I've been in Streedagh since Thursday. Up and down to Mullaghmore and Bundoran a few times over the weekend and I've seen nothing bar a yellow Capri while i was driving around the N15 roundabout so couldn't get a pic. You're trolling me at this stage. :P

Did you get caught up any of that accident traffic/diversions? Took me an hour to grt into town today.

BonnieSituation

No. Thankfully not, though the midday and MIL did.

I was thinking it's some sort of Peugeot saloon but the light cluster doesn't match with the 505 as my first guess.

Possibly an FSO Polonez?

Definitely not a Polonez

Nice Merc in Drumcondra today, photobombed by Paddy Pio!

antodeco

Also an Abarth 500 parked behind it!

Very tidy Lancia Y10 Turbo spotted in Duleek this morning.

The Padre Pio sticker gives it some period charm

A turbo in a Y10 and you will need all the divine intervention you can get. Rosary beads on rear view mirror and scapula around gearstick at a minimum.

Seriously though, that is a lovely little thing. Same mechanicals as the Uno turbo?

I’m fairly sure Deane motors sold that Y10

I think it's a 1.0 FIRE engine in the turbo. I can imagine how long the head gaskets last in them with a turbo. The standard engine wasn't great for them.

Was behind this big 'un on Monday for a few miles near Nenagh. Every time the driver gave her the gas, she gave a nice black cloud out from both sides. Couldn't get close enough to get a good listen to the sound, but I'd imagine it'd be lovely. Was in great nick too, and didn't hang about.

Yes, it appears on their 'Sold' section.

its a 1050 not 1.0 FIRE - Have to say I have never heard of the Head Gasket being an issue on that engine - the later Punto 1.2 yes. The FIRE was a revelation in its day.

I would flipping love that Y10 ! I just seem to go a little bonkers for anything with a Lancia badge.

So I changed the wheels on my Jag - mainly because I wouldnt pay 350 a corner for the metric tyres ...

But I dont know if I like the new 16's as much !

whats the opinion here ?

unkel

I have no idea what wheels are original on the Jag or what options you have or what is supposed to be desirable. Or in summary: I don't really know anything.

But I prefer the ones in the bottom picture.

both are from Jags - the top ones are from an X300 ( the next iteration of mine ) and the ones on the bottom are the originals - but when you think 4 new tyres for those were nearly the price I paid for the car........

No,2 were alright, but this was one of the others ! How it passed an MOT !

Riga today. I don't think I've ever seen a cleaner Saab.

SmartinMartin

Riga again. Don't know what this is, I suspect a Zil or Volga.

unkel

I've never been to Latvia, would like to go. What's it like?
