    When I get out of bed, I'll be working outside on some of the cars :cool:

    Finished early yesterday & did the same, cleaned the car & headed out for a cycle in the woods, ended up at the top of a hill with a lovely view across!

    Pic won't show up for me so linky

    I have to stop being lazy and get my expanding ass out on my bike again.
    The thing's worth about five times what I paid for my car. :D

    I'm considering washing my car with a sponge... I know that sounds horrible but it has been spronged for the last 5 years at least and I could hardly make things worse, could I?
    I don't have access to a pressure washer. :(

    Only getting back into it now, used to cycle miles and admittedly I went a little too far for what I was able yesterday! Nearly had a heartache at the top of the hill :o


    Eh why would washing it with a sponge sound horrible!?!

    I bought my car about a month ago and the furtherest I've driven it was 100m so someone could get up my road. :o
    Absolutely dying to get insured in it, just need a new job

    I've a habit of doing that. Last summer I was going out on 75km-80km spins every week so I thought I could go out and do the same without building up to it again... Not a chance. 30km and I was FECKED! Haha

    The detailers on here would rather be hanged then have their cars washed with sponges. The dirt scraped the paint work and dulls it. My paints probably far beyond being saved though.

    I just need to rant... some stupid bitch was in the wrong lane today at a traffic light, and instead of holding back until the cars in the correct lane had gone before following them, she decided to barge into my lane and almost into the side of me.
    When we stopped at a light further on, I considered getting out and banging on her windown, then decided that was mental and instead looked around my car for something to throw at her car... nothing there, and besides, that's mental too.

    But yeah, stupid old **** + my temper = rage-filled morning.

    Customs dipping for green diesel outside Enfield. I'm sure they're going to have a field day with the amount of cars on green round here.

    I was in Longford a few weeks ago and there was a que for the MGO pump. I almost filled up until I seen the price and then the sticker on the pump. Its a big saving if you burn a tank every week..

    Was just about to head out to the motor factors and I get a call from UPC telling me they'll be here in ten minutes. Typical.
    I'm glad really, not tied to the house once they're done. :)

    Hi all. Does anyone know a good place to get one of these retail in Dublin? I see Halfords have them for €129. Anyone seen them in branches of Tesco? I only go to the more central Dublin Tescos which don't have the full range.

    Back from the interview, The hotel maniger said he will try and get me some work in the kitchen, He never said if it was paid work or not. I really hope it is paid. :( He said he would give me a call on tuesday. I also seen a Orange ford focus ST. Didnt get a pic as the hot woman driver was filling the car with fuel. I just said "nice car" and she smiled and winked at me. I smiled and went bright red in the face. :eek:

    To be honest, if someone will want to steal your car, that won't save it. All the thirds can take off these babies in less then few minutes.

    got her home :)

    FINALLY BACK IN A TOYOTA :pac:

    drove to Coolock last night to view this, picked it up this morning.

    Bog Standard : original alloys, original gearknob, no holes in the dash, standard exhaust, standard airbox, even the parking pole still works!
    only mods are some security and a turbo timer.

    Definitely a big saving. They were dipping everything; cars, vans, truck and jeeps. I saw a Fiat Panda been dipped :pac:

    I see plenty of people buying green at the local wholesalers. Customs are not long getting on the game.

    ( it will be still motor related off topic lads :D )
    well i first time sow her when i was 14, she was 17. i felt in love right there and i knew i want only her! only when i was 18 and finally got my first car, i took her to a drag race event outside of town. It was official drag racing, where you could pay money and go for a race with who ever you want. so that day was the first time we kissed, hold hands... and then we went on drag strip. my 89' mazda 626 coupe 66kw vs her mazda 626 coupe gtx 85kw. she beat my ass on drag strip that day too! :o
    8 years in and i still love her as much as i did when i was 14 :o

    *sorry for that lads, its still motor related! :D
