RJ's boards join date: 2009....coincidence? I think not!

What's the story with leaving an insurance policy during the term does anyone know? I just rang Axa and tried to get a quote on this MG ZR 160 but they completely refused to quote. Does one lose the years NCD if the year isn't finished?

They gave me a quote on a 120 which was an extra 79euro (until April).

I also asked if they offered any cover for test driving cars and she said they don't offer that service and suggested that the person selling the car should add the buyer to their policy! She even said that they don't allow test driving with the "driving other cars" clause, but I don't have that anyway because they took it away for under 25's. Not sure how they would prove that last one though.

In comparsion, the liberty online system is quoting me €860.72 TPFT on the ZR160 and refuses to quote the ZR120!

Yeah I'll be giving this a lash. Did the Killarney adventure race in October and loved it so this is next on my list.

Not a fan I'm afraid, in saying that, wheels often look very different up close than they do in the pics, so I'll reserve judgement till I see them at a meet (speaking of, when's the next one?)

I'm seriously tempted to get a set of Edition 30 alloys, or at least similar ones. Preferably in gunmetal grey. The Monzas are starting to look a little ragged. Such a shame, they're stunning new, but are just ridiculously easy to tarnish, and they never look right afterwards.

How much would you want for the monzas?

As has often been said here, you can't have nice things in Ireland. Some bastard scraped the left side of my back bumper down to the primer. About 4inches long in 3separate scrapes. They left lovely red paint on it too. Spent 2hours trying to hunt down someone at the gym where it happened that knew about any cameras, of course no one did. But there is a camera pointing almost directly at where my car was parked on the inside of a building across and the manager is hopefully gonna ring me this evening with good news. No note left or anything, I'll take the bastard down if I catch them!

Was out walking the dogs the other day and the parking area was prone to a few car break ins lately. Saw one car with this notice on the window.



Bless, written by a pretty clueless person if they think that a note like that would have any meaning to these scumbags..in fact they'd be more likely to smash the window on purpose if they saw that IMO.

Lol... I saw this last year around galway...



There's some rather 'special' people out there :pac:

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime

quick one.

want to get floor mats for the cr-v that are exact fit.

micksgarage don't have them for the year.

anyone know where to get them ? or Honda dealer only job ?

because it's automatic the floor goes around the whole front . I.e. no gear stick or handbrake on ground. just space

CianRyan

There was a site posted here a few days ago for custom made mats, weren't to expensive either. Can't remember it though.

Anyone know what the story is with autostadt.ie? I'm getting fed up with signing up to this "administrator approval" forums, only to never get approved for them. If you're going to have an approval system, you need to make the bloody effort to admin it properly.

I tried joining 2-3 months ago, got no admin approval.

Either make it automatic or get off your ass tbh :pac:

CianRyan

A bit useless on it's own I know. Sorry.

I had a quick look myself but nothing turned up.

Someone I know has a notice on their dashboard saying "If you steal this car, burn it, I don't want it back!"

Not a bad idea for Slane too.

We kept getting done down by Stackallen Bridge and on Slane Bridge itself.

They fleeced a locked van whilst some of the lads were standing down on the bank no more than 10 metres from the van !

It's nuts around there
