Spotted a few Minis last week on my way into town for work and in two cars parks in city

Firstly saw a black mini parked in the gate house on Chapelizod side of the Phoenix Park. Saw it there before aswell a while back.

Secondly spotted this in Irish Life car park on Abbey Street was wondering how you would get a wheelchair into it though as all the seats where still in place

and spotted this in the car park for Hilton Kilmainham it is same car park as all the apartments around there aswell

Spotted a very strange Austin Cooper S with Mk3 doors and generally an odd finish in Graham Walker car sales in Harold's Cross. Been there for a while alongside a very nice Mk2 Golf.
