myself more time on the buying front I may just throw 3months tax on it, polish up the Rondell 58s and just enjoy it while Im nosing for a new car

    Very easy actually, not that i've needed any! (anything back half is going to be hard found, alright). The grill demands a premium as everyone wants them.

    Edit: they're a Mondeo underneath.

    Seeing plenty of talk about people at the rally of the lakes, drinking til 5-6am, getting bagged the next morning and failing, then being 1 (point?)under the limit at the station for the proper test. and they're bragging about this. What a sack of knobs

    I'm a big rally fan but have not been to the lakes in years because it gets overrun with these idiots.

    Best thing to clean those with is just an APC, the last thing you want is a very shiny dash relfecting in the windscreen!

    I have the new car scent. It's very nice but it smells more of leather than actual "new car" if you get me. Maybe it's my imagination, I don't know!

    I think it's time for a new car man, it's the only way you'll get that smell back! I'll take the MPS though...

    If you want your car to smell like a kitchen Flash is fine :pac:

    I use Meguiar's APC but if you know somewhere that stocks Autoglym products, their leather cleaner is basically an APC.

    Ladies and Gents , we are really trying to get some momentum behind this years ATWR and have a competition running to make this years event effectively free for the winner.

    More details here but this prize is worth at least €300 and that's not even including the use of the car for the event.

    I would imagine a year later the majority of body shops would show you the door and blame weathering & wear and tear.

    When you say flake is it stone chips or has the paint randomly started to lift
