Actually parked the car and walked down the road to picture this, immensely shite

Been almost a year since I updated this absolutely exceptional spotting thread fairly mediocre spottage thread. Enjoy...

Had a rare weekday off work last Friday and decided to venture to the suburbs of North Dublin which are still a rather rich hunting ground for chod. My tactics are fairly simple, hunt down housing estates that are 30+ years old and crawl through surveying every driveway for 'talent'. I'm sure it looks extremely odd if not slightly suspicious when you see a car creeping up to your driveway with a camcorder poking out of the window eagerly taking rapid snaps of the 1994 Honda Civic you've had on the drive since Eamon passed away 15 years ago but fear not, the pictures are relayed to a few weirdos enthusiasts on a motoring forum who lust over most things pre-1997...

Ovlov in Mornington. Co. Louth.

Late, clean 25 in Newry, Co. Down, shame Rover died shortly after this was built. Always though the facelift 25 was quite a looker..

 

post-4610-0-65100600-1540636660_thumb.jpg

This time a few years back I wouldn't have looked at this twice. They're slowly but surely disappearing now so and still mostly giffer owned.

Great effort! Your modus operandi is the same as mine was the year I lived in Leicester. Do like that F reg Lancer. Sierra also.

 

Is there a way of telling with the 87 on registration whether something is "imported" later than the year on the plate? Not sure if that makes sense, I presume they start at e.g. 94-D-1 and just keep going up in numbers?

Hey, I recognise that car!

 

4014957060_a99717f843_o.jpg

1973 Ford Cortina 1600 Mk3 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

 

It was owned by some local people I vaguely knew and it'd been in the family since new I believe. When I heard how cheaply they sold it for (about £1000 from memory, cheap for a decent Mk3 even then) I was disappointed I hadn't gone for it myself. My photo was taken in 2007 and DVLA shows it with an export marker and untaxed since 2008 so it looks to have been in Ireland for 10 years now.

 

Do like that Cressida in a later update, they're great-looking things. I remember that metallic bronze colour being common on them.

That is amazing!! Thanks for sharing that. Looks as if it may well have been sitting in that spot here in Ireland (Dublin) since 2008.

Few years off being "total shite" but I was surprised to see one of these on a 2004 plate.

Wonderfully shonky old Lancia, god only knows how it has lasted this long, testament to the courageousness of the owner who probably puts less dosh into their mortgage every month than this!

...hope its 'alright' for me to add a few 'visual shite'blebs' to this thread, as Im never the best at 'papping' shite; either too busy/ with the work crew in the van or other reasons such 'cant be bothered stopping, some other knob in an Audi up my arse etc.

 

Spotted this fizzley 'singer gazelle' in the over flow yard to the dealer that eventually got his/her hands on my olde 190E AMG kitted 92, n was marketing it for 7 times the amount I sold it for, after fitting 19in newer AMG yick rims, n listing all the bits id done to it; in carrick on Suir;

 

...theres a bungalow type greasey spoon / dinner place in between his 'retail outlet' n the overflow yard as you drive out of carrick' to Waterford...

while Im here there also this base beetle 1200 with marathon wheels on it in the window of an ex-garage / panel beaters in a village near tipperary town; being an occasional VW licker; I rang my mate that evening, n he said, hes known of it for years n the owner wants telephone €€€€ for it, n its 'a lot rustier than you think'...

 

(couldn't get any better more pics of it due to window glare/reflection/dust/incompetency

Wee spin up to Belfast yesterday, I was expecting a colossal shite fest, on par or perhaps exceeding what Dublin offers every time I visit. How wrong I was... There was very little to feed on. Maybe I visited the wrong parts or was 10 years too late. Anyhow this is what I saw...

After the disappointment of my trip up to Belfast last Thursday I decided a restorative trip to the shite haven of South County Dublin was in order and.... it certainly did not disappoint!!

Truly abandoned and knackered old Audi, according to Streetview it's been that way for around 10 years. Sadly there was no sign of the French fancies next door.

Bloody hell I'm tired after all of that. Quite possibly the best days shiting I've ever had. South Dublin in particular seems to have its own mini micro-climate of shite.
