And if you use normal high temperature paint, you will get a smooth finish and it'll look crap! You need wrinkle paint

Thanks. Calipers need doing too, so prob do them all at once over a wknd

You'll need wrinkle paint for the rocker cover and normal smooth finish hammerite or similar for the calipers. If you are going the colour I think you are....getting wrinkle paint is going to be very, very tough

€75 sounds about right to me, as I reckon it's knackered or the engine has blown up or something...:D

Could be decent if you needed parts though?

If it was in Dublin and I had the space I'd probably snap it up, if its a genuine ad..

Just back from a drive, enjoying the new car! It's a very different drive to the a4... And still adjusting the the DSG box lol

colm_mcm · 30-07-2012 11:57PM

Seems odd that the pic is in a scrapyard and it needs to be gone ASAP for €75

I'd be keeping away from that one. It's worth more than that in scrap.

Anyone had much experience with the mullingar m.m.e car auctions on monday evening? Was out there today, serious bargains going if you're prepared to risk buying a car blind.

andyseadog · 31-07-2012 02:17AM

dgt · 31-07-2012 06:32AM

I'll throw up a pic when im on the laptop later, been on the phone since I got it with work etc.
And unfortunately no the cash never turned up

gollywog · 31-07-2012 08:02AM

And just one other thing, the gti doesn't seem to be as shocking as i was expecting?
Have done around 250 kms since I filled it, mostly motorway though, and it's just under 3/4's full, that can't be right can it?

Maybe it's secretly a TDI instead?

It doesn't eel, drive or sound like a gti anyway lol!
But I'm not gettin my hopes up cause that consumption just seems too good to be true to be honest! Was bracing myself for a shock and was ready

Ah yea I knew I'd need different paint for the two jobs. Thanks tho, the hunt is on!

Lol you know me too well

gollywog · 31-07-2012 09:10AM

I just got a letter from liberty insurance. So I taught it was one of those shop with us for better insurance. It was about a policy I had with QD about 5 years ago and there was some error on their part with overcharging. So they sent me a cheque for €80 :eek:.

L-M · 31-07-2012 10:20AM

Thats a scam, if you forward the cheque onto me signed at the back i will sort it out for you!

I wouldn't have said that's a scam looking just at the price. An 8 year old V8 6-Series with 135k miles ain't worth much these days...

There was a 04 black 645 one posted from carzone with less miles for 7950.
So could be true!?

Actually, I found a turbo on the way home from the pub last night, lol.

Nice m8.

So let's see now:

We got so far:

Golf gti
Focus st
Impress wrx
Some crapy Alfa :P

All we missing now is an Opel Astra opc.

So who is being a good lad and taking that bullet?

I think the big meets have been canceled in favour of smaller regional meets.
