Sure who wants a fast car when you could have something like this instead!
(looks like a radio controlled toy in the main photo!).
I'm definitely buying an SUV or jeep sometime in the future and lifting the bollocks out of it and slapping silly big 4x4 wheels on it. I'd say they're great craic to wobble around in.

If you want to go down that route your best off buying an isuzu d-max , its the same as a chevy colorado in the US where theyre lift mad, so kits would be a lot easier to get than some of the other 4x4s around0 -

Well at least they're reliable. This one's still going strong for it's age!

In all seriousness it'd probably be a few years before I ever do it (it'll probably be my midlife crisis) but it's definitely on the to do list. I'd say they cost an arm and a leg to run though (bigger, wheels, big engine etc. i'd say they're not exactly economical!
). But sure that's half the fun, I suppose! 0 -

Testing the brakes? Making sure the right foot is still awake? Was in Dublin over the weekend (again) and knew I had the dreaded 15 mins spin between Newlands cross and Naas on the way home. BRAKE ACCELERATOR BRAKE ACCELERATOR BRAKE ACCELERATOR on a bloody motorway (most of it)! And no, I wasn't driving too fast. /rant :mad:
See the trick is to be an utter cnut to them all, and bully them out of the way and let you get on with actually driving
I hear the high horse brigade coming already but sure! :rolleyes:
What time were ye leaving at? Might have had something to do with it if it was around 4/5 it's everyone getting confused down at the m7/9 change...which is impressive as it's signed for miles before hand
Also I think my car is dying slowly but surely

Ah I wouldn't be too much of a cnut on the road....most of the time. Although I will admit that I have lost the rag with certain people to the point that I probably should have ended up in court Not really proud of those moments.
Left Tallaght around lunch time so was back in West Limerick at about 3:45ish. Cruise control set at 75-80mph the whole way down (after the dreaded Naas part) so did it in good time. No confusion on my part anyway but there was a bucket load of UK and NI cars (from all walks of life) travelling south. All heading home for Christmas I'd assume. We'll blame them anyway
Awh no. Any idea what the problem is? I spotted your remap post. I've the same feeling with my car at the moment but my laziness is to blame 0 -

Blame the nordies! :P be grand haha, yeah neither am i but some people would drive you to it now
Yeah getting it mapped as soon as i don't "need" the car, so a day or two after xmas, i need to send off the ecu and so on, but yeah basically what's happening is, it's loosing coolant, an absolute fcuk tonne of it, every second day I'm getting low coolant warnings, and I've no idea where it's going, couple that with oil leaks all over the shop, the most serious of them being the most expensive to fix, gearbox/subframe out job, I dunno whats gona happen to it in the next few months really 0 -

Still going strong, and it still thinks your D-Max is a touch effeminate
Needs moar lift though. They are the summer tyres, which are dammed chunky BF Goodrich's, but not as chunky as the full off road winter wheels/tyres, that there's been no requirement for since they got this.
Rear wheel arches in the load bed are more or less flat now no idea what they are carrying, but it must be some fairly heavy stuff. 0 -
