Met the owner of that in Darndale a few weeks ago, sound chap. He uses it daily, its a tidy little thing

That yellow Capri is a daily driver. See it regularly on the M50 between Sandyford & Knocklyon.

That Orion brings back horrific memories. My missus had a new one, an '88 diesel in quite a high spec. It was worse than the Vectra I had and to this day I have and never will have another Ford or Opel again because of the rubbish build quality from both manufacturers. We all make mistakes!

I remember my brother had one. He didn't have much bother with it but when he decided to change he brought it to a Ford dealer. He basically told him to F*** off somewhere else with it.:D:D

My local petrol station.

sligojoek · 29-07-2019 01:41AM

An old drinking buddy of mine.

sligojoek · 29-07-2019 01:44AM

Owned by another friend of mine. I think I had pics of it up before.

pablo128 · 29-07-2019 12:29PM

Benalmadena, Spain half an hour ago. Seat 127 mk1, very dusty but in near perfect condition.

I'm trying to find a good vintage one of those..... any ideas

Garzard · 29-07-2019 07:05PM

Ely Place by Stephen's Green earlier. The reflection covering the front half of the car looks at first glance like it's been covered in Tippex..

tc20 · 30-07-2019 09:16AM

posted these two in the "whats the oldest car.." thread, but thought they're worthy of posting here.

the Rolls was in Galway, I'm guessing its from the 30s/40s?

the ice cream van was in Bray, I'm guessing make its way home after attending the airshow on Sunday evening. I'm sure I read about the owner (not the driver on the day) of this particular van, who is a rather elderly gentleman who is, or was up until recently, still doing the rounds. Anyone recognise the van?

If it's the same guy, Joe Duffy had him on the radio last year.

I haven't a clue. I'll ask him on Friday. I've a feeling that one came from the UK or NI a few years ago.

Just looking at tc’s picture again, right you are. The other van is much more intricate at the rear

I have photos of it somewhere that I’ll dig out

I think Taylors is an Austin maybe and the Bray one is an LDV?

Interesting enough the truck in tc’s photo comes back as a Morris LD on motorcheck, but those little low down glass panes are from an Austin FG.

I don’t know enough about old commercials to comment further. I would guess maybe they were added by the coach builder?

Two Wolseleys, two Austins and a Rover, all in great nick.

There's something similar around Sligo. Must get a pic next time I'm in. Newer than that I think it's a Ford. V8 badge on the front wing.

It's also Holden Ute. Guy who has the Swagman pub has it. Regularly parked outside there.

I had a few pints in there yesterday evening. It was parked outside and I got a few pics of it. I'll put them up tomorrow when I'm on the laptop .

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread! Part 2
