Saw a green mini in Dundrum two Thursdays ago and another green one on the M50 the Thursday gone. Think one was 91 x and the other 94 x. The one in Dublin had an IMOC sticker on the back. One on the m50 had two youngish lads in it.

Jayzus that's a minger of a GT alright , I'd say the 70's dodgy body kit is only there to hide the holes an the rust. look at the amount of oil it ha leaked in the few mins it was there for the photo.
