BOF Posted May 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2015 Have you not had the astronomical rise of incredibly cheap hand carwashes in Ireland? They're everywhere over here now. I get my car washed nearly every week for about £3 So somebody else cleans my wheels No that phenomenon hasn't reached us yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hehe, That's a class wheel alright. A mate of mine has suggested these ones but they'd be an absolute bar steward to clean properly. Either of these Alfa rims should be easier to polish up, BOF. Or, if you prefer silver... Or rude boy it up with some gold bad boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2015 The golds are horrible. The rest are nice though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The blue and gold number is like taking an Boticelli painting and drawing a Kappa tracksuit and Croydon facelift on it. It makes me sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2015 With the baby on the way I need to upgrade my car from the Mini Cooper which is just too small. Thinking of an Audi A3. Need to find myself a good monthly deal!I wouldn't have thought an Audi A3 would be much of an improvement over a Mini Cooper from a space point of view. Bigger yes, but not considerably so?

omariqy Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 What's the monthly payments like? Agree BOF but I don't like massive cars so thought this would be a happy medium as my brother has one for work and it seemed pretty good in terms of boot size.

BOF Posted May 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2015 When I was mulling over what to get, the Volvo C30 took my eye aswell. That would be a similar size and option to the Audi A3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I Made the switch this year to Audi from BMW after 20yrs of driving BM's Worst decision I've ever made in my life, Ive had better service and customer care from buying cars out of lay-by on the A38 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Only sensible decision is Japanese these days. Oh and don't get a diesel, whatever you do. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/11571615/Dirty-diesel-cars-could-be-banished-as-Britain-ordered-to-cut-air-pollution.htmlTransport experts have predicted that diesel cars will be phased out as part of government plans to cut air pollution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one for the time I was abroad and it was ace, though characterless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Me and the good lady had a 10 year old Toyota Corolla once, about 15 years ago. Bought it for £1,000 from a back street car auction in Chorley. Absolutely brilliant car, didn't give us any trouble at all for a couple of years, then we sold it privately for £1,500. And I agree with Kingman above about BMW/Audi.

darrenm Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 My Auris hybrid is exactly what I wanted. Smooth, quiet, reliable and just gets on with the job of getting me from a to b with the least fuss possible so I can enjoy things that actually matter in life such as being happy and healthy. I was a petrol head for years until I realised the futility of it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
