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.

Haven't photos but 2 breakdowns on the southside in rush hour
:o
Blue Dyane on the Stillorgan rd at 7.30am and white P1800 in Blackrock at 9am - the perils of old car ownership. Tho' I've never seen that regular N11 user , 63-ish Beetle, ever break down :cool: Plenty of R107's around, popular classic

Sure the ordinary D plates went over 100000 during the Tiger years so there's room on the plate for 199999 anyway, but I THINK there was a SLIGHTLY narrower font that allowed all the numbers on the standard plate.
Question is, when we get to 87 being allowed on a ZV (30+), will it be 87D23456 OR 87D103456
Some sightings. The Golf is VERY FAR from sunny NSW
Strange that the "E" has no door handles, maybe it's coming back from the spray shop. The bloody pic didn't upload. It's Capri's picture in post No.5420 -

And you were doin' so well Let's see, the last time I did a service I changed SIX plugs that were in a straight line, so ........:rolleyes:http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/chevrolet-epica-20
....For the price of a mid-spec Ford Focus you get a smooth 141bhp six-cylinder engine, a near-Mondeo-sized interior and as much spec as a top-end Mondy......To that, though, you can add a surprisingly refined 2.0-litre straight six and the knowledge that you’ve paid four grand less for the privilege.....:D0 -

Apologies, I wasn't clear. Normally when I think of straight 6 I think of a longitudinal mounting of the engine. In the Epica it's the rarer straight 6 transverse mounting of the engine. Just like a straight 6 Austin Princess!
My bad for not being clearer the first time:o
As ever I find these details more interesting that how many knickers a scooby can pull off in less than 10 seconds.
Can I ask you to share some images of the epic Epica?0 -
I was down in Ljubjana, Slovenia a few days ago and managed a small bit of car hunting in the short while I was there.
The hipster odd ball king of 1980's Hot Hatches, Saab 900s Turbo. Road tax sticker on the window said 2011 so mightn't have moved in a while
And near the end of the day I saw this poor old girl looking very sorry for itself down a side street

Not ready to show it yet These ones do ya ? https://www.drive2.ru/l/4062246863888253832/
I have the lowering springs, but the shox are a bit of a shock pricewise (€200ea :eek: ) - trying to source them from China (€40ea ). Plenty of zip in it if you use the 'tiptronic' , 'Porsche-designed' engine they say ( But so was the original Ibiza ) 0 -

few cars I saw in Kerry yesterday (beetle and Escort today)
near Castlemaine
Lispole
auto box, most likely with a 1.4 or 1.7 Renault engine. NCT expired 2 years ago.
Dingle
not sure if it's a classic, but it seems to be some sort of frankenstein built on a new chassis (just guessing from the front suspension config). Only purpose as you can see is to attract some yankee tourists.

That wing though...ought to be laws against stuff like that.
it might have some aerodynamic effect at higher speeds ... well, if that car is able to achieve such speeds of course

But I too can't fathom why someone would do that to a work vehicle though?
Maybe I'm too old, I'm 5 years off my 30th, but I just don't get the whole scene thing.
And you are posting in the classic section? Ok, I get the whole "i dont like the colour' thing, but if you dont 'get it', why comment?
As for the "5 years off my 30th" thing, why the puzzle? You're 25. Most people will understand that on it own.0 -
