    ............. It used FECK ALL compared to the Mazda which used half a tank going up with cruise again set at 130km/h. There's a lot to be said for a lighter, more aerodynamic car and engineering.

    Happy and safe motoring to you in the new bus :)
    I'll be interested to see what they retail the 6 at :p

    Fcukin 6 is gone.. 2days is all it took I was going to visit it tomorrow....price was 5000 here and that was a very decent sale price from one of the few reputable dealers here... Im fcukin raging.
    Might as well buy a fućking punto or a clio like everybody else here.

    fučking impossible to get a decent car round here that doesnt involve an 8-10hr round trip

    Just the wheel, otherwise it looks spotless, saying that I've learned lately that photos don't tell as much as you think.

    Only difference I can see is that the plastics aren't prepped and so aren't black.

    the buld required is main headlight, ~H7 bulb.

    would like them to be brilliant white (without using vanish) as opposed the the dull yellow standard bulbs.

    anyone know where to get them in dublin or louth >?

    cheers.

    Saw a mint condition Sierra XR4x4 yesterday. 85-86 vintage (C reg) so jelly mould lift back rather than Sapphire saloon. Looked lovely and particularly impressed by the disabled/blue badge. Can't imagine that there are many of them on the roadin good condition.

    On the Ford line, has anyone in Dublin seen a Granada coupe 3.0 looks like a bigger Capri. I saw it on Capel Street a few weeks ago and thought it looked great. Again, I suspect it's as rare as hen's teeth.

    Is it orange with a big Porsche-like spoiler? If so then I saw it around Dublin yesterday.

    You're dead right there pink muffin! :D

    I used to use them all the time, until unrealised that what I had spent on bulbs, would have bought me a decent HID conversion kit.

    On the plus side, they are extremely good. Not too far off the HID I put in afterwards.
