My parents were coming home from France and when coming through Rosslare port on Wednesday lunch time they spotted 2 Tahitti blue mini sportspacks with webaso's one 97 and the othe 98. One D plate the other KE plate. If they remember correctly.

They spoke to the guys driving but forgot thier names. But they were IMOC members. I'd imagine they were returning from IMM and from the comment one of them made about me and my shortage of hair i guess it may have been Ronan O Carrol????

I also saw Joe Conboys car,I think it was his son who was driving it.A young fella wit tight hair cut,lovely car :). I have a picture but I just can't get it up on this phone for some reason any I'm sure ye all know what it looks like.

And on the way home I saw a lovely blue mini not sure what year it was going pretty fast ;) but it was in Ballinalee lovley looking car.

Saw a really nice 00 BRG Sportspack with full length webaso roof on the Butlerstown roundabout in Waterford at 5pm today. Was 00-wd Reg and when i got closer seen a Moorepark Motors Sticker in the back window. (my brothers old company) and then realised it was a mini i bought in Garthorpe village near Scunthorpe in England and drove home.
