    Happy New Year people :)
    Anyone have the off chance of spotting a 151 reg? Where's that pic of the fella that buys a new focus every year on the 1st?

    Great devices for emulation. Fire up Desert Strike and a few beers and you got a quality night in :)

    Neighbours wipers are dire, so bad that before he changed them the last time, they had several arc shaped scrapes gone into the windscreen, that won't come out. The ones he has now are frigged too, they screech each and every time they wipe, so annoying. I tell him that they need changing, he goes, sure they passed the NCT so they're fine. His NCT was last June. God, some people :rolleyes:

    Every car I bought has come with sh!t wiper blades which says a lot about how often people change them. I got a set of Vw ones 9 months ago when I first got the golf front and rear and there still perfect. I'm not sure how often you are actually supposed to change I suppose it depends on condition.

    I got Ford ones for mine (focus)about 6 weeks ago. Not flat blade ones, they couldn't get them, and I don't find them to be good at all, missing pieces and leaving streaks.

    I'm not sure on them at all, the welded diff will be removed and replaced with a nice m3 lsd. Welded is too hard on a daily!

    Probably more the activity that welding the diff causes, especially in the wrong hands imo.
    But I think I've made my opinion on that clear in the other thread so I think the less said the better - so Ill leave it to the rust of you.

    34 is a fair amount!

    Most on anything I've owned was 14 on an e34!

    I was also suprised the average car age in Ireland is 9 odd years I thought it would be a bit younger than that. Even considering 10 owners which is still a lot there is over 9500 cars with 10 owners.
