I know that car, it's across the road from Caroline's gran's house. It's in timewarp condition. Garaged every night without fail. The auld chap never had any kids so I'd imagine the back seat is unused. Not sure on the valuation but if it could be got at a reasonable price, it would be a good investment. Not too many of them out there in such good unrestored condition.

oh, I should add that as long as I know Caroline (since 1999) he's be going on about the condition and value of the car, any time I met him. I think someone sometime in the past mentioned €20k to him and it's obviously stuck with him. 17 years ago it was a young enough car, it certainly wasn't worth €20k back then...

That's the problem, you'd never get it for a reasonable price.

I can imagine the way that conversation would go. He'd give you his family history, tell you about the local mechanic who is well known as the best in Dublin who serviced it every 5,000 miles, tell you that his dad cleaned the leaves off it every night before wrapping it in an electric blanket, assure you that everything works and is in perfect nick. Then when you point out the rust and the broken wiper motor he will get defensive and ask what you expect from a 40 year old car and tell you he is not even sure he wants to sell it. If you do make him an offer he will have to check with his mam because she is not sure she wants to sell it either. If you do go ahead and do a deal he will make you go to his bank and take out the money in front of him so as he is sure it is not counterfeit. Then he will make you sign a receipt that says his amazingly perfect car is sold as seen. All Dubs are the same when they are selling a car - up their own arse and full of shit.

I got my daily racist rant out of the way early today. I can be happy for the rest of the day.

I don't. Rather the pictures on the thread.
The forum shouldn't have been touched imo.

I should clarify: I agree, I prefer the pictures visible at full size (or scaled down to fit the standard screen width if too big) but the "in-line" way of uploading them and adding them to a post is very quick and easy. A real leap forward IMO...

I'm sure how the images are displayed, i.e. full-size as opposed to thumbnails, is just another teething problem and will be ironed out in due course.
