Anyone know any nice spots in Donegal to stay? Heading up for a wknd & fancy a drive along the coastlines.
Try Ballyshannon, there's a field full of hairy men in check shirts just filling up now...

Fitting new idler arm and ABS sensor to the 7er, having a look for an oil leak, changing plates back for NCT. Idler arm gone on the T/A too and if my buddy can spare me enough time on one of his ramps I'm gonna do a few other little jobs too. Pics later hopefully!
Careful with those ABS sensors, they're wedged in there and if it falls apart, you'll have to drill her out!Limerick man wrote: »German plates or not?
I ditched mine, too many about these days, starting to look like a club!
I've come round to the clean, simple look.

BMW-shaped mirror. Nice to see someone is taking proper care of the car, even the wheels are spotless. Well done. You may see another big fan of BMW's in here, just give me as clean as this one on Donedeal!0 -

called my insurance just to ask for qoutes.
i thought there will be changes when i am 26 with 5 ncb! i was wrong
not a single car they will insure me on. pure refusal or have to be 30. i even told them that you told me that twice already when i got mx5 and skyline, but you still insured. his answer was: we cant give qoutes, with no reg bla bla.
so its once more buying a car and calling to "update" my policy :cool:0 -
Hey all, was just wondering if any of you's could help me out with regards to a slight bit of a pickle I am in..
During the week, I booked my mothers car in For an NCT test in Blarney (Cork) for tomorrow (Sunday) @ 11.15... The problem is, I have ripped the house apart over the last 2 days looking for the Vehicle Registration Cert, but with no joy.
I was just wondering if there was anyway else I can get the test done, or am I up the proverbial creek without a paddle?? Tried ringing last night and this morning to cancel before the 24 hours, but of course the call centres are closed for the weekend -_- 0 -

Having had a 530i which was more powerful than the 728 and having a 540i now, I can assure you there is a world of difference between the two. If you are happy with a 728 (and that 6pot is a good motor dont get me wrong) dont spoil it by driving a V8 (ever)!0 -

Oh sorry, it's different person. Your goes up, because of you being overweight.
She told me that my parents are dead and then called me fat. Great! 0 -

I'd trust a skinny chef to cook my food, certainly Marcus Wearing, Kevin Thirnton or last noght's experience Philip Howard. Other than that, I am with Julius Caesar.... "let me have men about me who are fat as they can be trusted".0 -

Are you just sealing it up or doing any correction work?...Haven't familiarised myself with LSP techniques yet but Vectra or MM are good allrounders and should be able to point you in the right direction.0 -
