    Hi,

    Can you help? I've seen this odd looking car around south dub and parked in Carrickmines shopping park. It's a "Will Vi" - not sure if thats a VI as in six in roman numerals, or vi. Anyone know anything about them? My boys are intrigued. I've googled, but to no avail.

    thanks boardsies

    Weird looking silver yoke with the back window stick out over the end of the car?

    Toyota if that's the case.




    I think...

    Seen the particular car you're talking about, in Carrickmines car park most Sundays.

    I think Bill Griffin had a few of them at some stage.

    Spotted a 2003one of these for the first time yesterday, I only wish Toyota had seen sense and sold them over here instead of the (then) 5 seat Corolla Verso.

    Looked great in the flesh. think it had 17" wheels.

    IIRC they are based on Yaris chassis... I also though they were about like a cross between a 105E Anglia and a Rover P4..??

    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”
