    I rent a house in Harolds Cross. I was thinking of commuting but fuel alone was more than the rent! It also means I can get up later in the mornings:P

    I live in a house on a normal estate rather than a student place. We're probably the loudest people on the road and all of our friends know what would happen to them is they did something to my car!

    Jaypers you're flyin through it! Tis the same with most army courses, when I did my PNCO last year it started with 100+ candidates, 70 of which actually did the full paperwork, about 50 at the weekend, 40 by mod 1 and 20 by the end of mod 2.... :eek:

    Is it like an induction overnight you'll be doing? Keep at it and don't crack! :D

    Had some auld lad in his 60's knock on my window while sat in a car park reading the paper.

    Looked out and thought "here we go"

    Turns out he was a classic mk1 escort owner and he wanted to know how I got my wheels so shiny. You couldn't make it up

    So when I bought my 147 about 9 months ago it came with 4 brand new tyres. Great, I thought at the time before I realised they were Wanli, which are pretty much universally recognised as unparalleled in terms of crappiness.

    There was still a fair bit of tread left on them but had a bit of cash saved so had four Michelins put on today, with a four wheel laser alignment. €465 hit to the wallet but the car is transformed. Ride quality, road noise and grip markedly improved and the car just feels far more connected to the road. Tyres were €420, but given camskill would have been €365 for the same ones before fitting costs, I was pretty happy with the deal. Good to see Irish tyre retailers getting more competitive.

    It's seems to be an Irish thing to put muck tyres on good cars.

    I'm sort of guilty of it myself, mind. That said, new Klober front tyres and 5 yo Michelins on the rear did actually make a Scenic handle almost fun.
