Apparently it was impossible to access the church from the rear so the Minis were launched from either side as required.

Well spotted, Signor Maxi

A fab looking blue Clubman Estate (TIC 277) overtook me on the Stillorgan Road this morning.

Someone from the Club?

I was in Killarney last week and spotted a nice burgandy Mayfair -KY- reg outside the Ross Hotel. It has been converted into a convertable.
A little observation.
On the way home to Maynooth, to pass the time, I tried a little experiment and began flashing any Binis I passed. It started off well with a return flash from the Blonde lady in the the First Bini I passed. That was the end of it. Not one of the following five Binis I flashed , returned the gester (I also noticed that four of them were driven by women, three of whom were blondes). The young lad in the classic Beatle waved back, and the driver of a white van flashed me.
Pulling into the Kildare DESIGNER outlet village, I spotted about another seven Binis parked around the place, and I wasn't even looking for them nor had I passed even a fifth of the cars in the carpark.

I think that the Bini have become too common like you wouldn't flash some one who has an Astra
If it isn’t broke then it’s not a Mini

Clonroche Vintage Rally just outside Enniscorthy, had a fine turn out today with some nice sunshine and a selection of seven minis made up of four saloons, pick up, estate and a Riley Elf commanding quite a bit of interest and reminescence.
