    Every 3rd bloody Golf has Monzas on it at this point. And most of them are the crappy 17" ones (sorry Gollywog). Time to start saving for some Edition 30 Pescaras I reckon.

    Most are cheap crappy rip off's as well and seem to be glued to each and every 1.4 Irish Special and all the TDI's as well.

    Awful looking to see cheap rip off's that don't fit properly, it's immediately noticeable as well.

    Pescaras are savage wheels, I remember not so long ago alloywheels.ie doing a deal on the very similar BBS CH wheels and they were working out at about €150 a wheel, which is cheap by original BBS standards.

    Probably because the rest of Europe aren't like Ireland and buy whatever car they like rather than whatever car the man in the pub recommends.
    The Irish market is a drop in the ocean of car sales.

    I love that thing so much and I havent even seen it in flesh :(. I would be so over it. I would even sell scooby and buy 1.0l yoke for daily driving, so I could drive that once a week on weekend!

    I'm going to go see this. It's a weird one though. Seller says it belonged to an old woman he looked after. She died and left it in her will to him. He doesn't want it, doesn't want to sell it locally as it'd upset him to see it around.

    Low mileage but has been sitting around for a year. Willing to put it though the NCT but would charge 1k more. Not sure what to do..... ?

    Sounds like a cowboy ted.

    Seriously anyone giving me a spiel about a dear old woman dying and leaving her favorite little car to her carer, who in turn finds it hard to see around locally is a joker. Seriously, i just wouldn't bother with it. Plenty of focus around.

    If I could get the quote.
    I've been toying with the idea of something similar though. :D

    Yep, I start training on Monday. :)
    Commission based to start but to give you an idea of how fast the company is growing, the person that was interviewing me was in the same position as me 8 weeks ago when he joined the company.
    Looking forward to working my way up!
