Dazzler 16193 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I am shocked to my core to hear about a BMW driver not checking their mirrors. It's completely unheard of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying in a hotel in Derry last night and the underground car park is really tight so thought I’d reverse park. Doing a fine manly job of it, keeping a close eye on the reversing camera then BANG! I thought I’d hit my new spoiler as the sensors hadn’t gone off and it protrudes out from the back of the car but looked round and the entire back window was fucking smashed. Turns out there was a beam that sits out from the wall about five feet off the ground that neither my camera or sensors picked up. So just a little lesson to always check the rear view mirror when reversing. Everglades hotel in Derry is one of the best I've stayed in, (way back late 90's) that one by chance ? The bullet hole (not all the way through) in the armoured window added character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was there it was in the first ceasefire in the troubles, recruiting retailers for PayPoint trial (was a start up at the time) I asked a couple of them if I'd be ok going out for a pint in the evening, they said I'd be fine anywhere but if I was in a pub on this side (where we were) of the river, at closing they play the national anthem "just make sure you stand up" they said. Fuck off. You can stick your Londonderry up your arse, it's Derry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in it for lunch a few months ago and was really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in NZ, you probably cannot go wrong with a special Japanese grey import, like a limited STi something. Obvs you want AWD because well it's NZ but also make sure if you do get something like that, that you can get a Euro, US or Aust spec ECU as Japanese cars have a 180 km limit in their engine control unit, not that you ever will but just in case. A two door 22B would fulfil any boy racer notions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
