    haven't noticed the Passat before, but the Cruiser is a regular. Owned by a Bus Eireann driver.

    I saw a little car from 1930. Not sure what type, I think it was a mini. I know nothing about cars. I was just delighted to see it. I'm beating my boyfriend in our running "oldest car we've spotted" competition. Beating him by 33 years :). We walk a lot and we keep ourselves entertained by playing "yellow reg" and "spot the old car" .

    Two from earlier today - Boreenmanna Road petrol station. A Mk II Granada in mint condition, tan with vinyl roof, and still on original plates getting lots of admiring looks. Later a white Ford Anglia with a red roof and trim line looking like a nearly completed restoration project.

    Didn't manage to get pictures of either of these as I was driving, but last night I saw a 1963 Cortina estate on the M1 heading north just past the airport exit. Looked to be in good condition, too. Later on, I was driving through Balbriggan and saw a 1970 SL Merc, also in very good nick. Two prized cars, by the look of them, and rightly so.

    Wearing a top hat is mandatory in Cork. We're getting into practise for when that oil revenue makes us all rich. I'm currently trying out a monocle as well. :D

    Anyways, two from earlier by City Hall in Cork. A Mercedes W124 estate on UK plates looking rather tired. Also a lovely looking VW Camper, red body with white roof, on repro ZV plates.

    Oh and yes

    Early 90s Audi 100 - or a Mk 1 A6 - didn't get close enough to see which of the 2 it was - the mk 1 A6 was basically a 91 model 100 with a facelift

    1987 Audi 80

    Was in looking a bit rough? Only, about ten years back, a rather battered De Lorean used to pass me on the NCR almost every morning sounding like it was on its last legs.

    Seen this Rover. Castlebaldwin County Sligo. I reckon its 1985. Old man, local, daily driver. Looks good from a distance, but patchy in places.
    Sticker on the back window says 'Gilbrides of Sligo' which is a long closed garage.

    ROVER 213
    1342CC
    657 AEI Reg. Old sligo place/ 1985/86 I think
