    Yup, that is what mine looks like, story goes that the first ones to go to the states were flown over for a press do of some sort. When the cars were taken off the plane the front glass exploded and was then banned!

    I saw a Citroen Visa in Terenure yesterday. It was cream in colour and badly rusted. No picture though (lack of camera and/or camera phone).

    What is it? A Bristol? Roller?

    Mike.

    It's a car getting lashed out of it in the Dublin rain!

    Fair play, Q: how do you keep the rust at bay, owner?

    Yehhh the '32 Ford Truck has been used for years by relatives of mine as advertising for their buitchers business !

    Was the black 280SE Coupe a LHD example ?

    Those SM's are gorgeous, and the Chaprons are fab, though I still prefer the DS Chapron !!

    When I spotted that truck outside the ashfield(ashleaf??) shopping centre I always thought there was no engine in it for some reason, probably because I could see though the slots in the engine bay. Always a wonder why knackers didn't do anything bad to it. When I knew that that was safe it made me feel more comfortable about the mustang.

    Just saw a LHD, "yellow-grey" Citroën DS (19?) going up and down the Coast Road between Portmarnock and Malahide. Lovely... The bloke was taking his son for a spin, and the boy looked quite chuffed :) another recruit for the brotherhood :)

    that's what happens when you leave Gallic motor engineers alone with a chainsaw and unlimited supplies of Beaujolais... :)

    GX, SM, CX, Visa, all had chopped rear ends...

    Saw a early 70's Buick Riveria ('boat-tail' model) last night near the Meath hospital. I didn't realise how big they were until I was right up beside it.

    I think it was red, it was night so it was hard to tell. A car like that deserves to be in a garage (or two! :D )

    Also, just looking at the Reliant Robin above, I saw a blue one the other day (can't actually remember where exactly), but it looked like the one that Mr. Bean hated!

    MAx, you are getting confused......

    the Trotter one in the picture is a Robin but SHOULD be a Regal and Mr Beans enemy wasnt a Robin but WAS a Regal.....

    also why do people (not you) say Robin Reliant when it is Reliant Robin??

    Nevr thought Id see the day I posted about these plastic yokes with a wheel missing.....

    There is one of those robins/reliants/regals (will that do corky;) )off infirmary road in general lee colours, beside it sits what I think is a white lincon, not sure of the model and across the road from that is a monster of a yank that I haven't investigated yet. The lincon has a for sale sticker in the window. I've been meaning to snap it for ages but defo will now that it has a few chums.
