    Yes, Durrow 2010, 8470th photo my poor old overworked camera has taken:D

    Was that the year of the traffic jam? Or was that 09?

    Camera must have crossed the 10k mark by now surely?

    Year of the mad traffic jam was 2009, so bad was the traffic that the last few cars getting out just did a U-turn and went to Durrow '10.



























    True story. :cool:

    Spotted this today in a shed that i have passed every day for years, never knew it was there, though theres not much salvageble really...:eek:
    Asking locally it seems its been there for 20 years or more, good time for it to be well vandalised..

    Thats a pity, they were horrible rotters and that one looks in clean order, they are non existant nowadays.
    Gary Onkle or whatever he calls himself these days is a big fan of them.

    I am indeed, I really want one and made an offer on a couple of UK based examples. One never came back to me and the other guy decided to keep his one


    I'm concentrating on getting racing at the minute so something like this is a bit away. The lenses and bits from that car would be a rare find though, such a shame to see it vandalised in such a way

    Having gone through all 200+ pages discovered the Mazda twice more so I'm not the only one wandering around the lane-ways of Carrickmines. This forum is deadly!
    I took these pics in a French scrap yard about Nov 2010

    The two bottom ones are Peugeot 203s, very common car in its time for the post-war manager. A lot got exported to the former colonies, it was essentially the bedrock that Peugeot used to build its rep for good strong solid cars on.

    Where is the scrapyard btw?

    Scrap yards in France are so much more awesome than the EPA ravaged places here. Dam you environmental protection agency.

    Thanks for info! Scrapyard is fairly small I'll see if I can dig out some more pics of it, situated just outside Narbonne, there were loads of Renault 4's there as it was behind a garage specialising in them.

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    I'm pretty sure it is a Borgward. See the little holes in the front middle of the bonnet? That must be where the letters G and the W of Borgward once were :)

    And the hole in the middle of the grille is where the diamond badge must have been connected to

    Edit: only spotted the picture of the rear now. I think it is a Borgward Hansa

    Saw these over the weekend, early Civic, no idea if its original Irish or the condition of it, along with a ratty London Taxi, there were a couple of other interesting cars there including a white 70's Roller.

    Yes, it’s an Accord - the Civic of that era was a much smaller car, almost Kei-sized.
