    Nobody, and yet, everybody. If you or anyone wanted to promote Mossey's or any other show, start a thread, post the details. If you're not sure who to go to for help, ask publicly and you'll find out. Nobody is a saint or a sinner here. It's a hobby. To be enjoyed at your leisure. Or not...

    MLVW show

    I'm not knocking it. I can make constructive criticism (that you literally asked for) without knocking it. Did I say anything derogatory about the day? I did support it, I was there on Saturday. Despite the unfortunate weather, I made the trip in the Beetle. I paid my money on the gate, I...

    I wasn't going to say but since you asked... Better entry price on the gate for day-only exhibitors. It was €30 to get in and display a car. I think that's the most I've EVER paid for entry to a car show. Better reward/memento of the day for exhibitors. Most shows etc will give you a sticker...

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    are those pics the "before" or "after" pics? If they're the "after" pics, they show some ropey bits that should have been attended to better. The sides of the engine bay are still rusty and the front bumper iron gasket and aerial blank have been painted over. Just screams "cheap blow-over" and...

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    That looks well in the pics and the price is very good. And it's complete, driving etc Compare to the beige one with the bad paint job for €4k needing lots of parts and labour still.

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    That's great to see! That van came dangerously close to being weighed in! There can't be too many original aircooled RHD T3 buses left that haven't been converted to campers. Those wheels though...

    VW Convertible.

    I've met a couple who bragged about buying cars from people, promising the sun moon and stars about how they're going to restore it, how it was the exact same one their dead dad used to own, how it brought back all the memories, choking back the tears etc all, how they only had "x" to spend...

    Shamrock glass

    Feck all, sadly. Anyone who's ever broken a Beetle still has the glass in their stash because it's the only thing that didn't rust!

    It's my old B1 Passat Jim. The orange 76 LHD auto. The brown bonnet is from the B1 Audi 80 I broke when I was restoring the black one.

    you have to grind off the heads from the rivets and replace with bolts, nuts and crucially, washers too.

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    Was for sale in Cork last autumn for €5300. Looks like being outoors is doing it no favours

    [For Sale: Car] Bargains on DoneDeal

    It does indeed, I got the gearbox out of it in 2018/19, can't remember which. It's in Duts's Beetle now. The remains of the car weren't great. It looked like it had gone on fire, a resto had been attempted then abandoned. Finally left out in the weather to seal its fate.

    What's happening to this thread?

    Come on lads, you've been around long enough to know that any forum is only as good as the content the members post in it. Instead complaining about how quiet it is, do something to make some noise! The idea of not posting something here because it goes unnoticed is misplaced I think. I don't...
