    This Just spotted on the Whitworth Road in Dublin!

    I wonder was she wearing a blue mini or driving a blue Mini? :D

    Fair play to him having the balls / going to the expense to do this.

    He changed her tyre last week.

    Is that what they're calling it these days? :pac:

    Having balls would've been asking her for her number there and then.

    True, but 'exposing himself' in this fashion took some cahoonas all the same! ;)

    I would presume he bought a sim card for this.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 528 ✭✭✭Jake Rugby Walrus666


    That ads a bit vague isn't it.

    There could've been lots of girls, in lots of blue minis who had various flat tyres changed by many different creepy weirdos last week.

    He could be madly in love. In fact, so mad he's dropped all his prices... etc etc.

    He'll have plenty doom and gloom after taking all of those calls, and not one of them being from the girl he's looking for.:(

    Awww its sweet, its a classic and original chat up line but not necessary a chat up line either! To the point at least!...:cool:

    Won't be many new shape MINIs out there with spare wheels, most had a can of tire weld and a compressor.

    I think it'd have been a bit of a wasted effort if he didn't put his number up :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 427 ✭✭chinwag


    It's reported on TheJournal.ie - photo seems to be taken earlier on today.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    awh that's so sweet :D

    *level of creepiness/sweetness may change based on pics obtained


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭wilkie2006


    Has anyone called the number? It's just occurred to me that this could be a very fcuking clever piece of viral advertising.

    Never thought of that - either she got rid of the runflats or there's a clever cloggs in marketing at Des Kelly.

    Anyone know how much one of those billboards would cost? Remeber the chap who put one up looking for a job last year?

    EDIT: €2,000 - I call shenanigans on this, who's gonna spend that on some chick he met at the side of the road?

    Thread title changed accordingly!

    lol and he just got a reply: 'Not another ****ing loser' Fairly sure that's not a reply Des Kelly would give :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,341 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    If some girl done that for me i'd just hit it and quit it. Anyone that goes to that length for someone they met for the duration of changing a tire has some more crazy shít up their sleeve for the rest of the relationship.

    Because nobody has €2k to spare these days putting up a billboard poster in the hope that he might get a date out of it. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,348 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    €2 yo yo? 2 hundred/thousand eurrroooos anyone?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,084 ✭✭✭oppenheimer1


    Obviously a marketing stunt. Its in the hope the media will see this and report the photo/story. Its the michael O'leary school of advertising, do something wacky in order to get your name and product in the papers - for free.

    This will be carried in the national press, and all for €2k, seems cheap to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,348 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Why would they want to report it? all the guy wants is to get in touch with the girl? Even if it means he gets prank calls but he is secretly adversing his tyre garage too!? Its not necessary false marketing advert!?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    2 grand is pretty steep even if he does get to des kelly her interiors.
