Just looking at the pic above, do you guys worry about taking your classic out in the rain? I personally check the weather before going out. Am I being too fussy?

My car spends roughly 363 days a year in a very dry shed. I'm not fussy at all what weather it's exposed to for the 2 days it gets out!

I generally check the weather and make a call. If I get caught in it there is little I can do.

I'm more worried about salt and gritters. If it rains when I'm out then so be it but if its lashing down then I wont take them out.

saw this today - nice bus.

When I played with dinkys as a kid - it was always an estate that I brought camping to the woods.
Bringing this old bus up to ticknock to go mountain biking seems close enough !
He's living my dream

Its been here a while judging by the plate - but soon to enjoy its age.

If he lived in Wexford he'd already be on €56.

That camper has been in Sandycove for many years. Not sure if it ever moves though.

nice pics WA - those wheels on the Caddy in the last photo are hilarious

It looks either photoshopped, or the car is on those air rams, and is about to "transform"

Yes, it's awful. To make it worse, he did a burnout leaving the car wash. :rolleyes:

Wishbone Ash · 09-02-2021 10:59pm

Skerries tonight.

Old fashioned air-con there with the double skinned roof.

Sorry for the bad photo, couldn't get the phone out quick enough. Kevin St last night, anyone hazard a guess as to what it is? Looks Italian.

Type 17 · 17-02-2021 12:44pm

It's a Peugeot 404 cabriolet, owned by Chez Max, a French restaurant in Dublin city centre.

Well there goes my reputation.

Well, the cabriolet was styled by Pininfarina studios in Milan, so it looks a lot more Italian (and pretty) than the relatively stodgy saloon.

Rathmines just now, gorgeous :

They are a lovely car.

It's worth noting that Pininfarina designed the saloon too.

Not sure if this should be in the abandoned classics thread or here. Definitely hasn't moved in a long long time......

Maybe he just went inside into the house to get a screwdriver to change the plates, but decided to stare out the window at the photographer until they were gone.... :pac:

Pininfarina did the Morris Oxford/Austin Cambridge, to which the 404 bore a strong resembance.

Thanks,

It's a Datsun 260Z and the bould Síle is driving around with no MOT* on it!

BWP815M is the reg.

I'm presuming rented in for the show, but that's an odd expense for such little screen time in each episode.
