Just bring it to a local independent garage and get them to carry out any necessary NCT repairs. If you had of got the breaks done by the main dealer it would be substantially more than what an independent would charge so your still saving money despite the €28.

If you don’t mind complaining then you might as well but I’m not sure what they would offer you if your not willing to go back to them?

4D gel plates I think they're called.

Just an aesthetic, I'm sure the people that paid for them like them.

German plates aren't cool with the youths anymore so they've moved onto the "4d" and gel number plates

Ruined by yobs late last year (donuts, etc.) so the organiser gave up.

They started to have to park cars to slow people exiting do the classic 'car show exit' as well after some ***** put his RX7 into a hedge a few months before the pandemic hit.

It is still a thing, first Sunday of every month 10am until 12 or 1pm. Coffee delights Southern cross bray. The old organisers from backroads.ie stopped running them but someone on Instagram kept promoting same dates. The numbers vary a lot but typically 20+ cars, much more on good summer days.

The same event in Dundalk on same day has 200+ cars and more parking space. Much more popular with Marshall's in high Viz.

The crash at bray was an RX8, there was video of the actual crash and it went viral worldwide.

There is typically a few rx8s at the bray meets, sometimes rx7s and rarely the odd exotic old rotary, along with many other things. This month's theme is 4x4

If you log in here you can see photos if some exotics on recent Bray meets

This is from April 3rd meet. I am sure on first Sunday of the month there were cars there. It's often quiet after noon, but 11am would be peak crowd.

Everyone knows yellow and orange warning lights aren't important

I either met them, or a friend this morning on the way to work.

Couldn't see the car properly with traffic and the smoke screen they were kicking up. Had to let the windows down to get the smell out of the car, not ideal before 8am.

I leave my car at the pump either I'm getting fuel or not, the petrol station I use doesn't actually have any parking spaces

Ah here, do you not think they have the technology to keep track of fill ups. I rarely post here anymore but I couldn't help bite when reading such horsesh*te.
