Interesting vision there Dgt, how' you manage to poison yourself with exhaust fumes?

It is a lovely machine, and sounds unbelievable. The 8 is definitely on my list of dream cars.

If only mine had a roof over it....!

Yup, still not finished yet, have to floor the rest of it and cover it with carpet and then get the car cover for the car.

The underbody of the car is going to be sealed soon hopefully just working on a price. It's better than sitting in my driveway for 6 months in the rain snow and everything else!

It's also there with 4 other cars and they have been there for the last 2 years and no issues, the shed is decent enough to be fair so it's this or the great outdoors.

Hmmmmmm.... I guess some cats just smell funny from new. In te same way some petrol cars developed a nasty eggy smell when just started :eek:

Don't want it getting rotten, the driver door has an iffy part already!

Fiona

colm_mcm wrote: »

I presume so has not been used as a cow shed in a long time? One of the lads suggested to lay down plastic as well so thats something I can do too.

There is wood over the other side where the work stations are and that is in fine conditon so it all appears to be good.

To be fair, if they're misinformed they wouldn't be talking through their holes, they'd just be wrong.

Just ****ing with you.

It's a credible scenario tbh.... Cows are fierce thick.

Go on, blame your girlfriend again....I DARE YA :P

166man

Today I replaced two front tyres on the 156 with Tyreland in Glasnevin. Excellent set up out there and €98 for two Michelin tyres with plenty of thread left. I was chuffed, the car is running so much better with fresh rubber on it.

Need to investigate the suspension noise from the front and sort some more things before the NCT in February. Spark plugs are next on the list anyway.

Also saw a 2012 BMW 1 Coupe M today. Savage looking motor...:cool:
