I'd say the spelling makes a huge difference. It's annoying when people don't give a darn. Life would be so much easier, if they did.

This Triumph in Crosshaven, Cork.



also Morris Minor on the way to Carrigaline, then really bright red VW bus most likely freshly painted (UK plates) on South link. Again on South Link a lovely 1969 (Dublin reg) Chevy Camaro SS for a minute or two. Really nice car, beautiful rumble of the V8...

We do. If you can't be civil, we don't want you here. You're banned for a week.

For what it's worth, yes it's a DB6.

I always enjoy dipping into this thread to see some of the beautiful cars that you manage to get pictures of.
I did a quick skim through the pages and did not see this, sorry if its already been posted, and also the picture taking was a bit rushed, but the sound of this going down the road was awesome.

Hey Unkel.
Why does it say that your account has been closed?
That would be a shame indeed.

On the other subject. I'm sure being banned is probably a good idea. The user only had three posts so probably was not that serious in making an intelligent contribution anyway.

Oh, I have that plate. In fact, I'm lucky enough to have them all. God Bless downstairs bogs. :-)

Check the spaces in "C l o s e d" Then make a guestimate.

I would be checking the small print in my policy, very carefully indeed:D

I'd say the sound is something else alright.

However (and I'm expecting flak for this) imo it shouldn't be road-legal. Imagine the damage that set-up would do to a pedestrian. It doesn't bear thinking about.

I feel the same way about bull-bars.

You are quite correct, Esel, a small child could get sucked into that blower!

Or a butterfly :P

Why not ban knives from kitchens and flush toilets too :mad:

The only fault I see with the Chevy is having it out in the open near stupid people who don't appreciate it :rolleyes:

But was being banned a good idea? Surely a warning would have been enough, chap was a newbie , in one of his posts he makes a spelling mistake and gets an in your face smartass reply , have to say in his place I wouldn't have been overly impressed either.....

OK, no pic but I was in Carrick-on-Shannon today and two car transporters passed me heading towards Sligo. I din't get a look at the first one, but the second one had:

Porsche 356 Convertible
190 SL
BMW 501
TR6 (I think)

And two more cars under wraps. All had German reg plates as did the truck. I was 5 minutes from the car, raging as I'd have loved to have followed them and seen a bit more.

Funny. My point stands though.

If you are slyly implying (sarcastic smiley and all) that I am stupid, that says more about you than me.

Anyway, as I said, I expected flak. I just expected it to be on an adult level.
