Do I have permission to send this to everyone I know with no context , just this eerie contemplating Corolla.

There are a few dealers here that deal with ex fleet BMW's from the UK. They buy them cheaply , pay all of the VRT and sort out all paperwork and then sell them on , for around the same cost as a normal used Irish car.
I don't really see the point. Plus most of those dealers are awfully shady.
The only bonus is to go…

I am incredibly excited to go on a track session with Ms Schmitz next week , this video though has slightly pushed me over the edge.
I may be frothing from the mouth.

Things are no better here in Ireland. With higher car prices and insurance rates then the UK , plus a smaller amount of used cars available. Its all pretty shite.
I daily drive a 2004 1.2 Seat Ibiza. I spend around 870 euro a year for insurance and 375 euro for roadtax.
To put it into perspective , my parents bought a…

Here in our financial mess of an Island also known as Ireland, a Focus ST will cost over $47,500 USD. Thats also before roadtax is included.
The most annoying issue of car ownership in Ireland is the cost of roadtax. Any engine over 2.5 litres costs about 1,500 euro.
I daily drive a 1.2 Litre Ibiza which costs 375 a…

This is a 2006 Ford Mustang GT, My father bought it a few years ago for 19,000 euro. He wanted something fun and different, not a bad price to pay for an American weekend cruiser. Now the reason I feel its overpriced is because the first owner , the man who purchased the car, payed all import taxes and fees and drove…

I love me some regular old Lucozade original

The 2014 Toyota Corolla, Available in Nyquil Blue

First thought upon viewing the 2014 Corolla: Well .. there is a thing.

They brought in the Auris , to shy away from the "old person" image the Corrolla was known for
then they subsequently found out the only people who buy their cars are old people.
The same thing happened with Renault. They discontinued the Megane Sedan , only to realise its one of the biggest sellers, So we have the…

In Ireland the Auris and new Corrolla are both on sale , occupying the same segment.
It is so confusing.

I do find Musk's idea of direct sales quite interesting , after spending two months in the states trying to buy a car , I got sick of the "sales pitch" concept very quickly. I understand thats how things are done and most sales people work on commission, but I got enough convoluted , confusing and down right incorrect…

so .. don't drive ..it???

I always thought they were related , but in fact the accord shares parts with the Rover 600

I thought that the Ka2 Badges may have been dealer installed. To be honest , it isn't overly noticeable but it still was a little annoying.
Hyundai Ireland until recently were dreadful when it came to car preparation. When my mother ordered her Matrix in 04, she was given the choice of Red or Black. They were the only…

That makes so much sense now ! That is actually quite clever.
I do remember my mother had a corolla with all electric windows but it had a terra badge. Im not sure if it was a dealer or manufacturing mistake. We never noticed until a dealer pointed it out.
She also had a Ka 2 without the little 2 badge
and now has a…

I always found it a bit strange that Toyota used odd little pictures to designate models on late 90's early 00's cars in Ireland and certain Euro countries.
Terra > Aura > Strata > Luna > Sol. I still to this day find it hard to understand which is a better trim level.
Oh that is a nice moon edition Corolla.

I used to think it did say V6. Admittedly I was young and foreign

I think if You drive that. You are the traffic.

As an Art student from Ireland , I would most likely punch that girl in the face, not for the despicable murder of two men
But for driving a fucking Panamera. Art students are supposed to be struggling god dammit
