i entered reg in to free online check up and car is put down as non turbo version, instead of turbo...

i dont like all that bull****, but can i still declare to my insurance as turbo car? or i would need to change all paperwork for it?

Cruise control for that section;) in fairness its one of the few gosafe areas i agree with, a long bend with a pub entrance and a junction right in the middle of it. The one on the dublin road is pure revenue generation:rolleyes:

Thanks to bad weather and 2 of these trees


Almost everything here is covered in those yellow petals :mad:

CianRyan

Those trees are poisonous, only if you eat the flowers I think.

The only thing my alfa doesnt like is slow driving;)

But the bmw e36 and Bora felt spec lads seem to be allergic to alfa lights catching up with them. Unfortunately for them, most of them cant drive so i tend to stick behind them until they give up, give them a nice side profile as i pass and then wait for a few bends in the road and piss off.

Is it wrong to tease felt speccers:cool:

It doesn't usually say if a car is turbo or not in those reports. Nor does it say it on the vehicle registration certificate.

This is why you have the glanza boys saying "1.3 in the logbook laaaaad"

Look what i did to my poor car last time i was home:mad:

Out curiosity, does anyone on the motors forum have Ireland flags on their cars? I was thinking of making little presidential style ones to go on the front fenders.

Don't get me wrong - so do I.

In fact if any friend of mine turns up with them I will box him to death.

Deadly enough for you?

Lads how much is an 01 1.6 mazda 323f worth?
50k miles no tax, tested till end of year.

Its hard to find another one to compare it to.

I would hazard a guess and say about €2000 - €2500 depending on condition.

colm_mcm

Nah. It's more like 1250, bear in mind the 323f isn't the lovely old model, it's the semi estate job.

Watch for smoke on start up on these. They have a bit of an appetite for oil.

Nonsense! Considering it's a D reg car, it's clearly the Wicklow colours... :pac:

I saw this numpty in Navan, in an 09 Focus, with those covers, covering the whole mirror. Including the glass...

There is no hope out there

Lucky of you to get a photo of your own baby pink Morris Minor amongst all those Bavarian machines;-))

ongarite

Fitted the 19 Spyder alloys I got refurbed by Wheel Wizards.
The ride quality is just as good even though they are low profile, 35 front 30 rear compared to the 17" RFTs. They don't crash through any uneven surface like the RFTs too.

Jemmy

Some great pics


Just back late last night from a road trip up north, over 900km covered in the teg & she loved it!


She needs a few bits before ATWR now in a few wks, will be over 2000km in total that wknd
