    That video is epic! The best bit is when you can see nothing!

    @ Voodoo, that was nice what you put up about your friend Michael. Not enough people spend time with the older folks these days.

    ah right. forgot to ask earlier.

    cheers for that.

    on a side note just saw a whopper crash off poplar row.

    corsa went straight through a red light at speed and straight into the side of a 03 Audi A6 or A4.

    was frightening stuff.

    awful lot of damage

    http://www.selfserviceauto.ie/pricing.html

    dont know if people are aware of this but it looks great imo! a self service garage in waterford. €20 per hour for the first 3 hours, 3 or more hours its €15 per hour. seems competitive enough.

    reading their site suggests they have all the NCT pretest equipment for suspension, brakes, emissions etc.

    hope it takes off :)

    Waiting here in a carpark. Some prick drove by in Audi a5 2012, but he was on his phone texting too.
    Next think I hear tyre wine and loud beeeeeeeep!

    I looked back and it turns out, that prick just drove out out of carpark while still texting and did not see a huge 4x4 driving on main road.

    Some people are just fecking idiots and should not be allowed to drive.

    Well it matters what way up you hold your phone like if you rotate it right or left when taking a landscape photo. (if that make sense)

    The photo orientation seems to be stored as part of the file but imgur seems like it can't interpret this so the photos can end up upside down. However you can then rotate the photo online so it appears correctly. This person clearly didn't notice or something.

    Ah yes, I get you now. I never had the pleasure of owning an Iphone. :o

    But like you said, the seller could have put them right before putting up the add.

    Bit of a half serious q here guys, I was leaving work today and passing a guy who was just starting and he said some guy was taking pictures of the back of my car? I didn't get to talk to him cos he was just starting but I'm just wondering if I should be at all worried? Can't have any harm in a picture being taken of it can there?

    It's possible that he was just taking pics of your body kit and he may want to get one for himself. On the other hand it's possible that he may want to clone your car. It could also be another forum's "Here's what I saw today" thread.

    It might be overkill but I would report this to your local Garda station in case your car is indeed cloned and turns up on the M50 or anything like that.

    Cloned as in just use my reg no. On another grey Astra yeah? It was just a bit strange. It was parked alongside dunnes in Douglas court, cars everywhere but not near any entrances so no one hanging around.
    I was kinda hoping it might be someone from boards just taking a picture for the laugh but it doesn't appear so
