Another bloody stickie! If you spot a classic and take a shot please put it here rather than start a fresh thread. I'll start, I spotted this Lotus Elan parked in Catherine Street here in Waterford. Had'nt seen it before. Today I also saw 2 Silver Clouds, and 2 Jenson Interceptors but they were moving and so was I :D Mike.

I'm lost - so was I.

That Land Rover is clearly a 1971 to 1985 model. I suspect it is not old enough for UK "Historic" class so was ringed as a 1967 vehicle to qualify.

...all to save 200 quid a year (4 pounds a week) on vehicle that does 15mpg! (And probably costs at least as much to get through the MOT.)

Really nice car though.

Looks like the handbrake is knackered, the wheels are turned into the wall to stop it rolling down the hill.

from yesterday...

Beautiful MG B GT in top condition (Belgooly, Cork)

few miles after Kinsale, Cork

... then few more, but I was driving so no pictures - in Kinsale I saw a very old car. It was probably even from 18th century judging by the front lights. Then I saw green MG B GT with those ugly rubber bumpers in Riverstick (few minutes after taking photo of that wine red MG in Belgooly) and finally few VW buses (one of them had fresh blue paint obviously with fresh chrome)...

Hi. Not normally a poster in the motors forum - but I visited Cuba recently, and got some classic pics! These cars are in daily use in Cuba.

I need to research the makes of these cars. If anyone can help that would be appreciated!

Remind me of where you are located again Do-more? Norway or Sweden?

I'm strongly thinking of going to Vasteras next year.
