That Beetle hasn't moved in a good few years. Theres an old Isuzu Gemini around the corner from it too

Whenever I come to this thread, I am looking forward to (in my mind) 'proper' classics - quite often I am seeing cars closer and closer to my own '99 Avensis

This is the "oldest car you saw today" thread. Go over to the "today I saw a classic and took a pic" thread for what you want.

Was behind this in my locality... Was a bit smokey, why don't you be a helpful individual and tell the owner his head gasket is on the way out...

Duke O Smiley

Can't say I recognise it.

I can't remember seeing many in that colour

Lovely nova down near Markievicz Park on county final day. Showing as a 1.2 merit plus on cartell but had all the Sri goodies so I'd say the 1.2 engine has been replaced too. Had a childs booster seat in the back and all so it's earning it's keep.

OK, so I didn't see it today, but Cavan Civil Defence have been running this VW LT ambulance for decades, and it's a familiar sight around the county at public events.
It's just been donated to a Fire and Ambulance charity in Africa, fully equipped and loaded with medical supplies and equipment from the fire service etc.
