Was in Galway with the MX5 club at the weekend. What a cracker of a weekend ! Some some goodies along the way:

1. this is one of the earliest MX5s in Ireland, has been through some good times and some bad times, and is now in great condition once again

2. absolutley stunning '73 Stag touring the back roads near the Burren

3. nice '78 MGB

4. MG of some sort (sorry, have no idea !). Modern wheels though

Looks like an MG TD. (cira 1950?). The original wheels looked like that.

A 95-WH Aston Martin Vantage V8 just pulling out of Caseys in Athlone.

I know that one - it's a 72 D car. My old FIAT was only a few numbers ahead of it and I had a brief chat with the driver once at the lights. Lovely jammer.

1970 Opel GT, white with black racing stripes, in Galway near GMIT. :cool:
Not quick enough with the camera though

I saw a white/blue '87 Dodge Diplomat covered in NYPD livery last night near Kevin Street. Had the roof light bar and all. Looked brilliant.

Saw this 66 Ford Mustang a few days back.

Lovely thing!

351GT

Seen and stopped and looked and took pics of this beauty mustang in waterford over the weekend

Spotted in tesco greystones yesterday evening - a green Lotus Elan, MNI 7xx,
i've never seen one up so close, beautiful lines..

And here's one for MB aficionados to figure out - southbound on the N11 this morning, from Loughlinstown to Bray, a dark blue LHD '71 D (not sure if the model is W108/109 or 111) but it was badged "280SD 3.0" I knew the S class was sold as a diesel in other markets (US, maybe South Africa) but the first ones i thought were the W116s. Any one throw light on this for me?

3ps

the 280SD 3.0 is Andreas_220D's new car.

Blue850

That 280 SD (originally a SE )was for sale in Durrow, the empty bottles of veggie oil behind it drew a lot of attention:) Its got a 3.0 5 cylinder diesel from a W123. The 220D is for sale on Carzone

tc20

I have to say the 280SD was smoking a bit more than it should, tho' it was cruising faultlessly at c130kph.. The "280SD" badging looked perfect, as in not a put together jobbie, with the chrome underline bar sitting perfect. I was just curious as to what were the first S class diesels, be they european (i think the W140) or other markets

It's a W108. The engine is replaced with a 3 Liter Diesel engine from a W123.
