Saw a purple.:( in the colour of that smiley....urgh Wolesley version of the BMC 'landcrab' today around Gardiner st. Taste is personal but for me it was the most naff car I've ever seen.

Wishbone Ash · 03-02-2007 11:10pm

A few classics spotted on the back streets of Rome yesterday.

Wishbone Ash · 04-02-2007 2:49pm

Here's a few more from Rome (apologies if I've got any models named incorrectly).

I keep thinking that's Niall Tobin in that Escort. :eek: What I love about it is that he doesn't look like an enthusiast but someone who has had the car since 1977 especially if it had an original reg.

That's Ger Noonan driving the brown Escort, he has owned it for a few
years ,also has an original Irish 48 Anglia, & 68 Morris Minor, so I suppose
u could call him an enthusiast !!!

Smoggy thats an SL (proberly a 280/350) with unmatching wheels! :eek:

Could have been made any time between 1971 and 1989.

Mike.

Eric318 · 11-02-2007 6:12pm

I saw a Renault Avantime today, near Balbriggan!!! With only 2000 ever sold, that was a rare sight!

Max_Damage · 17-02-2007 7:03pm

I just saw a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing (53-D-XXX) today going past Nutgrove shopping centre. I was cycling at the time so no picture. It's not a car I would want to run into the back off.

I posted this in the other similar thread in the 'Motors' section, but I think it would be more suitable here.

Wishbone Ash · 22-02-2007 2:27pm

Original Dublin registered Rolls Royce spotted at Blake's Cross, Lusk this afternoon.

Max_Damage · 23-02-2007 1:20pm

I saw a Volkswagen T2 Kombi in Knocklyon today, a blue one with sign writing all over it for some company. The strange thing with it though, and this really caught my attention, was that it had a 06-D-XXX plate on it. I have no pics as I was cycling at the time I saw it.

I must have been imported from Brazil, as they still make them over there.

Wishbone Ash · 23-02-2007 9:48pm

AEC (Mammoth Minor?) tractor unit with unusual axle configuration spotted on tow in Rush.

Wishbone Ash · 25-02-2007 12:15am

Dublin registered Morris Minor spotted in Skerries this morning.

3ps · 26-02-2007 12:40pm

The Minor is always there. I've never seen it move. But it doesn't look like it is decaying so it must be moved every now and again.

BMWE21 · 26-02-2007 1:58pm

I've seen it being driven by a young girl every now and again, but it's almost always parked in that spot.

Wishbone Ash · 01-03-2007 12:13am

Beautiful Rolls spotted in Dublin 2.

Do-more · 03-03-2007 10:12am

Saw this Avenger Tiger in Biffo-land yesterday, bit sorry lookin'

tc20 · 09-03-2007 5:33pm

Could be one of his Ben, but wasnt him driving. Also spotted in bray, in a driveway of a house opposite Bray Tennis Club, is a silver W114 coupe. each time i go by, a bit more of the bodywork has disappeared :eek:
(well not so much disappeared as cut away, good project)

Such harsh criticism from someone so up their own arse are to come out with this stream of verbal diarrhea regarding the less-than-iconic Pete Doherty.

tamburlaine wrote:

Always a sell out, Babyshambles. The thing you miss about Doherty is his ability to craft a tune, delving into a romantic genre of London in the 60s and 70s and conveying this sentiment quite akin to the Kinks. His abrasive approach stems from influences from the Clash and the Stooges. These influences coupled with his lyrical, poetic ability makes for great listening. It's his Byronic ideal that gets on most people's nerves..the idealised but flawed character thing..mistaking opiates as a something the romantics dealt in..silly. He takes this way too far in my opinion, to his own detriment. But that's something I don't dwell on. Musically he's not put a foot wrong. Their gigs are incendiary and his magneticness on stage is quite amazing. I'm glad their appeal hasn't extended to the lumpen mass solely due to the unthinking, uninformed morons who chose to buy a tabloid, scan over it, and form idiotic opinions on what is clearly a talented musician. I feel his musicianship must be qualified, not the circus that is his personal life.

Ah.. Magneticness. That elusive form of magnetism. Obviously magneticness is not available to us "unthinking, uninformed morons" who are bound by the strictures of a common language.

I took a look at timburlaine's other posts ( http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=tamburlaine+site%3Aboards.ie&meta= ) - looks like his/her boards.ie account might have been hijacked by some pre-adolescent gobsheen, probably a model for the KrustyBurger employee with the breaky voice "hello MISTER simpson, CAN I take your ORDER"

corktina · 10-03-2007 2:38am

you are most unfair.:) ...dontcher realise that Music is Art and therefore worthy of study by Academics whereas obviously only people of lower intelligence like us would be interested in the colour of a steering wheel and I doubt if this guy would have any use for anthing ribbed, whether for her pleasure or not.

What does the sign say "Only in Ireland"?

Does the owner mean "Only one in Ireland"?

Wishbone... haven't seen that one around yet.
Might be a day visitor.

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
