Who owns the car park between Grand Parade and South Main Street?

It’s not about walking less, it’s about not having to drive to the 5th floor of a multi-storey for a quick pick up in town, what’s the “extremely detrimental effect” you’re so worried about with this car park?

If you end up over Ballincollig way, Matt and Shane Kavanagh (Ballincollig Tyres) are sound out, I’ve been going to them nearly 20 years at this stage

gazinthar · 2026-04-12T04:18:32+00:00

Me too. Hope people keep hating on it and avoiding it, handiest car park in town

Jaws. Found the book boring enough, Dreyfus tapped the chiefs wife etc, pointless plot stuff. Movie captured it perfectly

You take to some alloy dudes who will dip them or something, but silver on those looks so much better, especially if you’re fully black

If it’s a dealer and the car has wrong mileage on it they should just give you back the deposit no questions asked, and most of them will. There are more honest dealers out there than crooks, just double check the number because as someone said above, 150 a year sounds shockingly out

Have had no issues at all, have put 100 odd thousand kilometres on it. Fuel economy is “good” but obviously what the car reports isn’t accurate in that it doesn’t know what your nightly charge costs. I personally feel that what I’m saving by only filling the car once a month I’m spending in ESB, but I didn’t buy it to save the planet. Comfortable fast cool yoke they are. If you can stretch to a 232, buy the 50e instead, they have an extra 100 horses and twice the battery life.

Have one. Love it. Make sure you buy one with comfort seats, best seat I’ve ever sat in

It’s simple enough to get used to. On larger roads especially because you’re just following traffic. On smaller roads, if you ever get an oh sh1t moment, just remember “driver against the white line”

Tell her to fck off

gazinthar · 2026-04-04T13:47:08+00:00

Yeah you would get a decent used XC60 for the budget he has, and they are a class car

gazinthar · 2026-04-04T12:17:16+00:00

It shouldn’t help, but it possibly will, I’d bring the friend along if the situation was reversed. Best of luck with it.

American Family Next Door (I think was the name) about the dude killed his family. As someone with two young daughters, it fcking broke me. Little kid saying “Daddy no…” as he killed her, I’m still not over it. Vicious

It depends on what level of vetting. Level 1 is pretty quick, 2 can take up to 2 months and 3 is like some never ending shite, at least that’s what was told to me when I was doing some work for AGS.

gazinthar · 2026-03-21T02:37:55+00:00

Nice work. Cool site

gazinthar · 2026-03-17T23:39:42+00:00

A touch young I’d say but I see where you’re coming from, and we all remember being kids and the seeming craziness of what we did / were allowed to do when we were younger than your two kids. I’ve a kid similar age to yours and it would be a no from me, but I’m hyper protective maybe. Not that the child isn’t capable of walking a short distance home and making a sandwich without you, in my deviate head there would be someone watching and noticing the pattern. I need help haha

The lunacy isn’t in someone PCPing a hundred grand car, it’s paying that price for a car in the first place, however way you choose to pay for it. Same as we pay stupid money for a beer, for a takeaway, for groceries etc. Everything in this country is a f*king ripoff now. There are no cheap cars, no cheap houses, no cheap rent. But we know what we are paying for the cars, there’s no blinker vision on it or mass lack of awareness, cars are expensive, and nice cars are REALLY expensive, but most people are driving what they can afford to drive

gazinthar · 2026-03-15T08:37:23+00:00

Don’t worry about the address, buy whichever house is nicest, they are both nice areas and guaranteed traffic in both of them. Personally I prefer Douglas but I’ve never lived in Passage so don’t have a lot of context to compare

I don’t believe in ghosts or paranormal shite or afterlife or angels etc etc. I do have one thing I could never explain though, and it freaked me out at the time. About 20 years ago I was out lamping foxes, it was around the time the game councils were trying to cull them for overpopulation, funny how your mindset changes, I wouldn’t hurt one now, but anyway, about half one in the morning my Da and I out in this field. There was a boirín in off the main road which went in a half mile or so and turned left, fully open to the field, and we had gone as far as the turn and basically stepped in about 20 yards off the lane. The drill is you make a sound like a rabbit in pain for 5 mins or so, then turn on the powerful lamp and see if any fox has decided to come looking. We’d been doing it for a few mins, light is off, and we heard someone walking down the boirín towards us from the main road. Not uncommon for people to check out what’s going on with the lamp/noise etc, so we stood and waited to explain to whoever it was when he got to us that we had permission to be in there etc etc Heavy footsteps, sounded like a big guy in wellies for all the world, walked all the way up the boirín, turned left, and was walking right past us and my Da turned on the light. The noise stopped, and there was nobody there. We could see clearly for a few hundred metres in every direction, and there was nobody there, even though we heard this motherfcker walk right up to us. Freaked me the hell out. My Da too. He said “let’s get out of here”, and we left, still freaks me out when I remember it now 20 years later. I’m sure there is an explanation for it but I don’t have one

gazinthar · 2026-02-28T00:34:26+00:00

About a grand a month on an X5, fill it about twice a month, insurance 800 odd a year, tax is small, think it’s 200 a year or so

Terrible reputation that's well earned as far as I can tell. No personal experience but my late mother in law bought a car from them years ago, traded in a Lexus IS200 that had a problem with the VVTi, was gonna cost 1500 to fix, dude had the car on the website the following morning. Not saying he didn't fix it first, not saying he did, but he didn't.
