    Nope, wasn't me I'm afraid. I was in Rathnew at that time. ;)

    I was Southbound on it at about 12:30, and then Northbound coming home about half an hour ago. :)

    Ooooooookay....

    How do I clean a mankey interior? Soil, damp, dusty, smells of spuds (yum! But not in a car)...

    Or do I have to do my usual take everything out and burn it in a big fire :pac:

    Spotting so many boards doubles. Haha

    Wet vac would do the job I'd presume?
    And a ****e load of fire.

    I'm too cheap to invest in even renting one... Was thinking some sort of carpet cleaner? Or am I being silly :o

    If all else fails, I may just have to invest in a wet vac :)

    Erm, I got this when a stray cat got into my dads old jeep and "done it's business" so to speak. I sprayed the whole can off it. It seemed to make a difference. :)

    Merely masks the smell. One would assume that disposing of the issue would be better than just covering it up. The interior clearly requires cleaning.

    I'd believe a bit of elbow grease would see you right dgt.

    Do you have a workshop hoover/shop vac?
    Ours is wet and dry and what I do is spray a solution of apc and water on the carpets/seats. Scrub it in. Hoover it out. Spray on clean water then hoover that out too.

    Ran through my car documents there clearing out some old stuff, found my insurance records, made for some interesting reading. All of these were on an '00 Peugeot 206 1.1L

    2006 - €2436 [Quinn]
    2007 - €2393 [Axa Direct - had an at-fault accident worth €47k with Quinn]
    2008 - €1781 [Axa Direct]
    2009 - €1424 [Axa via Broker]
    2010 - €1103 [Axa via Broker]
    2011 - €708 [Axa Direct]
    2012 - ~€600 [Axa Direct]

    Almost €10k on insurance :eek:

    2012 was still quite high. Are you in your twenties still?

    Yup, in 2012 at the time of renewal I was 25. I get a bit of extras too like roadside recovery and that bringing up by about €85 from the basic quote. All those are fully comp too.

    Zurich are doing good things right now. Word on the street is that Aon are doing great deals with Liberty aswell. Seems they're trying to shake up their market share a bit.

    FBD are also apparently putting a push out for new business.

    Oh I'll be looking around all right, but in June when I'm next due. I just thought I'd throw it up here since I found it amusing to see how much I'd spent over the years and how far it'd come down

    That was a quality episode IMO of course... Went back to the more ridiculousness of Top Gear and found myself laughing out loud quite a few times throughout. Hopefully the rest of the episodes will continue in a similar fashion.

    Starting the petrol in the library was just priceless tbh...:D

    Ya, that was brilliant, I thought the part where the car washer got stuck in the Pee45 was quite funny too. :D

    Or when he drove into the table. :pac:
