What's the oldest car you saw on the road today?

Spotted these in/near Skerries today. The Transit was mint. I can't remember when I last saw one either

Oh holy fuk that Beemer wow.

Edit: it has the stripes spot on like the alpine anyway duke and the front splitter but I think there should be a badge on the grill.

You're right Jayo, I think a genuine Alpina would be registered as an "Alpina B12" and not a BMW 750. Still a cracking car though

In Kilkenny on Monday

7er is destroyed by those bling headlights.

I see an MR2 in front of that 3er Cab too.

Why all the bother with the stripes is beyond me I'd only put up with them for a genuine alpina ha.

It had the v12 badge on the rear pillar anyway.
Parked in a disabled spot, with the drivers disabled ticket displayed on dash.
Zooming in, the grills seem held on with cable ties.
I'm parked up on a campsite at Millisle, co. Down, and there's some kind of Aston Martin roadsters under a tarp. beside me.

Obviously not one of Newport Pagnalls finest.

The best Hiace of the lot I love them, a bit sore on diesel compared to modern yokes but they'd go forever and a day.

A dark blue one does the rounds in Navan, 94 MH... Must try get a snap of it someday.

Saw a black mk3 Capri in blanch yesterday, old CZM/Galway reg, with what looked like Stevo using halfords stick on badges on the boot... Anyone else ever spot it knocking about?

Class, love a y60/gq - especially in swb! Was it a 4.2?? or can a man just dream...

Duke O Smiley · 30-05-2017 1:13pm

Not too sure C - I took the pic and headed inside. I probably should have had a longer look around but didn't want to seem too sketchy :pac:

It had a three digit Roscommon reg so probably Irish from new anyway

edit, remembered the reg but nowhere seems to have the engine capacity listed
