[dem maser]

thats interesting frank, wonder why ireland is not on the motoring map??

what other countries with your population make cars?? im sure there are some......

 

[Parisien]

Germany/UK/Italy.......need big pops......big money......big industries to make the grade.....not sure how big a country has to be to have an indigenous car industry......Spain pop of 30 million, but then owned for years by Italians and now Germans

[dem maser]

spain have a bigger pop than 30 mill??

i mean greece is 15m.......germany must be same as england.........

i was thinking more the czechs, they have done it and so have sweden, they all roughly irelands pop aint they??

 

[Parisien]

Thats because of the lawlessness Frank , as long as i can remember and ive been told car joy riding is on the school curriculum and is a compulsory subject with a priority higher than English language , so not surprising those youg lads have had a lot of getaway practice hahahahah


Re the great movie , just love that car trying to overtake is beeping his horn heheheh , they must have been great times

You're confusing the rural small towns with the wild west of Belfast......outside of, endless small garages and enthusiasts Loz.....and currently backed by works money and cars.....

.....that was just a cover to import cocaine by the ton Ian..........

I thought the coke was on the options list; you had to be smacked out of your head just to drive it.

 

[dem maser]

It was used in one of the worlds biggest films though.....

I saw a DeLorean on the A127 near me 3 Sundays ago.... I thought they were about 10 years behind the times when they were launched: Masive baloon tyres, double wedge with the ends lopped off but with the wounds untreated... looked ghastly. The brushed stainless was always pretty cool though; ideal for cutting your cocaine on!

Newton.....Newton....please bear in mind......this was built for the USA market..........ok.....clear........not Belfasts fault.......Renault V6........engine and running gear(?)........certainly not aimed at those with any taste, knowledge or aspirations.....

The Government were throwing money at any idea to manufacture,,, not just in N.I. but Wales as well... See some of the tin boxes that sprang up around the Heads of the Valleys road area only to be pulled down in the 90's and 00's
