I spotted that Dear three years ago in Northside shopping centre, nice to see it still going. Same owner for the last twenty years

SmartinMartin · 10-09-2020 8:53pm

It looks cleaner now.

Duke O Smiley · 10-09-2020 8:55pm

Yep, it was very grimey when I saw it. Looks like he got the lacquer sorted on the boot too!

Two peaches 20 minutes ago in Kenmare. The Beta has to be fairly rare :

I saw that Lancia yesterday in Drumcondra. Apparently there’s an Alfa 3.0 V6 in it

Those Monte Carlo’s are mid engined if I remember right?

Thats right

SmartinMartin · 10-09-2020 9:42pm

The way the back box is sideways and the air vents on the rear panel would lead me to believe it's rear engined, but I'm far from an expert.

Duke O Smiley · 10-09-2020 9:42pm

E30 in Glasnevin and Mini in Terenure, both today

SmartinMartin · 10-09-2020 9:44pm

See, I'm no expert!

Am I the only one who sees that passenger door ajar and automatically hears the awesome clunk a 993 door makes when it closes?

2.0 4 cylinder so I'd expect it's a challenge to shoe horn a 3.0 V6 in there

Duke O Smiley · 12-09-2020 9:53pm

Sandyford and Coolock

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

Kind of related. This popped up today on a channel I follow. They've lots of other interesting stuff on there otherwise.

Hah! I was googling something else in Sandyford just before I posted that photo. This was outside the Raddison on the Stillorgan road

Only copped now, but the rear lights on the Dedra gave a me a whole Primera Mk I one buzz when I scrolled down the page too quickly.

Buy yourself one of these stack lifts to keep your classics - you'll never have to go through that heartache again

Bigus · 20-09-2020 3:57pm
