I saw a green 98D (i think) green cooper about 3:30 driving up towards the M50 from Dundrum on Sunday and then I seen a maroon mini city (96D63XXX) parked up outside Tescos in Dundrum shopping centre on Saturday.

glad to hear youre back on the road Karl! dont pass down by your gaff anymore these days, but i did miss it when i drove past!

Speaking of missing things, I miss minis! BMW drivers, surprisingly, arent as nice as mini drivers!

saw a tahiti blue sports pack down by kimmage cross today. nearly shed a tear :(
