    Have a mint '95 3.1 Trooper which I gladly see every day! Only 80k miles on it so another 500k to go :D Wouldn't swap it for some of the modern rubbish going around... Has everything you could possible need, heated Recaro seats, panoramic sunroof, heated and foldy in mirrors, digital AC/climate control, even has them lights that light up around the corner when you put you indicator on... Ahh you've got to love the Japs!

    and the tax on that is.........:eek:

    It's a commercial, lucky enough! Awful shame though because it would make some family wagon!

    Saw a Black ZV reg(1977 I think?) 3ltr Ford Granada yesterday. Looked in perfect nick.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,572 ✭✭✭pajor


    1992 Volvo 240SE

    With a badge proudly boasting that it was fitted with a catalytic converter. Looked like it came out of the showroom last week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,855 ✭✭✭nd

    Looks like he's coming out of the watershed. Arsehole turning right. Lots of signs there saying No Right Turn.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,560 ✭✭✭porsche boy


    Metallic grey 91 Merc 300SE in tallaght. Looked in fair condition but I'd say between the tax and petrol you could buy a new car!


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,369 ✭✭✭✭road_high


    Often see an 88-KK Mazda 626 around Kilkenny light blue/silver. Looks totally
    original and like a one-family owner since new.
    Think I've seen nuns drive around the same/similar car maybe there's two of them around Kilkenny :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,354 ✭✭✭Sobanek


    1990 BMW 318is in Hellrot :D

    1.4LX Definitely a UK import. That would be the cvh engine which was a vast improvement on the dreaded 1.3 HCS (high compression swirl, I ask ya!!) the same engine that was in the Angia ffs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 734 ✭✭✭bs2014


    a 79 left hand drive Talbot Simica! Had to look the reg up on cartell as hadn't a clue what the heck it was! :)

    Idk. Chill tells me the reg in not an import. And the car garage sticker on the rear window as well as the garage on the 4 mud flaps is the same garage that it was parked in.

    No wayyyy I thought they were all dead,you would hear the feckers before you could see them. A terrible piece of junk. The Solara was worse, remember the terrible ad's on telly. I saw your Solara outside the office.... It soon became I saw your Solara outside the garage/scrapyard etc.
