    Starlets are awful cars, have been since the MK1. Civics are grand, if you don't mind driving a car that's common as muck, and nothing special. (Which suits some people fine, no problem here.)

    Main thing i would like is just something for her thats goin to last a while once its given a good service (ie) civic. And by the way my last car was a MkII Starlet and loved her dearly, till some scum bag blew the engine outta her after reving the sh!te outta it:rolleyes:.

    I drove two MKII Starlets - my mothers - and they were the worst cars I ever drove. Dangerously underpowered, atrocious build quality, boring to look at, and just plain... just... awful!

    See? They were so bad they make me speechless. :)

    Agreed.

    Used the drive-thru half an hour ago, their were about ten scobes in the carpark gathered around a 49cc Aerox, attempting burnouts. Couldn't get annoyed as it's so damn funny... :D

    afraid the boy racers won t have a place to stay for very long , the esso station on the western road was sold the other day for 8 million euros. Muskerry Service Station (Esso) along the Western Road, and just across the river from the Jurys redevelopment was sold for a price tag in excess of €8m. The .6 acre site will continue operating as a service station until December 2005 (originally it was scheduled to close and be dismantled in October) - an application is currently being designed on the site. :):):):D

    Ya one night there last may i was at a house party and at about 5 myself and a buddy decided we wanted fags and cookies, he gave me the fags but said he wasn't walking down that far when asked for the cookies, we argued for a while than just gave up, as we were walking away we saw him walk down as far as the door to bring in the papers not wouldn't you call that odd.

    wow, €8 million big ones.. not surprising.. the situation is ideal, so close to town! I bet it's gonna be more apartments..The amount of student accomodation is ridiculous.. the UCC student accomodation buildings are all over the place. Bloody tax incentives.

    8.5 or so I've heard. Not suprising though considering the size of the plot and it's location.
