Does the €220 include the €50 off..? Those tyres are very good for the money.

I'll be needing tyres for the GTV in the next few weeks. I want to go with Michelin PS3's this time. €390 delivered to the door.

Yeah the 220 is including the €50 off. Oponeo are looking for €95 each so adding fitting/balancing to that works out the same. Basically what the €50 saved me was the garages profit/labour :pac:

Just for taxing a car as the new owner it just passed nct and has one till March 2017 can I just walk in and tax it once the car goes over to my name or can I tax it before then. As I need to figure out the quickest way to tax it as its out since December and I'll be driving it and parking in public places etc. Also do I need to get an nct cert in the garage or will they know it is Nctd in the tax office the disc is in the window as it stands.

Once it has been transferred to your name you can then tax it online using the forgotten pin thing on the motor tax site. It will tell you in vehicle enquiry when its transferred to you too.

I asked for them specifically as I got two on the rear about 2 months ago and love them. Loads of grip.

But were they the same type rather than just Hankooks. Like I had a set of Hankook ventus v12 evo 2's and they were good, wore very quick though.

Thats what I have on mine, the V12 Evo 2's. Even in the wet on that pedestrian crossing tile stuff the Traction doesn't even flicker like it did before.

54 euro though although they are quite long wipers. Oh it's one thing I regularly change are wipers nothing like a decent set that clears the window in on sweep.

Haha I hope you won't all be disappointed when you see the pictures it's not exactly something you would stop to stare at. Plus it's silver noooo :pac: they had one there same year less than half the miles and a nice colour but 2k more and there was too many marks on the body. If the body had been absolutely perfect Id of went with that one Christ it was some yoke to drive (not that the one I bought is bad :pac: ) like a brand new car spotless inside but it had been banged to many times on the outside owned by an old person.

That's including the rear one too. Front ones are 19" and 26" so are quite big indeed.

You say it's not VAG, so this tells me it's JAP (or some kind of italian..) But would a old pensioner drive a MR2, skyline or silvia?? Or Fiat Coupe???:eek:

They are a good team though, always get to the bottom of the case.

The goodbyes are always the hardest part

Infairness it couldn't have went to a nicer guy a true vw fanboi has only ever owned golfs and name the variant he's had it.

Insurance pain in me h***
One direct "get 80% discount if you have no penalty points and are claim free"
Quote of €768
What the actual fook? Would my premium have been €3840 normally?

Liberty did the same last year - I questioned them on the TalkTo forum and via phone. Basically they artificially inflated the base premium on a working backwards basis from the final quote the assessor gave them, so they can claim they're providing "huge discounts".

colm_mcm · 27-04-2015 09:06PM

Sign came in at €535, usually my broker go "here's crap quote from your current insurer, but we've searched the market and come up with this cheaper one"
Just gave me one option this year.
