    Anyone else here like to wear themselves away over the internals of a GTV?

    I looked at another this evening. Its not been driven properly in about 12 months. Brakes are worryingly soft. Discs seem fine, fluid is at the right level etc.

    Only other thing is there was fluid around the top of the resevoir.

    Stheno or Georgefalls have gtv's/spiders.
    As its italian DGT as well!

    There was a live feed of it. The camera man was hilarious.

    If any of you who are in your 20s (Or still look like youre in your 20s!:D) but not in college anymore etc, trinity's student union are giving out their ents cards at the moment without the need to show them your student card etc....some great deals such as 2 for 1 in captains and wagamamas and JO'burger. Great for taking the missus out for dinner or food with friends before going out!:D

    @ ba barabus, gtv brakes are notoriously soft compared to most cars, I took a while to adjust to mine when I first got it.

    No such thing as an E39 535i, it only went up to 530i and 530d. The 535i only started with the E60 and wasn't available in Ireland, mainly only in the US.

    you do know that DGT quoting it allows it to live on in his post.:pac:

    anyone know where I can get seat belts put in, the f**kn thieves cut out 2 of the rear seat belts when they were robbing the seat covers.

    Also very weird I have E mark tires on the front, triangle cheap ****. I thought Japan only sold tires with no E mark.

    Is there any way you can find out when the stuff was stolen? Absolute sickner I'd imagine. Have you contacted the seller etc in Japan? Surely someone is responsible for the car until you get it??

    Bit strange to see a Mowag driving through Navan..... Tailgate that :pac:

    My brother was involved in the vetting and ordering process for these back in the day,we were ordering 40 at the time at 1 million a piece (most were UN funded),the Americas were ordering 100's and were waiting on the results of the Irish army and their tests before going ahead with the order (Not many people realise the respect our army gets around the world)

    Anyway the first one they got to test leaked like a sieve when they drove it into water,the second one was water tight but the did a high speed emergency brake test up at baldonnel and the brakes burst into flames,the third or fourth was grand and the order went ahead,as did the American order.
