    Thanks for highlighting this, I would not have noticed it. I will do a thorough check this weekend.

    How much are Leonards charging?

    With tinted windows I guess this replaces a window sticker,

    Leonard’s in Mulgrave Street do it too. You’d think they’d have enough free advertising on the number plates and tax disc holder :)

    Does the rear wiper swing down from the top of the rear screen on the new Tucson? Or does it not have one?

    It's hidden under the top rear spoiler.

    It had 36k miles on the clock when I sold it iirc, so it’s done an impressive amount of motoring for a 70s Honda in the meantime. Still a shame though, it was a total minter when I bought it - and it was only €700!

    Wow that’s stunning.

    I’ve sold all my close family (anyone willing!) Mk7.5 and MK8 Golfs in Atlantic blue, 3 in total. Great colour

    That's a beautiful GTi. Best colour and wheel spec available imo.

    Bike not bad either! Slieve blooms dastardly?

    A futile exercise being that I live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by farms, but I gave the fleet a wash to celebrate the first day without rain in a while. Not an exciting fleet, but a very functional one

    Thanks! Not many people go for Atlantic Blue. It doesn't stand out in the VW brochure. It wasn't actually my first choice colour, but so glad I went with it. It looks even nicer on a sunny day. I can't believe I have the car two years. Only one year of the PCP left.

    Thanks! It's a trail in Galway. Whenever the restrictions end I must give Slieve Bloom a try

    I'm impressed. I too have made a questionable decision recently but I've to wait a few weeks to pick it up.

    Yeah, pretty much. Sold my last one in 2015 and the proceeds were used as spending money for a week in Bulgaria at the time!

    It's a complete Calcutta spec 140 5 speed, dont think it even has A/C, steel wheels, no front fogs, japanese import, tested for a year, still taxed for a month. Bought it from it's first and only Irish owner who brought it in in 2007.

    The ad was only up an hour and it was 15 minutes and... eh... 5k away from me. Couldn't leave it there. Will enjoy tidying it up.

    It has a working retractable parking pole though, so that counts for a lot.

    20210225-213159.jpg

    You'd be lying if you said the 140 5 speed drives as sweet as the 190 6 speed, this car isn't particularly lively but really the amount of times i had my 190 over 6500 rpm was very infrequent at best.

    Wouldn't imagine they are shockingly slower

    You need to stick a set of OEM Toyota hubcaps on that!

    If it’s JDM it probably has AC. Will you be able to get classic insurance on it?

    Yeah that was my thinking, or a set of Avensis alloys at a push.

    Hope so, will let you know tomorrow! That was the thinking, bought it handy enough, it's taxed and tested, if i can get a classic policy on it, i could probably enjoy it for a few months for €1500 or so all in, then flog it and get most of my money back. Ideally.

    A friend of mine had a 90s LWB S class and they came out of the rear quarter panels, for whatever good they did.

    Have you seen the size of parking spaces in Japan? That's why parking poles were needed, that and why alot of JDM cars had power folding mirrors long before they were common here.

    Mainly down to height really.... They can't see over the steering wheel in many cases....

    Had a few with these, Micra, civic. Was cool
