Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    3.0 Capri ? Can't see if there's another tailpipe on the right :confused:

    Had both, plenty of V6 Capris, and the Sunny just kept going and going - finally emigrated to Nigeria :cool:

    Never really took notice of the tailpipes on the Capri. I'm always a bit cautious when taking photos of cars in gardens. But it is indeed a 3.0 :cool:

    The Sunny is cool bus alright :cool: I had a few myself.

    I'd love to know the story with it. Seeing original Irish stuff like this makes my day.

    2 classics imho including the V70 T5:cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,499 ✭✭✭Capri


    The V70 looks like it's just got a fresh coat of paint - or one hell of a waxing :cool:

    Those 'bull bars' on the 2CV were an option AFIR :confused:

    If I had the money and an understanding wife if love to chase one down for a spot in my driveway. I had a 98 C70 T5 GT a number of years ago and I loved the feel and look of the interior

    This evening in Rathnew petrol station - Range Rover classic and yellow Caterham V8

    As owners were talking /cars building up behind me and them :mad: I couldn't get a shot but the Caterham had a little Rover badge on the grille and 2-3 pairs of small headlights.

    http://www.netcarshow.com/caterham/2009-r500/

    That Healy is presumabily 59 LS 1 , but it could also pass for 59 LSI

    The Caddy was giving it welly out of Ashford

    Both cars have Kilkenny regs. :P I have never seen a renault 9 with headlight washers, must be the top of the range model. Nice era of Renaults then and before.

    For VW fans, 3 x T25's and 2 Beetles (Note the 'size' of the Golf beside the Beetle :eek: )

    I've passed that van millions of times over the years but it never seems to move from there, yet it seems in good nick.

    BTW, theres an Irish reg Peugeot 309, Morris Minor and Jag MK2 close by on Griffith avenue :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,499 ✭✭✭Capri


    The R4 is particularily clean

    Friend of mine went in to enquire about it - didn't get a good reception :mad:

    Cannot understand people who cannot be civil about people calling to enquire about something that's on public display - if he doesn't want enquiries then put it in the garage or put a big 'F*CK OFF' note in the window :mad:

    Didnt have the iPhone close to hand but I spotted two MB W116's, two MB W126's and a DB5 in Dublin today.


  • Registered Users Posts: 186 ✭✭The Big Red Fella


    Love the Renault 4 !!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,499 ✭✭✭Capri


    Today's pics

    The Mini and Defender span a few decades so they could be clean 60's as easily as 00's. The Defender was a V8 :cool: (driven by a blond Aussie I'd say as she turned left on the red light :eek: - legal in Oz AFIK :rolleyes: )

    The Barchetta is a rare sight,nice styling

    The SL reminded me of the pre-emissions days, much as I like V8's the smell off the exhaust was STRONG :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,499 ✭✭✭Capri


    Mini :o
