    I had a boxy 5 door 1 litre with the 5 speed box a few years ago, it was the best car in the bad snow we had as with the skinny tyres would go anywhere and was passing out 4x4 on the roads with ease

    Had the same previously with a little Clio. Like a mountain goat for the same reason.

    Hi John

    Great Video and well done, Maybe if you could get your hands on a windscreen mount for the camera it would stop you having to take yours eyes off the road so often and it would look more like the other channels on youtube. Just a thought

    I enjoy these videos.

    Could I suggest trying to stick to one look on the thumbnails? One font, one colour and don't deviate? PM me if you want me to come up with something for you. (for free).

    I'd love to and I spotted your comment under the MX5 video today.

    I had money put aside for a new camera and mount and on the last shot of the E30 video the wind blew over my tripod and broke the phone screen I was using.....cost €300 to replace.

    We also had a new baby arrive last Friday which has curtailed any spending plans for the next while.

    I do have cameras and mounts picked out which would allow me to film on my own but I can't see them being bought in the next couple of months.

    HOWEVER, if anyone happened to have an old camera with a mount that is working fine I'd be interested if I could pick one up cheap.

    This week on John's Garage we take a look at an original Irish Mini City with LESS THAN 9k miles from new. This car is completely original, never restored, painted or modified right down to the original stickers under the bonnet and tiny 10 inch wheels! Hope you enjoy it

    I also have a request, if anyone is familiar with the launch, sales, production and general history of the Mini in Ireland and who would be happy to share this with me (off or on camera) I'd love to create a video dedicated to it. Please contact me at johnosgarage@gmail.com

    First up, HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported the channel so far. This week will see the upgrading of the channel in EVERY respect, new camera, sound equipment, camera mounts and software. 


    And thanks to an anonynous channel fan NEW LOGOS. 


    But we're still focusing on Ireland and modern/retro/vintage cars here. 


    I'm filming like mad this week to get content to keep things going until Easter, so far we've recorded a proper piece of French luxury from 1984, a car that was cubed on the factory floor, some hot cats from France and in a couple of weeks a rare gullwing sports car...... and nearer to Easter the first car that put the peddles in the correct order. All of these have contributed to motoring in their own way over the past 100 YEARS. 


    Don't forget to subscribe and click the video below and try to guess what car is REVVING UP for our new starting sequence.

    Nice video. Very rare car around my neck of the woods. Think there was only ever 1 owned locally here.

    Camera is better for sure.

    My mates dad had one of them with the fancy sound system. He was the CEO of a state company. The height of luxury back then. New gear is working well, sound and vision better.
