No bother. I finally got one of that elusive Marina that's knocking around. I had a clean out of the phone recently, the pic is on the computer I'll share it with ye. Better go and do a bit of work, things have gone eerily quiet....

All white ones up this way, ours was n/a diesel still a proper little miser on the stuff and they weigh nothing as well so at least they "felt" fast, even though they weren't :P Clean ones are creeping up in value especially td ones

Spotted this beautiful Mini in Galway today

Was it in the city?
If so it's been knocking about up there for the longest of times I remember seeing it (or one very similar) around nuig when I was a child back in the late 90's/early noughties

This one was in the city about 6 month ago

So I've been getting a glimpse of the car in the first photo here for a few weeks now while on the bus on my way into the City. Never anything longer than a second and at that only of one corner of the car. I had it in my head that it was a Fiat 124 or equivalent Lada or VAZ or something. So I found myself nearby today and had a stroll down for a look-see, and was pleasantly surprised

As for the others - they were nearby so I figured I'd grab a few photos. Especially one of the Prelude. It has been there for years, and I thought I'd better grab one pic before its gone for good! The Lancia was just behind the Merc; and they were both glorious in their own ways :pac:











Edit - also can someone let me know if these images aren't loading? I'm moving over from Photobucket to Google photos but I'm having some difficulty with the settings on my albums so idk if they're showing for people without a Gmail account.

The insult to the poor 2002 to mistake it for a Fiat but that is a pure beauty I love it.

Haha, I thought you might like that one Jayo. Its hard to tell if its in use, it looks a bit forlorn but hopefully it isn't forgotten about.

^ great spots Duke, love the old MB camper, at a guess I'd say mid 60's? No later than that anyway.
Here's a Beetle in Bray earlier today, original Irish reg

It don't look like it has been there long usually you would see build up of dirt leaves ect under the car even after a few months.

It's a car that hopefully some day I'll own if I could create some space for it.

Some stunning cars there. On the other end of the scale, saw this unmolested morris in Kenmare today. A regular around there, one owner from new and still in everyday use.
