Post a picture of your car here Part 4 (quote a picture, get a 24h ban!!)

Bit of a lurker here but enjoy reading up on the posts in the forum.
Here is my wagon after a long overdue wash. I have it 8 years, bought it when doing circa 30k miles per year, but having gone back to college I have been doing about a third of that mileage for the last few years.
Yes it sounds like tractor and wouldn't pull the skin off a custard, and certainly not going to set the world on fire, but this car surprises me and just keeps going. 260k miles up now (original clutch too eek!) and she owes me nothing at this stage. Here's hoping I'll bring her to 300k without issue!

Thanks man. I try (not as much as I used to though!). More importantly serviced on the button every time so let's hope there's a bit more life left in the old girl yet

Re the Nissan I'd leave the Jap front end, I think the European version looks crap at the front.
Speaking or Nissans, the other day I saw an Infinity G20 basically a Primera. Looked weird as fook with the American type bumpers.

Nice A6!

Is that a Skoda Favorit in the background Duke?

JaMarcusHustle

Nice and shiny for Christmas

Big thanks to Brian @ Spirit Detailing in Leixlip. The man is talented.

Hasn't had a wash in ages. Still really liking it though. I was thinking of doing away with the jap front end in favour of an Almera one, any thoughts?

I'd keep the front end as-is. Bit of polish on the lights and it'll look great.

That's an awesome ute.

Yeah, you know I really need to get around to that - I've had the thing three months and the only time I ever washed it was the day I got it but one of the days over the Christmas I'll give it a good seeing to

I heard parts of Monaghan got a bit of snow last night but feck!

Great job. The different number plate surrounds (surround on back, lip on front) would have me driven mad though

there's a yellow one doing the rounds in Bray for some time, often seen with a German Shepherd happily travelling in the back

I've read this a number of times and I really don't get what you mean, now, of course you could explain in-thread the exact details, arguments etc and so forth, but I am really conscious of derailing the thread so I think it best you swing by Sligo and give me a shout, and we take turns ripping up some back roads while we discuss the finer points of the above post, I'm free anytime.....

Ah now the e60 isn't exactly the most nimble of cars it's much more a cruiser of a car.

The differemces between my last car and current car e60 is night and day and I can only imagine that gap would be even more noticeable between a dc5 and an e60.

Does that e60 make a 'whoosh' sound as it passes over your head? :P

Cheeky gauge pick in the DC5. Im not really into them or the position they are in. Might take them out and wire in an android double din which can show virtual gauges
