Absolute shed of a yolk with no nct, you mad!

NCT doesn't bother me really, I'll book the test for a month after I intend on getting rid of it. Haha

Any safety work will be done, if it's too bad I'll just walk away.
I've driven worse.

But, all the way over to Galway for that?

Would you not buy something closer to Dublin?

Nice handbrake she's got there :pac:

The fecking bricks!! :pac:
Don't know how I missed it.

There's a few lads heading that direction anyway, said I'd tag along.
If you can find a manual E180 that can be got for €300 close to Dublin, let me know.

We have 11 more posts left, we must only post if it is essential, no room for irrelevant posts. Oh the irony :pac: :pac:

I'll let you know if anything of interest comes in, though they usually go quickly for "export"

Non NCT'd yokes are the best crack and often the better cars to go for....

There's non-NCT'd and there's non-roadworthy :pac:.

I wouldn't like to be throwing a ball of money at a short term car.

Cool as it is, I like me some RWD.
I do love how stupidly low they drop.

It looks like an exact copy. How can they even get away that with?

I think you'll find it is an exact copy, not the first time they've done it either. They've ripped off many cars. They getaway with it as its China.

I'm not sure that report is right. Other pics of that car online are very different,

ba_barabus

We'll just have to wait and see.

In other news I passed what I think was a 2000MY Merc SL500 on ZV plates.....

Who is delivering them?

Happened me with a few things they appeared to be in a distribution centre but in reality were delivered.

DPD, they should make it for tomorrow, no way they'd just stop in Birmingham for 3 days like! Well that's what I'm trying to convince myself anyway!

Exactly who delivered wheels to me the other month, I'd put money on them being in Ireland. I had them delivered before it updated on their tracking system.

If you wish to request a call back, please press 1 now...

Another question lads, have to send back the old steering wheel to the UK? It's 2kgs in weight, anyone have any ideas for couriers that will get it there?

YbFocus

Check out parcel motel man!

Would work out at 16 euro to send the wheel to the uk but the weight is capped at 10 kg.
if parcel motel isn't an option due to the weight restriction, try parcel2go

Edit: And I'm the numpty who thought it was old wheels he was sending back. Parcelmotel for that size will probably be either 14-15 euro.

Alanstrainor

And delivery was attempted, and there was no one there...damn! Will have to get someone to collect them tomorrow. At least I'll have them for the weekend, should have it all ready to go by the weekend

140 bhp version weighs 1449kg, does 0-100 km/h in 9.8 seconds, has top speed of 206 km/h and has 320 nm of torque.

110 bhp version average fuel consumption: 4.9L / 100KM
140 bhp version average fuel consumption: 6.0L / 100KM

Research, and not exactly c+p, I used my own words. :pac:

Google itself has no information, and I doubt anyone can remember all those numbers. :P
