    Question for toyota fans. Ive heard tell of a lad in or near Dundalk who breaks 80s and 90s toyotas. Anyone have any knowledge of him, and if so, any contact details?
    Or anyone know of ANYWHERE breaking old toyotas, or somewhere that has new old stock, or specifically anyone know of a toyota carina ii lying up? I'm stuck for a couple of parts that are gone out of production.

    I don't know where you're getting that from. Motorcheck.ie says an '82 Silver Shadow.

    I'm not disputing the reg number, but its strange that it's listed as a 'Rolls Royce Bentley Silver Shadow'??

    It was possible to transfer plates pre-1987, if a vehicle was scrapped or exported the plate became available for transfer.

    Starlet man or whatever he goes by now in offaly might have one or two. He's awkward enough deal with according to some on toc irl though.

    He has adds for parts for 90's performance Toyota's on DD.

    The neighbour's kid has got the Learner Permit, so the L plates are up on the family Corolla. Ideal learner car, three years older than the driver :D

    There's one or two bucks who deal nearly exclusively in carina ii's up that direction too. I don't have any more info on them unfortunately but they regularly have carina ii's on DD priced around about the 2k Mark .

    Saw a 99 WX reg C43 AMG in Cork on Saturday night, was genuine too (glance at tax disc).

    No pic unfortunately, had no phone on me at the time.
