Continuation from motors chat round 6

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.

I'd drive a car that did 100 mpg even if it took an hour to get to 40 mph. Fuel efficiency is my priority.

Most of you prefer acceleration?

Brought the car out for a speed run.
0-160 kms 18 seconds. Not bad I suppose, I kinda choked up the revs for a split second in first gear.

Anyone ever hear of or use the brand tiger tyres? I'm bearing in mind the saying "if you've never heard of them, they're probably shyte" :P

Someone mentioned them earlier in Cinos tyre thread. Look down a few pages. Think they were fitted to a van.

Might be a silly question but do cars in Belfast have Uk or irish reg or can it be either..

Tends to be about 20/80 Irish/NI plates going by the amount of time I've spent in Belfast rush hour.

If it's an NI based car it should have an NI plate

Gavman84

Nice St in Donegal but if uk reg forget it be rode on vrt!

davycc

ni regs usually have 3 letters followed by 3-4 numbers easy to tell from the uk "mainland" plates

Big Nasty

They have a different reg layout in Norn Iron than 'The Mainland', no?

Gavman84

Cheers bloody garage plates on every car so can't tell!

Belfast is officially part of the Uk so if it was registered there it'll be Uk.

Actually the North of Ireland has its own number plate system but DVLANI has now be centralised in Cardiff

Anyone any suggestions for going rate for 2010 focus St? Or expected cost to change from 2009 Accord type S 2.0?

Chris_Heilong

I was just looking at some of the Channels like Autocar and the like, they only seem to review highend unafordable cars with coments like "and it only cost £80,000.", personally for me these cars are not even on my radar and that alienates me somewhat, I like cars I might be driving in the near future and that means under €10,000 2nd hand.

So I thought aboout what I would like to watch and for me personally I would love for youtube to have a channel that just reviews Japanese imports, a different car each show featuring cars like the 240Z up to the R34 GTR, a sister Channel could just do reviews of classic American muscle.

Seen the same thing when I was coming back from Trim, I was following a ford(think it was a Focus) and the guy driving the slow vehicle pulled over and let us pass, the ford put on his hazards to thank him.

All I can say having watched that video is ho ho ho!

that's given it some mean sound!

Chris_Heilong

Well, here is the exhaust, not the loudest but it is a big improvement over what I had. I attached a video for the sound. To be honest it is a bit ridicules in size as I was worried the one I originally wanted might be lost on a car as big as the Chaser but it is hard to know what way it will look when fully finished.
