At least they're opposite turns so you get neck exercise

I think the joke of posting pictures sideways has run its course.

Is that not 'nexercise'?

Saw a 94 Bentley coupe earlier looked mint.

Lovely car, hate the plate.

More from Portugal,

God bless the hot dry climate. Sure it buggers paintwork and interior plastics but keeps the tinworm at bay.

Why are half the pics posted here sideways. Christ.

Reminds me of the Famous Five TV show. The uncle had one.

Another Cavan town 4x4. And another HiLux, although a youngster at only 22 years old.

91 Civic. In nice condition too. Can't imagine there are too many left that haven't rotted away to a red dust. Must have been well looked after in its life.

Apologies for the crappy pic.

Duke O Smiley · 28-02-2020 5:19pm

Nice, looks like a GL so much posher then my black bumper base 1.3!

I see that regularly in the Bray area, looks very well tended.

Including the driver who seems to sit more in the middle than in the seat.

Up in the NCT Centre in Greenhills this morning:

Raging I didn't take a closer photo of this.

Was talking to the new owner. It's a credit to the previous owner. Absolutely immaculate. Only 90k on it. The interior looks like it was installed this morning.

Had the same gripe as myself with the reg system now as he's gonna end up with a 90-D-12nnnn plate. And doesn't want a ZV mark as they aren't period correct for a 1990. That's the sort of pedantry I love (original Reg date 12 February 1990)

Garzard · 29-02-2020 6:39pm

In the Square, Tallaght this afternoon. Must be rare enough.

Its not a car, but I'm sure this absolute gem can be appreciated here. 1980 RD350 spotted in Coolock today

secman · 01-03-2020 12:58am

Saw a 77D reg Honda car, not sure of the model, didn't look familiar at all, i overtook it on the M50 this afternoon , hence no photo. Was being driven by a woman in late 20's id say.

I often see a white 77 reg Civic at classic shows throughout the year, probably was that

Lovely. That brings back memories. Always hated two strokes but you couldn't help but marvel at that bike. I knew a few lads that had them back in the day. It's a miracle any of them are alive.

Ahhh, the widow maker. There was more lads killed off those than any other bike ever made, if I recall correctly. Brakes and frame weren't up to the power. I remember a lad out in Swords had a race prepared one, used to wait out on the old Dublin road to piss off lads on big hondas and kwaks. Nutjob. It blew up every so often, but he just rebuilt it and carried on. That one is an absolute credit to the owner.

I frightened the life out of myself as a 20 yr old on one of those. I was given a go of one in an industrial estate. For the life of me I couldn't keep the front wheel on the ground. I handed it back shaking like a leaf.

Duke O Smiley · 01-03-2020 2:34pm

My da used to have a bike shop on Queen street in the 80s and he was saying many of these (and riders) met untimely ends. A widow maker is exactly what he called it!

My first bike was a 1979 RD400 ... I'd love to have one again .. hoot of a bike. Even the 350s.
