    You know the saying, any man who must take public transport after the age of 26 is a failure.

    Just saying.;)

    Also, although the bus would be rwd too (probably) that's where the comparison ends :p

    Just back from my Weekend in Belguim at the spin cable park, fantastic weekend. Wakeboarding, Hanging out with pro wakeboarders, drinking....alot:D
    The whole weekend cost me less than €200:cool:
    Btw Belgian roads are ****, worse than ours:eek: there are virtually no signposts and very few speed limit signs. And most Belgians are mental behind the wheel.
    They also brew great beer and its cheap as chips (which are also great in belguim)
    I also found out that all Dutch people are crazy but thats ok because now they think that all Irish people are lunatic alcaholics:p

    Hey guys, I won't be able to make it for declaring my 500 off the road today. On friday I'll plan on doing it, but just wondering what the cost will be? I got the book just last week and the date of sale is 11/09/13 so it will be one months arrears, or am I mistaken?

    Also, free lab wheeee!

    Yeah you'll have to pay for September anyway, possibly October too as you have to declare it off the road in advance

    I seen some nice cars this weekend on my travels, a red audi A8 for sale on the side of the road:eek:

    And I got passed out by an english reg porsche that just howled past me on the A1 last night, I was doing 150(km) and he passed me like I was sitting still:D

    I also seen the most dangerous overtake ever, a modified mk2 golf went around me and my mate in front on the outside of a nearly hairpin right turn. Ive never seen a golf oversteer round a bend before. And yes there was something coming and a 50m drop into the forest on the outside of the bend.
    But Im still alive so Its all good.

    If the car has been off the road transfer the car into a sibling/parents etc name and when they receive the log, transfer it back into yours.
    Then you'll only be liable for the tax from when it was transferred back into your name.

    Disclaimer: I didn't touch the car ( yet :pac:) but wouldn't mind a chat and a look at it if he is around :)
