Many of you are probably familiar with it. Whilst bored the other day I spent an hour or so, on the site trawling through a lot of interesting information about Dublin.

4)Fiat Punto, modified with expensive parts, often worth more than the car itself. True enough
Last week there was a picture of 'Spiral' from Big Brother 7 in a little box. It's gone now. That was a bit harsh I suppose.
