    I figured you had it at least 3 years alright that's soooo long . It looks well from the outside with the alloys and chrome strips under the Windows small things like that really make the difference.


    Ya, spent at least a year searching at different makes and models, looks like I chose the right one because I still love it, love driving it, and always look back after coming out of it. I even parked it in the shed just there and looked back for a glance at the back of it!

    Chrome is starting to get a bit oxidized, needs new stuff, something to shine it up, or I might take it off altogether.

    Are you driving the mondeo now or the focus? Or what's the story?

    Amateur

    I got so pissed at a party once that the following day in work someone told me that i got with a older not great looking polish bird that can't speak a word of English in the middle of the club.

    And they were right too. When she showed up for work twas fairly awkward. Didn't know what to say and even if i did she wouldn't understand anyway !

    Any tips for pulling reg plates off that have double sided tape on. Went a bit overkill with the rear one, and it won't come off. I'll only break the plate if I keep pulling.

    Anyone with Blue Insurance? - they're about €100 cheaper than the next lowest I've got so far. I'm slightly wary though.

    They're 2 year policies aren't they? Also as far as I'm aware they insure cars that are under 10 years old.

    If you have the max possible NCB and car under 10 y/o, might as well go for it.

    Dental floss worked a treat!

    Noticed that the heater, when on full blast, was very slow, and didn't have enough strength in it. Happened 2/3 times lately randomly. Went out and checked the pollen filter, it's sopping wet. Took it out, turned on the heater and it was back in action, put it back and it slowed down again. The water is getting in from the tray under the window, it's not sealed to the window properly.

    Had a look there this morning at the damage, very deep scratch at the start and it runs right from the front of the car to the rear door, any suggestions on a good paint shop?

    I give out about one eyed monsters constantly (not necessarily on here) and now I am driving one as of today :o Thankfully I have to bring the work wagon for a service in the morning in the arse hole of Kerry. The girl that deals with the fleet asked me if I needed anything done on it. She's willing to get the wiper blades and bulbs sorted but wasn't too happy when I asked for a cruise control and sound system upgrade :pac:

    A 30 year old?? Sure that's basically a parity with your age then compared to the regulars you go for......! :D
