Pictures from the Terenure Show

06-07-2008 5:18pm#1Weather turned out to be very good. It wasn't a mud bath like Moynalty last year anyway. The full set of picture I took (about 150 of them) can be got here:

Here's a few of what I got:
This really was the main attraction of the show, the BTTF DeLorean DMC-12
Complete with flux capacitor...
...and time circuits!
There can't be too many of these left in the country!

That black w116 looks like the Jap 280 import (9 grand and change I think)
Indeed. It's overpriced and the engine should be more than 4 litres bigger than that paltry 2.8, but it's still a very cool car for a poseur

No, it's a replica. It only one of two in Europe apparently (going by the info sheet in the window of the car).
The actual BTTF DeLorean is in the Universal Studios theme park in Los Angeles, California.0 -

Nonsense. It's a perfectly adaquate engine for getting around Ireland. Why would anybody need a 6.8 engine a saloon car? Sometimes you can spot poseurs just from their posts you know.0 -

good job alias. you missed mine! (not strictly a classic! grey one)
I passed the FTO's and remembered how 10 years ago when I was finishing up in college, I really wanted one. Don't know why I didn't stop and take a pic, I guess they just don't interest me any more. It's funny how these things change.0 -

Depends on how you want to get around Ireland. I have very fond memories of going over the Conor pass in the early 90s in my rented 1.0l Micra. It had a perfectly adequate engine to do the job. That said, adequate is not my favourite word. Especially not on this forum. Let's have some more passion!!! For a real engine - listen to my sig

Well one thing I will say about the whole day..........it was a welcome break from the 'Real World'.........and all the horse**** about the R word, etc........
Indeed, I sat on the hill at the back of the pitch with the kids having a small picnic, behind all the yank cars, and invariably, they were all started at one point or another to satisfy the oglers..........
.......and a few things came to mind.....
- it's going to take a lot more than an oil price increase to kill the interest in classic cars.
- down in the corner past the yanks, where all the RX-7's were, you could, literally, smell fuel in the air. Cool:D
- there was a red V12 E-type coupe on the Jag stand, which, again, was started for the benefit of bystanders - it ran for a minute, or less, at which time one wag stated: '..there goes another fiver! ' No, CO2 not on the agenda in Terenure, thank god, just good 'ol human endeavour and creativity.
Me? I'd prescribe a car show a week to lift the country out of the doldrums !Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

......nicely put, and I agree completely ! We revved up a few 560's/450's too just for the greens !!
BTW......to be pedantic..........the Yakuza always used left hand drive cars, despite Japan being RHD, to separate themselves from distinguished establishment and cheauffeur cars.0 -
