We're camping in Mayo, staying in a b&b belonged to one of the girls aunt in Clare, Hostel in Kerry and houses owned by our parents in the rest of the places. We're all broke and couldn't all get a long time off work so we thought this would be a good idea. Only thing is it's only me and my friend who drive so we'll be doing it all!
And also.. it's eight people squashed in to a punto and a micra... with luggage :eek: It'll be a tight squeeze.
I was always a member of the cool club... just not this one. I suppose I'll just add it to the list:p
Sounds like a great holiday to me. MUch more fun than one in the sun sitting around for me!mm camping! Have fun. Goold luck fitting 8 people and luggage into the cars, woah! I would have thought there would be a car for each girl and a car each for each girls luggage. Then any guys and their luggage would go in one car.

This would be a very funny sight. The micra anyway, puntos are bit bigger. I drove 1 of these:

I don't understand cars, couldn't tell you the difference between yours and mine other than it's a different colour and it's longer.
My main criteria for buying my car was whether it had electric windows, was a nice colour and whether it had a CD player or not.

I suppose if u are mostly just driving around the city and suburbs those cars are fine, but for longer trips like your holiday a bigger engine car would be more stable at motorway speeds (lower revs) and probably use less petrol too + more space inside the car itself.
do u have the micra or the punto?0 -
I'm in the micra, it's even one of the older version ones haha. Stinger for my friends who are squashed in the back Nah we've limited people to one gym bag sized bag and a rucksack to keep the luggage load down. I obviously can't go as fast as bigger cars but feck it sure, we'll still have the craic. It's only about €35 to fill my car and that should sort me for Dublin -> Donegal no probs. It's only a one litre engine :P 0

Ah yeah but the lower litre engine cars max out at lower revs too , so at 100km/h you're probably hittin 3,500 - 4,000 revs = more petrol used. My car would cruise at that speed, maybe 3,000 max. Could easily get to Donegal with 15 litres , less than €20 petrol.
The Skoda u drove had a completely different gearing system and more sensitive accel because it's newer, but driving at higher speeds it would definitely be more comfortable. AAAAaaaaaaanyway this is a vegetarian forum lol, what did everyone have for dinner tonight :pac:0 -

And I totally agree on the onion thing, It would take about a month to get through even a small onion. I like it very very very tiny amounts!0 -

Come on in, have a seat, here take the customary tofu.This thread seems randomly amazing!! So I'm just going to pretend I fit in.
Car talk confuses me. I'm screwed when I learn to drive...
You don't need to know anything about cars to drive, I didn't, they teach you the pedals. Hope to do my test by september now.lol, shed probly want the hot ones! when she was a toddler and we went to shop, any normal kid would ask for sweeties, shed ask for a whole red pepper. shed eat the whole thing in her buggy, red face and all!

I generally don't like it. It has this nasty eggy texture and I've always hated the texture of eggs. I crumble and fry it and use it in chilli and spaghetti bolganese (sp?). I've just been using it as a kinda mince replacement.0 -

I've only had it in soups in Chinese restaurants when it was chopped in to cubes, that really put me off me.
No, Moonbaby, I've tried a few times and since a child I've always been the best eater in my family, it's my claim to fame amongst my siblings I'll try anything several times I just can't get used to tofu. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to, it'd open up so many recipes to me!
Here, what do ya think of this. I was in a restaurant having lunch yesterday and we were ordering from their specials menu where it was a main dish for a tenner, only there was no vegetarian option and I had to pay full price for my meal.. that's not really fair is it?0 -
