Avantime in Bray recently (I think they will have classic status, if not already)

There's an Avantime floating around Gorey which looks very tidy considering its a daily driver

It's mine but it's got an issue with the exhaust at the moment which will have to wait until after Christmas to get sorted.
Most reliable car I've ever owned.

Funnily enough we've had a couple of notes left under the wiper asking will we sell but that one spotted in bray was for sale for a long time before it was moved.
An acquired taste I suppose.

outside old FÁS building (I parked right next to it)



Polish Cash & Carry car park on Tramore road



LHD - I am sure this one will be sitting there for a while (damaged front wing, no plate... who knows what else is wrong with it)

I mean the weird blurred background that leaves a fuzzy 'halo' around the cars. it looks like someone badly edited the damage onto the front of the 200sx because of it

I know the fella that owns this, it's his daily driver - when he's not riding his Heinkel Tourist that is. The cortina is an auto, I drove it home for him many years ago from Great Yarmouth in the UK. It was a loooong drive..

I've been driving my '66 912 pretty much every day over the Christmas, the weather doesn't deter me.

Apologies for off topic post

Its a young timer. I love seeing stuff like that as it's what I grew up with.

I drove a couple of them as company wagons back in the day. Terrible cars, after the Fiat 128 possibly the worst headlights I'd ever experienced and as for the seats....my back still gives jip as a consequence of driving them.

Thing is a lot of popular cars were ****e in hindsight. And the worse headlights I ever had, worse than any classic I ever had, belonged to a 2006 Passat. They were proper dangerous.
