Tony,

Did I see you driving the white '93 mini in Clonmel yesterday about 2.30? I was driving a silver/black Daimler.

These are owned by the owner of Sarsfield tyres on Ballyfermot Road. He brought the Red Mini to MIni 50 and only bought the Convertable a few weeks ago in UK.

Spotted a Cooper sport 500 with chrome superlights in Dundrum early this afternoon. If it is anybody on here you need some air in your front left tyre.
