Continuation from motors chat round 5

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Ha Ha, yep it does look a touch lowered but I don't know why you'd bother lowering a yolk that little. When you're doing it at all at least make it noticeable.

No don't want to, just want the alloys, it's just that some say that if you put them alloys on a non-ST focus it makes the car sit too high.

The 17's sit a bit higher so many put on the lowering springs. I have the eibach pro springs on mine, and it does sit and handle heaps better. The only set back is with the bigger wheel size is that fuel consumption will suffer a bit not much though. I noticed this when I put mine back on after winter.

Well, I am down to one car now. No more Mazda.

Sat in the car outside the old Montrose and a 2003 S55AMG just roared past.

A mechanic today tried to convince me I should get 1.9 TDI instead of 1.8T 20V.

The speed-sign says 50kph! Why in Gods' name are people mad to get from A->B so fast!
I indicate to pull into left-hand hard shoulder to let them off & not flippin' drive into the back of me.
Next-time I don't care what uniform you're wearing, if they wanna keep the speed up entering a town and almost ram me; why not just pass the fcuk out or back off! I've my Mom in the car with me & we've just come from my Late Loving Dad's Grave!

Ticked off with the un-professional driving of certain uniformed personnel this evening,

I hope you told him to go and shíte. It may be a solution for some now but many buy them for the poor reasons. Fair enough if you have a long commute or travel for a living though.

Are you def finished, I mean is there any chance of a resolution?
If no chance then don't live together, it'll get too complicated. Ye'll only hold each other back.

Big Nasty

Always, always beneficial to talk dude, even if you're just ranting to randomers on the interwebs. Get it out, it'll help - even just a little.

YbFocus

Sorry to hear Shadow, but if you're not getting back together then get out of that house.
That'll be a toxic situation in no time and it'll do neither of you any good

ShadowHearth

No way we will get back together. She just said "I have no feelings for you anymore", thats it. I am having a very ****y streak laely, but it was nice to know that the only thing in your life that was not ****ed just dumped you, instead help you out.

I cant afford a place on my own and this house is very cheap and nice. I have no where to go too.

YbFocus

Brought the car out for a quick spin tonight, roads are slightly greasy.
Nothing like having the power to rev in third like your clutched!

Bloody thing drives itself, impossibly easy to drive

Big Nasty

Dude, it's very difficult to deal with. I've a bro in law that found out his wife was cheating on him after 12 years of marriage. He was in a very bad place initially and had to be watched by friends and family. That was a couple years back but today he's in a much better place with a girl who loves and respects him.

There are three kids involved too which he didn't get to see much of during the whole process. Funny thing is that now all is sorted they spend more time with him than her. Says a lot really.

Go sleep on a mates couch. Honestly get out if there for a few days and steady yourself.

And please don't go for a permanent solution to a temporary problem. There's so much support available so make use of it

Been there, no magic words or remedy, but time does heal all.

@shadowhearth, +1 get out of that house, even if it doesn't seem practical, you got to do it!

A few lads offered me to crash at their place if needed. I wont though, I was a burden enough last night.
If I will be able, I will find a room somewhere. Who knows, maybe she will move out. She says, that she does not have anyone else, but I call bull**** on it. She was constantly on her phone for last year. God I hate facebook.

+1 You won't be able to think clearly untill you do. I sorted out somewhere else to live from a mates house, then went back and got my stuff. Weird moving into a house with a load of random folk but if they're anyway sound it'll be good for you.

You're friends won't find you a burden at times like this. Honestly, go stay somewhere for a few days and clear the head. Nobody would mind a friend staying in these circumstances. If I had my own place in Dublin I'd give you a couch!

I hate to say it but you need out of the house ASAP and to cut communications for a few days to let everything settle a bit so your head can clear.
