Surprised to find this Marea Weekend the other night, parked down in the harbour carpark.

A bloke was sitting in it; I was sorely tempted to rap the window and have a natter but chronic shyness got the better of me and I just took a surreptitious and blurry snap, then scuttled away.

When I arrived back later, it had found a friend!

Both drivers were now relaxing in the Cinq, enjoying a takeaway by the looks of it.

I've passed the Cinq on the road since, so maybe one or other is quite local. If I see them again, I'll be sure to tell them about this place. South Antrim needs more shiters!

Both of these are owned by a chap called Jim, if you search for “littlefiatbigadventure” or search @thealso on Twitter you’ll find out more about the cars and the owner - loves his shite and uses them properly!

Aha, I do know Jim! Well, I know his well-travelled Panda anyway!

Popped down to my local friendly motor factors to pick up a cam belt kit for the Felicia. This was parked outside.

Brilliant, if probably not legal, number plate.

The window was open.

When driving around in the Triumph I find myself dwarfed by modern traffic, even new Fiestas.

But not this! Brilliant.

 

I started chatting to him when he came out. He's owned the car since 1982. Can't be many of us who've had the same car for 35 years. He also said the car has had many different looks over the years and is constantly evolving.

 

Made my day.
