    Speaking of things Out Fodden like, it turns out that Citroën is the Dutch word for "lemon". Apparently André-Gustave Citroën's grandfather had been a fruit-and-veg dealer in the Netherlands. Who knew? :pac:

    Citrons is Latvian for "lemon" as well, so a lot of people would actually call it "Citrons" instead of "Citroën". :P

    "Soixante-Quinze" means 75, "Chevaux-Vapeur" is referring to the 75BHP PSA TU3 JP engine. :D

    128.9 in Rathmines for the last few days. I think that was the cheapest I filled up when the last dip was. If I could buy ten fillups at once I would!

    If ya want to fit in in the deep south you need the following :

    Ford F150
    Shotgun
    Bible

    You'll also develop a love for everything deep fried and say "Y'all" in every sentence.

    Planning on buying a V8 alright at some stage. I'll negotiateba bible into the deal as well fear not!

    Driving an auto again is a bit of an experience even if it's only been about two hours. Quite liking it though

    Well my front left wheel decided to do a runner while I was driving back from Galway today.

    Cue sparks galore.

    I have no idea. I left the car there. I will come back to it at some stage. I'm a bit pissed off. Me and my father were at the front wheel one day. Either one of us forgot to tighten the nuts down fully, I'm pretty sure it was me.
