Where exactly is that dude?

It's Cliffs of Magho Viewpoint at the end of the Lough Navar forest drive (great we road up to it and a different one down from it (1 way system). It's a class view over Fermanagh and Donegal. From Enniskillen you head to Derrygonnelly and the entrance is about 5 min from there on the Glennasheevar road. It's not too bad as the Game of Thrones wombles never found it  

This blokes video shows it well (although not the clearest day for distance views). There are others spots within Lough Navar forest, skip to 6:43 to see this bit.

Didn't realise you drove down from Fermanagh, fair dues sir!! Lovely part of the world, have family near Lisnaskea, but not been down that way in a good while.

 

Off chance would anyone know a good Octy diesel £1500 ish without spaceship miles? I know that's a bit like asking for rocking horse excrement, but thought I'd try lol. Mate is looking a decent family bus. (not hinting at your green low miler Fubar, that thing should be preserved!!)

 

I've a set of front rubber mats from a mk2 Octy a mate gave me if they'd be of any use to anyone?

Ohhhh how much you need for the mats, I've not actually got fitted ones in mine and keep looking online but torn between carpet and rubber. 

You're welcome to them dude, I'll bring them to next meet or let me know if you're in Belfast any time and I'll try and meet you. The VRS has the fitted carpet ones already so I didn't need them.

Cheers mucker much appreciated. I'm not up that often, although I am about to get into the car and head up past Belfast now ironically to catch up with a mate who just moved over from England this morning, collect 20 litres of VW507 oil and  350 packets of salt and vinegar hula hoops (can't get them anywhere around here). I doubt you would have them on you this afternoon, but I may well end going up again in next couple of weeks as I'm burning up some excess holiday days at moment. I have a VCDS Lite KKL cable (can read and clear codes not make advanced adaptations), if it would be of use to you?

D'oh, yeah they're at home, I could be home by 4pm ish but have to pick up sprogs so you'd need to drop by house which would probably be a hassle with traffic etc? I'm near Blacks Rd.

 

Gimme a shout next time sure and well sort something, I should have thought and mentioned on here before the meet!

 

Cheers for offer on cable, but think I'm good............... touch wood

TBH I've been at it for years! A mate used to bring me over my fix when visiting his in laws, but they have just moved over here this morning so brought over 50X 7 packs for me  and 4 bottles of Quantum III Long life 507 that I ordered from Simpsons Skoda the other week but as with many things delivery to NI was $100 million or free within GB...

I drive for Ulsterbus in my spare time so am actually in and out a little but not normally for very long. In fact I need to get up to do another driver CPC module in Great Victoria Street at some point That might work I tend to get in early ish in the morning when I go up for that. The cable is dead handy if you have a laptop to just check any lights that come on or see what's not made a light come on to help pin point anything for full in depth codes. 

No probs, my work isn't too far from city centre so we'll sort sometime sir

 

I'm lucky to have a few mates in the trade who would do any diagnostics for me

Transaction complete and I returned to the sticks with my shipment under the cover of darkness and stinking rain.

Perhaps I could interest you in some Hula Hoops

 

Turned out to be short (thank christ) of what was said to have been cleared out of the local Asda. Gutted to be 3 multi packs short of the ultimate Hula Hoop reverse pyramid though  

Edited 22 November, 20178 yr by FUBAR

Theres 308 bags missing.................

 

 

 

^^^  I only like Beefy ones .........^^^  

 

 

 

Irish customs, Mr FUBAR why do you have 350 bags of salt and vinigar Hula Hoops,

 

(everyone sits in a circle)........My name is FUBAR and I like Hula Hoops   Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I'm an addict 

 

I need help................

You sick sick man! Beef ones are rank, only OAP's eat them. You can get beef and ready salted here in shops but for some random reason no multi packs of the best flavour on earth as eaten by Jesus himself just before the last supper! Wasn't 350 bags in end as KP have changed from 7 to 6 packs and only 42 of them (someone skimming some off the top), so 252 I make that. Came from England by road in a vehicle on a trailer, then in a vehicle on a trailer on the back of a recovery lorry to Shortbread land and over in the ferry to Belfast, so no customs involved. 

I also like cheese ones

Wash your keyboard out! Those are not merely 'cheese' those are cheese & 'evil' flavoured!

Ready salted are the same price but with only one flavour ingredient! That's just a false economy.  

Local mk1 vrs anyone?

 

I'm banned from buying any further car this year, bought another at the weekend.

You just need to hide one out of the way at a mates, then say you bought another as you sold that one! 

Don't tempt me, bought a mk3 astra sport on Saturday but might send it on again, too much work to do on it for me.

Edited 4 December, 20178 yr by cormac81

That's a lot of BHP for that coin!

 

Any pics of the Astra Cormac??

Only have a few.. would have been awesome car in its day.

 

So unsure whether to restore it, the engine was a selling point for me.

Potential there! Guy on my work route has two in that colour, 3 and 5dr, not sure what shape they're in thouh

My first car wasn't too different than this one, in ceramic blue so nostalgia kicked in.

 

If you ever see them for sale let me know please.

 

Might just keep it for the engine or if its in the way sell it on, there was loads of stock car boys after it.

3door or 5door this guy has both lying lol I'll try get pic sometime but one's slightly hidden by a fence/wall
