    Fixed my link there.

    Yeah, I went into Halfords afterwards and got 3 for 2 on Autoglym products. I actually didnt get a wax but got a car shampoo and some interior leather products. I think I will go for the starter pack with clay, wax, compound, and applicator next time. They are good value. I have another car that I need to compound so looking forward to that.

    Went for a spin up the Wicklow gap during the week. Some road!

    I know I would have had much more fun in my old car though. Seriously need a petrol engine back in my life. Rev the 1.6 Golf and it sounds terrible, it's like you're hurting it.

    It's so hard to photograph this car and make it look good. In person, I personally think it looks phenomenal.
    Whatever the camera lens does I don't know, but the proportions just seem odd and bloated in photographs, it's much sleeker in person.

    Great photo there 166man

    @ Voodoomelon, try taking photos from further away, and then cropping them later to "zoom" in (don't ever use digital zoom on the camera).

    I was indeed. I used to stay down there every Summer in Wave Crest so decided to take a spin down yesterday as I remember those roads being great, it didn't disappoint :cool:

    The road off the Dual Carriageway to Kenmare and the one from Sneem to Caherdaniel are just class.

    I used to spend a lot of summers in O Carroll's cove (where you took the photo) and one of the best drives I've ever had was from there to Waterville so I could get money to go drinking. Sun shining, quiet road and a rwd 6 cylinder BMW. Fantastic.

    Yep, that's what I did all the way down, threw it into Manual Sport mode and kept it in 2nd/3rd on the bends, can't beat revving to 6500!

    Regularly be down in Waterville myself...! Lovely part of the world really. The drive from Sneem to Killarney is the best though...!

    It's so good, everyone deletes it.

    Anything below 7000 is just measly.

    Really wish the plastics on the radio and the passenger airbag bit matched. They're almost like two different colours...!
