    Buglands 2023

    Just a few pics from Buglands 2023. Nice event run by Padraig & Sarah, simple format: meet in Athlone, hang around for a chat for a little while, convoy to Portumna Forest Park where our hosts laid on free burgers for everyone. Lovely day out in a lovely location. Highly recommended. Shower on...

    Jumpstart Cars & Coffee 2023

    just a small sample of the day, I spent way more time talking rubbish with folks than taking pictures!! Kev really set the tone with his DJ skills, the Cottage kept everyone fed and watered with the finest of locally produced food and Coxy made sure we all had a complimentary dash plaque for...

    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...

    MLVW show

    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...

    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.

    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...
