    I saw an 87 mk1 Carina II liftback in Tallaght earlier. I couldn't whip my phone out fast enough unfortunately. It was faded red, and a bit rough round the edges. I pointed out to my missus that it was actually a predecessor to my current car, an 05 Avensis liftback.

    This morning on Western Road, a Rover P6 V8, red, on ZV plates. Looked a little tatty and the paintwork was rather flat.

    Only 15 years old but an interesting one with the light on the roof. What could that be for?

    Probably either towing an illegally sized trailer, or driving in front/behind a tractor or other wide load

    There is a ZV (I think) Bluebird and a 78 Volvo 200 knocking about here where I live. I see one or the other at least once a week buy never have the chance to get a pic. Saw them both within 5 mins today

    BMW 520 E12 in blue on ZV plates yesterday evening. It was weird seeing a 5 Series that looked so tiny compared to modern cars.

    Saw an 85 Corolla twice today.

    Not a Twin Cam or anything. Regular 4 door saloon. Seemed to be a daily too.

    The Renault 21 was fairly rare in Ireland - even when new - Renault never seemed to sell very many of them over here.

    Maybe if they had bought out the hatchback from the start things may have being different.....

    have NEVER even sat in one - but apparently the R21s were supposed to be quite nice to drive and be in - comfort wise.

    Dad bought an '87 Renault 21 in '88 and traded it in for a brand new 19 in '89 and traded that in for a brand new 21 in '91. He kept it until '94 when he got the Laguna. Always remember how comfy and cool the '91 21 was. I love the older Renaults, would love a 25 Monaco.

    Friend of mine in Wexford has a 25 Monaco and just recently a 21 Monaco. He's on the look out for a 5 Monaco now.
