Haven't seen any minis in ages but saw two this afternoon:)
I was on my way to St Annes Park and saw both on the Clontarf road heading into town, red with black arches and then a late sports pack in Tahiti blue.

Actually I lie, I was coming home from Belfast last Friday aternoon and I saw a smart little red possibly a sprite near Banbridge going the other way.
