      I think the car in the shed is a Chrysler Hillman Hunter

      Saw this the other day on........ Capel Street yet again. I have no idea of the year it might be. Anyone?
      There seem to be alot of restored Mercs around these days. Not just classics but models from the late 70's and early eighties.

      It's a '64 as far as I know. It lives in Terenure and appears to be a daily driver.

      It belongs to Johnny Greene who deals in classic cars, beautiful car pity about the glass sunroof though. If it was mine I'd fit a Webasto canvas roof in it instead. I can't believe someone thought it would be a good idea to fit a glass sunroof in a car like that...and no it wasn't fitted by the present owner.

      Saw a DS for sale today in Donnybrook,malborough road to be exact. Took a pic but my new phone doesn't have a removable card. It was a blue one, looked in good nick outside but I noticed a rip in a front seat.I'll try and send it via email to myself and see if it's viewable.

      Citroen(s) all parked down the road adjacent to my house (and another two round the corner). All identical, no idea what they were doing there but they were gone at 0630 this morning...

      I think that was a gum/gunball rally or something, saw a few last week too.
