spotted a lovely little Hornet this evening on my way into work,
it was on the N11 northbound and turned off towards Enniskerry, reg no. LZU 7**

i slowed down to let him pass so i could take a photo of him going by but the camera wouldn't focus quick enough and all i got was a blur,

anyone on here own it?

Spotted this car myself yesterday on the N11 just before the Enniskerry Road.
It was flying along and had a nice rasp coming from the exhaust :shock:

I wonder if it was one of our ex-members Robert Bolton who had a rally prepared maroon Hornet. I often used to see him driving in that general area.
