The first time :P, which was months ago. Thankfully I'm pretty good at countersteering. Seems to be worse recently though, got at least half-lock a few nights ago there.
What I have actually noticed is it's easier to get the arse out with TC on, but when you do it kills the power.If your pushing it out of a roundabout you have to be ready for the inevitable
I don't even mean taking the mickey like.0 -
Today I saw Alan in his E46, or more accurately he saw me (cue us both waving like excited children :pac:) unfortunately I was cycling, the shame:(
In other slightly exciting news, my dad took delivery of a Kia Optima today. Nice enough car, unfortunately it's silver with black leather but it does have a really good spec 0 -

Done, I got well used to flying around traffic cycling home from work that way. :pac:
Race you all the way to Tallaght!
I'll stop in Harolds Cross and get the Levin
I should point out that cycling isn't one of my hobbies, It just happens to be the fastest way in and out of college. Certainly not the the lycra arse type!0 -

Car failed NCT on a worn rear offside bushing.
Now I'm confused here, are bushes/bushings interchangeable terms?
My car has two (to me) bushes on each side, yet the chap talked about bushings?
Same things, most of the time the bush can be replaced and the new one pressed in.
Other times there is a small frame that comes with the bush in it that is replaced.
I'd still call that a good run through stheno, could have been worse 0 -

I'm well chuffed tbh, have the car booked in for a mega service next week, spark plugs, all filters, all fluids being replaced, few other jobs that need doing being done. (even down to console/dash lights and exterior lights on the doors that need replacing)
With bushes on my car, the originals were harsh on the subframe so I need to make sure I get powerflex ones which have a rubber ending compared to the originals which were steel
My mechanic had a bitch of a job today replacing the bonnet hinge, it's bolted onto the door!0 -

She'll be perfect after all that work
I'd be chuffed if that's all my car fails on come next April, I want to poly the whole back of my car too as the Bmw's slaughter the standard bushes.
Before I bought my car I checked the rear bushes and the service history to make sure they were powerflex
I was delighted tbh, car is due a major service and booked in for it, I was expecting far worse
Normal bushes on the rear of a gtv mean a subframe replacement!0 -
