Spotted on Fitzwilliam Sq earlier today..
Apologies for the quality, I couldn't turn around!

Very arty!

Any colour but "birch", thanks.

Mike.

Pic taken from a late model BMW 635:D
I'd recognise that stitching anywhere.

Correct and right!
89 to be precise. The mirror was very kindly kicked off by a young gentleman while the car was parked on the side of the road. It obviously caused him great annoyance...

The bodge repair job was done by myself, temporarily! Another must do..

Don't think it will make the nct Mike. Must look on eBay again today for a mirror!

Remember when the granny looked like a huge car.? ...Whats that behind a micra or yaris....:rolleyes:

carchaeologist · 04-03-2008 08:25PM

Its true:eek:, now you say it the micra looks gigantic doesnt it, makes the once big granada look tiny!!:)

carlosfandango · 04-03-2008 08:41PM

Think it must've been the angle that I took the photo on my phone. The car actually looked quite big and refreshing amongst all of the other cars parked on the street. As usual I was just taking a quick snap in order not to get noticed and so didn't really frame the picture properly.
I think the owner was talking to someone close to the car. I wasn't the only one taking a pic and was actually expecting it to turn up here from someone else!

carchaeologist · 04-03-2008 08:48PM

Still a nice slice of nostalgia though!!!:D

1275gt · 05-03-2008 04:31PM

Outside the office just now.

carlosfandango · 05-03-2008 05:36PM

Gotta love the old fiats...
There's a photographer who drives one around Dublin on occasions, amongst other things! That one looks like it needs a little detailing but great to see it being used.
I'm a sucker for them. Never owned a 500 and always promised myself one. Pretty unlikely at this stage.
Nice pic 1275gt.

Very tidy, i like the authentic plates in the old style! Sorry to go off topic, but whats the ship is in the background?

Sids Not · 05-03-2008 07:05PM
