    But please for the love of jaayssuss get an auto box !


    After two hours on the motorway you can't beat the feeling of pressing the clutch in. Such a relief.

    Drove from Cork to Belfast one day, came to Newlands cross and my leg nearly had an orgasm pushing in the clutch :pac: but of an overstatement but you get me

    Where can you buy number plates anyways?
    The plates (the actual sleeve that numbers are printed on) on my girlfriends car are slightly crumpled and look a bit crappy. Nothing fancy required, just some simple legal prints.

    Micksgarage sell them. Their own ones (they have a micksgarage.com surround) are about €7 each and the normal plain ones are about €10 each. Have a pair of the cheapest ones on my van as I couldn't care less about how the outside looks. Wouldn't dream of putting them on a car though.

    Cheap

    it was last year when i had my civic and it was getting repaired from one of its many crashes by the other parties insurance and enterprise were giving me a rental car and they asked did i want auto (only had a very brief experience with autos) but i said yes and i had it for a week and i was up around donegal, driving around dublin city and delivering pizza in it and it was great, never look back buying one after it.

    if you do lots of driving then why not.

    plus your buying a diesel as is so the driving is already dead !

    Considered that myself but you'd want a very good eye and steady hand to keep the black border square and the bottom nice and even. Even if you make a balls of it and its not noticed by anyone, you'll always know its there yourself and it will ruin your life :p

    This battle was fought lately on another thread so we're not getting into it again :) 1.4 diesel fiesta is dead but there are plenty of diesels far from dead.

    I was thinking jigsaw but I have both of those! Might try it myself for the craic and see how they turn out. As I said before, I don't really care how the outside of the van looks :)

    The Drink Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime is too weak for me,

    i was out in newbridge there last week and a gang of us went out and i ordered a pint of said drink and another lad got a pint of guiness.

    I downed the whole pint of KSL in one go before your man got a sip of his pint and i had another one and finished by the time he reached the quater mark on his drink..... i had to move on to something stronger so i started drinking scotch on the rocks ! :cool:

    Actually, you were asking me to keep ye updated on my half arsed attempt at a temporary camper conversion. I have updates and will post them during the week. Not much as happened since last time as I'm back to work but it looks much better than it did. It will finally serve its purpose next weekend at a music festival in Cork! :D Cheapest conversion known to man. €18 so far :p
