MMMMMMMMMM.............dodge charger.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If only i had an spere like 20 grand............. A*se!

Anyway, i know this will be a bit annoying but can one of you guys tell me how to put in a pic? Never bothered before and not much good at computers so never bothered find out how to do it (shur jayzus until the other day i couldnt even use the digital camera). I decided i shoul put some pics up because i know a good few classics lying around the place. Including a really rotten MKI escort and drab green Cortina MKIII estate ( just like the one on www.scrapingscrap.com ) which are both in fields. My uncle also has a beautiful old saab (i think he's still got it) whic i think you all deserve to see at some stage if he still has it. got some pics from america too that i could scan in if any of you guys want to see them. Mostly old trucks but there's a real nice charger in there somewhere.:)

Sorry about the quality, it was from the phone, saw 2 of these in Cabra along side a 28.Ghia Granada. I was traveling at the time so just got one shot off. Bit confused about this one, I thought it was a Dolomite but I caught a glimpse of the badge on the back and saw the numbers 2000 and I don't think it said Triumph, any offers.

Blue850 · 03-02-2006 9:46am

Triumph 1500, Dolomites predecessor, Started out as FWD 1300 then 1500 FWD, then Triumph changed back to RWD, must be the only car co. ever to have done that?

Hi guys
another newbie here from de south west.
No cool oldies in my neighbourhood but it means I dont have much competition for my stressbuster when I take it out for a burn.
Pic attached i think ??
If anyone knows where I can pick up original Vdub wheels Id appreciate it

dubtom · 06-02-2006 3:16am

Very nice Mike, dont see many around these days.

Eric318 · 06-02-2006 10:15pm

Every evening I see a red Opel GT behind the window of the shop at the corner of Malahide Raod and Swords road. May be it is for sale... It used to have the company of a Stag, now there is something older in the background that I am not familiar with.

ocj · 06-02-2006 10:38pm

Nice wheels mikehn.

It's good to see there's a few of us around.
I'm on my second rocco now.
Still got a bit of work to do to her.:)

..............yeah I pass every morning too !

Aparantly McAllisters who previously owned this spot did a deal with Gerry Larkin (Nissan dealer in Swords) whereby they used his premises in Swords until their new one at Airside was built. Now he has their place in Malahide. Not sure if he bought it or is renting !

Anyway Gerry has a huge Classic collection and some race cars too. They seem to appear and dissapear from that place every few weeks !

I've been meaning to take pics for months but seem to end up driving it instead!

I see this one everyday, lucky me

eoineen · 23-02-2006 10:39pm

Looking at and speaking of older Mercs, there's a lovely wine coloured early 1980s 220 near Walkinstown r.about in Dublin. Could not a picture but it's got classy, hearse-like black plates.

mustang68 · 03-03-2006 5:40pm

2/3 spotted a white citroen ds with a reg like HAR 222G or something on the kylemore road beside homebase, great looking, owner looked chuffed with himself (sorry no pics)

franksm · 03-03-2006 7:58pm

Spotted this Delorean in Finaghy, just a mile from where the car was originally built back in the day (Dunmurry). That was last weekend (26-Feb-2006).

mustang68 · 06-03-2006 9:23am

Spotted an early eighties black ford Cortina (I think) in Clonnee, just washed, think it was on UK plates, in great condition

My brother inlaw bought a villa in spain a couple of years back from a retired English couple, a merc came with the deal, just like the one in your pic. Drove perfectly, even though he had left it sitting for over a year. The very high cost of changing ownership/back tax/ getting it road worthy for a couple of months per year meant he eventually left it at the side of the road. Shame, it was a lovely car.

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
