I meant nothing by it and certainly didn't intend to offend MM.

Cheers.

Sorry

I think he is a bit mad at us.... Maybe we took it a wee bit far?

... I guess his mum will make him lovely pancakes and he will be grand again.

I'm feeling like a sucker now, I bring the OH breakfast in bed every work morning, and he doesn't know how to use the grill or oven :eek:

If it makes sense financially and you get on with your parents it's the way to go though

I might be faced with this prospect in about 6 mths time when my lease is up on this place, it's either move home and save a shed load of money and possibly loose my mind or rent my own place again and still have no money but have my sanity. Decisons.

On a lighter note I took the E30 for a spin tonight, first time in 3 weeks I have driven it, christ it was like a tank compared to the other yoke!

So so so so nice to drive god I love that car, in fact I love it more than anything in the world how sad is that!!!

Its not sad at all, at least when it becomes expensive or annoys you you can turn it off and park it up for a while. Pity I can't do that with the wife :pac:

Sorry Jimbob

Yup, I get up and leave for work 2-3 hours before he does (when I am in Ireland) so he gets coffee and a pastry or the odd scrambled egg with smoked salmon and we have a bit of time together

He can cook, but only if it is fried stuff, oven wise he can heat a pizza and use the microwave, so I do all the cooking. Works well for us he's great at ironing and other stuff, and I love cooking

He's brutal at shopping for decent food though, when I'm abroad with work, I get supervalu to deliver food that is decent and he can cook, I wonder if someone there will notice weird locations orders come from.

Just works for us, I can be away from home for weeks at a time, and we enjoy spending time together, I don't mind doing my bit, and it's fun

Ah I love my car, to destress after a ****ty day I'll drive a good fifty miles through north dublin to relax.

Nothing better, and nothing sad about it either

All this talk of cleaning cars makes me want to clean mine! When the rain goes away I will. Get it done while dgt is (hopefully) welding up my exhaust.

Weather looks fine for tomorrow evening!

Beware, the pesky farmers are out in force mudding up the road more than usual I stupidly cleaned the whole car yesterday and as of this evening, its brown again :mad:

Didn't want to start a new thread..

For anyone interested this years Le Mans winning Audi R18 E-Tron quattro will be on display at Audi North Dublin's new terminal on Oct 13th.

I highly recommend having a gander at it, its an amazing machine!

No. You stalked me once, and were not helpful

And I'm not sure I like your car?

Fiona wrote: »

Hmmm much more attractive proposition, excellent at cleaning cars, puts in the hard work.

However the current Oh does clean, and wash my car on a weekly basis.

After a week of me using it, my car resembles a trash can

Mugs, I think you've been outdone.

He appears to be a bit of a mammys boy? Can't be coping with that at all!

I'll have Mugs thanks, I can't abide any sort of massage, I'm a bit on the thin side, and hate being touched, and swedish masseurs dig into my poor bones.

Mugs, any dates for the wedding? Don't forget the rest of motors made me the boss of our virtual garage, so you want to be sure what you are getting into? Are you a toucher?

Oi! Did jimbob changed his name again?

What a bloody awful morning, I didn't want to get up :mad:

Plus side is all the splat on the windscreen will get cleaned off....

Its meant to clear up, tis a 3 minute job when fully set up, sure come on out anyways! Even if raining we'll throw up the gazebo

Gary ITR

What a horrible day outside

barura

Screw my exhaust. Gearbox just broke. I can go from 3-4 but no 1st, 2nd, 5th or reverse. Living on a hill, this poses quite the problem! Bangernomics, here I come! (Sigh, again...)

Sounds like a selector issue to me....

Either way if it is the box, I still have your old one, minus reverse!

I can't get under my car at the moment, but I'll have a gander. It ran out of tax at the start of the month as well, so I can use this as a sign, I think.

But not for the levin sadly, apparently students can't be insured on them.

Get a Bravo 1.2 and have access to a seriously big parts bin

Pick up one for about 200 and we can do it up in no time, on the very cheap

I'm sure that could be still arranged! we could conjour up some sort of linkage and wahey, garden battering rams once more

I may clear up the garden a bit and weld a set of bullbars onto the 106 :pac::pac::pac:

Gotta get it up to Navan first... You up for spining me back home afterwards? :P

@BubbleWrap I would hardly crash the 106 into the Polo.

Shocking day out not helped by idiots on the road. A day in the office for me!

If you can't drive it we can pick it up with the van

But if you do get it to mine that won't be a problem

This evening I takes? I finish at 4

barura

I can get it to Navan, I think. Possibly your house if I go around Navan as well...

Actually, after going out there in the pissing rain and putting the linkage back in place, I think I'll hang onto it a bit longer! My hand looks like a dirty protest now though....

Dartz

Yep.... I really need new tyres. The car's doing that thing where, when you go around corners in the rain it starts getting rumbly through the steering wheel and feels like it's pushing to the side

I also need money first.

Or possibly to slow down.
