    Speaking of, I just spent the last hour and a half researching oil for my yoke. You could spend days reading up on the pro's and con's of various brands and viscosities. Moving from 5w30 to 10w40 though - exciting times ahead for me :pac:

    I'm actually doing the same with the 335!

    Stheno - I don't know why I thought you drove a 147 but obviously I'm wrong. What do you drive?

    Ded_Zebra, where you in the square today?

    The second time in two days that I wasn't spotted by a boardsie!

    I'm on holidays from collage this week after my exams until starting back next week :cool: So my day so far has consisted of getting up and sitting on the couch :P

    There's another standard 99 Levin around Dublin then.
    Parked right beside me so I was suspicious. Haha

    Car booked in next Wednesday for the top mounts / drop links to be changed - hoping it will improve the front end noise dramatically.

    Another question, the tyres on my GP and terribly noisy on slightly rough old roads and real smooth and quiet on the new roads (M3 for example). Is that to do with my current suspension issues do you reckon or is it because the tyres could be just cheap (skinny 14" steelies they are) and causing the noise? I know it's not a bearing issue because I'd hear that all the time, regardless of tarmac type. Will post up the tyre make this evening, not sure of it.

    That happens to our cars as well. I just always thought it was the road surface tbh..

    I don't know what kind of rain the rest of the country got today but Cork is thoroughly drowned. Al,ost continuous downpours for the day which is the last thing the roads here needed, they're completely in sh!t

    Turning right here is a gamble

    Now here's a fun and deceiving crossroads :cool: blind views, extremely frosty, road canting to one side... ;)

    Athboy town? It was always a disaster! :(

    At least the Navan to Athboy road has remained consistently bumpy rather than pothole infested :P

    The further north Meath you go the worse the roads get...

    Cars do absolutely boot it on that road though. Because your crossing like a 100km/h zone.. :cool:

    Jaysus. I would sh1t a brick! if I came to either of them.. especially the first one.

    Ah ya. I rather not experience the dirty boxers.. :p

    My first car was 18yrs old, and only had 39k.

    Does the accent rattle much, my sister bought one around then (brand new) after 1 week, every piece of trim inside was rattling. First car I ever drove that had to be clutched for starting, nippy enough for a 1.3 though.

    Not rattly at all to be fair, roads are fine around here though, the folks bought it new, it's a saloon, they had a 1996 5 door one before it and the parcel shelf was a pest for rattling.

    1341cc they are :)

    You just reminded me of this junction... A driving instructor once told my friend when learning to "f*ckin boot it!" when turning right... By doing so, it's an excellent way to rip your right front tyre to bits in a ball of smoke and fury :pac::pac::pac:

    If around the town at certain times of night, you can hear the yobbos tearing up there to the Fair Green and turning into the car park. It's funny cos most have crap cars :P

    However I remember once seeing a red 944 tear downhill sideways :eek:

    Try the old Swords Road Cian, the roundabouts would make you live in fear.

    One of them allegedly has up to three collisions a day :D
