Lads can any of you link me to a site that can calculate the VRT rebate on a car?

There is one on the revenue website. IIRC

Cheers Muppetcheck must ring in morning do you know does he call out or need to go to him?

Whenever I need him I usually meet him in Midleton on Saturday morning. Drop the car and go for breakfast and he's usually done in an hour. If there's anything else say it to him - he can spot things you might not even have seen too.

He works out of Barry Williams bodyshop down there, turn left at the lights and immediately right when you take the first Midleton exit. Absolute gent and won't put you wrong.

Think I saw your car in Mahon Point before Christmas, worth keeping that right!

Same one as usual, click VRT export enquiry.
OMSP must be over €2000 and they take €500

Maybe you should try understand rather than being obtuse for the sake of it.

Lol, birds of feather

Hmmmm. What can you do it a particular car isn't on their list?

I got a stretch of road to check out boost in 4th with the U310 map to see what it felt like under full load. Then went back to normal brisk pace

Looked in rear mirror 5 seconds later to see a black cross C gaining on me fast (wasn't a sinner in rear view mirror before) god knows how fast it was going

He's usually on the road during the week between garages I think. Worth a shot though. Rather than catching someone between jobs id give him time to look around it on a Saturday.

Some fecker got his van clamped in the carpark under my apartment. He's removing half the front of it trying to get the clamp off. I just heard a hammer pounding metal...

Ads for AIG car insurance, has anyone looked at those ads and thought "I should support this company and get my insurance with them"

Yeah i tried to support them with my money, so i rang them up, and they wouldn't support me, so they can fcuk right off :pac:

colm_mcm · 02-02-2014 05:49PM

I'd pay slightly more to not have my insurance with them. I know there's some law in the UK and Ireland where the ads have to be annoying (see Aviva, Churchill, go compare, Sheila's wheels, no nonsense, confused.com) but this is just stupid.

toastedpickles · 02-02-2014 05:51PM

The worst ones have to be them go compare ones, or the ones here with pat short in them, lord they wreck my head

Don't forget Axa and a...ah...ah...Allianz.

Got my HB4 LED's in today into the spots, look lovely and a nice little upgrade!

I'll get a pic up when the phone charges itself. Only the HID's to get now and I'm done on my bulb quest!

Edit: Threw it into the photo thread

If no one has brought one in before you, you get to be the guinea pig for it...

Generally they will then somewhat humourously go for what the OMSP is in the UK as it's the closest and most 'mirrorable' market. Which doesn't help us much due to the tax brackets used there and the fact larger engined and older cars hold their value much better there (as well as everywhere else).

Sounds like a whole barrel of fun tbh.

There are 1 or 2 Ute's in Ireland with the 5.7 engine are there not ?

Possibly, but they aren't Monaro's are they? You'd need there to be the exact same model brought in before for there to be a record of it. :rolleyes:
