    If I'm right, that hotel has a number for a name :)

    Yep, The Twelve Hotel, Barna. Highly recommended, friendly staff, great food and reasonably priced. And one of the few dog friendly hotels in Ireland :)

    Makes me wonder if it is the hotel owner's car. I'm sure my in-laws will now :D

    I skipped over that. Your in-laws own the place or are related to the owner?

    Lovely place it is, good setup. Good location 100m from the sea / beach of sorts, in the village which is well served with pubs, shops and restaurants. Just minutes drive from Connemara. They deserve a lot of business! Also has two charge points for electric cars, free to use, both working perfectly.

    They are down the road from the 12 and are hoteliers themselves. I imagine they know everyone. :D

    Quite a few classics down that neck of the woods actually, I regularly see an 80s 911 when I am down there (about every few weeks to visit), an SL Merc and a few early/mid 90s MX5s too. A lot of properties have garages so there are jewels stored away everywhere. :)

    Near the Rathfarnham Shopping Centre earlier. House nearby was a treasure trove with an old Corolla, Volvo estate and VW camper. Took no photos of the others though as they were in a driveway.

    Nice early '60s Dublin reg convertible Beetle parked in Nass yesterday morning, a valuable car now, great to see it out being used and enjoyed, and others able to enjoy seeing it too. Sorry about the finger :rolleyes:

    Lovely. What's going on with the rear wheel? Looks like it may have a wheel cylinder or something leaking.

    Grease leaking from the drum-brake hub? - overpacked or lost dust cap or ?

    There is only a castlenut and locking pin on the rear of the
    beetle hub , no cap.I'd say leaking brake cylinder

    So what stops the grease spinning out?

    PS: gorgeous Beetle, I remember seeing it around Dublin in the 1980’s

    Seal. More oil here than grease .
    Its that well sprayed around the wheel rim, I would say, wheel cylinder leak
    ,
    or more likely oil seal gone.Oil hub seal is a common fail on these.

    More than likely, but an easy quick fix, 45 mins and 10 euro:)

    spotted this little French beauty in Greystones at the weekend.
    The threatening piece of Americana was in Bray the other day, I think it was a '57 or '59 reg, with Eddie Rockets livery and a Cannonball sticker on the rear window

    That GS is a cracker. I see it's a left hooker which explains the good condition.

    Still a fresh looking design 50 years on from launch.

    a couple of MGBs in Wicklow town at the weekend.
    and a well kept Mercedes coupe in Greystones

    edit: you can just make out an old (60s?) orange MB camper coming towards me in the distance in the last pic

    Somewhat O/T. but saw a honey of an MGB today. Sadly without a camera on me. And.... I have a feeling in the not too distant it might become available. Anyone got a recommendation for a valuation site? Thanks

    Anywhere from a few hundred to €20,000.

    Lancia Fulvia


    I posted it a few years ago. It had gone missing for about a year, I assumed it was sold, or being restored, but it's been back a while now. It was out for a spin when I passed this morning. Sadly, being left out seems to be taking its toll on it.

    That's there everyday. Actually saw him on the way in yesterday morning as I drove out to Maynooth around 830am.


    You were oh so close to the Carina and you didn't know it! :)
