Spotted a blue 94 G mini about an hour ago in the Dunnes Stores car park in Galway. Looked pretty clean from the quick look I was allowed to give it. My housemates wanted to go home. :(

I thought there was a yellow six wheeler on UK plates on done deal. I'm probably wrong. Doubt there's many six wheelers about!
