Also haven't been to the dentist in years so took out VHI dental plan the other day. They're gonna get a shock come December when the 3 month entry period is up.
You's would hate to be me so....
As well as the money pits of cars, I have 12 fillings, 3 root canals and missing a tooth. Fillings had to be redone too.... To fix my teeth cost roughly the same value as the cars

I HATE dentists! :mad:
Haven't been to one in, wait for it, 15 years! Have most of my teeth (think I'm missing two towards the back and no fillings.

I'm pretty much the same, I haven't been in 5/6 years now.
No fillings or missing teeth, but I've a feeling I do need at least one.
It's not even the money issue, I just hate the bastards. I mean who actually chooses to wear latex and stick your fingers into other people's mouths as a career?0 -

After a year you get 50% crowns, inlays and onlays, root canals and dentures.
My twin brother was the same as me, hadnt gone in years and although his teeth looked fine, needed over €2000 in work.
So its €190 well spent for me. :pac:
... Went guts of 15 years without a visit too, had to go eventually, was in seriou pain, one huge filling and two small ones, clean and polish, wasn't much over 200 IIRC
unless you need lots done 190 insurance mightn't work out as value.
As above, found them to be animals as a kid, the chap I went to was grand thankfully.0 -

I just discovered this, despite the fact it's years old. It's a one off Ferrari commissioned by an American. It is I think, remarkably ugly for a Ferrari.0 -

My wife is a dental nurse and before I met her in 2005 I hadn't been to a dentist since 1994. I now go twice a year! But I'm lucky in that I have good teeth so its usually a scale and polish. But you should hear the money that people have to spend. Also had a few people pass out on them. Doesn't bother me tbh but I can see why it does upset some people.0 -

It looks like an ugly Corvette concept.0 -

My old dentist owned a porsche 911 996 series. :cool: He also got a picture taken (and signed) with Joey Dunlop before Joey passed away in 2000.0 -

So many innuendos going around in my head about men and dentists, strange things in their mouths and spitting don't stop its great laugh!
I spent €6k on my teeth. Painful but worth it.
Expensive rates for what they do! Filling mouths with expensive hard little things.... :pac::pac::pac:
Car related, the new backbox is far better for my health than the old one I'll see ifI can get pics later but it had blown up in the middle, sending the fumes into the car :eek: 0 -

I think it is, just use a wire brush on any rust and spray it on! Make sure its a full can before you go to the till. 0 -

Will be getting the spray type regardless
I got a good finish on mine using brush on hammerite. There is no brush marks in the finish.
I just cleaned them carefully using washing up liquid.
Rubbed them down with a wire brush.
cleaned off the dust and painted. :cool:
(basically followed the guide in the DIY section.) 0 -

I wouldn't use a spray on Calipers unless you planned on taking them off the car first. Way too much hassle otherwise. You'll spend more time taping everything off than actually painting. :P
As I said before, either Halfords High Temp Paint or Hammerite, depending on your level of thrift/budget. I'd probably go Hammerite personally. 0 -
