Another wee van. Local farmers run-around, when the jeep is unavailable. Back end was on the road, whatever he has in the back ......

Great finds Nekarsulm; I love old Irish car vans. A lot of them as you might know are quite literally unique to Ireland and as such part of motoring history here IMO.

My parents have come into possession of a house in Kilnaleck. Going by your contributions to this thread in the last few years..I hope to be kept busy down there with my camera this Summer!

There is a pub in Kilnaleck called The Copper Kettle. For years tbere was a BMW 850 coupe sitting on the main street outside it with 4 flat tyres. Dissapeared a cohple of years ago, sadly I never took the time to investigate it when I had the chance.

"Have come into possession of" most Cavan saying ever ....

Don't you guys know that Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer is banned in the South?
Only Calcium Ammonium Nitrate is allowed down here. ( CAN) which is chemically unsuitable for explosives.

Freely available in the North, and always was. Which makes you wonder about the authorities up there ....... :eek:

Three from Belturbet in Co. CAVAN.
I posted the 19 here a couple of years ago, nice to see it still on the road.

A few from the last couple of weeks. Alfa and Corolla in St Columba's college and Audi on the M7

Typically a Corkonion thinks his county IS the Republic of Ireland!

On the M50 yesterday afternoon.

I could make out 92 DL on yellow plates and he was "movin on"....:pac:

The Cortina belongs to a friend of my father's, we convoy'd down to Tipp raceway over the weekend but were soon left for dust in a 3 tonne camper. Corolla, Starlet and Micra all spotted there too. Rover on the M7. And a couple of shots of an old Micra taking quite a hit.
