Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi all,
    Can anyone recommend a decent mechanic who could service my classic, specifically a 1980 mini, in the Dublin area?

    I want to try and get the car done before the decent weather starts.

    Thanks

    I sent them an email there! I'm going to be looking for a resto on another mini at some point, so I'll ask them while I'm there!

    I can also verify retro-cars, Shane is a decent guy to deal with and has restored a few minis and other interesting cars. He regularly looks after all my classics

    Have been in touch myself, very nice guy.

    Slow to answer email but easy contact by phone.

    No work done yet, but will revert back once done.

    Happy motoring ;)

    Yeah, haven't heard back!

    No bother though - I'm thinking ahead to bonus-time next month anyway. ;)
    Can wait a few weeks to get in touch.
