Love the old honda 50 (I don't think it's a 70 anyway) I learned to ride a bike on one of them it was ancient even back then I ended up writing it off and myself hence I never rode a motorbike sence I was a disaster. That one looks stunning tho.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago in Nerja, Spain. It was a wedding car outside a church.

It's amazing, once you start looking they're everywhere! Another group of nice 90s metal this evening, all within a couple of hundred yards of each other;

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.

A " remarkable " car with so much sealer , be it clear or coloured silicone,bitumin or playdo , around the windows that it cannot get above 20 mph all the way home to Tuosist .
Emmits a lovely sweet smell of burnt 20/50 mineral but is a nuisance of a thing to be stuck behind ..

Don't get the wrong idea but I actually did a double take as I was leaving and followed you in :P Thats my Tipo stopped behind, when I saw you had gone I just took a few pics!

Will you be at the Swords show tomorrow?

Might spin out and put a for sale sign on her.

I seen a 1973 Ford Capri 1300 stuck in traffic. It was in very good condition, and looked like it was well looked after too.:)

Duke O Smiley

A bit of filler and shes ready to rock I should think..

911s

Don't go too near that, probably full of mad dogs
