    Jaysus saw an 09 kk Focus ST how much is that to tax!
    Still fair play to them obviously it was what they wanted!

    Thanks to MM for pointing it out as I wouldn've missed it otherwise.

    Good thing i live in a cul de sac, with a big turning area outside my house:D

    Got a finger wagging today from the police municipale, they didnt think my 'touch of handbrake to keep the front from pushing' was appropriate:p

    There's a couple of ten reg ones on Carzone too. Ones an ancient pre face lift though. One in donegal looks nice if you exclude the bills.

    €1200 ain't too bad, I was expecting the highest band under the "green" rate.

    The post 08 ST's are cheaper to tax than the pre 08 ones... ;)

    I don't know how that chap on DD managed to get a pre facelift with a 10 reg, it's Irish as well. It must have been sitting on a forecourt a very long time. He's dreaming with his asking of €22k though. :P

    Get the fook are they??
    I'm shocked. I would've expected a higher tax obviously.
    Well I'm impressed somebody is buying an interesting car in 09 and impressed there is one in 2010.
    I'd like to meet them and high five them.

    Nope, engine size tax is higher for us than the emissions. It was only a €50 difference when I bought mine, but I think the gap has increased since, so they're actually better value (subjective I know) now for a 08 and up than 07 and before.

    Broken down under the bridge in Dundrum. Alternator belt is completely gone, as in not in the engine bay anymore. Must have fallen out on the road somewhere.

    Right on a corner and all, god help me.

    Aw Feck man, Today was the one day I barely logged on here at all and I'm not far from Dundrum bridge, could have popped down...

    Think of the irony of the Alfa driver giving a Nissan driver a dig out when the Almera gives up.... :D

    Yup its small alright and can be tricky to negotiate! One my of wedding guests got their car stuck trying to get out of the place!

    To be fair to here she hadn't passed her test long and wasn't used to going down the ramps in car parks so it was a great learning experience for her!

    motors off chat isn't the place to voice your personal dislikes on anybody you know, then post a link to their contact details. It's about the cars, not about who pays for their insurance, whether they're dodging vrt, how they drive, whether they've crashed etc. the posts in question have been removed.
