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 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. :D

Unfit.

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!
