    Dangerously off topic, but do any of you work in HR or Recruitment type positions?

    is it registered though? or would you be getting a 161 plate on it?

    If someone comes back from Oz with a loadacash next year and buys it, it will have a 2016 plate. If it's the year after it'll have a 2017 plate and so on.

    There was once an unregistered Alfa 156 GTA on Carzone that sat there in the back of a garage for a similar length of time. I think it went to the UK in the end.

    Was that the red one with 666 in the reg?

    It's expensive because it's a 2007 model that never sold to anyone and has been going from garage to garage for the last number of years so it has been advertised as a 2007 all the way up to 2015 (and 2016 next year) due to the fact that it's still waiting for its first owner. I kind of feel sorry for it actually. It's like a puppy waiting desperately for a home!

    They were indeed going for the sleeper look with it and the 6 MPS alike.
    Jaysus wouldnt you love to rock up to buy your new car only to realise it was built 10 years ago and has been rotting in a showroom ever since... :eek:

    They should just drop the price and get rid of it, itll be worth nothing soon, its an 07 car regardless of what the plate says

    Booked a flight from Dublin to Leeds.

    €2.00 one way and €2.00 return, only €4.00 in total. It will cost me more to get to the airport than to get to UK, haha. :)

    There was a €3.88 return flight to Copenhagen. I was going to book that but I couldn't get there at the same time as my Danish friend so I'll leave that for now. :D

    Yup. I didn't actually book it. A friend booked it for me because it was cheaper than his breakfast this morning. His words. Not even sure what weekend. End of January I think.

    Mitchell's on chapel street if it's still around.
    Tbh, halfords in Liffey valley or blanch would have a lot bigger selection.

    I would avoid mid west tyres in Limerick for part worns. Got sold duds, highlighted it straight away, then got fobbed off for a month before I eventually gave up because I couldn't have bad tyres on that car.

    I don't know where's good in LK tbh. There's a place in Shannon , Smithstown Auto Repairs that I got great part worns from in the past.

    Thanks Colm. I went into Mid West today to get prices for new tyres. I didn't ask them about part worns. I did the NCT the other day. I noticed I had only done 2,500 miles since the last NCT hence I will give part worns a shot.
