    Very nice indeed! On a side note - I thought Johnnie Fox's was the highest pub in Ireland?! :confused:

    Just had a look at the cycle layer openstreet map which has contours. I've crosschecked these before with topographical surveys and they're quite accurate. According to them Johnnie Fox's lies between +270-280m while Vartry House is slightly above +240m.

    The cheek of them!

    Perhaps a pub crawl with some accurate sat-nav equipment is called for!

    A well cared for W126 would do for a daily, but they're all thirsty as it's a heavy car. It'll be more expensive to maintain than a W124, and likely even a W123.

    I'm running a 200k miles M104 engined S124 as a semi-daily / second car, and it's never gave me any bother in that respect after some post-purchase issues were sorted out.

    It averages 18mpg, which is good enough in Dublin traffic for a car its size.

    And that's a fine car too. Love the estate
