mike65 · 17-07-2006 6:36pm

Behold!

That's the one I saw last Thursday in Killeagh.

mike65 · 17-07-2006 11:14pm

I drive through every Monday morning. I was going to do a full reccy but my camera battery died after the above shot!

It belongs to Johnny Greene who deals in classic cars, beautiful car pity about the glass sunroof though. If it was mine I'd fit a Webasto canvas roof in it instead. I can't believe someone thought it would be a good idea to fit a glass sunroof in a car like that...and no it wasn't fitted by the present owner.

He has two.

RoundyMooney · 19-07-2006 9:56pm

Well, if it's good enough for Renault...

...actually, never mind.

I came across the Fire engine in a field in Ringaskiddy and the Beetle in a car park in Cobh.

mike65 · 09-08-2006 5:01pm

A fairly decent Mk 1 Cortina which is for sale just north of Callan Co Kilkenny for 2500.

Saw a DS for sale today in Donnybrook,malborough road to be exact. Took a pic but my new phone doesn't have a removable card. It was a blue one, looked in good nick outside but I noticed a rip in a front seat.I'll try and send it via email to myself and see if it's viewable.

corelon · 12-08-2006 11:48am

American in town! Not a great pic, i was hammered but some growl off the engine everyone jumped up to see what it was... Outside Dakota on wicklow street very late last night!!!

I'm fairly sure that's the Ford Edsel that was at terenure.

Gatster · 14-08-2006 9:39am

Citroen(s) all parked down the road adjacent to my house (and another two round the corner). All identical, no idea what they were doing there but they were gone at 0630 this morning...

dubtom · 14-08-2006 9:48am

I think that was a gum/gunball rally or something, saw a few last week too.

mustang68 · 14-08-2006 10:32am

I spotted that edsel going towards Dublin on the n11 on sat about 1230, somewhere around arklow (I think!)

dubtom · 15-08-2006 12:04am

Saw a nice Mustang tonight on the Belgard road. I was enjoying the gurgle when a mouldy 3 series BMW pulled up with an exaust that would have fit a truck and spoiled the moment.No pic I'm afraid,message to self, must buy small digi.

ToyotaDyna · 15-08-2006 11:19pm

I saw that Ford Edsel a couple of times and on the M50 last week it is very nice

overdriver · 22-08-2006 5:53pm

That's lovely.

Yvette · 23-08-2006 8:08pm

Hello, URGENT request....looking for a citroen DS to hire for wedding. Can anybody help????

I saw a post talking about a DS. Pictures were of it outside Malahide church in Dublin. Can you contact me please.

mike65 · 23-08-2006 9:10pm

Revelation Joe · 25-08-2006 9:01pm

Saw a MkIV Zephyr/Zodiac just outside Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo. Metallic green with a black vinyl roof, lovely condition. But by the time I'd realised, it was too late to get the phone out to snap it...

mike65 · 25-08-2006 10:14pm

And hes looking for 5k euros for it...a bit steep for it I thought considering its far from mint.

corktina · 26-08-2006 3:37am

yeah i thinkthe bottom has dropped out of the market now....silly prices should become a thing of the past. Lets face it, pretty much evryone who wants an old car has one by now.......

mike65 · 30-08-2006 1:43pm

Ford Prefect, in fine condition.

1275gt · 31-08-2006 3:59pm

Just pulled up outside my office today

:cool:

Kintarō Hattori · 01-09-2006 12:11am

Myself and the missus were out walking earlier in the week and after a long walk, spotted this near Grand Canal Dock. She took the pics.
It's nice, but looks a little tacky up close. It's definetly not as nice as the other corvette I saw on Capel Street.
If anyone wants it, I have higher resolution images.

Also saw this, possibly a future classic, AMG SL65 V12 Twin Turbo effort:

mike65 · 01-09-2006 3:34pm

I saw a banana yellow R12 on the Waterford - Tramore road. No chance to get a shot.
