First time I've seen an i8 with dirt on it. Fair play :pac:

Moved back to Ireland from the UK at Christmas and of course I brought the car with me, since it passed its NCT with flying colours last weekend and has managed over 5 weeks without anything going wrong with it, I figured it deserved a wash so I brought it up to D&D (in Cork) yesterday, safe to say the lads did a damn good job of it. Scrubs up fairly well for a 15 year old car I reckon!

Bought this about two weeks ago and I absolutely love it! It's hard to believe that I actually prefer driving this car rather than my 2008 Golf.

Unfortunately at the moment it is not feasible for myself to be running two cars at the one time, so it may have to go. If anyone here is interested let me know, although it has gathered plenty of interest just even being parked outside my house (5 calls were made the first week!).

If you can afford to keep it and judging by the pics you even have storage why would you sell? That is in classic tax territory very soon and well into classic insurance territory. It probably won't skyrocket in value in years to come like a lot of cars but it will surely keep a certain value into the future. I would keep it if I were you. Tax isn't even that dear to drive it maybe in the summer months.

Looks an absolute beaut.
If I had the space I'd take it in a heartbeat.

If I drive a car more than 10km on the light I start to panic wouldn't be able for that at all. Does the light flash on it Colm when it gets really really low ? Does on some makes Opels are one I can think of.

An orange "i" appears beside the speedo, thats really it.

colm_mcm · 29-01-2018 9:30pm

Nah, it tells you how many km you have left, I had 16km left at that stage, but to be fair you’d get at least another 20km after it hits 0.

And I know this!

The i only comes up when the low fuel message (or other warning) goes from the main display, or you hit the display button to get rid of it.

Toyotafanboi · 29-01-2018 9:45pm

I thought the "i" came on in the top display to warn unobservant idiots that there was a warning coming up in the lower display.

Noccy_Mondy · 29-01-2018 10:56pm

VW is so unpredictable from the minute the light comes on. Drops like a shot. Drove 5 miles from the house to a filling station yesterday when the range was at 0

Good luck with your latest rolla jou

Best of luck Jou. It's a very nice car.

Looking forward to what mods you do jou, best of luck

Toyotafanboi · 31-01-2018 11:33am

It's a sad day for the parish seeing the old one being put out to pasture. You enjoyed every second of it so hopefully the new one is as good to you.

Finally got a post winter clean in, badly needed.

Photobucket not working Killinator.

Yeah, seen that. On to another image hosting site I go....

Really thought Photobucket would have backed down on their policies by now. I don't bother posting pics any more now tbh. Too much effort!

Kudos to those who soldier on.

I thought they had backed down because last time I tried logging in it wouldn't even let me at my photos without upgrading.
If their end goal is anything other than losing users then I'm flabbergasted by their policies.
Either way I'll no longer be using them.

It's very annoying as loads of sites have DIY guides and the pics were all hosted by PB and are now gone. I use Ctrlq and find it good. Sorry to go off topic but no harm for people using this thread to know about other options.

I was just going to say the same thing myself.
Tinypic is one option for anyone looking for a free uploader.

Toyotafanboi · 03-02-2018 1:41pm

Yeah, there's plenty of easier to operate, free alternatives like tinypic, postimg etc.

wotzgoingon · 03-02-2018 9:36pm

That's what I use joujoujou. I'm curious as to what browser and OS you are running and how did you get attachments to stay active without a mouse rollover?

Firefox 28 on Windows 7 Pro 32 bit (however cheating with useragent reported to websites I'm crawling through).

wotzgoingon wrote: »

You mean how I embed them (my English is not good enough I'm afraid, so guessing now)?

When pic is uploaded I right click on attachment link and embed it as picture. See below.

If there's not you're asking, don't hesitate to correct me.

frozenfrozen · 03-02-2018 10:02pm

his mouse hid when he print screened

joujoujou · 03-02-2018 10:08pm

Mine too.

But only because I chose so - using Faststone Capture for screenshots. :cool:

Ah yea that makes sense. I knew he was using a different browser as when I roll over attachments my prompt is a white box with it written inside while his was black.

It's a matter of browser's theme (a.k.a. skin or appearance modification). I use outdated Firefox only because newer ones will not cooperate with my favourite Noia theme.

1st wash of 2018 today, last washed 26th December and have almost 4k kms done since. Longest I've ever gone without washing a car!

James Bond Junior · 03-02-2018 11:48pm

That is a lovely car. Don't know would I have the minerals to buy one though.

Bill Griffen had one for 2K recently for sale.

Only thing is I knew the guy that traded it in... He didn't want to part with it except

The gearbox was Mc fvcked and had a cost of over 2 grand to fix it......

vintagevrs · 04-02-2018 4:54pm

Car got some attention this weekend with the fairy liquid and brillo pad

Toyotafanboi · 04-02-2018 7:34pm

What kind of mileage is the 1.4 d4d good for? Bought this but have cold feet now.

punisher5112 · 04-02-2018 7:52pm

Don't diss the fairy or Brillo worked very well when I was a kid.
