You did mention it before! It's the only Tesco I've been in that has a pharmacy :pac:

Possibly the reason for changing wheels is either preference or that the tyres are significantly cheaper to buy? Either way was a nice surprise to see one in the park!

We were in New Ross, I'll leave Scortho to chat about his exquisite purchase and that fantastic Integrale :cool:

its a mc-whopper of a tesco alright, they are re-working it again shortly to be even bigger i believe. the pharmacy is outsourced though, just designed to look like it belongs to us.

fine looking alfa there alright, you guys are really starting to convert me to the scene! the v6 engine looks lovely, i can only imagine how it goes

did you go enniscorthy - clonroche - new ross or enniscorthy - wexford - new ross?

Navan is getting shuffled about too, major refitting taking place.... Must be only a few stores getting reshuffled though the one in Newry has an opticians :pac:

She look well and goodness can she scream :eek: then just cruising around town, that lovely burble at low rpm's..... Just an experience in itself!

Yep Enniscorthy, Clonroche then just outside New Ross

I'm thinking more of the JDM scene as the days go by too.....

Nice.
Went enniscorthy, clonroche.
Guy I bought it off is between clonroche and New Ross.
It sounds amazing. Has a cat back exhaust! Im dreading these penalty points that I'll start clocking up.
Think I may start converting my dad away from his vag fondness.

The v6 in that bend with the m3 had me speechless.

thats a dirty road via clonroche but so much quicker than going via wexford. that'd be the route i take to college, crap enough of a rainy sunday night.

you couldn't hack JDM man it's too reliable,you'd have nothing to **** around with :P that said i'l be driving my own 1.1 Italian stallion from tomorrow for a day or two, should be good craic

i'd say the 156 went for pennies did it? is it tested or anything?

I wouldnt say pennies, but bangernomics territory all the same.
Nct'd until next July.
Headlights need to be realigned, only found that out tonight.
Got a set of zender side skirts with it as well.
Im happy. Its in great nick and handles brilliantly and sounds amazing.

Where the speed van parks is even dirtier.... :rolleyes:

Well I've survived this far with the 406.... Yeah, I'm actually implying that the 406 is reliable, never refused to start or die on me without a valid reason :eek: yet :pac: as for the Punto, it'll be roly-poly and rev happy! Beware rust can appear anywhere on it :eek: and if the timing belt snaps, meh, freewheeling engine ftw tis a 1.2 so 5 extra bhp over the 1.1

Full years test, fully serviced and maintained by an enthusiast.... A true bargain :cool:

Toyotafanboi

hope it all goes well for you with the 156 i'm somewhat jealous!

punto's a 1.2 is it? see, that's how disinterested i am in it, didn't even know what engine it had front wings are on their way out, radio doesn't work, but the soundtrack of that 40bhp il4 under the bonnet is enough for me.

When I got home the first thing I did was start my 166 and realise it just doesn't sound as good..... The making of a pikey exhaust will be a future update for that car :pac:

58bhp, expect to go places in mediocre fashion at average speeds it gets worse/better sounding eh :pac:

You have to try a 1.2 Corsa b someday to get the feel of a real sh*tbox in every possible way

Nah the backbox, it's the wrong one anyway!

The strange Toyota is an FJ Cruiser. Very popular in the USA and Australia ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_FJ_Cruiser

Some more random stuff from the holliers and a stop sign on an Indian Reservation.

Did anyone spot Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and Ferrari 458 Spider outside Mansion House at Dawson Street in Dublin city centre ? There was also Aston Martin and Corvette i think ? I couldn't go I think it was yesterday or today
