yeah it looked in really nice condition alright. cooper S badge on the front, but i think it might be a bit of badge engineering (which ive been guilty of in the past)

Saw a 02 cork reg black mini, (classic Mini) on the old Dublin road in Enniscorthy yesterday. Would i be right in saying this is a guy called Pat Cody? I flashed the lights and he waved but also looked confused as to why i flashed. But then i was in a modern car. I think i was driving either a Primera or a Megane.

hi all,
drove from clonmel to ashbourne this morning,,, not a mini in sight till i got as far as the naas bypass,, had to pull in as i thought i had a puncture and as i was getting back into my sprite,,,i caught a glimpse of a brown/purple mini with a white roof in the outside lane and he was moving!!!!!!!
was lovely to see minis among all the modern cars on the road,, and well able to keep pace,... keep them going lads!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Skelly,
Well spotted. That was my Clubman you spotted there. I have been working on it for a few years now and only recently taxed and insured it to bring it out on the road. I registered it on a 79WH plate and happy to say it is driving like a dream.
Seen a red/orangey 89 D on the M50 at around 7:45 earlier (between Dundrum and Firhouse). Was going to beep as I went past, but beeped at the other person not moving from the overtaking lane instead!
