I just went where Google Maps told me to go. :P

A toll to me is that thing where you stop and pay for the barrier to open up. You see, I'm not very familiar with Dublin.

You should t have gone on the m50 at all the way you went. Should have stayed on the n4 all the way to St. John's road west.

Spent a couple hours watching top gear while cleaning my throttle body (don't ask)

So after 7 faultless drift events, yesterday we began to lose the gearbox and clutch, then towards the evening the turbo let go in 2 seconds flat. Big big bills on route!

Ouch that ain't good. Won't be fun repairing either.

We're running 300bhp on the nose with great response, the internals won't like much more anyway. I think it'll be a rebuild as the housing looks fine! The clutch though, we were running a high capacity single and we thought it was fine. Oh well. The box will not be changed until it loses drive :-)

Going to superdrift on sunday?

YbFocus · 15-07-2014 04:34PM

We normally would as tynagh is great but perhaps you should study my earlier posts and then factor in my ability to fix the car before then (0) :-)

I meant even for the craic, rather than taking the car out :P

YbFocus · 15-07-2014 04:44PM

Probably be taking this apart plus a big party saturday night probably means no, will you be in attendance?

challengemaster · 15-07-2014 04:45PM

I'm tempted. Mix of boredom and procrastination kicking in

Noccy_Mondy · 15-07-2014 05:30PM

Chris_Heilong · 15-07-2014 07:32PM

Went to lidl, got some stuff. Also my camber arm arrived so will put my car in to get fixed on Thursday, still waiting for the shocks from Japan but they can be done later.

You will have a large bill for drift cars shortly after

challengemaster · 15-07-2014 08:00PM

Stop tempting me to go to all these things :pac:

Are there usually passo spins at Superdrift?

Don't pay, just wait for me to get this fixed. It'll be completely free all day!!
Other than that it's like €20 for 2 laps!

Walshey96 · 15-07-2014 08:05PM

Anyone have an idea what the normal waiting time is for the driving test?

Try the learner section Walshey, or at least I have no clue anyway.

To the chap drive the matt black e60 on the Nangor road earlier today, a quad exhaust does turn your 4 pot diesel into an m5 :pac:

ofcork · 15-07-2014 08:12PM

There is a white one in cork,the 4 exhausts are in the wrong place a giveaway.

GvidoR · 15-07-2014 08:42PM

Isn't that a bit overpriced?

Saw a Ded_Zebra in Terrenure this morning. I'm sure he was perplexed as to why a cyclist was giving him a thumbs up!

Didn't even see you

Sorry

The Primera is a nice yoke isn't I'm embarrassed it wasn't cleaner now :pac:

Camera-van parked on the N25/11 somewhere around Wexford there this evening. Can't recall exactly where - I think between both roundabouts.

Saw a few people making an overtake of a caravan coming towards it from the other side. Gave 'em a few flashes of the headlights and saved them each 80 quid.
