********Motors Chat - Round 8 ********

I genuinely wonder how some drivers are aloud to drive on the road. Possibly the busiest day in Thurles today between matches on in Semple Stadium and a Tractor Challenge on in Twomileborris. I was driving on the Twomileborris to Thurles road, so very heavy traffic at both sides. I was stuck behind 6 tractors and a truck who were on the way to the Tractor Challenge and a genius behind me decided to overtake myself and the tractors on a straight white line which has a hidden dip. Just as a car appeared from the hidden dip, this car swerved in and nearly hit one of the tractors (if it didnt go up on to someone's front lawn). I wouldve thought no one else would of done something as stupid but nope, another straight white line coming up to a hill (couldnt see whats coming at the other side) and another genius decided to overtake everyone. Done the same job as the last lad, nearly hit the tractor if they didnt go up on someone's front lawn.

Yes I know, tractors arent too fast, but with the amount of traffic and how dangerous some parts of that road are, was it really worth it?

If anyone knows anyone in Thurles today who were going towards the M8 motorway towards Dublin driving a 01 Audi A4 or a 10 Volvo V60 estate then please hit them for me.

(If you cant tell, I really hate stupid drivers like this )

Car is after spinning around 4-5 times on front of us just before new flyover dublin. No one hurt girl having pure panic attack. She was so lucky though. Was watching cars Merge car spun 4 times junction before Tallaght junction at charles hurst I don't know the road. She spun around in two of the lanes. It was so frightening seeing it happen though two cars on front of us could of been a pile up so easy she had absolutely no control over the car young child in the back too. Thank God everyone was ok.

Think I might have seen an ambulance heading to that there about a half hour ago? Either way passed an ambulance heading in that direction

So am I right in thinking there is something seriously wrong given its been changed?

I don't think that it's that uncommon( open to correction on that) if there was something fishy about it, they wouldn't have told you it was changed;)

For the Love of Cars is on again. 80's hot hatch tonight. The golf gti.

I was really looking forward to the SD1 episode but it was ****e. I did watch The Liver Run again after which more than made up for it.

Been watching reruns of old Wheeler Dealers. It's reminded me of how rubbish the latest series is.

Haha how do you know where the rattle is coming from on a diesel ;-)
What kms are they going at? Prince engine? TSI? N47 kinda kms?

No not as bad as bmw, nothing is bad as them! IThe d4d is known for it, our one at home makes a horrendous chain noise too as did all the others we viewed, apparently they "all do that" lol. The one at home has 130k miles on it......or so it says. I'm not convinced!

No, but it's a fairly decent titanium focus!
