That yoke is there with years, there was a merc there as well ( as far as I recall it was a merc anyway)
I asked a few people about that volvo but nobody knows anything about it.

There's an A8 there now any time I've passed recently.

The guy that owns that funeral home is personal friend of mine. I must ask him.

I'd give that Volvo a loving home!

What actually does happen to abandoned cars?

Id say if you contacted to local garda station and council office, they might be more than happy to see it gone

Eventually people get fed up looking at it and report to the Council.
They slap a warning notice on it, and eventually get the local scrap yard to pick it up.

It's being there with years.
I think it's open even.
I doubt it would be missed. It's in the Iceland carpark.

I visit occasionally. Guy was with the car and he had two big pro-life stickers on it form what I saw.
There's also a 98W Navy Saxo that I've seen around to.

That's a thing of beauty.

Though if it was me I'd be getting red plates on it.

Love that 924, it has the look of an early one in those colours and with no rear spoiler. I've been quite enjoying this one which my father acquired a few weeks ago:

My sister was nice enough to photo this during the week. Its funny how this hobby can rub off onto other family members! :pac:

Hilarious... My next photo is one the missus sent me this morning...

One from the other half spied on the road the morning.

In other old car news, the NCT is nearly up on this bleedin thing. Can't believe I have it nearly a year. Longest I've ever had a car

Never! I have a good mind to bring it with me to England in a few years

Duke O Smiley · 24-07-2019 10:36pm

Well wear, that looks very tidy

Nekarsulm · 24-07-2019 11:25pm

Thanks Duke, bit of lacquer peel on that front wing, and a few tiny blisters of rust to be attended to.
Drove home from Wicklow to Cavan perfectly on Monday night, on Tuesday it wouldnt idle properly, nor accelerate properly.
Tonight put a set of plugs in, and discovered a quick attach battery clamp that was literally hanging off the pole....

Nice car your Dad has too :cool:
I wouldn't be up to scratch on the 924 timelines, but I bow to your superior knowledge

What's the oldest car you saw on the road today?
