Was standing admiring at a 07 black Golf GTI in the dyke road carpark in Galway to day with a friend as he is after a mk 5 disel for under 5 grand and im buying a 06-07 GTI myself in a couple months as insurance is only 488 fully comp when some random bird comes up and asks the 2 of us can we push start her Corolla, 30 seconds later we are horsing it down the end of the carpark yelling "Beer n Spuds" and off she went

Morale of the story don't stand around looking like you have nothing to do

I'm sure it was going so well until you started yelling ''beer n spuds''...:pac:

She obviously figured out that you two were suckers by the fact you were drooling over golf GTI's :pac:

I washed it inside and out today then stood looking at the car thinking 'WTF am I doing?' Beautiful car and I don't want to sell it but the tax is a fcukin' nightmare on it - almost €160 a month.

My day consisted of doing half my assignment on whether or not and why the bank of my choice should/should not have been saved....god i hate ucc. As soon as i have my degree imma do a trade id say. The only time im happy is the summer when im working in pfizers or johnson&johnson.
The only time i took out from my assignment was to laugh at my brother after spurs lost:D
Just back from a very sweaty 9k run....chafing is not fun

Which ones?

Ardennes1944

Ringaskiddy and little island respectively.well its janssen not johnson&johnson but they own them

I worked in the Ringaskiddy Pfizer when I was in college for work experience, worked in a J&J plant too for a good while, not Jansen though.

I can see how you enjoy working there for summers, serving your time as a spark or a fitter and doing it for years is a different kettle of fish though, in saying that a degree in financial stuff could complement a trade quite nicely longterm

Thats kinda the plan:) welding and fabricating is fine when you're younger but i know after a few years it'd get very tiring and then id go back for a masters.

Well you can't keep them all I suppose

I dread the day I have to sell the E30, it will happen when I get an M3 as there is no way I can keep the two of them and himself would not been seen dead in it, nor would I even let him look after it, car suicide :eek:

I don't know how long I will be able to afford an M3 either, I hope at least 2 years so the sale will have been worth it as I doubt I will ever get another clean E30 that has not been diffed unless I start searching some barns down the country.

Still though, means I have an excuse to get an E39

Only reason I'm selling it is the tax. I really don't know what to replace it with though. The most sensible option is a facelift 520 and I reckon between fuel and tax one of them will save me about €1500 a year on running costs.

I'll still have the other V8 to play with! : )

There is a company advertised on the e30owners site that do car transport ill dig out the link and send it onto you. I am not sure what part of the country they are in but i presume they would have a nationwide service.

€1500 a year is not to be sneezed at by any means. But an e31....
I mean EVERYONE has a 5 series...


Tough choice. I really don't envy you.

Had actually intended going for an 8er after I got bored with the 'Magnificent Seven' but once again, it's the tax that's put me off. Once you reach 2.5 there's not that much difference in fuel comp the further you go up.

Had an E39 before and they're a fine car. I would really rather something different for a change and am considering another classic (e.g. Capri) as a daily but a 5er does tick all the boxes TBH.

Your husband wouldn't be seen dead in an E30? I'd divorce him tbh. If I was you obviously.

A friend just called down to drop me in something in 10D Fiesta 1.2L petrol, she rented it from Enterprise out at the airport for €60 for the week.

Now why would you be bothered buying / insuring and taxing a car when you can have one of them for €2880 per year.

( assuming of course if that was the type of car you would normally drive)
