In other words, things work fine in other countries, without resorting to a halfwit system of plastering bits of paperwork all over the front windscreen.

What probably happened is, the other nearby countries brought in the law that required the bits of paper to exist and then Ireland, like the "eager to join the gang" Jack Russel among the pack of Dobermans decided to go the extra mile and insist they be stuck to the windscreen

A common trend for Irish bureaucrats, who always seem to jump from having no laws in a subject area at all, to bringing in an infinite list of confused and conflicting rules and regulations.

So I've bought this

La Fenetre

Restored well, that would actually be a nice rare RHD irish example. If you were really into it, you could drive that over to eastern Europe and get it fully restored for very reasonable money.

Thats a mk1 Mondeo is it? Very few about now

Anyway - my Skoda landed today. A bit of work to be done before shes fit for the daily drive but its solid enough in the bed and bulkhead.





And this was in the back, from a Mk1 Fiesta I think. There were two from an old Starlet but a neighbour took them

Not a mk1 fiesta, that's for sure. Looks Japanese.

I'm inclined to agree with Duke. They look like MK1 Fiesta wheels to me. Top work Duke, I spotted that and drooled over it.

Duke O Smiley

I just recognise them fro my Fiesta, maybe these aren't originals though!

There's a navy one of them Skoda pick-up's driving around the Carrickmines/Sandyford area regularly, an old dude drives it.

Hi guys, this is the design I had in mind.

Seen a blue 81-D land cruiser today, and a Toyota corolla WZS ??? ,time warp up in Sandyford this morning or something (no camera on me at the time)

Duke O Smiley

WZS would be an 84/85 Dublin plate

selous

Something around that, it even had (I presume) the original reg plate of the black plastic numerals on the red plate at the back, didn't look in bad nick either,

quadrifoglio verde

When he's finished you should buy it of him

It would make a fine car to drive yourself and your future whip to be away after the wedding :pac:

Don't know what's happening with the size of the picture, have to study a bit more. But if you click on the image, it brings you to the Imgur site, and a proper size image.

Do I have to tell you its a Supra?

Big Nasty

That E30 is always parked there in Dunshaughlin
