Hi everyone, long time no update due to my 7 year old laptop finally being taken off life support. Just a quick and rather poor update for now as I'm using a new Chromebook I've just bought.

 

 

 

Screenshot from a video I took back in the summer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More to come later....

[michael t]

Finally managed to upload the piccies from my phone onto Photobouquet, some little gems in this update...

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of the above including the Renner 11 were from the girlfriend, got her trained well!!

 

 

 

 

Remarkably un-wankered 

 

 

 

 

Again remarkably un-Sc3n3d

 

 

 

Family shite

 

 

 

Some serious @Lacquerpeel

 

 

 

What a beauty!!

 

 

 

 

My 10 year old sister got me this

 

 

 

Daily '84 Porker

 

 

 

This was WELL FIT!!

[Bucketeer]

Some more good stuff there.

And top work getting spotting assistants to do some of the heavy lifting for you.

[michael t]

I really should start employing them!!

[Ghosty]

Ah, the Trafford Centre SL. Been there since the place opened in '98. 

Not on the road, and the 'plate is now on a six year old diesel S-Class according to Cartell.

(It's not in Ireland though!)

[michael t]

Quick Irish shite update....

 

 

 

Smart 75

 

 

 

 

Superb Snapchat shite off a friend

 

 

 

Canvas print in a mates house

 

 

 

 

Extremely clean Renner van

 

 

I know which I'd rather have...

 

 

 

Garlic mobile

 

 

 

20 years young

[michael t]

 

 

Fantastic EmGeeBee

 

 

 

This made me chuckle, proper music!!

 

 

 

Loads of these 90s Corollas still alive here, bulletproof.

 

 

 

 

 

Mid 80s German barge in great condition

 

 

 

Absolutely Stunning!

 

 

 

Caterham 7??

 

 

 

Plumes of smoke not seen since the Buncefield explosion in '05 followed this down the road...

 

 

 

Vulva barge

 

 

 

MK1 too!

 

 

More coming soon...

[Jim Bergerac]

 

I know which I'd rather have...

 

Is that a Maestro wheel on the generic Mitsubishi 'banger'?

[michael t]

Alright shiters? time for me to update this thread, I'll get the poorer quality phone images out of the way first...

 

 

 

 

 

Refreshingly Un-gaffer taped Mondeo

 

 

 

Croatian Saab spotted by the Mrs.

 

 

Shonky Golf

 

 

Superb stuff, should probably have waited a while till I could download it as a PDF as it cost £15 and you can only really flick through it once..

 

 

A cousins daily out in France

 

 

Wonderfully shabby Rover with what can only be described as paper mache front arches

 

 

NEON!!

 

 

First time I've ever seen one of these in the wild, MEGA clean

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fuckin hate VW campers...

 

 

Time for some Aran Island spottages on Inishmore (off the coast of Galway) plenty of tatty motors here due to the remoteness and lack of car ferry over to the islands

 

 

Wonderfully rusty Mercedes Sprinter, close up it looked utterly fucked

 

 

Abandoned pub shite

 

 

The passenger side rear wheel was askew on this Ovlov

 

 

Truly beautiful place

 

 

Galway Ford enthusiasts collection

 

 

Ooooh a Talbot

 

 

A well used P1800, sounded sweet

 

 

Nice and clean Disastra

 

 

This Pug was sensational, anyone that drives a 70s Peugeot and is an Israeli apartheid opponent is clearly a WINNAH

 

 

Cute Bambi

 

 

 

 

Rare '89 Citroen camper

 

 

Did I say rare?

[artdjones]

The Saab is from Bern in Switzerland

[hairnet]

504 OOF

[Eddie Honda]

shed of a "Sprinter" is a Vito

[michael t]

Few more from the past couple of months, 

 

 

Very tidy 

 

 

 

Not often you see a 20 year old Renault on the road never mind a 30 year old one, absolutely spotless!

 

 

1987 Talbot camper

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seeing this resulted in a dangerous swerve manoeuvre and sudden braking, what a stunner!

 

 

Deutsch Mazda many miles from home

 

 

Still plenty of 90s Merc's about here

 

 

Mega shite Merc camper

 

 

Worried my Fiesta may go this way, mine's already had a rear arch replacement and is beginning to go again...

 

 

 

 

Place where the IRA dumped Jean McConville's body in the early 70s (not shite related but still quite noteworthy)

 

 

Nice early MK3 Disastra

 

 

and another...

 

 

Two spots by the woman, her apprenticeship's going well

 

 

I was amazed when I saw this 528i abandoned on Gormanston beach in County Meath. It was fairly knackered and had been trashed both inside and out.

 

 

The only rear salvageable part was this engine cover, looks nice now it's been cleaned up, PM me if you want it, shiter's discount available

 

 

 

Abandoned petrol station in Jonesborough, Co.Down

 

[hairnet]

was in ireland over the weekend 87 starlet and a merc camper on a55 on way home is all i saw

[michael t]

and that's all your likely to see, 90s scrappage sheme means all the chod died out quite a while ago

[michael t]

Alright shiters? time for an update

 

 

Lovely old garage nearby, the 80s signage is superb

 

 

 

 

 

Lovely local Maxi, giffer owned too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's something so "right" about an Alfa on axle stands

 

 

 

 

Hate these god awful things but this was actually quite nice, very original and very clean

 

 

 

 

 

See ya later

[michael t]

Quick thread update...

 

 

 

Interesting side by side comparison of my Mk4 and its younger sibling

 

 

 

 

Superb daily Merc estate

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very neat Polo

 

 

more later

[michael t]

Forgot to post these from the west of Ireland last summer.....

 

 

Still a fairly common sight on Irish roads, bulletproof

 

 

 

 

 

This looked largely abandoned but still nice and tidy, loads of old shite on the Aran Islands as these next few pictures will prove...

 

 

Fucked...

 

 

 

A Vauxhall in deepest Opel territory

 

 

 

Excellent supermarket trolley steelwork

 

 

Mondeo in patchy bumper paintwork shocker!!!

 

 

 

Random bloke with sideburn goodness, note the 95 Fiesta in the background

 

 

 

There's a 96 Escort in there somewhere.. (I promise)

 

 

 

Id love to buy this and simply leave it in my garden as a piece of modern artwork

[hairnet]

dont see 208 308 anymore

 

saw this on saturday at hodson bay hotel athlone

 

123 merc saloon in beige and many aul masseys

 

 

 

[junkyarddog]

^^^ was there a few weeks ago,

Didn't see that though.

[michael t]

Here's some recent shite 

 

 

 

These just don't age, 23 years old and still looks fresh

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very tidy

 

 

 

 

 

 

This next lot were taken today at the AXA Classic show at the RDS in Dublin (phone camera means shiny pictures sadly)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Panhard was super shoddy

 

 

 

 

 

Absolutely stunning

 

 

 

 

 

FUEGO!!!

 

 

Imported Alfa Guilietta, the UK registration is engraved on the windows, nice 80s security feature

 

 

 

 

 

 

FIT!!!

 

 

The car parks at classic shows are usually just as good as the show itself..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favourite spots so far this year, absolutely spotless

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hairnet]
