How is your Alfa project going stheno? Is the end in sight?
It is. Fatally interrupted due to work travel commitments, but back in for NCT the end of October, and then if it passes the bodywork will be sorted.
I've it a year now and it's a completely different car from when I got it, love it to bits
I'll be taking before and after pics when it goes into the bodyshop 0 -

what the feck is a vw passion wagon?Low blow
I require practicality you just wait until I get my hands on a VW passion wagon and send the diesel Toyota back to sitting outside a church of a sunday morning! 
Yeah, Betty is only 4 but she gets around more than most 4 year olds!
And betty is a pathetic name for a car 0 -

I wouldn't be able for it myself... I'd be looking at about €250 for a decent job I'd say too.
On another note I need two new tyres for the front, Tyreland in Swords/Glasnevin I'd imagine? What would I be looking at for two tyres of very good quality for 16's wheels?

look no further then wheel wizards in Finglas...I got mine refurbed there and they rebalanced wheels with new valves and all...might be worth having the tyres there and get the refurb crowd to fit the new ones....anyway they done a cracking job :cool:0 -

And betty is a pathetic name for a car
I'd love an LT or an old air cooled VW or I'd even settle for a converted Transporter camper tbh..... Surf gear on roof, bikes on back, hiking shoes beside me and a new place every weekend!0 -

rang 2 major tyre retailers today to price 2 tyres for my car 185/60/14's. Rang the major guys because i thought (perhaps foolishly) that they could offer tyres cheaper than a smaller outlet.
185/60/14's in advance, and i specifically said to the lad down the phone that "i dont want sh1t tyres, something with a brand name would be what i want"
he offered me "barums" for 70 a piece fitted or "ovations" for 60 a piece. but dont worry, barums are made by continental. no alternatives.
rang fast fit next, at least the fella on the phone listened, he had bridgestones for 85, firestones for 75 or some other chinese **** for 60 a piece.
i bought the firestones at 75 a piece anyway, and i will say fastfit were a joy, staff were unexpectedly friendly and they took the car straight away.
but does this price ballpark not seem a litttle strong for 14" rubber?
I has a Semperit Sport Life in the size you're after, no car here will take it anymore, has at least 7mm of thread on it, on a Citroen wheel, pm me if you're interested in it 0 -

Remember you giving out about the sh1te that was on it down in Courtown in August...:pac:
In other news, my 156 just made me laugh all the way up the N11 on the way home. Driving along listening to 98FM of course and the rear windscreen fogs up, naturally I pressed whichever button on the dash to clear it and the signal on the radio just went all fuzzy... It was random so I pushed the button off again and the radio signal came back...
Each time I have the radio on and need to clear only the rear windscreen there's no radio signal! Couldn't stop myself laughing all the way home...:D0 -
