That's a very old photo, in fact I think it was even posted on here a few months ago.

Photo was sent to me, by a lad working in TC he thinks it recent

Yes they are nice! Diesel I think is here to stay

I'd disagree, Diesel's are getting banned due to emissions, hybrids maybe but petrol engines cheapest to maintain - petrol returning ??

The marked unit had DRL's on (illegal height off the road BTW - 21" I'm told for anything over 5w power :eek: ) , unmarked had no DRL's but blues in front seemed ok - although I'd be using main beams for MAXIMUM effect.

Seen 11D Maroon Avensis Estate (Rathmines) and 11D Grey D-Max Twin cab also today.

When you press 999 or 'Full' (on the old focus) on the pad in the car the full light arrangement comes on.

The lighting on the unmarked Hyundai's is sh1t. Blues in grill and dash only, no wing blues. Your only other option is flashing headlamps which I think should be used due to poor standard of blues.

The DRL's are the factory fit ones.

It's typical though, extremely basic

No doubt the Hyundai's could do with sidelights like the older fleet. They are unmarked and not undercover so sidelights would make sense.

Seen a cracking little unmarked 07 fiesta today, Blue and looks as if it just rolled out of the showroom.

The Black Oil · 04-07-2016 09:56PM

Have seen a 05 Primera up around the Dail a few times.

Shannon757 · 04-07-2016 10:53PM

That cruiser made a right mess of your man's hedge.

Bilko great find man, That Mondeo looks very subtle sitting there

The vectra is a great looking motor. I assume they were ex met cars?

Vectra is ex psni gifted to the gards, I haven't a clue where the mondeo came from, it can shift though...

There was a silver 'advanced' mondeo around clondalkin for a very long time, Must be the same one as in that pic.

Pocket rocket as they say

I think it's a similar engine to an ST 220 but I'm not 100percent on fords, vectras I know about.

The 3.0 Ghia X is a de-tuned version of the ST minus 20 bhp. Then you have the 2.5 which is only 170 but still adequate. I own a 2.5 myself and while a great drive (and sound) it's definitely suited to the motorway more so.

The Vectra is a 2.8 v6 turbo, miles ahead from the mondeo or most family saloons power wise.

I own 2005 opc, I can't imagine the tweeking they've had to do for it go around corners because opels are quick only in a straight line though

Is the back plate of that Maestro yellow?

No its not yellow, it's a white, road traffic act states black numeric and lettering with the max limit of two letters on a white plate for Southern Irish registered cars from 86 upward I think.
I know you didn't ask that but just saying just to clarify ha
