    I'm up for meeting again, Athlone is local enough :)

    Drifting was great today but there was an outrageous amount of silly people in silly cars getting in the way and causing flags :(

    €70 in petrol over about an hour, Cleveland you think your machine is bad!
    2 days on the trot with no hassle, let it keep going!

    A meet in Athlone? Sure why not, probably the same distance for me to go to Port Lousy! Stickers at this is a great idea, I'll need a few :D:D:D

    Hi lads!

    Haven't been here in a while, finally got myself a laptop again, and a motor, and a little bit of spare time!

    Hope all the same faces are still here. :)

    Sticking to my recent 4wd ways, here's my current lug:

    3.0 v6 petrol manual, wanted a 3.5 but couldn't get one half as cheap as this dog. Should be changing again shortly so i'll give ya an update when it happens :D

    Rather frustratingly, the rattle that was present in the engine and sounded like the cam chain for the best part of a month, has disappeared. I don't know whether to be happy, or suspicious.

    Disintegration imminent!
    Did you not get it checked by a pro?

    I've decided albeit a bit late that this was my summer driving song, it was playing on the way up to the glendalough meet so yeah! Seemed appropriate

    Lesson; don't drive your supercar uninsured and then hit a cyclist. Not ending well for anyone.
