Met Mad-Mini in Glenealy earlier,
then on the way back towards Rathnew met a wedding convoy coming the other way using a red Mini with a white roof as the wedding car, with plates saying Just Married

Spotted a lovely turquoise Mini on an 89 LH plate on 10" wheels with a Lucas reversing lamp on the inner relief road in Dundalk this week.It looked and sounded sweet.And when I was down in Kerry I called to a friend who is into Ford Escorts and tucked under a cover in the corner was an 84 Kerry reg russet brown City with 17.5k on the clock.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

When I was in Sydney, you could hire mokes. Now that would be a hire car worth keeping.

I spotted two in the last two days in SLigo

One at the Carraroe roundabout, Purple with a white roof, gave a beep, got a wave back. :D

And a BRG Cooper parked at Market Cross in town at about 10 O'Clock is.
