Spotted a mini pick up on trim to navan road. Seemed to be navy blue. Pick ups are extremely rare these days

Forgot about this, around 4 weeks ago in Whitegate, Cork. Old dear doing her shopping in it :cool:

About to meet a sad end, two more useable run-abouts.

Toyotafanboi

That's a sin, particularly the fiesta. bit of rot on it but original down to the hub caps. They will be and already are quite a collectable car.

Corolla looks clean too.

Two more photos. these are from about 3 weeks ago, as my wireless internet has been so slow lately that I couldn't upload anything. New provider yesterday, so back on air!

Ballsbridge, Dublin.

feck sake, the number plate is killing that old Beemer, what a sin. i don't think a plastic plate was the right choice but no matter what it will always look odd with such a ridiculous number.

Couldnt agree more nothing like an old black and silver plate, i dont think the wheels do it any favors either.

Not far from Dagenham. There is a Zodiac of similar vintage in the same area running around with a trailer behind it. Haven't spotted it fast enough yest to get a pic.

Spotted this on the road yesterday near lanesborogh

Old diesel

Not really on boards these days - but about 2 weeks ago saw an Opel Kadett van - 1990 vintage in white.

Can't remember when I last saw one of those prior to that.

Looked clean and tidy

Earlier on in the year I was going to swap my 405 diesel for a 92 Kadett van. It must have been one of the last on a 92 plate, 1.6 diesel. Raging I didn't now but logistics were a bit of a nightmare, both cars on either side of the country!

Anyway








The T25 is owned by friends of my parents. They have a Morris Minor too which is a real relic to behold. The Starlet I saw today on the quays and the Fiesta is from a week or two ago, on a road I travel up and down regularly but I havent ever noticed it. It might be an Xr2 or some sporting model

Anyway, another little something that I picked up over the weekend. A 1.4 Sunny saloon, has only done 80-odd k and drives great. Its been parked up for the last year and requires a bit of welding to get through another test but I will get around to it in due course. Original dealer sticker, radio, wheel trims etc all still in place. And a tow bar!

I had an 93 kadette club back in 99_01 i was working in opel garage back then it came in as trade in had to have it, was a 1.8 petrol imported from south africa absolutely loved it i loved that shape kadette.

Forgot to mention - just over a month ago I saw a red 93 Sierra in either Cahir or Cashel - was on way home from ploughing

Old diesel

93 Passat estate last weekend

Apologies for all the posts - just remembering all these cars now

that xr2 is a friends car small world duke
he must have it 10yrs now so im suprised you only seen it now,

i borrowed it a fair few times and it drives great;)

Wanderer2010

I saw a red 1987 Opel earlier on today and in great condition and obviously well looked after as well. The NCT was covered until May next year! That's the oldest car I have seen in a very long time I must admit. I know people here seem to spot much older cars but in my day to day commuting I have to say the oldest car I see tends to be 97-99 there are just so many cars from 2005 onwards on the roads these days. I actually think 2008 reg cars take up the most traffic on our roads these days.

The XR2 is my old car, sold it about 11 years ago. Great to see he still has it. Absolutely brilliant little car, so original too. I would nearly buy it back.

And another old Merc

Furtzy2

1989 purple Ford Orion on the M50 this morning. Auld lad driving it slowly in the overtaking lane of course!

Zcott

Spotted at the MOT test centre up north. Apparently it belongs to the test centre to give new recruits some experience.

weird the way the car is so filthy yet the wheels are spotless. also weird that there is no rust to be seen. wonder is there many miles on it?
