    because i rock up with insurance cover, my own car taxed, tested and with my full license, the seller with a driving ban was more qualified to do the test drive was he? i'm not taking a 250k ferrari out or anything.

    regardless, the car was not as described, even the pictures lied so to speak.

    anybody sees a nice glanza do post it here. in the lenister area. appears theres nothing but ****e for sale. dont want one caked in mods earlier because i dont want the insurnace hassle.

    ah i wasn't snapping at yous sorry if it came out that way, just more cross over your man not letting me take it out, makes little sense to me.

    been browsing toc-irl, im a pretty active member over there (toyota fanboi number one :D) 2 nice original ones for sale, one was just sold, but theres another in cork just out of my budget.

    think i just have to bide my time.

    Anyway, Nothing special, But I drove a landcruser 3.0 for the first time today. I was helping a neighbour with to move catle. Then he nipped of to the shops in his car and left the keys to the toyota in the ignition. I done a few donuts. :pac:

    Well that was the easiest servo and master cylinder change EVER! 4 nuts, 2 brake pipes, one pin, vacuum hose and a clip... 10 mins to remove, fit and bleed :D

    Great to see the Traffic Corps out tonight in a very good spot with a checkpoint

    Shame they werent checking D/L's or breathalizing :( (still yet to be breathilized myself)

    glad to see all the "lads" in polos, golfs with their stripey jumpers and best pair of "Nike" runners with their sun lounger seats getting fines for no tax etc.

    Sad to see a very bad accident on the way home too.

    Taxi and showroom Dealership car with advertising (2012) blue something - Both must be total write offs from what i saw :( didnt see any drivers, only guards and tow truck man.


    weird thought from today,

    Ireland - Many rules on roads but still accidents and crap
    India - No rules and everything is fine ! :pac:

    Yeah, the last couple of weeks the guards have been out in force in Kilbarrack, Donaghmede. Mainly checking tax, like yourself, I'm yet to see a mandatory breathalizing checkpoint though. Good to see, but unfortunately it seems more like revenue collection than road safety!!!

    Im driving 6 years and have only ever passed two check points in my life and all they looked at was my window and waved me on.

    India has huge amounts of road accidents per 100,000

    What part of the country are you from Fiona??
    I've been randomly breathalised 3 times in the last year or there abouts! Luckily I don't drink anymore :) been through quite a few tax checkpoints aswell!

    Up until the start of the month I have been living in Ashbourne since I started driving. Main roads I would be on would N2 / M50 / city centre driving.

    I never even got hassle when I was driving my E46 on the classic plates. I must just have an innocent face :o

    Ah i see,
    Im from wexford out in the sticks and every time I've only been breathalised on back roads, never in a town! Drink driving must be rampant among the farmers down here or something! If you have an innocent face, I must have an awful dodgy looking one altogether! :p

    Didn't realise 123.ie don't insure Impreza WRX or Evo's :confused:

    Currently with them, and I'm having trouble finding a manual S60 T5, so getting quotes for all sorts of other cars.

    They let you go through the whole process of filling in details, then say:
    Thank you. Unfortunately we are unable to offer you a quote at this time.

    Rang them thinking they'll sort it over phone, and I was told regardless of who you are, experience etc, they don't insure them at all.

    WTF?????????

    Waste of time on the net and ringing them :rolleyes:

    (for the record I asked him what they don't insure so I don't waste my time in future, he said also: Celicas and some Legacy's)

    Lads, I need a front ABS sensor for the 7er and priced it in Rathgar Motor Factors @ €119!:eek: Micks Garage has them for €54 but when I went to order I noticed they only have rears. Did a quick search online and found this for £22.50! :eek:

    Anyone used these before or see a problem with using this part? Car is a facelift E38 BTW.

    You lot would have me evicted before I even settled :eek::p



    Would anyone be up for a BBQ meet during the summer though? I'd suggest my place in wicklow but it might be a trek for a few, could tent it in the field next door :D
