I can't claim back my med expenses the way I used to be able to cos I am registered for self assesment now.

Being a grown up sucks.

TAX is even worse.... Nothing better than walking out the door after handing over just under a grand.... Getting into your car and travelling down a road of pot holes.

Didn't think the roads around you were too bad?

Lol, I am happy though about my insurance renewal this month.

Insurance from on my bangornomics ford went from 550eu to 450eu, it's quite fantastic having insurance in 3 digits not in 4 lol

Damn. 380 still damn good. It's for that rover 75?

I am with liberty for last 4 years. I was shocked when fella called me and said: we are very happy to have you as the customer all these years. Did you liked qoute we sent you? For the first time in my life insurance company thanked me for having a business with me, not just: give me all of your money ya peasant!!!

Nope, thanks for the info on the place too was really helpful! Still stuck in Dun Laoghaire for the foreseeable future though.

Joining car specific forums are always a bad idea. I already have far too many expensive plans for the GTI. But came across this little number, and I'm seriously tempted to give the red front splitter a go.

Really? I think it ruins the front of it.

Yep, in fairness €300 was looney cheap

Btw lads, is it me or carzone became totally useless?

Big part of the adds had not been updates for more then 30 days. It's like a graveyard of ads.
Looks like the only option is donedeal, and it's search engine can be right damn thick!

A guy I know who has a main dealership was telling me that they are moving towards www.beepbeep.ie . Aparently it offers better features to the garages. I was a little drunk at a wedding at the time though and can't remember excatly what they were .

You're a fecking accountant and you don't know whether you're due a refund and how much???? I used to do the same with y expenses - enforced savings. When I eft they owed me £18k. If I'd had it, it wouldn't have been so special!

The best quote i've gotten on the Focus ST170 i'm hoping to buy is 1050 fully comp or 920 third party fire and theft. The worst quote I got was 5500:eek:

I thought John was a teacher or something?

When I did figures for another thread on car costs per mile I figured out that I spend approx 55% of my gross yearly income on motoring expenses(depreciation, tax, insurance, petrol, parts, etc). Depressing or what

In good news, the car that nononsense refused to insure and the cheapest quote I could find was €1,300 comprehensive - 18 months later costs me €600 to insure fully comp.
