96 KY green cooper at the oval, palmerstown. Then at the next set of lights, a 94 D red with a white roof driven by a woman with a shock of red hair! Later, parked outside pearse st garda station, a 97 D red cooper with white roof and mirrors, stage 3 arches with shiny minilites.

Seen this one around the corner from MarkCaffo's house. It would make a very nice project.

Seen this one out in Dublin heading up towards the train station

Image

Seen this one in Brady's pub in Shankill. Its driven by a very nice French man and it's on French plates. I gave him a card and my phone number and then he said he'll call me for coffee! :shock:

It is a girl lads. Don't worry! The reg is 93WW5534 or something along them lines.

Seen a Mini up the back roads of Enniskerry today. Iwas on a Geography trip and seen it in a driveway. It was in very bad shape. A white one. We were going to Knockree for this trip and it felt like the Italian Job and the roads were so narrow and the bus was preety similar!

Yep, thats usualy the way. Though when I first got my Mini I got flashed at a few times by a blond girl in a red Mini in Shankill area. It made my day until I realised she was only flashing at me because of my car :oops: :lol:
