CoverInAClick.ie is who I went through for that quote, they gave me a better quote than AIG directly, (although it was only 30 quid less.)

I've been with coverinaclick for past 2 years. It went up from €950 to €1112.60 this year, but they just called and got me a quote of €1085. I guess that's as good as it's gonna get.

Outside Dundalk one day I saw an E46 with a blacked out windscreen. Fully blacked out. How it wasn't pulled over I do not know :eek:

Whenever I see this kinda thing - I have to wonder - where do these characters get the money, and if I'm "so smart", why can't I afford to get a decent car and ruin it? :(:confused:

Because you're doing it the honest way!

Just bought that focus estate. First ford for me. Nice to drive. Both the handling and power are alot better than I expected.

And the amount of money the dope spent making that 1.6 TDI Golf look like a GTI, he could have just sold it and put the cost of the mods towards actually getting one. WTF is the point.

The really curious thing is, these people genuinely believe that their diesel is better than a GTI because a GTI os heavy on fuel or too much to tax or some such.

I've said it before, but the whole felt scene over here is fascinating...in a way

fascinating and embarrassing

How do you mean 4 exit. I thought it was left lane for left(1st exit) and left lane for straight ahead(2nd exit) and right lane if taking 3rd exit(right)

I only do what the red car is at if I'm in a rush, and exit with caution!, for exactly the scenario in lightnings post. Be very reluctant to exit alongside another car particularly in their blind spot.

Had a guy decide he wants to go to the left lane on the N81 yesterday (he was on the right lane).

We were driving pretty much side-by-side, he indicates and doesn't even look to the left. I ended up having to swerve left and thankfully nobody was there to my left, trying to get into the turn left lane :rolleyes:

Just back from being at a friends garage, where he purchased himself a 04 318ci msport, apparently its the dogs dangles but i know not of this witchcraft :pac:

Proceeds to give me stick about owning a saab as he always does, and says his new car would be miles cheaper to insure as, it's newer, better, and not a saab :pac:

He proceeds to ring a good few insurers, the cheapest comes in an a eye watering 4K and this lad has been driving for a good long while, late thirties no accidents, no points and a good no claims bonus

It amused me to great extent

Tell him The Goose Sez: There's nothing cooler than a Saab. Nothing. Possibly, the Lord help us, not even a Jaaaaag. Nah, not really!!

YbFocus

That is quite a price, i cannot understand anyone that doesn't check insurance before buying a car!

Haha there seems to be a lot of that around here as of late :P But trust me no matter what i say, the answer is always, "yeah but at least its not a saab!" Must've had some traumatic experience with them or something

He used to but i figured whats the point, its only a car, no point in getting thick about it, now i just go along with it and i think it annoys him more, and whoever else

@Tp once you get your re-mapped now that the new turbo is in the only thing he will be seeing is the back of your car go into the distance.

When going to post office today (in a rush) I noticed a Vento parked outside Jetta and TDI badges as well as a US licence plate tub. Other than that it looked completely original. Could it have been imported from Japan or US? Or the badges and tub were replaced by someone? Hmmm...

I was going to take a picture but it was driving away when I went outside

Pov06

Saabs are pretty awesome and I'm sure a lot of people have a secret love for them but they just don't want to be seen in one.

The 900 Turbo is one of the best ones, IMO. I got a lift in one when I was a kid and I thought it was crazy fast!

Have to agree there, my 900 is silly quick, even though its not one of the faster versions

Well the Vento was always a Jetta in the US so prob just a pointless import. LHD?

I'm very well aware of that. Unfortunately I didn't see if it was LHD or not. Japan and US usually have the same sort of spec though.
