I'm from Bennettsbridge, born and reared!! My dad's the local mechanic, up the Gowran road. I've moved out now (since 2000ish) I'm often home with the parents, sometimes in my bug, my grandad's old '73, also tarted up to look older ;)

I have ya now, don't know yourself, but would know your dad, been up there at the garage once or twice, think I saw 1 or 2 of your projects up there, actually met you towing a rolling chassis one day I think, it was heading up that way anyway ?

Nice car by the way

yeah that's be me dragging all sorts of scrap all over the country ;) I've cleaned out a lot of the rubbish that was at the garage belonging to me, there used to be a lot more rusty shite of mine there!!

I must have a chat with you some day, you living in the Annamult area? Near Powers/Graces/Aspens?

No don't live out that road, but did have the car parked out there for a while at my uncles house, I live next door to John Kinsella there beside Woodlawn, wouldn't mind a chat actually , was told you may be able to help in locating a 1600 engine, your dad said you were the man to ask, the one in the car needs an over haul, so I'm trying to get my hands on another to recondition so I can just swap it over in a day, hate to have it off the road for too long, next time your around knock in, I live in No.3, the car is usually parked outside
