Bought end last year. Stuck a set of Uniroyal Rainsport 3 255/40 R19 on her.
Needed an OS rear bearing too.

Splendid.

Beauty, serious size of a yoke! Did I see it in Cork in the past few weeks? Can't be too many of them around!!

Not really an AMG, don't think its even a real AMG badge

It's actually a CLK 320, been meaning to get a new badge for it. Myself 166man and Quadrifoglio Verde all own it, split the cost in 3

You look to be fairly local to me, where did you get your PDR done?

It was done right there where those pics were taken, outside my front door in Gort, Co. Galway!

A guy named Darren, goes under Dentastic PDR Specialist. He lives in Athlone and going to customers homes, or businesses is part of the service he offers. He was recommended to me by a guy that owns a garage and sell's a few cars. For the job he done I found him unreal cheap.

What sort of money did he do it for, many dents? Have a few tiny ones that are bugging me.

6/7 proper dirty dents. The type of one's you'd nearly hate to wash the car cause they'd be sticking out like a sore thumb. He was the guts of an hour at them and charged me 60 euro.

That's very reasonable. Will def give him a shout.

All ready for the show in Galway tomorrow

Reasonable? Cheap is what it is does he charge a call out fee, if not he should as driving to Gort from Athlone and back would cost 25-30 euro so he made feck all calling out to you.

He does be in various parts of the country on set days over the course of a fortnight. He has a lot of regular work in Galway city and county with dealerships etc and I arranged with him to call to me when he was in the area.

Great day for a drive. Anyone hazard a guess what part of the country I was in?

Spiddal pier.

I passed there twice today, Padraicins was fairly packed with cars if you passed it going into Galway

I just Google'd that place, it is the spitting image of the place I was at!

I'll say either Westport or Cark somewhere?

Was thinking county Waterford alright. Sorta looks like fishing pier a bit down from the road between Bunmahon and Annestown.

Been a while since i was there but first thing came to my mind was Dunmore East?

It was a last minute decision to go anywhere and the plan was to go to Dunmore East but we were told in Waterford city that we were best to avoid there as there's filming going on and the place is crazy.

Tramore was grand but loads of rental cars around that apparently dont have indicators and cannot go higher than 3rd gear

Got the Saab 93 Aero back from the body shop. Delighted

Can't beat a mint aero in a swirl on a day like today

gave it a bit of a polish before the nct today. Failed on just a bulging brake hose.

colm_mcm

They're a cool little car in that colour,

Yeah, it suits the weather we're having!

colm_mcm

I'd paint or wrap the middle pillars black, would look good.

Yeah I might try that.

That's the lot from me for the next few months I swears :pac:

I could, but I'm sourcing an alternative holder for it at the moment rather than the standard one.

Looks better without it. Kinda like USDM.

That's why it's off at the moment until I sort a square holder

Ah fair enough. Just looks so lost and out of place on the dash! Makes the car look incomplete despite the massive work you've been putting into it to get it the way you want.

Yeah, if it could be plateless it would be perfect but alas, not in this country and unfortunately the holder I need is only made in the US :pac:

Nothing ruins the front of a car like a reg plate, it drives me mad.
****ed if I'm putting one in my Mazda tbh.

Just to keep with the thread, one of the pajeros I had in Oz, parked next to a helicopter on a pole.

Sure look, just make sure they're paid and you can stick them in the glove box incase of a check point.

Nope. Haven't been to Cork recently. It's a lovely motor. I am super impressed with it. Corners much better than my M5 did. Bimmer had loads more grunt obviously but this yoke applies it's power on bends much more effectively .
Tried to get a remap but my first attempt failed due to short production run of the 4.0

166man

Welcome back E39MSport, long time no see! That Audi is some serious motor, you'll need to change your username!





All I can offer is this yoke, took him to the Grand Canyon today. 1200 mile round trip and he did 33mpg, absolutely chuffed!

Me and the big Laguna went to the beach. Now to get the Hoover to hoover out all the sand...

You can still get done for not displaying them.

Took the Toyota out to the bush today. Got it a little dirty, the wash didn't quite go to plan. You can hear the water sloshing inside as I reverse back out

You should post the wash in the detailing forum
