Digital Dilapidation (JUNE 2016)

[michael t]

Thought I'd start a brand new spotting thread as the old one was getting a bit extensive and muddled. I'd previously always considered Ireland to be a fairly poor place to spot shit old cars. Multiple scrappage schemes since the mid 90s coupled with the Celtic tiger meant that lots of older perfectly good cars were slaughtered and new dull and uninspiring ones created and sold. I was of this opinion up until I actually began driving myself and started driving around larger towns and cities such as Dublin and Galway where, much to my intense satisfaction, it's clear to see that there are plenty of shite old cars about. One 10 minute drive around a housing estate in Dublin last week churned up 10 shite old cars, something which just simply doesn't happen when you live out in the country like I do. Anyway here's the proof...

E36 looks like it hasnt moved for a while, Been a bit since ive seen one with those tacky aftermarket lights

 

Are you spotting from a micra ? Thought so from the side profile

 

Nice spots guv.

Are classic Rangie prices as daft in Oirland as they are in the Ununited Kingdom?

[michael t]

Yeah classic Rangie prices are mental over here as well although I've seen 3 or 4 locally recently.

That looks like the N70 between Kilorglin and Cahersiveen.   Good spots, always seems to be lots of base spec Japanese shite over there.
