I HATE CARS!

Well today is pay day and already it's taken a dent!

Had to get a new 17" tyre on the 19, while there had the tracking checked and sorted (was a mile out) relieving me of Â£100.

Before I had that sorted out I limped the Clio round to Bryan's to have the clutch cable sorted out and parking brake looked at (sounds like calipers' seized on the disc).

Don't know what the damage on that will be. But nonetheless it doesn't sound good when you can say that both your cars have been into a garage to have repairs done.

At least it's less things to worry about. All that's left on the Clio is a front bearing and then *fingers crossed* it should be a while before owt else crops up!

Rant over.

Don't I know it! I've decided the 19 vs Clio war, the 19 wins in handling while the Clio wins in performance, so naturally I've decided that if I sell the Clio I'm getting a 19 16v to replace it.

To be fair though the problem with the Clio was my own doing. I went too far too soon!

Ben theres 19's here at Chris H's 19 16V superstore!

The clios to low as well which ruins its handling. You usign the 15's or the 16's?

15's at the minute mate, tyres are already bald on the inner edges!

Gonna raise it a bit or get shot. If you've still got the white Chammy I'll take it!

Ah Ha!
This trip must be in the subscribers area.

Via Dublin or Belfast then?

If it is Dublin, good luck as I can never find my way through that place.

If it's Belfast, then I can meet for a chat or whatever.

Well, have a good time whatever way you are going.

Fasten your seat belts then (If there are any!!).

Just noticed a few comments about getting a passport. You don't need a passport to fly to Belfast (Easyjet) and take the bus across the border. A driving license or ID card will do.
