Why Are The Soles Different Between The Greasy Brogues And The Calf-Grain Brogues?

I prefer the texture of the calf-grain, but prefer the soles of the greasy boots. Why the difference?

Apcoa Parking

Genuinely might be the worst company currently operating in Ireland.

Due to technical errors in their app, you are sometimes (for me, always) restricted from paying for your parking directly by card, and instead have to open an "eWallet" account.

Conveniently, the minimum top-up for an eWallet account is €10, which their parking charges are also conveniently never divisible by, so you end up either topping up by €10 and not using the whole amount, or having to pay just more than €10 and being forced to top up by €20.

But don't worry about your money sitting around in your account, they also charge a 50c maintenance fee per vehicle on your account per month.

Upset by these terms and conditions that you didn't read because your car was sitting in a car park that you've already departed by train? Don't worry, you can easily cancel your account!

For €5.

How Much Can I Realistically Expect To Make Breaking a MK1

My MK1 225 BAM has almost 200,000 miles and has suffered from every common (and uncommon!) issue that TTs can experience. The bodywork is also in pretty poor condition, and I wouldn't be able to get much out of a sale. I'm coming up on a timing belt service and the gearbox also hasn't got much life left in it, so I'm considering breaking the car in my driveway.

Having bought parts for the car on eBay, I know some sell for crazy prices. How much can I realistically expect to make (in euros) breaking the car and selling parts in eBay?
