    90 Toyota Corrolla. Having issues embedding so sorry for link.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,079 ✭✭✭✭Duke O Smiley


    Nice! Looks like a van?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    It's a car but it has a rather long body. It's not in bad shape.

    Nice spot what road is it parked on if you recall? Same year engine and probably color as my own except mine is a touring!

    I plan on visiting monkstown and bray soon enough to meet the relatives .

    To answer that would take a new thread :)

    If you ever get the chance, go. Everything about Morocco is great.

    Is that the Paris - Dakaar thing for cars under £100? Was supposed to do it a few years back but everyone in the team pulled out. Jealous, me?

    Abso-feckin-lutely!

    Obviously a Ferrari but what model ?  The closest I can find is a 1950's 166.  Had Targo Florio badges, etc, on it, plus a badge on front grill saying "Maranello Concessionairs Ferrari 330P  Goodwood 1964 Graham Hill".

    Spotted a 98 Porsche on the northside. No way was it possible to take a picture but it is one beautiful looking car. Black, polished and well kept.

    Yep, that's it. If you ever get the chance again, do it. Fantastic experience. I've been back to Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia numerous times since in Landcruisers.

    Have a look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsiWU3l07Rw

    Not my video but gives you an idea of the craic you'll have.

    I stayed in the Auberge Sahara in 2014 at 2:30 in this video...

    I know it isnt a very old car, But certainly a 14 Year old Rover 45 is rare on the roads, and has to be the only one still working as a taxi, I couldnt belive my eyes when I seen it, it made my night :)

    Edit; Just checked out that Rover, it was a 1.4 petrol. Brilliant!!!

    I'd say the Punto Cabrio with the replacement bumper beside it is rarer than those ST185's these days...!

    My unfocused blurry offering from yesterday. Last one I saw was filling a gap in a hedge :eek: bonus appearance from the imported white Honda Oddity Odyssey entering the R139

    Funnily enough I was standing in the middle of the road taking this, so it's even wider than the photo shows :P

    Anyway, same town this evening
