    Given the hardship on that Renault, I'd be changing every bulb on the front of it if one blew.

    someone shared this on facebook, and I thought it was worth sharing here. What a stunning car.

    Got my new insurance disc.

    They made a little printing mistake on the letter though.

    That is handy enough, well designed as well to make it handy. But then again if I never seen that video and was asked to change the bulb I would have had no idea how to do it.

    Was home at the weekend, and was chatting to my Dad who is looking to move on from his 2012 A6.


    What's the spec of the A6? And more to the point, what's he looking to get for it.

    I wonder, is there a better way to carry hockey sticks in a car? This is definitely is better than folding the seat down every time though.

    Finally got the new thread!

    20150309_181346_zps1xtjm4c8.jpg

    Only took about two weeks :P The car is so much better and planted than when it had 0 thread :pac:

    Apparently I badly need new rear pads too but I checked afterwards and I'd say there's about 4-5mm visible on the pad itself. Either way the brother is going to be getting me pads and discs all round for less than trade price.

    I wish I did play on ice, but even the Dundalk place got shut down. There are #IceForIreland petitions going around. I play inline, it's very much the same, just with inline skates and a hard plastic puck instead of ice skates and a rubber puck.
