Motors Chat Thread Round 3

Alanstrainor

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Had to create a new thread, as the last one was on the fritz!

Have fun everyone.

I gave them strong feedback on their inability to communicate about closing over Christmas on their website.

Quick question, looking at a car on donedeal, seems pretty nice, BUT, checked motortax.ie and there was a change of ownership in the middle of December.

Alarmbells yes? If I ring, what would be an acceptable excuse to be selling it so soon after a change of ownership?

Googled the number on the ad and the only other thing that came up was a wanted ad on donedeal from 9 days ago.

I did not, I was polite, I just gave them 1/5 every time they asked how the booking process/website should be rated.

I gave them 5/5 for some things

They did ask some incredibly stupid questions though.

Bank of Ireland once called me to take a customer satisfaction survey about a failed motgage application, and then put me through to an automated system:eek: they couldnt even be bothered to ask me themselves, I hope someone listened to the recording;)

To the person sitting in the black Punto in Kingswood, simply turning On your hazards does not make it all right for you to park on double yellow lines, on a corner.
Uugh!

In other news, my car is feeling sluggish, I doubt my 10kg dog is weighing it down much so I'll check the tyre pressure when I get home.

Was watching breaking bad last night, big meet up of all the drug cartel heads. Next thing, briefly flashes on screen a few times - what did I just see?
De Tomaso Pantera. I have no idea how such an obscure car stayed in my memory, and how I was able to name it while ladies in bikinis dashed around it.

So far, so "cool story bro", but what it reminded me of was a (very) little slice of "de tomaso" action that was available on donedeal lately

In fairness, that yoke would be good craic I'd say!
Fairly random, but I don't think I know anyone IRL who would have ever heard of a De Tomaso, so I said I'd throw it out here...

No rat in my house, just a rat hunter!

Black and Tan Jack Russle and Daschund cross.
She's small but pure muscle.

Blurry picture, only one I have right now.

Just in the door from Naaaavvan earlier today. Met with dgt to see his collection, including the Alfa 166 V6 obviously(:pac:) and his lovely 1989 525i which started first time. Let him drive my own Alfa and got myself a spin in the D-Turbo - Conclusion = the only comparison between the two is that they both have four working doors.

Got to experience the black soot of the straight through pipe too, my god she's some smoker and a right goer on the road too!

Also saw Stheno's old 156. The car's not half bad actually and I might be taking a few parts off it so it might live on!

Overall, dgt is a true gentleman and much laughs were had, cheers!

*The roads in Navan are sh1te too...:pac:

That didn't read well when I read it. I'd to read it a couple of times.

I just read MM suggesting that a smell in a car could be a dead rodent in the engine bay.

Imagine the horror of opening the bonnet and finding barbequed rat stuck to your engine :eek:

Jaysus I can't post anywhere but I'm being watched :P

coolisin

This post may offend but:

I once opened the bonnet of my mothers leon after it "started funny"
To find a cat had crawled into the engine bay and thought it would sleep there, nasty horrible sight.
And the cleaning was not easy.

On another note, please don't snow, I've being looking forward to a spin down the country all week.

PS not to murder cats

Um, that's happened here with the Daily van, opened the bonnet to find a rather stiff cat around the injector pump. Had been there a few days, not nice :eek:
