Some fantastic pictures Andy...

Am I right in saying some of the pictures outside UCC and also in city hall car park?

Both Cars look fantastic. Did you travel to the UK to purchase or have you both got them long?

Fantastic!!! Really hope I get to see them in person

They seem in great condition! You must have been looking around for a while? Have you any history on the cars - Restored / mods / etc. I can't wait to see the pictures from inside!

Good luck with them lads... Are you coming to the St Paddy's Day outing in Waterford!

Found them both on pistonheads, I have all of the history with mine, she's pretty standrad. Rory's is a Wood and Pickett cared for mini, with a stage 3 i think, his interior is savage too.

Unfortunately I have 2 weeks of college left EVER and just to put things in perspective i'm in college at the mo, so I wont be able to make the parade but anything closer to home i should be there
