    Yellow reg looks better in most cases imo. Looks awesome on nice black and red German cars especially

    Anyone know a good exhaust guy in Cork? want to get a resonator removed

    Up in Dublin or the big smoke to us culchies and the amount of Mercs and Audi's is unreal, some nice vehicles have been spotted too :D

    Come join us over in London; meeting up with 5 fellow culchies tonight. On a bad day,would probably see 5-6 Bentleys, RRs, Lambos, 20 Porsches. Onthe flip side, yesterday I saw 2 Insignias. Could easily go a month without seeing either an Insignia or an Astra despite being in top 10 (or so) best sellers.

    Screw everyone that says Irish drivers are CRAZY. I've just been passed by a old Starlet pulling a horse box (double mare) in Amsterdam.

    BELFAIR — The photos were dramatic after a single-vehicle crash left a man and his dog covered in paint.
    Washington State Patrol Trooper Russ Winger says the driver was hauling 5-gallon buckets of latex paint in various colors Tuesday afternoon, June 26, when he somehow lost control of his SUV and ran off a state highway near Belfair, southwest of Seattle. The paint went flying, coating the man, his black dog and the interior of the vehicle.
    KOMO-TV said the man suffered minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital. Winger did not identify him.
    The trooper and an off-duty firefighter who happened by found a nearby resident who let them bathe the dog in her yard. Using her water hose and some borrowed shampoo, they turned the "gray dog" back to black.
    Winger says the local humane society agreed to care for the dog temporarily.

    Tl;dr: man and dog covered in paint after single vehicle collision.

    Big money for a new compressor, leak test and regas if you're using a new part. 6-700 maybe? You could get a second hand compressor but that might not last either. At least with the new one you have a warranty on the part.

    Had the same thing happen to me on an old Peugeot I had. Found it cheaper to wind down the window on those three warm days.

    But what part are your trying to replace? There are many parts in an AC system, "replace the AC" as a statement doesnt mean anything specific.

    Did some shopping today.

    Side skirts will wait, as they have to be painted in matching colour, rear anti-roll bar will be put on tomorrow.

    Factory fitted one has 15mm diameter, this one's 19mm. I hope I'll get rid of understeer at last!

    all i ever see you architects doing is making **** out of cardboard and sketching plants and all, while we're in next door number crunching to make sure the roof stays up and getting u-values right :pac:

    to be fair in first year architecture and technology are virtually the same course (in WIT anyway) so having spent a few years in architecture will be a great base for you.
    i'm sure i'l be in touch to pick your brain

    Yeah sorry. When the dial is at 1,2 & 3 the AC doesn't work but at 4 it works fine. It's strange.
