Burtys looking good coxy! Great pics. love the old japanese stuff, especially the datsuns, dunno why cos i never really liked any of the jap stuff back in the day. NSU & the Anglias are cool too, 'specially the van. (the brother has an alfa stored in a shed with, amongst other stuff, 2 complete anglia van shells in good nick)
Ye, great pics coxy! I didn't really gettin chattin to many members coz I dont recognise too many yet, hopefully by the next eirespares event in monard I might be better :sorry:
But it was great craic. The cars lookin very good, especially the silver merc sl300. It looked like the gullwing! Anyway, after all my talk of toffee pops, I hadn't any with me at the show, so Liam, dont worry, I'll be bringin a full picnic off stuff for the run in Monard this year!!!

Will hold you to that Alice, and I know Coxy is now interested in the "Toffee Pops" also, whatever meaning you might take out of it
No way, was this a real Gullwing?! One of my ultimate favourites, anyone know the owner and if he/she is in need of another kidney...drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, maahuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, drool, drool...
I only got to drive 1 300 SL Gullwing in my younger days and it felt a bit heavy around town and to about 60 mph. All hell broke loose when you stabbed it at 60 though, totally different car, it felt light on it's feet and the steering was nimble. It was one of my favorite high speed touring cars, and what a lovely engine note at full stride. Huge sills though but once inside very snug.
looked the proper job to me. I'd donate your kidney for it too Padraig
Great pic, seems a bit surreal the way its boxed in by the commercial vans :lol2:
It was an absolute stunner. It would look rather tasty beside your 356
That's funny, I was thinking the same thing
Alhough, I'd probably move the wife and kids to the garage and keep the SL in the house...I'd give anything to get a chance to test drive one of these. I've read that they're a bit of a handful alright due to vague suspension but that they come alive if you push it on a bit. I think I'd be happy just to sit there looking at it all day..!
There's a red one around Galway (that I haven't spotted out yet) but I expected that it was the only one in the country - it's amazing what is tucked away in private garages around this country. There's a genuine Porsche 550 Spyder in West Cork, bit dusty but its all there...

I wonder if this gullwing owner needs a wife?
:rofl::lol2:

Maybe "she" does need a wife, it's 2009 anything goes !!!

Right, I think in that case I'll retract the original comment :nerves: :lol2::lol2::lol2:
Hey, take a chance! You never know, you might like it And then you'll have a nice new friend AND a Gullwing

You've got what seems like a fair point in the male mind, hehe, but this time i think I'll pass. Times aren't bad that I'd consider battin for the other team
