    Hey allthedoyles, where were these shots taken? - looks like a view worth a detour when in the area. :)

    Its certainly worth a detour . Its a place called the Nine Stones , and you can get there easily from either side of Bunclody Co Wexford or from Borris Co Carlow .

    Also simply known as Mount Leinster.
    Back in the day you could drive all the way up to the transmission mast before they put the gates up.
    I remember my dad had a mark 1 Cortina back in the early 70's and decided to drive all the way up to the top, grand until we turned around to come down with my mother and four kids on board and the old drum brakes gave in.
    We just about made it down safely, we kids thought it was great crack altogether.

    Anyone like Sierras?

    Fella made it look like a boat. There was no evidence that he'd tried to make it float though.

    I did the same as a 10-11 year old to Mount Kippure in a Saab 96 (which back then - mid 70s - was not so much a classic as just a weird and rare sight esp in Ireland), free-wheel mode on and several minutes of excitement.

    That sierra would look class with the whale tail. Even if it only ever was an xr4i.

    I passed that in my BEAT a few weeks ago on the N11. Was talking at the lights to the driver. Should have asked him to stop at the next petrol station for a chat. Love those X19's

    There's nothing like a nice slim bumperd X/19.

    That'd be the 1.3, not going to lie I find it odd there's a sunroof on a targa top :D

    Meanwhile in Granard

    Immaculate W116 in Greystones recently. It's not the first time I've seen it around; looked & sounded fantastic.
    It's coming up as a '79, so one of the later W116, iirc they changed to the W126 in 1980/81

    A friend of mine used to own that. I posted a few pics of it here a while back. There's only about 10,000 miles on it.

    Yup, that's one of the last W116's. I have seen it about as well though not too often. Pity it has the wrong wheels fitted.

    The original wheels were in the boot when my friend had it.

    I'd say so. My friend only drove it about ten times. The longest drive was from the South of England over to here. It was kept in a warm building with a dustsheet over it for about 3 years. Whoever has it now got a really good low mileage car.

    Audi Coupe (1970's version) in Audi Wexford showroom today. No pics, just spotted it as I passed by. Red in colour.

    Spotted this Daimler Dart in Carrickmines on Sunday. Only way to describe it is "show condition".

    Not sure if anyone is familiar with where this is parked, but I came out of the DART station across the road today and noticed two pretty shady looking lads peering into this. They looked up and saw me and a small number of others leaving and quickly took off.

    Of course they could just be admirers but that wasn't my first impression.

    I can't tell if the owner is local or parks up and uses the DART (its a very quiet area), I do hope its the former though.

    It's a daily driver, see it fairly regularly out and about. An old gentleman drives it and I don't think he sees it as a classic.

    Ive seen it loads of times too and usually with his wife (?) driving it. I saw it in Ferns on Thursday and last Saturday she was buying wiper blades in Tommy Hylands!

    I wasn't going to take a photo of this, but I'm glad I did. I see very few as original as this. 1 owner from new.
