Fair point,

Well this morning I was in naas hospital car park when some genius tried to reverse her tank, I mean audi A8, and started getting a bit too close for my liking, beeped the horn at her and she got out and had a little hissy fit until I pointed out she was millimeters away from an insurance claim, she was about 5mm away from my bumper, like on the corner of the car, threw me some evils and drove off :rolleyes:

There seems to be an awful lot of this happening lately, especially to people on here

Try parking as far away from the entrance Exit as possible, you can avoid all the idiots but there is a higher chance your car will not get destroyed.

In Ireland you cannot so much as beep at somebody to say hello or they'll likely blow a gasket.

Yeah car park rules are as far away from door as possible.
On another crazy motoring related note, proceeded to stop at an amber light yesterday, as 1) technically you should and 2) I could see I wasn't going to clear the junction anyway. As traffic has completely stopped in front of me. Guy behind me beeps gives me the finger and drives around me cuts off three cars and then has to slam on.

1pm of an afternoon, why the rush!

Clearly I have missed to much to catch up on around here!

Last time I was around it was motors chat 3

I've just spotted an MG3 and I'm glad to report they look well.

I used to use Tyreland too Chris but found them too expensive!
The last time I wanted tyres I went to Big Nasty but there was none available but then tried centrepoint tyres and got a great tyre (5-6mm) for €45, that was a Dunlop sportmaxx in 255 35 19.
About half the price of Tyreland!

Damn thats Cheap for 19s.

Just looking at this and it looks like a fantastic drive, maybe we can organize this drive for a future boards meet up?

That would definitely result in a crash :pac:

Nice shot, looks like that road off the old military road in the wicklow mountains

Also a good road! Love a good spin up from Bray and left back into Laragh and onto Blessington!

Yeah there are a load of nice country roads out that way - out by ashford to the sally gap to poulaphouca and the lakes.

I usually just go out for a drive and make random turns in the directions of the mountains till I find a good road.

You should come in for a cuppa :pac:

You should leave your Levin near your gate so we know which house is yours.

That wouldn't work at my house. The gate isn't onto the road but you can see my house from the road! If you are down that way in the chaser you know who to call!
