Used to drive a nice 2 litre automatic sierra, white with all the whistles and bells, skirts, alloys etc. Have a pic somewhere if I can find it. WZS reg, 1985. Sold it for peanuts! Did the same with my Capri!!

Whereabouts are these 2??? Escort van is rare now!

Ballacolla, there's in Co. Laois as far as I know and they were in the county final or something like that lately so that would explain the paint jobs! Out close to Johnstown I think

What on earth do you like about that picture? Don't you have a car like that ?

dutchcat

Chevettes were nothing more than rebadged Kadetts.

I do..pretty much the same as the one in the pic,tho in slightly better condition;)
I just like the fact the car is so rotten compared to mine,and its well past it anyway.Sad to see it wrecked,but you cant save them all.Iv no idea where the pic was taken though.

and my trusty golf:D

carchaeologist

Fantasticly decrepit golf!!Neither car shows on mywheels either so they are there a long time.

oldskooler

jes a 132 diesel :eek: not much left of that!! the donegal reg golf id have been a cool yoke in its day too.

mamakevf

Donegal Golf is probably an import as the reg. indicates it being circa 84-85, but the tail-lights are pre-80 small type items.
Can't really tell if it's petrol or diesel as there is a lot of parts removed, but the rectangular air-box indicates that it is a diesel and probably the ,now rare , 1.5 diesel.
Great pics BTW.
