I even caught the M1 express coach from Dublin to Belfast, and then got a taxi to the Titanic exhibition and didn’t see one even on the two hour journey up there or the two hour journey back

Spot on ^^^^^

We have relatives in Ireland and take the Zed over to Galway every couple of years and they are very rare over there and it always gets a lot of attention.

As said they cost a fortune to tax there, €570 a year for the cdti.

Insurance is also very expensive compared to the UK.

I havent been, even though I work more or less across the road from it My car would be parked in the Odyssey car park (although it is called SSE Arena now). And in that car park, I can only recall ever seeing a couple of 75s in it over the last 5 years. (I like it that way lol, always tried to be a little different with my cars).

I hope you got a fry here (an Ulster Fry, in Belfast, not one of those woosey Irish frys lol)

Mickey, your trouble was blurred vision from too much Guinness.

I might have to sample one of those fry ups in August when we are over there.
