    Is it bad that I want a Toyota IQ? :o

    Na I wanted one for ages, they were and still are a little too expensive though for me, the ones on donedeal never seem to sell either.

    I just washed my car using the old school, one bucket method:D
    I'm sure MM will be along shortly to admonish me:pac:
    There is more tar on my car than there is on some roads! The one plus of owning a black car, no detar necessary.

    An acceptable price, above what I would have gotten for the 535d so all in all I came out well from my swap in January.

    I'm looking to replace it now. Currently looking at cadillac STS's but there aren't all that many even in the UK.

    Great to hear :)

    Cadillac STS, never heard of them. Looks like the CTS's little brother or something?

    What about a Volvo AE/340/86?

    Looking to spend no more than 15-20% of the asking price of that tbh. Cool jeep though, ripe for commercial conversion!

    Family member was putting her baby (15 months) into the back of the car and the baby must have had the keys. Anyway baby was strapped in and the mother closes the door, baby then decides to mess with the keys and double lock the car, with only herself inside. About half an hour passes as the mother tries to coax the baby to press the unlock button to open the car :pac: (fat chance). Spare keys were at home about three hours away. They find a mechanic who tries to get a bit of wire in the door to pull up the clip, but no use. But he was able to grab the keys, which at this point the baby had dropped on the floor. Now don't ask me why or how, because I haven't seen the car yet, but the mechanic "bent the door so that he could get the keys out". If it was me, I would have smashed the glass in a window. Anyway, funny story :pac: Moral - keep hold of your keys at all times if ye have young children!

    Very easy to bend the door back. I done it loads of times on different cars. Not my own. I had a bit of a nack for doing it.

    Well that was an interesting trip....! I managed to fill a bin full in the middle of the street after clearing my boot :D

    One of the lads put a coffee cup on my towbar and despite getting knocked off over a speed bump in Athlone, I put it back and it's still on the hitch when I arrived home :cool:

    I've been to Newry since along with various trips to and from Navan, it's still there! :D:D:D

    It's a McDonalds cup btw :pac:
