    Greystones/Bray sightings over the weekend..
    Corolla is a daily driver, as is the Rangie; most likely it's a re-shell (Cartell shows it as a 3 door)

    That Spanish built Dodge is absolutely fabulous!

    Sure is. Saw a similarly shiny black 69 Camaro in Malahide earlier.

    Was there no tinted glass on Kadett GSI when new as standard?????.

    Seems surprising when even the 2nd up from base Vectra (GLS) had it

    This E30 is a daily driver around north Dublin, young enough looking chap at the wheel too. Including this there must be 6 or 7 E30s in daily use around my way, all of which have appeared on this thread at one stage or another!

    I used to go to school with the son of the lady driving the Starlet, she has it 20+ years I'd say.

    That's not a GSi according to carsireland.ie, but a 1.2 Junior in GSi clothes.

    That was my exact suspicion......

    I didn't want to simply call out the idea that this wasnt a genuine GSI as I don't know enough about them.

    I thought it was missing the GSI rear quater window vents. Could be anything under the bonnet though

    No photos unfortunately, as I was driving, but lots of old cars (incl. a Ford Model T delivery van) in Cahirciveen last weekend - obviously a group doing the Ring of Kerry. It was like a time warp driving through the Main Street with cars from the 50s/60s/70s/80s all parked up.
    Also, outside Glenbeigh an 87 Audi 80 E, they look tiny like the e30’s of the era.
