    Why do people get into my car and the first thing the do is put the window down letting all the nice cool air-conditioned air float away, pisses me off, I've started locking the windows.

    A mate of mine is convinced that conditioned air is bad for you and insists on driving at 120 with the window down.

    Last few hours in paris and just a few moments ago a convertible lamborghiny raced past the front of the hotel !

    Last night went to the sean deleasie ? For dinner and came across a classic car event. Went into Renault cafe and car show and also Toyota. Heading for Peugeot and Mercedes today and then airport !

    Fun times and plenty of pics to come !

    That Toyota place was one of my favourite parts of Paris.
    The classic Celica, 2000GT, the TRD GT86 and the Le Mans car. Soo cool.

    Thinly veiled "I have air conditioning" post.

    I have no such thing.
    When it's warm out and my fan is on the coldest, I get warm air.

    i know! was travelling with the parents yesterday, 100km/h on the motorway, both mam and dad with their windows open and that horrible "banging noise" that the wind resistance inside the car makes.

    air con button turned off on the dash and fans set to zero :mad:

    sounds like you dont have real A/C, if its just pulling in air, proper A/C should use Gas.

    Xantia went for the test today,

    Failed :( but only on a dust boot on the steering rack & frayed looking brake flexi lines.

    All the parameters on the other tests were very pleasing, 0% imbalance on the suspension & very low imbalances on the braking.
    Smoke result was only 0.410/m, needs moar smoke :pac:

    I am so tired. No broadband so forced to watch telly. It's the first time I see this "hurling" game...

    what a weird sport... Grab with hand, kick, carry, swing with a bat.... It's like a free for all random stuff to do on a pitch...

    How the hell they don't kill each other with those bats.

    I showed my canadian friend a hurling match once before and she was totally astounded by it, she thought it was amazing, and I was like "well we did invent it ourselves" :cool:

    Don't let anyone in Cork hear you calling it a bat; it's practically a religion down there.

    Had rain nearly all day here in Montpellier, not expected at all but sure such is life! On the car front so far the stand-out car's have been a Alfa 166 2.4JTD - that yoke gets up the road quick I tell ya!

    Also seen quite a few Bravo TD's as well, mainly all the TD100's too...:D

    The highlight was probably a C63 AMG blast up the road. Fabulous sound off it, will keep and eye out for more!

    On the random there now, I'm looking to get bonnet lifter things, as some of you may have seen, like the yokes on boots but for bonnets, and a new addition to the list, a fin aerial, also have a few other ideas in the pipeline, but lets keep it simple for now

    So shark fin aerial on an Opel Astra? Yay? Or nay?

    I have mentioned previously that I'm in Montpellier for the week, basically I'm here with mates as we were auditioning for Character Jobs for Disneyland for the summer. Had the audition yesterday and it went well enough for me that they offered me a contract for the summer as the Prince Charming :pac: but unfortunately I couldn't accept as I have car's to get running again...


    That GTV better not sh1t itself now...:D
