This is Damien here, i met you on the Economy run to Clonmacnoise a couple of months back, and was very interested in buying the car from you. Had thought about it, and then went to the bank, but, as i already had a loan with them, the ******s wouldn't give me enough to lovingly take the car from you!!! I'd being trying to sell my grandmother ever since, but I guess she's safe now............ -------------

Thanks Damien.
As I told you that time Im only selling for house/marriage purposes. Dont be surprised if you see me back in it in 6/8 months time cos I'll be holding onto the guys number. I just need the money for a deposit. Once I get the mortagage etc sorted Im laughing! ------------- |

Cheers tman, I have to say i am more than happy with the car as it is, what i hope, the first of many ///M coupes. Its comos black and black leather, not an EVO but i think might be more enjoyable to drive! Had been to test out a couple of EVO's as it was my preference but realized i would need a pair of ladies feet to drive it. But dont get me wrong they are super quick, but this one i settled for is the best i've seen and i think you might agree with me on viewing. Its equipped with computer, eyebrows and the wider rear m/s wheels which sets it off nicely. The car is from the north and has been in Kilkenny for a couple of years and sports 95 KK 3 as the reg which is also a bonus. Needed Inspection II at purchase and after a few prayers, came through for me only needing new shocks on the rear(will be done in due course). Otherwise its munching tarmac all hours of the day and night. Looks like i might need to talk to someone about my addiction he he he ------------- http://www.BMW-driver.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=21 - http://www.BMW-driver.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=21 |

Richie or Niall, not sure which one of you were telling me about the Meguiars stuff for scratch repair. What's it called again and if you can tell me again what that place in Walkinstown stocks it. Forgot to ask one of you also yesterday but had to go, but where is the diagnostic connector on the E46? Can you reset the service lights like the E39 with the piece of wire across 2 terminals? I have a friend over here that has one and wants to know. Cheers. Tom ------------- Tom E39 1997 523i Oxford Green (Sold) ___________________________ |

It was, http://www.rallyschoolireland.ie - www.rallyschoolireland.ie they are based in Monaghan and have a brilliant set-up. There are three 2.1 Mk II Escorts, 2 mad Scoobydoos, a proper Audi Quattro and a Metro 6R4 - Though the new scooby, audi & metro only go out on special occasions. The track isn't huge but is well laid out for getting the back out..... The instructors are all very good and the owner even better (he takes you out in the scoobies) Very professional setup, couldn't rate it higher and can't wait to get the pennies together to do it again..... ------------- The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. |

Yeah been there about a year ago, best days fun in a car I had in ages. When we were down it was about -5 which give it an extra edge. I actually know the lads that own it ( I went to school down the road in scotstown) so we had a couple of extra runs. I have done mondello which was good but I didnt have as much fun as the rally school day out. Now would this not be a great meet, a visit to rally school ireland ?? ------------- Martin http://www.autoremap.com - www.autoremap.com
