    Pressed set. 21" x 5"

    Europlates: 01-825 1804 - Seamus

    They look nice but it doesn't look like the plates can take a ZV number with 5 digits :-)

    Another bloody stickie! If you spot a classic and take a shot please put it here rather than start a fresh thread.

    I'll start, I spotted this Lotus Elan parked in Catherine Street here in Waterford. Had'nt seen it before. Today I also saw 2 Silver Clouds, and 2 Jenson Interceptors but they were moving and so was I :D

    Ode To The Motorist

    “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”

    Great thread, mike65!

    This is my first post here and hopefully the first of many.

    So, here goes:

    picture.php?albumid=1068&pictureid=5404

    Jensen Interceptor. The light was very harsh late afternoon sun so it's not the best of a photo... a true rarity! :)

    In Nutgrove? I just read in a classic mag that they will burn a gallon of fuel in 20 mins if idle, and I thought the Mustang was bad!
