Lady owner. Undoubtedly a low level drug dealers car. Probably has it registered in the wifes name so the car couldnt get seized from the Criminal Assets Bureau. Although the irony is that its a crime to do that to a 406 and it should be seized on that basisWelly wrote:They said what now?

I've just got back from a funeral in Ireland (Nenagh). Don't go there without a 4x4; the roads are absolutely AWFUL with a few in such a state that the small sections of tarmac still surviving have become hazards because of their raised nature! 
My exhaust's blowing from the middle now, my blowing exhaust manifolds have gotten a lot worse, and I think I've buckled a wheel or two

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

WHAT???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Thats so funny. Thats where I'm from originally!!! My mother has a shop there. Did you notice a lot of Peugeots there? Slatterys of Puckane. Thats where we get all our pugs. Did you bring the coupe over??? I would have met you if you said. And yes the roads in nenagh and Ireland in general suck. High rate of road tax too (as I keep saying)

Re: Sometimes I'm ashamed to say I'm from Ireland....
Loads of 406s, yeah, but mine was the only coupe I saw. You may have seen it if you saw the procession going through town on Wednesday evening as I had to drive my mom who can't walk far... Stayed at the Abbey Court Hotel, which I believe is on the Dublin Rd and learned to use the entrance closest to the door at O'Connors else there's be a very nasty bang coming from under the careoin27 wrote:WHAT????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The worst though was probably the main road between Nenagh and Garrykennedy (that the right name?)... High speed limit and *mostly* ok, but plenty of very deep and exceptionally well hidden ones. That's where I think I may have buckled a wheel... The exhaust got its fair share of scrapings on that stretch too

Re: Sometimes I'm ashamed to say I'm from Ireland....
Ha thats so funny. small world. Im up in dublin working so id only be around nenagh at the weekends. Garrykennedy is the name of the place alright. My brother got married in the abbey court last january. Well other than the crappy crap roads, i hope you enjoyed the Irish trip. What was the family name of the deceased if you dont mind me askin?
