This I found amusing, I tried getting a quote on a car that is, older, slower, smaller engined than my saab, it's a 91 2 litre, and I can't be quoted on it :rolleyes: could just about get a policy on my one now as it was a "high performance veeehickle" so I wonder what the excuse will be with this one :rolleyes:

"well it's the same age as yourself, and the oul tax isn't great on it now is it? you'd be better off with a nice oul corsa"

Welcome to the 20 and over game, it's hard but rewarding.

most insurers won't quote for cars in daily use that are over 20 years old

Yeah - it was difficult getting anyone to quote me when I was planning to daily the carina, and that is 20 next year.
Those that would quote were really cheap though (liberty)

would like to see what statute gives them the power to seize a car for dangerous driving. I don't think it exists.

Fúcking bull shít. I don't see anything wrong with doing a few donuts at the top of the road.

Well it's not great carryon on a main(ish) road but I don't have a problem with it happening in a carpark or somewhere quiet.

CianRyan · 02-06-2014 11:40AM

I was down that road a few weeks back, bought a car down there with a few lads.
The guys we bought it off text us as we were driving down that road to say they had freshly painted it in the car we just bought. :pac:

It usually happens at night. And those roads do be dead at night. And you would usually know a car is coming at night and just stop and pull in and when they go start again once they pass.

Yep, on a road like that you see the lights a few minutes before they get there.

YbFocus · 02-06-2014 11:49AM

Totally agree lads no harm once they have a good field of view, ain't annoying houses nearby and know when to stop

In fact I'm all for a bit of harmless fun!

MortGoldman · 02-06-2014 12:11PM

Wait, so donuts on public roads are cool now? Oh.

Yep, they have been since about the 1950s.

Ever since hotrods became a thing, burning tyres and leaving black marks on the road has become a part of the modified motorists nightlife.
This hasn't popped up over night, not even in Ireland.

It's not even that it's "cool", it's just fun.

Even look at the american muscle car scene. From the early '60s if not before, they were doing burnouts and such.

I know it's fun, I used to do it, until I realised that doing it on roads was moronic. I'm all in favour of fun, but not on roads, pretty much regardless of where/when or how quiet you think a road is.

String · 02-06-2014 12:34PM

It's idiotic on public roads. People could be walking and I have come across people doing them late at night where I had to stop and wait for them to finish. My gf had a **** attack cause she was afraid one time when someone was sliding all over the place behind her. This forum is starting to look like midnight club or the like.

Not quite the same thing as 'diffin' at a crossroads at 3am in a wrecked AE86 though, is it? And then claiming it's safe cos 'sure ya can see whether somethings coming'

The reason I hate this forum is that its full of kids especially this thread, and ya I know if I don't like it don't read it...:rolleyes:

CianRyan · 02-06-2014 12:48PM

Don't see many wrecked AE86's in Ireland to be fair, lads that love their cars (especially ones that cost around €10K) don't tend to wreck them...

You joined less than a year ago and you've been here almost every day since, bit of a sadist?

Some amount of wrecked ones around where I am, oddly mostly rear quarter panel area damage, wonder how that happened.

I see plenty of cheap cars, 318's, Omegas, C200's with the damage you describe but I call bull**** on tht statement in relation to anything tht cost the owner more than €2000.

Yeah? Well that backs up my point really.
You hate it so much that you decided to rereg?

Why? Is it unbelievable that someone who buys an AE86 doesn't buy it for a particular purpose?

Supergurrier · 02-06-2014 01:24PM

I love doughnuts tbh.

Especially those melt in the mouth ones from country markets.

Mmm doughnuts...

YbFocus · 02-06-2014 01:29PM

This is getting insane around here in fairness.

Kaiser D · 02-06-2014 01:35PM

Some of the carry on around here as of late is properly laughable.
