So with the 7er gone and the Trans Am going, any ideas on replacement? You mentioned an X5 3.0d a while back? That still on the cards?

Any of the two I pictured above?

Oh, yeah. Scooby disappointed me for the first time! :mad:

I moved my mancave in to bigger room, so now I got space for TV and all my consoles too. So today was/still is I guess a day when I would go to Cork and get myself a 40ish inch telly.
Well, I expected rear seats to drop down like in any normal car, so there would be more space, but in subarus that function is not present! :mad: No way I will be able to fit in telly in to scooby now! damn you!!!

Would it not fit if you fold down the backrest of the front passenger seat??

Thats good idea. I knew you are not just a pretty face. I guess misses will have to sit in the back in losers seat.

Leather?

Speaking of Alfa's

Went to see that POS today.

"Exceptionally sound" my arse. The car has rust of every panel, inside the doors was rotten to the core.

As for the seller, who says he was selling it for a friend, he was the biggest prick I've ever come across in my life. He wouldn't leave us start it as "We weren't interested enough" (After making a 2 hour trip down to see it?" and basically slammed the door of it and told us he didn't give a **** and to F off.

Just thought I'd make anyone who considered buying it not to bother their arse wasting their time. Tax test/insurance out since 2010 too :rolleyes:

That's been on dd for the best part of 12 months at least

Well, another person crashed into my moms car today. Just after it was repaired yesterday. She has the worst luck. She never caused a crash yet her cars are like magnets for others.

Back right corner will have to be resprayed and molded back into shape. The worst part is that it was just dropped off last night after being repaired after the 96fm incident.

That's pure unlucky. A few years ago 2009 my mother crashed her car in our drive and done 12k worth of damage. She's still never crashed on a public road though got it repaired. A few weeks later an L driver mowed into the back of her he wasn't even watching her. Didnt do too much damage to her own car.

Back home from town. Bough telly for my mancave!

It got in on a back seat after all, but that was about it. Very tight fit!

good stuff, but would it not have been easer to put it on the floor in between the front and back seats? also is it a proper full HD 1080 or a cheaper not really HD 720?

Tight fit on the back seat eh.... :pac:

You seem to like working with small spaces!

It would not fit on the floor, due to angle. I really dont know why impreza's are 4 door cars. Rear seats are useless.

Nah it is 1080p. It not expensive one though. I was looking non smart good LED TV. It is 2013 model too. I dont need smart TV crap, when I will have 2-3 consoles and a Gaming PC connected to it. So why pay extra for it.
Problem now is that I forgot to pick up a small shelf. I have to put on very high shelf and I HATE wall mounted or high placed TVs :mad:. Shockingly enough these new LED TVs very light. So no need special overpriced TV stands etc.
