    This old girl is a daily driver, still working for a living. Sounds like it's had a Perkins transplant. Ballyconnel, Co. Cavan.

    More spanish spots. It's amazing that it doesn't cost any extra to insure an older car here:rolleyes:

    I didn't get a photo and it's not the oldest car for sure but spotted reg JIv 977 today - an 85 toyota starlet. What made me smile though was the sticker on the backwindscreen...'I survived the scrappage scheme' :D

    89 Diahatsu. Driven by a novice driver. How the **** he got insurance on that and I can't get it on my grandfather's 02 C180 Merc is beyond me.

    About 12 years ago I was bombing along the N11 before Bray in my Fiat 128 3p. A couple of mates on board too. I was doing quite a bit more than 120kph too. ;)

    Imagine my surprise when an old type Mini passed me like I was going backwards!:pac:

    Rough border county boyos used to employ this very mindset when it came to Laguna splitters back in the day :P

    Reputed to do more than 100 mpg. When new.

    I don't know why there isn't a modern equivalent. Maybe newer yokes are too heavy.

    Kia did (maybe still do) a 1.1 diesel Rio..which, surprisingly, don't seem to be that common.

    I've heard great things about these old diesel Charades though..mainly the succeeding model to this.

    So did I till I hit the wheel of an unlit slurry tank one night and I had to be cut from the car because it basically folded up around me. Economical they might be but I wouldn't like to be hitting anything harder than a strong breeze in one.

    This is a local car. Perhaps my favorite. Owned and driven by an elderly couple in a classic case of car and owners growing old gracefully. It has gone a bit green lately though. And I haven't seen it around lately.

    Looks like a CitiCar variant

    Which I found by googling "triangular electric car 80s" :pac:

    (it's actually a 70s car)
