    The pic from cbg is like a kit car.
    You could have seen a caterham or panthera or some such:)

    Think I passed a guy on Saturday, On N4,Green yoke with a yellow snout?
    Looked very much like a Caterham.

    Could be anything really. Lots of kit cars were based on the beetle chassis. I'm presuming it had a VW badge on it?

    Most likely a kit car. Have seen a few around Maynooth last year, which isn't too far from Lucan.

    Maybe that's it :)

    Or maybe the name is a bit feminine (like almost all names ending with an "A") and that's causing the confusion. On the continent the car was called a Ford Taunus. Now that's a proper masculine name for ya ;):D

    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”
