    Hi,

    Thats a Dodge Commando 100 :)

    Didn't they put, Commer / Dodge / Karrier badges on them also ? They were all from Rootes / Chrysler / Talbot company ,there's a few of those Commer / Dodges in a yard in Pimlico near Guinness's.


    On another note - there seems to be more Triumph 1500 /Dolomites running around Dublin than any other 'small /mid range cars'. I've seen 2 parked in Cabra and regularily see an orange one and a white one and a maroon 1500 driving around the southside. There's also a Triumph 1300 parked near St.Pat's on Emmet rd

    Is that a Suzuki Capuccino on the right... with a tow bar!? :confused:

    I was at the Milford Hospice Harvest Fair yesterday, also very wet but pretty decent turnout. Two DeLoreans! Lots of nice Fords too (even a Cortina Mk. IV). Anyone have any pics?

    Lovely looking yokes.
    Always used to see one the same colour around Hampstead.
    Hadn't a clue what it was when I first spotted it. Don't exactly seem to be common.

    They were really made for the American market only, a smaller version of the Corvette.

    Naahh ..there were quite a few sold in Germany. Opel even created an ad campaign just for the GT

    Nur Fliegen ist schöner

    which was broadcast/published so much that this slogan (only flying is nicer) has become part of the German language

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Its an old ford truck, seems to be used in conjunction with the harvesting, so could be used for pulling a trailer, or even just for getting around

    Pardon the cr*p photo.

    I had thought this Excel was a non runner, as it's been sitting outside a small garage for months in what looked to be the same spot, facing away from the road.
    Low and behold, today she'd been moved to face the sun :)
