It's made by beretta, and it's semi automatic;)

Every single day this spanner parks in the same place. It's bloody annoying, especially for traffic turning right.
And apparently "Yeah, but it'll be no great loss if it does." is not the right answer when a Garda asks you tf you know what would happen to the collapsible steel workbenches on the back seat behind you if you had an accident.0 -

This octavia has really impressed me. I know it's only a normal car and nothing like most cars that people have on here. But for a 9 year old car it's just unbelievable feels like a 2 year old car to drive no suspension noises and it's just a comfortable car to cruise along in. Not too bad in daysul either took this pic when I got home tonight impressive for a 9 year old car and 150km of that was short trips tipping around Kilkenny. I'm sorry I'll try not to talk about it anymore I know most will think its very boring

I'll just go to Navan to see some diffin and roundabout drifting, the weekends are great for that although it's quieter during the weekdays

That's skid pans on GTV's, his arms are a fraction of that price
His have been broken that much they have been written off
The rear control arm (think that's the right term) that the polybushes (which come seperate OEM) on my car cost €440 a pop
The bushes cost €60 for four!
Had a most pleasant day today, taxed both cars, sorted out getting the OHs brakes done (it was not pleasant hitting traffic lights at 60mph in Belfast last week, then I put on my domestic goddess hat and cooked 21 days worth of lunches and dinners.
Meanwhile the gtv is filthy, and full of damp sailing clothes OH can wash it this weekend take out the nasty clothes, and wash those too.0 -

Yep, spring pans. Expensive buggers
One rear bush for the 166 costs an eye watering £90 :eek::eek::eek: Thank fook some E class parts fit in its place!
Also on brakes, swapped a wheel cylinder on the Seicento in about 10 mins from setting up, wheel off, drum off, cylinder off and in reverse with bleeding and cleaning up the tools. Needless to say, no pics :pac:0 -

Holy fook is that the arm that costs about 500 quid? Have you no warranty?
And feck you with the dodgy knee comment, that knee worked fine in -45 degrees, I'd like to see you creak along in that cold :P
Nah, front upper control arms approx €100.
Original part went replaced with one from GSF lasted <10k km
Replaced with Febi part has lasted <5k km (in fairness it's still working, it's just creaking and groaning like a bastard.) Yes the parts are warranty it appears that most spurious control arms are muck. Being replaced with an Alfa part next week.
My knees work fine at any temp
Although I did come back from my first trip to Dallas with pneumonia:eek: after catching some weird flu bug.0 -

That's not too bad,
apart from my knee I've a dodgy hip, but the past three weeks I've been working and talking non stop so my voice is now fecked
Had to call in sick this morning at 7am not sure they understood me, had to follow up with texts and mails
On the plus side first sick day in a year, I half worked responding to mails/texts, did a pile of cooking too.
Thinking of calling new mechanic tomorrow to gauge how I like him (I can't abide depending on people I don't like)0 -
