    To register a car from Ireland in the UK the taxes will need to be paid regardless. As far as I can see cars in NI are no cheaper.

    I haven't actually had it valued but at a guess I would say 60000 to 70000 once renovated in this market. It's a 3 bed end terrace.

    you would be suprised at the type of cars being driven around here, very suprised

    and I am not talking golf gti's

    Its actually quite funny, there is a house in a place called shelton which the guy who owns it has knockd down a wall for off road parking
    The car... a lotus

    The amount of Q7's and X5's is ridiculous with ferraris thrown in

    £100 for a completely new bathroom. <laugh> And how the hell can you pay someone £150 to paint a whole house? Is another one of your jobs importing people illegally from Pakistan and paying them 50p/hour?
