Punchestown today

Cavan town today. 90 or 91. Not au fait with the Nordie numbers...
But that flat paint would come up great with a T Cut & a polish. Its very straight.

Thats pretty good compared to some peoples efforts

This was on the Coast road in Clontarf this evening. Had a very pleasant "distressed" look to it, driven by a young couple too.

...Dun Laoghaire again, and a few from Bray/Greystones (do campers count?)

There can't be many 124 rag tops in the country. Great spot!

granted I'm a bit of a Merc fan, but I have to agree, I just love the lines of those big coupes, and they're just as gorgeous inside. I've seen that one on the road more than once, so it does get out and about. It looks to be lowered a bit, and the wheels are definitely not period pieces.

@ Neckarsulm - I've seen a few 124 cabrios, so I wouldn't say they are that rare, and the majority I've seen tend to be in that colour combo

Fermanagh plates (off the top of my head)

Nekarsulm

Nope, Fermanagh are IL plates. BIL, NIL, JIL, PIL etc, like Cavan was ID and Sligo was IE, before the 90 D's and so forth.

IG is Fermanagh

I remember BIG 1 was bought for some silly amount and put on some American truck thing. Made the news that day

Same person bought BIG2 and BIG3

Nice 5 Series Auto in Borris, Co. Carlow today :cool:



Spotted a 94 Starlet in the same spot a hour later.

Dublin today;

Howth this evening. The Starlet as posted in the classic forum, is not declared a classic to the tax office..its just someone's daily driver. I was delighted seeing it, nearly wanted to wait around for the owner to appear :pac:

Surreptitious

That looks waxed and polished. Pretty nice job for a 96.

IG is Fermanagh they used up IL. It still puzzles me why NI never reversed the three letter sequence, they reversed the two letter sequences, strange

<W111 coupe>

That '111 coupe is used everyday. Lots of subtle upgrades have been added..heated seats, air con, parking sensors, electronic ignition, hidden stereo/phone etc.

So after 18 reliable months I've sold my Tipo. Doesn't feel that long at all. Heres one last pic

Fair play in fairness you made it look nice again and got year and half driving out of it and someone else hopefully look after it too. What are you moving onto?

Yeah..all in the ownership experience really has been great. This is how I bought it;



This was six months in (don't ask..:o)



And an "after" shot for the sake of conformity



I've known this car [to see] for what feels like a lifetime, and now its headed for the midlands..so it'll probably be a long while yet, if at all, when I see it again. It couldn't have gone to a better home though..the new owner has a few Tipos and a Tempra to keep it company

Sadly I'll be replacing it with nothing for the Summer. Doing some work abroad over the next few months so another car will most likely just end up unused like the Tipo has been. But watch this space..I'll be back behind the wheel of something cool..someday

Was bidding on a nice Volvo 480 on eBay, and the fecker removed it before the auction ended.
