Saw a very tidy mk1 or 2 , white, with lots of chrome and over riders. Didnt get the reg as I was daydreaming a little. Lovely little motor. Passed me coming up to the Roxboro roundabout in Limerick last night at about 5:15.

Also last week I spotted a Black cooper parked on O connel street Limerick....near Wacky shoes, with john cooper siggy stripes with a license plate sticker askew on the bonnet :D 97-D-2***2

Spotted a lovely red Mini mk3 a few weeks back outside the Omniplex in Limerick, with four spots, what looked like a morris badge, and a bonnet strap. Looked freshly resprayed 88-L-17**

Anyone on here ?

Sorry for the time delay in posting these up....just havent had to time to log on much. But the spotting never stops :D ......wish I could remember college stuff as well as I can Minis :roll:
And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!

Saw a red 91-D coming down Camden street on Saturday.

Just before that I was stoppedat the traffic lights outside trinity and had the window open a bit. Heard alot of "oh it's a mini!" but one guy and his gf walked past and he said " yeah they relaunched the old style minis a while ago"
