    I have a car charger already ;) Don't fancy spending €60 or so in PC World (hate them with a passion) on a universal one, I'd rather give somebody here a bit of cash for one :)

    If you have a car charger, then maybe all you need is a mains to car adapter :) So that you can use all you car appliances at home :D

    Just got a letter telling me I've made it to the aptitude test stage of getting an apprenticeship with Lufthansa Airmotive. Not exactly working on cars like I was looking for but hey, jets are cool!:D

    Fair play, planes are far cooler than cars! I had a choice for a hobby, planes or cars, I know far more about planes but cars are far cheaper and easier.

    Anybody any good at organising and planning things? We're looking for more help with All the Way Round 2012 to try and make it more successful than it was this year, all help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    How much did Boards themselves contribute to last years event? Would it be possible to get a headliner for even a couple of hours on the top of every forum page?

    It would be great to get bucket loads of people interested next year, not just Motors heads but folks from every section of Boards. Seeing as it originated on Boards and got arranged on here, it would be great to get more Boardsies on board!

    I lasted about 15 seconds with a Maplin universal charger before I threw it into the pond!

    They make a really annoying noise

    They gave us banner ads for the week or so running up to it. TBH this years fell really short because the 3 of us organising had mental things going on. Quazzie was building a house, Donal was under immense pressure in work and I was starting and running my own business.

    The numbers involved last year were probably touching on the limit of what we would expect though. 20-30 people is about as much as a hotel would be willing to accept in a group and keeping us together on the road would be a lot tougher with a larger group

    It will be happening, and they will be a lot more regular.

    The plan is to get some regular meets going (something like coffee and cars) and hopefully some big ones every so often too if we can get some nice metal in one place.

    Could have an impromptu Cork on Saturday if people were up for it! I'm only about sat morning until lunchtime though.

    I'm sick of this driving 'normal' car ****e. In Febuary I'm buying something decent, well something quick and cheap, possibly another DC2. I'll turn the Focus into a van I think

    I tested a 05 3.0 Phaeton yesterday, fine car, really liked it, passed the test with flying colours. I'm just curios, how many did they actually sell in Ireland? Is there a way to find out, how many of them are registered here atm?
