  1. Move to Cork I'll rent/give you a room in my house but we share your Supra , I'll build the garage too :)

     

    Haha, it could happen

     

    The Dublin ladies all watch too much 'Sex and the City' ; there Idea of chatting you up is to demand you sit in the cornor and mind there hand bag for a few hours while they go off havin the crack

     

    Non-Dublin women is the way to go ;) Kilkenny the weekend was awesome

  2. Threaten old lady to swap apartments :)

     

    It has Crossed my mind ;)

     

    Not too sure what to do; Was onto mangement and they said to write them a Letter, lady was very nice about it.

     

    Considering appartments 1-18 have the ability to park outside and inside but we all pay the same fee's , I think it is fair once somebody pays there 60 euro for access to the underground it is first come first served, nothing outside is specfiaclly allocated dont know why down there is, place has about 50 appartments

     

    Plus the lady I was talking to in the mangement comapny I dont think she was too impressed with the residents givving her a roasting, she recommened I move my car because one of them threatened to damage my car

     

    She was under the impression nothing was allocated down there like the rest of the complex thats how I got access, but now they are all having hissy fits

     

    Sharing is Caring :) ; I hate this whole appartment living, very stressful at times

  3. Shame not to garage a car like that :(

     

    Appartment living, tried to get access to the underground paid for the FOB

     

    They are all throwing a Hissy Fit, called into Number 18 and the lady is about 80 doesnt drive or have a car but wont let me park there :blink:

     

    Next best thing is a car cover, I am still persueing the undergorund though, we all pay the same maintaince fee but yet appartments 1-18 have an underground car park space and can also avail of up top parking when it suits :rolleyes:

     

    Am trynng to get a car cover plus the underground

  4. I own the Black one alright , here's some recent Pic's

    History of TRD Techocraft Built TRD 3000GT

    ------------------------------------------------------

    In 1998, Toyota Racing Development [2] offered an official kit body conversion and tuning program for MR2 owners to transform their existing SW20 MR2 into a widebody TRD2000GT kit replica car. This was to pay homage to the wins by their TRD2000GTs in the GT-C Japanese racing series, the TRD2000GT racing series cars were based on the SW20 floorpan. Toyota also did the same with their Supra Twin Turbo model, offering a conversion service to transform these cars into a TRD3000GT [3].

     

    The TRD 3000GT was first shown at the 1994 Tokyo Auto Salon much to the delight of Toyota fans and tuning car fans in general. The JZA80 Toyota Supra was already well recieved, and for TRD to bring out such extreme parts for it was sensational at the time. The TRD 3000GT body kit extended the guards by 50mm changing much of the entire exterior of the car, leading some people to belive it were a low production vehicle along the lines of RUF Automobile GmbH (Porsche).

     

    In order to ensure exclusivity, a high price tag was charged and total of just 35 factory car conversions were completed by Toyota Technocraft Ltd. ( http://www.toyota-ttc.co.jp/english/index.html) Each official Technocraft car converted was made using lightweight fibreglass components (in place of heavy steel original parts: front fenders, trunk lid extension, rear quarter panels, gas door, front and rear bumpers, 3-piece wing) and re-classified as completely new cars (with their own specially numbered TRD vin plate riveted to the body to indicate their authenticity and rarity).

     

    As is typical amongst the Japanese 'Works Tuners' (TRD, Nismo, Mugen, STi, Mazdaspeed, Ralliart etc), the engine of the TRD 3000GT at the time of it's release was left close to standard, but with a full exhaust system and suspension modifications added to give a reasonable upgrade in performance over the already powerful base car. Later, engine packages were available which were released in stages going from mild street performance to 'hard tuned' packages illegal for street use.

     

    The original 1994 debut car though was all about properly functioning aerodynamics as opposed to outright speed, with Toyota investing a lot more financially into developing the 3000GT kit than previous attempts, using wind tunnel testing and 3D simulations to gain the best compromise between functionality and appearance. The engine was completely stock at the time of the TRD 3000GTs announcement, but later upgrades were developed for big increases in horsepower. A complete TRD 3000GT with the parts installed by Toyota, while not impossible to find, are still one of the most sought after JZA80s.

     

    Only 3 complete Toyota Technocraft Ltd. cars are known to have been shipped into Europe with only 10 complete cars allocated to TRD USA for the entire American market. This makes these officially built Toyota Technocraft Ltd. The car track width is extended and body dimensions dramatically changing the cars overall visuals, giving the car a "supercar" look, and also better handling and weight reduction. Very little is known about these cars outside of Japan.

     

    The complete wide body TRD 3000GT kit including front fenders, rear fenders, side skirts and front and rear bumpers weighed in at 971,250 yen(!), with the addition of the aero bonnet (210,000 yen) and the rear wing (140,000 yen) bringing the total package price to 1,321,250 yen… not including installation…

  5. I got a punture last week and put on the space saver today, I tried to move the car out of the underground up a steep incline but the space saver just kept spinning . So had to give up and park her up, is it c tyre or diff issue,she has the carbonetic carbon lsd

  6. Move up north £215 for 12 months tax lol

     

    On a serious note it's cheaper for me to book a holiday for a week to spain than it is to travel to Dublin 100 mile away for the weekend

     

    You would be surprised how many times I considered that in the last few weeks plus close to SSI ;)

  7. I am back on Public transport, for all the unwashed

     

    Pisses me off I am getting raped using public transport too, 65 euro a week to and from work (40KM) plus I get the benefit of a daily dose of Junkies and drunks getting argo with me over not giving them a euro while I wait

     

    Sooner I get me a 400 euro Micra the better , its cheaper than public transport if you believe it or not

  8. To top it all off the new Tolls are taxes are getting pinned on the lower salary area's, the N11 "would be extremely difficult, both politically and practically."; whats the conincidence this sercvices the area most of the weathly and politicans reside

  9. It is going to go to the wire where the EU wil step in and we wont be drawing on our own budget but the EU will be dictating the cuts.

     

    Its a sinking ship and going down fast and a 3.0 TT Supra will be on the hitlist

     

    Politicians over here are too blind sighted to admit or foresee what will happen, there figures dont add up to cuts versus debths we owe based on what they told us, as Mark said the Debth figure is goes up each week
