Where did you get the photo, Stan? Did you find out what they were doing with the pig? Is it to eat ? I thought maybe it was an ad for the butcher's or something, but it doesn't look that appetising.

Seen a BRG Mini today. Looked really clean, was on 12" alloys and had bucket seats. Think it was an 89 reg.

Edit: Its the 1380 one in the for sale section.

Saw a either red or orange mini nipping through Howthabout half 5 or 6 this morning. I'd only woke up so couldn't be sure of colour. I was parked over on the quay where trucks park up getting a sleep waiting for a depot to open to do a collection.

Was driving out of town on the N11 earlier and spotted an orange Clubman Estate driving into town, around UCD. It might have been Keith?
