    Mine will be! Obnoxiously loud! :D

    My Exhaust would disappoint alot here, its almost completely quiet, the super smooth inline 6 engine does not help with the noise either. Another thing to rectify in the new year.

    Sounds good. Where do you recommend I buy them and the wheel sealant ?

    CleanCar. The C5 Wheel Armor and C1 Crystal Lacquer are the exact same thing. The C1 is better value though, €30 for 15ml Wheel Armour, €55 for 30ml Crystal Lacquer.

    C1 Crystal Lacquer

    EXO v2 Hybrid Coating

    Panel Wipe

    While dreaming about Lotto wins the other day, I was thinking how ridiculous it would be to have to shtick up the tax, insurance and NCT discs to a Lambo for example. (It's my dream, don't care what ye all think :P)

    What did I just see roaring up Parnell St? An 08 D white Gallardo, which I've never seen before. :D

    Didn't see the windscreen though..

    Could you imagine bringing that to an NCT test center? Heart in mouth stuff!

    I'd love to know how they do test that kind of stuff. Given they nearly took the front bumper off my car dropping it into the rollers to do the brake tests, I can't imagine it being very kind on anything that's actually low.

    I was wondering that too then.

    I came to the conclusion that this country probably isn't the best even for my Lotto winning Lambo or whatever. :pac:

    They don't put them on the rollers for the brake test, damages LSD's.

    They also missed the front of mine by sheer millimeters on a couple of occasions.
    I literally nearly fainted when it happened I was so wound up!

    I do be the exact same anytime any of my cars have gone in for the nct I literally follow it along the line by going down along the windows, I do be amazed by the amount of people sitting back nonchalant about the whole thing.


    On exhaust noise the noise of he 330i is quite pleasant on the ears :) have had a few people comment on it but will admit the 335i does sound better.

    I'm the same. I'm nearly certain the guys in the NCT centre say "oh look, it's this guy again" :o

    The technician was calling the other lads over to check out the rear doors on my RX8, they asked me if the MPS was FWD or 4WD because they got confused between it and the 3 MPS.

    When I got the 335 I asked them not to use the glass to close the door and when closing the bonnet, to let it drop from about 6 inches instead of pushing down on top of it as this does cause dents.

    He didn't like that.....

    Apart from that I've never had a bad experience with them and I'm the only one watching my car while everyone else sits down and reads!

    Well I spent my afternoon/evening at somebody's house that most of you know. Drove his new car and it is fooking gorgeous! It's another 156, but this one is black. There is another major difference between this one and the old one ;)

    He is. but no hat today. The exhaust on his new car isn't currently connected to silencers of any kind so if you heard a wonderful noise around the south Dublin area it was us! :D:cool:
