I rent in a pretty affluent area. You can see the difference between the new money and the old money just by the kind of car that's sitting in the driveway. New money tends to have a fleet of 05/06 cars parked in front as if they were on display. Old money will have a 96-97 volvo estate that hasn't been washed all summer and has a scent of dog from the interior. Some people just don't see the need to announce to the world that they've got money.
Personally, I drive a 1994 toyota carina E. It was handed down to me from grandfather->father->son. (and no, I'm not old money).
So you're a bull, then?I think this thread is finally dead, unfortunately........
Nice ride tho.

Has any else noticed nearly every single SUV/car bought in 05/06 is black, some with tinted windows. Passat/PATHFINDER/BMW5. Black is the new silver, lol
Ah ninsaga, my favourite crokman. How often have you called to have this thread closed down? The bulls are starting to get panicky now, so I expect a lot more of these type of posts. Once again, if you don't like the discussion, start your own called "property prices, the only way is up, baby", with its own kinky boyz soundtrack....well if one is trying to draw conclusions on how the housing market is going based upon the colour of cars then yes this thread has certainly run its course....
i heard that benchmarking for the public service can decrease their pay in bad times? any truth in this? relevance - many bought thinking their jobs and pay would be secure.
..there has been a bunch of Romanians in Cork for years...long before the Polish & Latvians arrived.
Why would they not want to come...sure for any non national who does not work here they get well looked after with state benefits.

Actually they build our houses, mind our kids, serve our food and are entitled to no State benefits if they don't work here - unless they are legitimate asylum seekers.
Focus group research done by the political parties shows that many people in Cork believe the department of social welfare give Romanians free prams, and buy cars for Nigerians. But intelligent people posting here wouldn't peddle such silly racist tosh, would they?
In a thread with thousands of posts, a little side tracking from time to time is not just acceptable, its essential. As for repeating posts, a property crash isn't a weekend event, it takes months or longer. So there is bound to be a little redundancy.My point is, what else can be said here that has not been said already. Some posters don't even bother hosting discussion..just pointing to (the same old) links on other websites.
Added to that if the best way of keeing this thread going is talking about the colour of cars ("lol" as the poster put it!) then it certainly has run its course!
..some are here to work...some are here for the hand outs...for which our guvment provide without any qualms ..... how many of these (polish/latvians/russians excluded) do you know that don;t have medical cards?

Stop picking on people and add something to the thread, or be off with you.
Eh, all of them.
Workers from the new EU states have been excluded from social welfare rights here. Those on work permits are excluded from free medical care, education and social welfare entitlements as well.
And they don't get free buggies nor free cars either. And they don't bleed lambs in their front gardens and eat their children.
You are entitled to feel uncomfortable about the number of foreigners here, but don't spread old wives tales.
Says he merrily discussing social welfare scams on a property thread. I won't feed the trolls any further, but neither will you get this thread closed....thank you for reaffirming & agreeing my point then ie. that this has now become a side tracked discussion with a level of redundancy.

What...someone challanges where this thread is going & you call it trolling.... oh I see, so you want to keep this a "bear back-slapping" thread then is it...with the odd offline topic.....(say anyone know what the latest fashion trend is in Japan - what car colour is 'in' over there....yawn).
