    We're using balsa wood, bought like 30 quids worth there yesterday :pac: I think i cleared out the art shops in the immediate area :P

    Surly you must be almost finished college for Christmas. I'm finished tomorrow :D Although lectures finished last Friday I have a group project that had to be done this week and handed in tomorrow. No bridge building unfortunately though just a thermo report on how changed in ambient conditions effect heat transfer. It was as fun to do as it sounds :pac: although could be a long day tomorrow as I'm leaving at 7 for cork won't be home till well after 10pm as I have to attend an awards thing in the evening time. Can't wait to be fully finished and have a bit of time off. I'd say the focus hasn't been cleaned in two months :pac: so I need to spend a good day going over it.

    Anyone ever use them colour touch up pens in halfords they sell them for the make colour of the car. I bought one a few months ago and I'm half afraid to use it as I don't want to do more harm than good. It's just for a few small marks on the car nothing major.

    I might look into the ones ford sell I assume these can only be got from the main dealers and there nowhere on line that does them. I'm not that particularly bothered about a few marks here and there always more worried about the mechanics side of things. But still would be nice to touch up a few of them.

    Well you're just running about it, when you have to measure the width of footpaths, get boundaries, locate sewers, place everything where it is to the millimeter, specify transport routes, roads, surrounding infrastructure, access points, and a heap of other stuff, it is :P them feckin windmills had my heart broken

    What course are you doing sounds interesting in fairness. The trip up to cork is grand I'm so use to doing it at this stage 152km each way door to door. Provided you don't hit too much traffic in cork it's a grand drive m8 is generally quiet and clonmel isn't to bad to go through.

    The M8 is the most eye gougingly boring road to drive in this country.

    I know I drive it twice a week. It I'm on it for about 90km ish then I get of at clonmel and take back road to callan/ Kilkenny and I live near callan so i never actually have to go into Kilkenny City. The back roads are nice to drive I could take the motorway the whole way to urlingford and then get of put it would be very boring to be on it that long.

    Basically the whole Dublin-Cork road. Around Cashel there's a sign saying it's still 99km to Cork, always makes me swear. A lot.

    I hate dull motorways with a passion. Unless you've a few good mates in the car to stop you getting bored and/or falling asleep.

    Commuting on the present wagon to college everyday means I know when to wake up. Have fallen asleep on the bus manys a time and always wake up 2 stops from mine, going into or out of town.




    Unfortunately this doesn't work when I'm drinking as I've got the nightlink home a few times and woke up in maynooth.

    Saw an ad for a a6 1.8t diesel. What is that?
    The description said 1.8t 1.9tdi. Was the engine changed in it or something?

    Cheers

    Keeps calling it a 1.8t diesel.

    There is another one on DD. A 1.8t sport with a black roof that runs on diesel.

    Must be engine swaps but they won't say engine swaps
