Last Saturday while on the M18 between Limerick & Ennis I meet Keith Overson with his family on holidays.....
So what I hear you ask ??? Well, Keith was travelling around Ireland in his recently acquired Mini Moke.
Keith is a member of the mini moke owners club. He was a small bit shocked at 1st about being stopped, but producing an IMOC card did help !
Thank You to Keith & family for taking the time to chat with us.

I stopped a Northern reg Moke a few years ago on their way to the Ferry by waving a copy of a Mini magazine.
