    UNkel
    +1,000,000 for Brian at spirit detailing.

    On the other note. Should you want a boardsie to look after it for you. I assume this is a weekender?
    Why not drive it down to Cork and leave it with FN for a week?
    Get the bus or train back .
    Do a return trip to collect and enjoy the trip home in your gleaming car.

    Feck that.

    Drop car down and go on the beer.

    Unkel, Ian in Elite is top notch from my experience. He's got some serious cars.

    Drop it into him and then you don't have to go to that smelly place called Cark :D

    Driving in the middle of thunder and lightning last night...

    Made the hair on my arms prickle, but the car was this warm little humming cocoon against the wild weather outside.

    Expect more thunder later and heavy possibly spot flooding in the south and east this evening and overnight. So be careful if out driving.

    no you haven't. If you did I would spend a lot of time putting together an essay.

    Look, I'm surfing the webz actively since 1998 (my first contact with internetz was in about 1996 when it was very, very basic) and I'm on various forums for many many years...

    I have learned one thing... there is no point whatsoever to endlessly argue with somebody on the internet because at the end of the day it doesn't absolutely matter who thinks what. I have my opinion, I drive an e30 every single day and wouldn't change anything about it. Definitely wouldn't get a merc instead of an e30.

    I probably looked at somebody else, happens. Not unusual thing to happen after a 12hr shift.

    Of course it's a great craic! They are very nice to drive. E30s are not built for long journeys but you have some serious fun in them.

    Tbh I can't imagine myself to have same amount of fun in any Merc from that era that is for the same money as E30.

    Hitting apexes in something like this? No thanks.

    I would always have said the majority of b8 A4's are driven by reps but that's not the case at all really when you look at it. However the amount you see being driven by middle aged woman normally with kids in the back they must be becoming the family car of choice. I would go as far to say you see more driven by woman then men maybe that is just in kilkenny.

    I suppose it's still a step up from the Megane where the average driver was a 70 year old :pac: so I am back to the 30-45 age bracket :)
