^ @ Duke - the first car I bought in my own name was an 87 Polo Fox - it had the twin headlight grill, 1.3, electric windows and was a great car for a young fella. Yes, I put up with the "Nun's car" jibes, I was rollin'

meanwhile, recent sightings around Bray/Greystones:

Not too many sightings lately, but this little Fiat has been owned by a self styled "Private Investigator" for the last 6 or 7 years. (His undercover car )

There's a nifty little feature here on the Gov.uk website; you can bring up vehicle tax and MOT status (including past results). You can actually get a remarkable sense of a car's history through it's past MOT results. Quite handy. And it's all free.

Haven't seen the saloon one in years I'd actually love the 2 door saloon model as a project they are so rare here.

No photo unfortunately - but I spent about 10 miles admiring the arse on a 1972 Volkswagen Combi coming from Naas to Dublin today.
It's 2 years older than me and seemed to be in considerably better nick!

A good day for golfing. (Another one and I could have shouted FOUR!)







(Last one was a lovely estate seen in the rear view mirror)



I like to give a wave to the older yokes when I'm in mine and usually get one back, but obviously the Toyota wasn't up to the Merc driver's standard:D

Saw this Beetle in Killeshandra, Co. Cavan. Looks to have been brush painted, and in regular use.
