Well lads, I have a question me and my friends brought a 94 fiesta and done her up on blue and gold for the All Ireland, got insured and tax for the week but no NCT but she runs perfect(family friend who sold it to us and was very concious of safety)

My question is besided the NCT and the flag in the back window(easily removed) is there anything Ilegal. My big worry is that some idiot got hold of it during the week and drilled a few holes in the middle box and she sounds like a cross between a lawnmower and a ferrari! I don't want to take it for a spin if all thats highly illegal! We applied for the nct so im not overly worried bout that as shes only a month out.

we had a old transit painted orange and white for the armagh games in croker (been a while:() it had flashing orange beacons and the armagh crest stuck on the sides! it was definitely not road legal but we never had any hassle from AGS. it broke down on the m50 last year and thats the last we saw of her

Nice job

I'd say your only potential problem would be the colour on the logbook not matching the colour on the car, you could send the form down to Shannon requesting they change the colour listed but to be honest once you have road tax, insurance and if you were to get a date for the NCT the Gardai should let you go.

I saw a Dumper painted White on a back of a trailor in 1998. A while later I'm outside Quinns having a pint when I hear then see the same Dumper coming up the road with a big sign: HERE TO TAKE HOME SAM.
They went back to Kildare empty.

:D:D
If you behave you should be grand in your car..

There is no legal requirement to be able to see out a rear window. No need to remove the flag.

Good luck on the day!

Couple a Kerry lads down here too have a Green & Gold Mini that sees Dublin regularly on All-Ireland day.

Be sure and drive her up O'Connell street and get a musical horn like the dukes of hazzard, one other thing if ye wins be sure to invade the pitch. The car looks like a Corsa or Nova are you sure?
