Re: Seen a Mini?
Saw KMG in his orange clubby estate disappearing into the freezing fog late on Thursday night in Lucan 
I gave him a few candles to help visibility (or was that to help demist his Windscreen....!)

Re: Seen a Mini?
I keep spotting a GORGEOUS 92 MH/MN registered mini (i think) bombing down the quays VERY early most mornings,
swings onto the quays from the IFSC and right up the south quays towards heuston. Have seen it
20 times in the past few weeks. Its a MkI coop lookalike with Mk1 rear lenses, rally style numberplate decal on the bonnet.
Sounds sweet too

You forgot to mention the 20+ Minis we saw parked outside a house en route to Stranraer or were you too busy trying to find a hedge to stop off at to get rid of all that beer you drank....!!!
