Thàt's the Viper engine? My local Indy maintains one and told me it has one through a clutch every year as it can't deal with the power. I don't think he's trying it on as he's been fairly hesitant to push extra work on me even when I've wanted it.

Aye but that one is an auto (I think, I've looked at so many trucks this morning lol)

@ Max Cleveland

Ring wilsons auctions in Mallusk. This yoke has been there for a while, you may get it for peanuts. It's a diesel yoke, I think it does about 6 mpg

I went to buy a 320d there that was full Magherafelt but had no engine when I was young and foolish. It wasn't listed and was there a while, I asked and they wanted a pretty penny for it....

Best to ring and ask. I think it's a repo... Wilsons auctions Mallusk. Just in Belfast

Here's the reg

'Murica :pac:

Kaiser D · 28-10-2013 05:01PM

Even by 'Murican standards, thats bloody huge.

Really cool though, I wonder how many parking spots that'd take up in a carpark.

Cleveland Hot Pocket · 28-10-2013 05:03PM

That is the definition of a Monster truck

Color me impressed. I will send an email in.

You can forget multi-storeys anyway!

Especially Dublin Airport, yikes that place is narrow.

Considering I work for a large american owned multinational, that will look very nice indeed parked outside. Although I couldn't run it as a daily driver whereas I could run the LPG dodge as a daily if the 20 mpg shows to be accurate.

It is a UK reg in the photo - but as I said I can't see it listed anywhere on the site
I've sent in an email so lets see if I get a response

That's what I thought. Motorcheck tells me that it's a Jag XK8. mywheels tells me that it's a Porsche 911..

Let's see indeed.

These were also there the last time, also not listed. Government repo stuff

Cleveland Hot Pocket · 28-10-2013 05:19PM

wow some nice stuff there. I'd nearly be tempted to head for a spin up there

Obviously it was a vanity reg, so the owner sold it on perhaps.

Of course, forgot that can be done in the UK.

Was behind a nice 135i there while filling the work van with daysul.

Was it the M135i or do they do a non M model?

CianRyan · 28-10-2013 07:57PM

There's a non m version. Seen one a few times in Dublin, seems to JB a fairly free flowing pipe past the turbo!

sean1141 · 28-10-2013 08:35PM

As some of ye may know I changed the seats in the fabia for octavia vrs ones so I was left with the old ones. Decided today to make use of one.

colm_mcm · 28-10-2013 08:39PM

That's class

Have you tried leaning back in it!

Any pics of the new seats in?

sean1141 · 28-10-2013 08:42PM

Not to far lol. The wheels are a little to far to the front. Ill have to bring them back to give it better balance but Im sitting in it as i type this and I havent fell out yet!!

That was some crash on the A1 outside Newry earlier.... Artic hit a tractor and trailer :eek:

Couple that with bank holiday eejits meant the entire city was gridlocked..... Thank goodness so few people know the backroads around the city though :pac:

I passed that crash on my way to Banbrige, jesus the wreckage of that tractor was something to behold, trailer jackknifed and it looked like the suspension collapsed, before it hit the crash barrier, I seriously hope the driver is ok.

Then of course, not knowing the back roads in Newry I got stuck in the chaos, had a nice diversion to the quays and all was well

What time were you there at? I think I was there just after 1, I thought the lorrey hit the wall until I went round the corner.... I went to Tesco for food, traffic heading in was just at the entrance to the park, when I went back out 5 mins later traffic was back to Clarkes :eek:

Next time you're stuck head to Camlough, then Meigh then Newry again for the A1 if you want to dodge traffic. Leaves you at the south end of Newry

Passed the accident at 2, got stuck in Newry at about 4, got out of there at 5:30!

What exactly happened? Did the lorry chance upon the tractor and shunt if off the road? It looked horrid when I passed it.
