    Maybe dealer shut up shop, or was more unfortunate ?

    Any pictures?

    What date is on the tax/insurance disc? '

    No pics. I presume the 99 trade plate means thats when it last moved. As I say, it's parked in that flat complex for some time. Old 'ACE' plates on it as well. Only guessing an SI reg.

    One of the Jetta's is road worthy. Its a 1.5 petrol. I am only the second owner. 65 K miles and in lovely order.

    I have two diesel Jetta's which with a bit of time and TLC could be put back on the road but they are way down my list of priorities. I will get around to one of them at some stage. I have a Hillman Imp Van, Merc, 2 Beemers which are ahead of the Jetta's in the Queue..

    Does anybody know where there are some scrapyards with older models?

    I mean eighties and seventies cars.

    Scrapyards where you can walk around them yourself.

    How long do they tend to keep old cars like this before destroying them?

    Do they let you walk around yourself? Can you see the cars from the road or are you a regular visitor?

    Hard to tell really. Most cars there can last anywhere between a week to a few months, depending on the condition of them and how much parts are striped off them.

    This bug has been sitting (abandoned, no taxor anything) in a Ballybough lane since 2002. Looks good underneath. Emilio might know about it as his details are on rear reg.

    I saw a sky blue Beetle today in Knocklyon, it was on pre-'87 plates, however it seemed to be a German import (going by the 'D' sticker on the back of it and it being LHD).

    No picture unfortunately.

    I saw a field beside a house during the week with 2 of those Charade's - both red - and still looking good, parked beside one another......

    If anyone's interested, PM and I'll approach the owner.

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
