All Audis are same, just the lights are different. Audi is most likely the most boring car producer on this planet. Just because there isn't many of them doesn't mean they are classics.

Future classic. That doesn't really look like many other Audis, and is made with a unibody aluminium - just like an R8 (which also isn't boring!).

The A2's getting rare and it's an interesting enough car.
Long term I'd expect it to be considered a classic of sorts.

Saw a Rekord BZS 246 (?) in town, bit 'cowboy'd up' with lots of chrome add-on's and might even had had a whip aerial

No pic but I spotted a wine Fiat 131/Mirafiori in Portlaoise. It was parked outside a house near the church.

No idea how clean it was as I was going too fast to stop, but it was most definately not abandoned.

Spotted this in Longford this morning, and followed him to get a picture. Originally a horrible shade of brown, the owner told me.

I'd much prefer it in a horrible shade of brown tbh.

Thats a horrible shade of orange imo :P

missed a chance to snap a vw golf mk 1 fully restored and the newest model think it was supercharged and turbocharged 1.4:eek:

The first two were in Kenmare a few days ago. I'm not sure if the third qualifies as classic, but it's in good nick and is the more desirable 1.8SLX. It was just off Eccles St in Dublin last week.

Riley is for sale now.

An automatic too, if it wasn't in Kerry I'd buy it.

Funny, ad doesn't mention the heavy tinworm on the sills. I'll be there again next week if you want me to have a look for you?
In fact I could even drive it back to dublin the week after.

I'd love it. Really, really love it. I'm going travelling in Spain/Portugal next week though so I'm not really in a position to buy anything for a while.

I have my heart set of a Rover P6 and/or an MGB for this summer when I get back too.

Well if you change your mind just post on here or pm me, I'll be there anyway.

Colour is ok,might have been a UK colour, but the black roof/rear panel/grille is not up to spec.

Saw this 'big' CX and 'mid-range' Carina - they look very small beside today's stuff

Just saw this little 85 Suzuki, it will be lucky if its rescued in time, as there is no sentiment in scrap yards! Looks in better structural condition than some I've seen. In felix gormley yard here in cavan.

If you are interested, let me know and I will give him a call. If its in for destruction, it cant go on the road again, but the body could!

Saw a Porsche 924 today - on the news!

Specifically on RTE News Now. Saw it out of the corner of my eye just driving in and out of a stock shot of the Dail. Thought it might have been mine but had a look at the online version and the reg seems to be 87 D 38XXXX or close. Took this pic a half hour later as it looped around. The report comes directly after a piece on the new Liffey Bridge.

Bigus

You'd buy some nice classic cars with 116 m euro annual profit !

I would like to know if he is selling it, these make great little off roaders and are very easy to tow

Rang them just now, unfortunately she is stripped and ready for the crusher . After draining all fluids they usually rip the engine and box out with the Senneboggan loader and throw to one side for smelting.(if they are alloy).
