There is a red mini with an 81 reg (134 PZL) parked up the back of a tyre depot under the railway bridge on shaw street (off pearse street). Anyone know anything of its past? I must drop in and make some enquiries whenever I get 5 minutes.

That was on a few months ago. Its a Cooper. There are a good few sections with the Mini in it, but don't worry if you forget to watch it, it wasn't up to much

Saw a 95 Sprite up on Gardiner Street last Saturday,
It was outside the Church and had two huge cushions on the seats so I reckon its owner must have been inside.

Looked in good nick too
