dubtom: It was at the back of mount pleasant somewhere, I'm not sure exactly. My friend knows the area, I was walking with him. I'll ask him again when I see him, and try to post back.

Thanks Garrath. Saw a beautifull 68 Mustang fastback sitting in someones front garden in Palmerstown, immacualte condition, from the back anyway and still on yank plates.

In Enniscorthy, the guy who ownes it seems to buy and sell a number of oldies.

beanderb4 · 04-05-2006 12:52am

Guys,

Do any of you own classics. If you do then read on. This Sunday 7th May I am organising a gettogether. The idea is to get together at the Spawell Car park on the Tallaght Bypass at 11.45 in the morning. We will then go for a spin out to Blessington at noon and stop off for a beverage in Ballymore Eustace, returning to the Spawell for approx 14:00. There are already a number of people interested in coming along and I plan to make this a regular excursion every second Sunday from different starting points. The next run will be on 28th May starting from the Playwright on Newtownpark Avenue Blackrock at noon.

The idea is to get people out driving their classics. Nothing fancy, just an opportunity to meet like minded people and get out and drive the cars.

I'll post more details of later runs if you guys are interested. As I said above, this is for everyone who appreciates or drives classic cars. Just come along for the craic and take some time out to enjoy your classic and chat to others of a similar breed!!

Hope to see you there,

Paul.

email me at phelanpa@eircom.net if you need further details.

bit vague but I spotted a wine coloured 74 something in Chapelisod this morning (thursday) all the way down the hill until it turned right at the bridge, was about 10 cars behind it.

Wine coloured
74 d XXX black plate at rear
looked europian
looked ford (maybe) cortina
wide wheels
chrome bumper (not straight, curved up to meet the lights at the ends)

Sorry for being so vague, any guesses, someone here?

mike65 · 04-05-2006 6:47pm

at the Taxaco garage in the Listowel rd, Abbeyfeale.

and this in an ancient showroom between Listowel and Ballyduff.

Mike.

Its a Ford Popular - very 'popular' with the customising fraternity - lots of ones with big V8s and flame paintwork...

Sometimes referred to the 'sit up and beg' in car ads.

Had an immaculate light blue BMW 2002 on ZV plates behind me on the Navan road heading into Blanch yesterday.

There's also a navy BMW 2002 around Navan regularly.

Passed 2 today (going in opposite direction) while l was driving through Trim in the Datsun. A 1970 green MGB roadster with the top down and a white Mustang with 2 blue stripes.

ds20prefecture · 07-05-2006 4:32pm

Saw an immaculate black Volvo P1800 yesterday evening in Cabinteely. Too dark for my camera phone, unfortunately.

Max_Damage · 07-05-2006 5:45pm

Saw a lovely red Ferrari Testarosa (I think!) yesterday in Oldcastle, Co. Meath yesterday evening. Had no camera though:mad:

Outside Clonmel

franksm · 13-05-2006 12:04am

They're all coming out of the woodwork. I love this time of year. Here are a few classics from out and about during April and early May. Some new stuff too (the red Merc is my new runabout

)

custom900 · 13-05-2006 12:12am

Yup, it's great to see. The sun seems to have brought them all out..................
(1) On the M50 today, looked like a wedding.
(2) Chapelizod Toyota for this stunner
(3) Drumcondra this evening

BTW, how do you post the actual photo instead of the link?

mike65 · 13-05-2006 12:19am

Use a pic hosting site like photobucket.com or imageshack then lilink from there.

Mike.

custom900 · 13-05-2006 11:46am

Mike, do I just click MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and then paste the link into UPLOAD FILE FRON AN URL, and then click UPLOAD ?
Or am I just being completely thick?

custom900 · 13-05-2006 12:48pm

TEST

Obviously not.

franksm · 13-05-2006 1:22pm

You have an [ IMG] at the front of each URL - you also need a [ /IMG] at the end

So: [ IMG]http://whatever/lookit.jpg[ /IMG]

(take out the spaces there if you are cutting and pasting that

RobAMerc · 13-05-2006 2:06pm

I see this every night while out for a walk.
He also had a Porsche 356 but I dont see it about anymore.

There is also an aston martin vantage nearby but i dont like taking photos incase it goes missing and the fingers start pointing !

This is a real beauty, makes mine look dull

custom900 · 14-05-2006 3:48am

Thanks for the help Frank.

franksm · 14-05-2006 3:42pm

Nice ! Have I seen that around ? Sandyford or Dundrum or somewhere like that ?

MercMad · 15-05-2006 10:04am

Wow love the W111 Convertible !!

Nice car Custom900 !

custom900 · 15-05-2006 12:57pm

Hi Frank, the car is normally around Phibsbor/Drumcondra area. Thanks MM, she's going in for a complete refurb in two weeks time, so the streets of Dublin will see a lot of her over the summer!
Meanwhile, here's two more old girls in daily use around the Glasnevin area:

dubtom · 15-05-2006 1:31pm

Saw that grey Ford GT on sunday shown in the pic above, I know not old but could be called a classic already. Followed it from the air port into town and it was driven by a girl:eek:
yes, a girl, didn't look older than 25.No reg plates on the car and she seemed to be loving the attention. Stunning car.

MercMad · 15-05-2006 2:23pm

Do you mind me asking who is doing the work on the Benz ?

custom900 · 15-05-2006 8:49pm

I think that's for me, MM?
I found a russian guy who specialises in mercedes, and his father is a bit of a genius with 108/111's and the like. Saw a couple of jobs he did and was impressed, so I'm trusting him with my baby. He's currently doing a job on the air suspension on my friend's coupe, shown here:

If I'm satisfied with the work he does I'll post on his details here if you'd like.

custom900 · 15-05-2006 8:50pm

DOH!!! No need, I see his details are in one of the photos!:)

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
