Post a picture of your car here, part 3 (Quote A Photo, GET A 24 HOUR BAN!!!)

Feck that craic, leave an OTT CD in there to really freak the new owner out!

colm_mcm

I test drove a brava in 00 and Elastica 2:1 (from trainspotting) came on the radio. That song was used on the tv ad for the bravo/a, saw it as a good sign and bought it.
(Turned out to not be a great idea but that's another story)

My first car came with a hole in the boot, the passengers footwell, some very dubious brakes and a need for constant carb tuning. I wouldn't mind if that was 1948 but it wasn't , its was 1993 :eek:

Did you not test drive it, or even inspect the car before you bought it?

Nope. One of the lads asked me did I have 40 quid and it just so happened I did. 2 minutes later I was the proud owner of a 1978 Mini 1000. That was all that was needed for car ownership

Gone are the good oul days. NCT has this country ruined.

Found certain blue tablets under the seat of a car we bought, with the owners name stamped on them.......

Anyone leaving CDs in cars and not having this as the only track is seriously missing a trick

Thats a friggin great idea, 12 tracks, all Rick Astley. We are getting off topic so another quick pic from today.

Go on..... I'm half thinking of one of these myself. What put you off?

Sorry about the delay replying.
it came down to a few main things
1) it felt cheep/shoddy inside particularly the button for opening the glove box
2) it didn't feel as comfortable as i thought it would on back roads
3) its quite snug inside
4) dipped beams were awful [could be set wrong] but there self leveling so....

The 2 cars i was comparing it to are a 09 Audi A6 S-Line and a 10 Skoda Superb far better cars IMO

Honestly I'm surprised that the Superb was better, the Jag is a bit of a false economy so. It's unfortunate because it's such a nice car to look at.

The loan car I had during the week had a CD in it titled "Hurlin'".

Silver Focus by any chance? Think I had the same replacement car a few weeks ago, certainly had the same cd in it...

Yep

As generic as hurlers and their tastes can be, I doubt this is a coincidence!

Probably won't use the Kahns I got so I bought genuine 18" Skoda Neptunes with Continental Sport Contact 2s.



Must wash the car and get better pictures.

What level tints do you have on the front if you mind me asking? Do they make much difference to vision at night. Interested in doing this myself.

I had tints in the front of my old Honda Civic a few years ago, don't know what level they were but they were dark. Made no difference to visability day or night.

I'm not too sure what level as they were on the car when I bought it, I'd say 30% or 15%. They make a tiny bit of difference to vision at night but I like the tints. Will take them off for the NCT and get someone to put them back on afterwards.

Mmmmmmm


Probably the only time I'll get all 3 somewhat into one photo no the E34 isn't going green

Got this for going in and out of work. Automatic, Only 30000miles, all electrics, A/C. Great on fuel. She will only be doing about 30km a day.

Two nice cars there lads, loving Colts lately.
I'll link to a really nice build later, on my phone now so I'm not arsed looking for it.

Needs MIVEC

Paddy@CIRL

Decided today that I'm going to hang onto it for another year. This picture taken after its last wash back in November is part of the reason why I'm keeping it.

That's what i said until the right car popped up a week later.

My solution for this is to prohibit myself from looking on CarZone, DoneDeal, Pistonheads, Autotrader and UsedCarsNI. I'm not sure what other websites there are but I'll have to manage

I couldn't manage that, I haven't 2 cents to rub together but still need my daily done deal fix. SO ADDICTIVE, there should be a support group or motors forum to discuss the problem :pac:

When my girlfriend catches me looking, she gets angry.

"Are you planning on buying another at or something?!" :pac:

In fairness what has she to be getting angry about it's your money
