I travelled in Europe a lot through work in the 90s and reckoned I could find an Irish bar, McDonalds and C&A in any city centre within half an hour. It did make me smile when, on holiday in Eire, my wife's friend suggested we might find an Irish bar in the town! Remspoor and Wibble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in unlikely places you'll find us, we're a nation where so much of our story is emigration, me included. Strolling round Helsinki, Ice Hockey central, we find a GAA Club. Brilliant. Though I think a lot of Irish bars aren't really Irish, chancing their arm a little bit. Remspoor, face and Tenmil Socket 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a bar in a small town in Italy proudly proclaiming “The Highlander Irish Bar”, complete with a picture of someone obviously Scottish in full highland dress. I suppose there’s a blurred line between Scots and Irish in Glasgow so you can hardly blame Italians mixing them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH1TE Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Pulled into services at Gordano, there was this horrific large 1970-early 80's french registered Mercedes powered motor home like breaking bad. A very bohemian french coupe and several children 6-12 got out. My oppo says dryly- that will be an "adventure" and I hope they have breakdown cover👍 Brave pill and an adventure, breaking down part of it.

warch Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 People say that crossovers are crap off road. Well that’s bollocks. Mines been stuffed up a steep wet unsurfaced Welsh hillside for two weeks now. I was using my Landrover but that seems a bit superfluous all things considered. loserone, privatewire, AnnoyingPentium and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I have a copy of "The Young Detective's handbook" from 1981 and it notes in the "Disguises" section that young people are likely to use "y'know" and "like" a lot. horriblemercedes, warch and Three Speed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me again why everyone doesn't have one? For a reliable, cheap to run car they cant be beaten in my opinion. It's just a pity they dont have enough comfort for me now, and are not capable of towing a caravan.Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulplom Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I think they're comfortable enough. Did 260 miles to Bromyard a couple of months back and got out feeling fresh enough without stopping. I wonder what the towing weight is. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I'm only* getting about 56 out of mine but then I'm not the most economical driver and the exhaust blow from the manifold probably isn't helping either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting there. Price of fuel has gone back down. Though, believe me, I would prefer to drive something that does better fuel economy but having owned one, life is too short to not have torque.

paulplom Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I've had fast cars most of my life but the roads are just too busy. It's nowt to do with fuel prices really. This I can drive flat out 90% of the time. It reminds me of the 1990 mini cooper I had about ten years ago. PhilA, beko1987 and Tickman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
