This was at the Terenure Classic Car show ; forget if you looked at it . But it was very clean, similar condition as mine. The guy who owned it was in his 30's Based on the condition I think she is worth more than 4K, she was stunning, nicest example I seen! Colin and Marty in SSI this model is what they specialise in, maybe email Colin for what to look out for [email protected] Marty and Colin have one each as well as the MKIV's, I know Marty has one running 500 or something stupid http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/270640_1651299262366_1833547789_1111187_7474699_n.jpg http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/264568_1651299462371_1833547789_1111188_4069083_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/270841_1651299782379_1833547789_1111189_7369157_n.jpg http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/261481_1651300102387_1833547789_1111191_2550439_n.jpg

I would say yourself a small fortune and the hassle, just use an adapter so you can send the singal via your electrical outlet or setup a wireless LAN http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_17?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ethernet+adapter+powerline+plug&sprefix=Ethernet+Adapter+

Illegal wire tapping they are trying to charge him with, they lost the plot over there along time ago He took his time to anounce he was a cop

Does this horror sound familiar to anybody, seen about 10 mins of it last year in Italy The kid was in a dull lite room in his house, he was snoozing on the couch and was woken by creaking floor boards, he opened his eyes and saw nothing in the room. Started to fall asleep and again the creaking but this time it was closer to him. He opened his eyes and seem what appear to be a dwarf type creature, the creature looked up , he shut his eyes. Next the creature slowly walked over and climbed on top of him, he then moved is head closer to the boys face so the tips of his hair touched\ the boys face inticing him to open his eyes. **I think if the boy did not open his eyes , the creature could not do anything , once his eyes where closed the creature did not exist. The creature moved on, the boy leap up and darted for the kitchen , got a knife with the creature in tow, suddenly his friend appears! **the boy told his friend and I think they got a book off the shelf, Supposly some myth about a forest creature in the area for decades It freaked the crap out of me !

John , did you ever find out the offsets of your wheels? Just curious if it matches my Calcs what I think is the correct offset

1/10 scale model?

Awesome car! One of my favourites of all time, only car I would swap mine for! Is that the Border three pod passenger dash unit? I got the Whifbitz one because I didnt like the screw holes, I used head gasket sealant to keep it in place so it is complete flush; she has not moved in 3 years, no vibrations either! Would love to see the bonnet painted white too! Stunning car though

I suppose that fair considering Xmas! I just use camskill because over in Ireland if you say 275 width to any tyre place over in Ireland they start grinning ear to ear ; they wanted 1300 for a set of Goodyear tyres when I can get the same ones delivered from Camskill for 6-700 euro I also found this crowd ok, got tyres off these before http://www.pneus-online.com/ French company I presume plus http://www.eiretyres.com/ (german company)

Camskill will probably be just as quick to deliver as your french company, I got tyres delivered from UK to Ireland , ordered them tuesday evening , arrived Wed morning ; how they did it I dont know

Its a bonus if the thread looks good!

Got some top secret bonnet struts about 2 years back but they never held up the bonnet; can you get these re-gassed or some how increase the resistance Dont know if other members had the same issue?

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Falken/FK452.htm http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Toyo/T1R.htm I am going to try the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta next, 10 pound more than FK452 but I heard they are a great tyre plus the thread looks damn good, if money was not object I would get Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 (http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Goodyear/Eagle-F1-Asymmetric-2.htm) http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Vredestein/Ultrac-Sessanta.htm

According to here she is only worth €3163 with an annual motortax of 1500 , ha ha!! I wont be greddy , lets call it 3k; you lodge 3k to my off shore account and I will meet you with the car just give me 48 hours ha ha

Only issue I see with implementing SCORN here is the cost to setup the IT system and the time it will take to do it; they are looking at generating revenue from this as early as 2012 so I cannot see a SCORN type system setup by 2012 The SORN system seems fair, if admin charges are reasonable!!!!Implementing that in this country may take years though with setting up a new IT system, database management and all the associated consulting fees and testing etc. Ideally they will implemented a system similar to the UK where the age of the car comes into effect and have a three tier system versus our two tier, I reckon I have a better chance of winning Euro millions than seeing this here plus on top of this They are trying to get older cars off the road so we buy new; VRT, VAT, Customs and keep the Car dealers happy But those figures in the article are over inflated , Government are treating everybody who has a car registered and out of tax as a tax evader. The vast majority of these cars are legit, if these figures are included in the next few budgets , I cannot see the Government implementing SCORN, it will be black and white, if it is registered it gets taxed! This year I only used my 3 liter, for about 30 days but have paid out 6 months motor tax. I would continue to pay the motor pax but I can only afford the 6 months this year. If this comes into effect I will need to consider selling up and use my 1 liter car full time. To me the government will loose more revenue in the long run, from me: road tax and Petrol costs , nevermind the knock on effect to a mechanic to service my car and the associated parts they make vat, customs on,annual NCT. If the government want to talk about fairness, me with my 17 year old 5K car and the other guy with a brand new GTR for 100K , both pay the same motor tax; if they want to be fair implement the UK three tier system. I am sure if everybody could afford a New GTR they would buy one, dont worry I am not holding out on Mr Kenny! If they implemented the three tier UK system , they would make more money from me than they are now, via petrol costs and maintance costs.

That is Awesome!

Found the Article http://www.examiner.ie/ireland/motorists-face-tax-bill-for-off-the-road-cars-177198.html Motorists face tax bill for ‘off the road’ cars By Gordon Deegan Wednesday, December 14, 2011 CASH-STRAPPED households will have to pay tax for cars that are "off the road" under controversial plans being drawn up by the Government. The move to close the loophole that exempts the payment of motor tax when a car is parked up will further anger motorists already facing a range of increased costs after the budget and families who have been forced to take second cars off the road. The measure is set to net the state €40 million per annum — just short of the €47m per annum the Government will raise in the 7% motor tax increase announced in the budget. According to an internal Department of Transport document, it has been agreed in principle with the Department of the Environment that legislation should be introduced to close the legal provision for non-payment of motor tax for a period while a vehicle is reported to the gardaí as being "off the road". The document states: "It is believed that there is considerable abuse of this provision and that the legislative change proposed is in the interest of overall fairness." The spending review states: "The Department of the Environment will have responsibility for the legislation and it has been agreed that the proceeds should be shared equally between roads and local authorities." The briefing document states: "The full-year benefit to this department, when fully implemented, will be at least €40m. We have assumed that it will take a couple of years for a full culture of compliance to emerge, and have therefore built in an expectation of around €13.5m in 2012, €26m in 2013 and the full €40m in 2014." Figures provided by the Department of Transport show motor tax receipts were €1.06 billion in 2008, reducing to €1.024bn last year, with final receipts for 2011 expected to be in the order of €998m. Director of policy with AA Ireland Conor Faughnan described the new measure as "unfair". "Natural justice would suggest that if you are, say for example, a doctor and working abroad for six months, you should not have to tax your car back in Ireland for that time when it isn’t in use." Mr Faughnan said the new measure "has nothing to do with good governance. It is just another way of raising taxes and clearly penalises motorists who don’t have their cars on the road". Mr Faughnan said the move is not about closing a legal loophole. "It wasn’t a loophole. It was clearly provided for, that if your car was off the road, you didn’t have to pay road tax. "The €47m from the increase in road tax and the €40m from the closing of this provision is a lot of money, but it is quite small compared to the €4bn the Government generates in fuel taxes. "There are a suite of taxes against the motorist that are riddled with unfairness," he said. However, Fianna Fáil’s transport spokesman Timmy Dooley said the loophole is being widely abused. "From reports from Garda stations around the country there has been, I understand, a significant element of tax evasion going on by motorists concerning the ‘off the road’ provision. "The McCarthy report identified this loophole and the closing of it can generate significant revenues and it would lead to greater equity in the paying of motor tax," he said.
