Do you live in Moyross?

Joeface

Nope I do not live in Moyross , I live out of county . My GAA soul cries a lot on the way home.

I was thinking getting a priest or a White Witch or Pagan High Priest to bless me or the car .

I knew I was missing something from the car ... might get a grotto built into the boot.

I am at cross roads now anyway , Repair of the car would cost more than his insurance would ever agree to pay . Have to NCT it with the damage as there may be other things wrong, could not be assed servicing or doing anything to the car. ...and Just decide what to do after that.

for got to mention that the guy that T-Boned me Drove off ....He Drove off .He turned up awhile later after I made a phone call and found out who he was and had him sent back down to the scene. Gardai were seriously pissed at him. as was I

On a '94 Carina E. Plus rosary beads, bottle of holy water and Solemn Novena sticker, nothing bad will ever happen again.

Joeface

actually have rosary beads thing in my wallet , something my mother gave me when I started driving ....Wrote off a car once badly I might add . 100% my fault , single car stupidity ...that was on my person at the time it broke I didn't . So don't mock it

Bottle of holy water in the glovebox, sorted

It was happening while I was a courier in Bucharest (the traffic over there is unbelievable).

1. I was driving on a one lane road per direction with 80km/h. In front of my I saw two trucks speeding, each trying to overtake the other one, they were both heading towards me, it was so scary! They got that close to me that I had to brake and had to reverse and run from them, after a few meters I hit an X5, both me as the X5 driver were happy that nothing worse happened. The truck driver avoided us in the last second.
- I had my trunk damaged, exhaust broken at the middle, tail light broken. His only damage was the plate number which fell.

2. Was driving my car on a ramp to change the fuel filter, while I was doing that I manage to slip on some sand and fell in the middle of the ramp.
- Managed to bend that part under the driver's door.

3. Once I was turning right on a main road and the car in front of me pressed the brake right after the pedestrian cross because some idiot thought running while crossing in unmarked places is the right thing to do. I haven't paid attention, turned my head for a second to say something to my friend and hit him.
- I scratched his rear bumper, a small scratch like 1cm long, I had a broken headlight and a damaged wheel arch.

In all accidents from above the drivers were sound enough to help me repair my car on their insurance. That was the only time I had any accidents in 6 years thankfully.

This is what I was driving hahaa

Don't forget the cushions on the back window

Funnily enough, I lived in Limerick for a year, and had 2 cars stolen from right outside the house in that time. Suzuki Vitara stolen and written off in South Hill, and a Skoda Felicia that was stolen and the guards spotted the guy driving past Roxboro Garda station when they knew he was banned from driving. They could have left him off in fairness, would have been no harm to write off that car :pac:

Is that a customized handle on the boot?

All Three cars ended up on that stupid Youtube channel

the last guy who stolen from me was caught 3 or 5 days later still driving around. Someone here on boards contacted me to say he signed up after googling my reg plate and seeing my post. He watched the arrest out side his house. Another Boards member PM to say my car was the gettaway car used when they robbed her garden shed.

When I got what was left of the car back. it had 3 or 4 petrol cans in the back , some really cheap booze , torches and smelled of urine . They stole my stereo and then put in a different one , cannot figure that one out. And i am pretty sure the Stereo they put in had a Shania Twain cd in it.

I had €200 in an oil filter box in the glove compartment of the Vitara. I'd say I was the 1st person collecting a stolen car from Garda Station that left smiling. The windscreen had been smashed with rock or a brick too, and they let me drive it from the Garda station with my head out the window. That's Limerick citay.

Joeface

I also got one of the Cars back and repaired it , pulled into a petrol station I never use and spent 15min explaining to the staff that I did not driven off from the pumps. a month earlier with unpaid fuel. Thank god for Taken pictures of every document relating to the theft and Garda Report.

If the op would have a Hummer, he would meet someone with a Marauder

ectoraige

I don't see the problem, just buy a new car every two years and stop leaving the door open with the key in the ignition.

savagethegoat

I see your problem OP, stop booking NCTs

Joeface

Ah NCTs ...the actual curse behind it all.

I have the video footage of the theft from work , man he is quick to get in to the car. Drives out slowly like he owns it ,even indicated as he left the junction .

Jesus.

No no, only sx model had that spoiler on the boot. The sx model also had air conditioned, whenever you would turn it on you would feel around 30% decrease in power. It had only 680kg and 37kw(50hp), 0.8 engine
