    I went through a faze when I was 12/13 me and my mate used to steal them. Another friend of mines brother had loads of them on his bedroom wall. One time we were stealing them at backstreet garage, it must have been winter as it was dark and they were still working. Well this woman shouts out a house window to the guys in garage and we took off and they chased us in a car. We thought they were going to kill us as they had metal bars and we said we were playing hide and go seak. So they left us alone. I suppose it was more to do with our age, at the time we wouldn't have thought we were young but we were only 12 or 13. That was when i was living in Dublin.

    That car looks horrible.

    It could easily be mistaken for a mazda 323 or numerous other Japanese models from a distance.

    There are few things lower than tampering with someone's cars, any remorse at all ? Even a 12/13 year old knows right from wrong.

    Sure all we did was steal the badges. Every night in the area I lived there was joy riders robbing cars and burning them out. Some times a few cars. Growing up around that and drug addicts you don't think much of doing wrong things.

    I done it when I was younger. Was a little bollix with cars. Started off Robyn the steel dustcaps off BMW and merc had real nice dustcaps and put them on our bikes. We'd stroke the badges aswell and keep them at home ( stupid and pointless looking back now) but Mercia were the main ones we were after and odd time a merc truck badge would be taken and was greatest thing since slice bread.
    Gobshiites to say the least.

    Agreed. Back in the day they had their Accent battling it out with cars like Daewoo's Lanos. They've since evolved into an altogether different brand.

    Cops have as yee know got a huge batch of Hyundai and I have to say they look very well and have a little look of Focus and Corolla.

    I would buy one if I had the money.

    Drove all the 07 or previous models and found to be very good cars to drive.

    If they were the same price as the Focus/Corolla, which would you drive though?

    I remember when the american looking sonata was out with leather interior sometime around 1999/2000. I thought they were a nice looking car and was thinking about getting oneThe guards in drogheda had one and it didnt last 3 months. Every time i saw it there was more hanging off it. We see what theyre like compared to a focus after a bit of mileage
