    you will be paying mad money for a little piece of paper to put in your window cause if you were to have a bump, your insurance would be void.
    insurance companies love guys like you, so would i if you gave me a couple of grand for nothing, which is what you will have

    doesnt matter what is wrote in the log book, you should insure it as a WRX, if you dont, you might as well not insure it at all and save your money because the policy wont be worth the paper its printed on.

    Trying to get a NCT for a "GL" when presenting a WRC could be interesting too...

    OP, those days are gone, we're like the Germans now...

    Do it right.

    itsallabouttheL...........tell me the L in your screen name isn't for 'Law'

    tbh, if you have got into the gaurds, it begs thh question: are there no standards, anymore? Not even for grammar? I say this because the law is a technical instrument, and a none-too-subtle one either. I'm just waiting for you to graduate Templemore and out your first summons........for some barrister to rip it to shreds in front of a judge on a technicality.

    And, if you're so un-clued to cars, you're obviously un-clued on the Road Traffic Act too. This does not bode well for the future......

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    /me is very disappointed with itsallaboutheL

    You know I'm just a regular poster outside of the forum I moderate but I have to say that this post was irresponsible.

    You've just taken a broad sword to the hard work of Gardai out there who are trying to change public perception of their image.

    I have strong views on this. Take everything people have to say on the chin.

    You get no sympathy from me.

    Release the hounds.

    I thought he mentioned about being a memebr of the law, but was he not just asking for an opinion on what he/she was going to do.

    Maybe im just confused and misreading but he was asking about how you went about changing this or since it was misregistered what impact will it have on him.

    Maybe iam wrong?! Don't mean to be offending people

    Difficult to decipher what's going on here what with the OP deleting most of his posts...

    From what i can gather some meat-head trainee garda has an Impreza WRX and is fishing for info amongst the 'petrolheads' as to how he can scam his insurance and cover it as a 1.3GL or somesuch. Correct?:confused:

    I'm just laughing that everyone is so shocked! Guards are people too - good and bad. I know of a few people who got into Templemore who are pure scum though - makes it hard for me to trust 'em TBH and - unless I knew them - I'd be thinking twice about going to them with a problem...:(

    A case of "only <insert tiny engine without turbo here> in the logbook"
