    Those big new minis have to be one of the most hideous things on the road.

    And I've seen a SsangYong Rodius.

    OK, it was neither today or yesterday I spotted this beetle, I think it was around '05, but it left a lasting impression on me and I thought I'd share.

    Recaro interior, from what I don't know.

    I have a lot of scanned old photos of cars that I'd like to share, should I stick them up here or is this thread for recently spotted cars? or is there another thread around here where it would be good to post them?

    The Williams brothers from Limerick built it many moons ago.

    They built this more recently and lots of other stuff in between,very talented guys.

    Here's a few more taken in Dublin around the same time, pics aren't great quality due to the camera I had at the time

    If memory serves me correctly (which it doesn't always), the Aston was near Seapoint dart station, it had an Irish reg soon after I took those pics, sometime between '02 and '05.
    The SM used to be parked on Hanover quay when I was working on a boat in the canal basin around the same time.

    These are a bit more recent, I shared some storage space with this Manta a few years back, had a recent paint job as is evident from the yellow wall tyre.

    One of my favourite cars of all time, especially in it's racing colours, pics taken outside the Terenure show, maybe '07

    I haven't hidden the reg plates on any of the cars I'm posting that were taken in public as I think the reg can be an important part of the story of the car. If anyone thinks I should hide a reg, let me know and I'll edit accordingly.

    Saw this Fulvia today, looks like its been parked up for a while judging by the chock on the front wheel, exhaust was literally dragging on the ground.

    Well I do apologize.....I was swapping the engine out and replacing all the brake hoses, back on the road now, always something needing tweaking though,

    Sorry, no photo, but I did spot a green Ford Granada Mk2 on the M50 northbound between J6-J5 at 5.10am this morning - ZV9367.

    Good to see another car being out and about and being used at this time of year.

    I love the ratty avenger, apart from the reg it's like a car you would see in Cork city 20 years ago.

    pre NCT days... I had a big laugh like 3 years ago when I've read on nct.ie that NCT was introduced in 2003 in Ireland :) ... It's giving me impression that people started to drive cars in 2003 and before that there were only horses available. :) ... and by absolutely horrible driving style of some people I would believe it.. I wish I will one day have a huge american 4x4 and drive it like a bumper car.

    Spotted this thing yesterday, It wouldn't qualify as abandoned as such so I put it in here, but it has been off the road for yonks. The inlet manifold is warped (somehow :confused:) and it wont run right as it wont seal right. I think its a 2002... maybe

    and this nice irish reg(### NZJ) 2cv was in for brake repairs in our garage before christmas,
