I hope alls well! Take it handy over the next few days, it might take a while for injuries to show!

Cheers and will do. I'm well battered. Think the helmet took the worst if it all however so at least it done its job. Just remembering what happened. Pedestrian crossed the road in front of a van and neither of us saw each other. I jammed the brakes and done an R. Kelly on it.

Is the seller dodgy here or is he just being trolled by the scum you get on Adverts?

X5 and Touareg are a completely different size and class to an Evoque. Personally I found the Evoque to be very small on the inside.

That's the concern, I think the X5 would be unnecessarily big, but is the RR too small?? He'll have to test drive it and see for himself I suppose, I can only make suggestions to him!

I think the mix up has come from the tax office for that car.
I've seen a few times that they've registered a car differently than what it actually is.
I mean that Golf doesn't even have front fog lights so I seriously doubt it's an Anniversary.
I think it's a case of the seller not having a clue more than being dodgy.

Powerbulbs are reputable, often do special offers too.

Sounds like you were concussed. Have you been seen yet?

Stylistically it seemed to go for an enveloping/smothering type theme added to the raked roof made it feel a lot more compact than the Freelander from which it gets most of its DNA.

Poor man is convinced he has an anniversary. Wrong number of doors and wrong colour and thats only the start of it. BTW mk4 fogd are intergrated into the headlight. None came from factory with the lower ones.

Still waiting on a ct scan. Phone battery almost gone

On my way to college this morning at the dunkettle just where the hard shoulder ends and it goes to 3 lanes a guard on a motor bike had a guy in an old micra pulled in as he was pointing at the tax discs I'm assuming the guard was doing him for no tax / nct. Your man was pure going crazy outside the car over it at the guard. Tow truck arrived to take the car away. It was kind of unfair on the guard the guy going mad at him hardly the guards fault the car wasn't taxed or Nct'd. It was nice to see the system working and someone having to deal with the consequences of breaking the law.

Saw the worst car mod over the weekend.

I dunno, I was driving in finglas glasnevin area and saw a black BMW 6 series with fluorescent green alloys and matching rear wing like something off a JGTC car. A 6 series is a Marmite car at the best of times.

Dord · 13-10-2014 05:29PM

Just saw a really nice black lupo gti in Dublin city centre beside liberty hall. Awesome little thing!

Dartz · 13-10-2014 05:46PM

Apologies to whomever that was behind me on the Ongar road, I was bedding in a new set of brake pads.

Your mention of the JGTC just made you look very interesting man

@tp - That's crap man I hope that finishes it at least!

@dartz - If you were sticking the car to the road in front of someone that's pretty bad form, I'd go mental if you done that to me :eek:

Not gluing it to the road. Just scuffing the surface of the pads against the disks, so I had just enough pressure on the pedal to make the brakelights come on while holding a constant speed.

Could see him slowly backing off away from me.

I wasn't daft enough to jam on and frighten the ****e out of someone. Always made sure it was clear behind.

Ah right the way you said it I thought you were welding it to the road

Shouldn't be expensive to fix?

If that's since before school time and you have VHI then you'd have been better off in the Beacon or Blackrock.

Speeding! I'd say 120/130 in a 100

It's obviously a stitch up, as if I would speed :pac:
