It was a joke. Someone up an ad of a fella, looking for a woman. It included low milage, extra boot space, just strange things like that..

But when I explain something, it never reall is funny...

A bit of a catch 22.

I know its not everybodies cup of tea but and spent the weekend up in Tyrone for round 4 of Prodrift and mother of god i am hooked!

Himself was driving in it and my heart was literally in my mouth. The Saturday driving session was something special went on until 10pm under flood lights the cars just looked amazing going around the track!

Roll on Mondello in September!

Quick Q for ye lads - where would be a good place to get a car radio/shop around for a car radio?

Seen this one in halfords and think it'd really suit my car but a bit on the expensive side - trying to pick up one similar to this for a bit less if possible.

*Edit* nevermind never realised pixmania did car audio parts

So you're a pikey now?!

It's a great show but the support that follows it really let it down. I'd go to mondello to watch it only I couldn't leave my car in the carpark safely.

Can't really comment on that to be honest everybody i have encountered in it so far has been grand in the venues i have gone to.

It would be fair to say you will have some undesirables in all forms of sports that's just life! The buzz though is something else.

Some amount of work the lads put into their cars its a shame when it all goes horribly wrong for them especially the ones where they don't have sponsorship etc.

To be fair, that's not one bit of a spoiler. It has absolutely nothing to do with the plot as it's a very small side-story

That's what you think!

The RX8 is very practical though, it has 4 seats, the rear ones even come with isofix

Very useful thing to know as you walk the kids passed the car on the way to the creche as you've no money for petrol :P There's a nice R3 you should take a look at...

"Autoglass repair. Autoglass replace."

As well as the Irish and UK version of their TV ad, they have the exact same scripted ad in Australia, except they don't go under Autoglass there.

Instead it's "O-O-O---O'Briens!"

Changed the engine in a Punto this morning, started at 10 and finished about a half hour ago. Piece of cake

Ardennes1944 · 20-08-2012 04:15PM

cgal093 · 20-08-2012 04:19PM

Also, with the donor car we took EVERYTHING out that was sell-able, its in bits :pac:

Might as well empty the bins into the back seats :pac:

Old engine;

Some rust;

If anyone wants the car for €30 lemme know

*might swap for a bottles of Budweiser..

CianRyan · 20-08-2012 04:34PM

You'd sell any windows in it handy enough if you can take them out I'd say.
If it's anything like an old Starlet new windows are ****ing extortionate!

cgal093 · 20-08-2012 04:38PM

Two rear windows are gone, couldn't be arsed taking out the front two..

Hey guys im getting two new front tyres in the coming week.
Rang one place for prices and they recommended BF Goodrich g-force profilers.
117 euro each, he raved about them actually. I know nothing about these, are they any good, whats the grip like in the dry and wet etc? And is that a fair price??
