Just having come back from Ireland visiting family, usually a v regular thing, im used to the common site of Toyota Corolla's, Honda Civic's and general tit-tat that gets modded over the Irish Sea BUT i came across this after an in-law told me it was parked up in the local Alloy Wheel store...
I got chatting to the owner whose had it for a year or so now and has a few plans with it but what with things being damn expensive over there (750euro just to convert over to Irish plates) it'll be a while yet for him :sad2:
Needless to say i told him of RTOC so i hope to see him on here and soon.

if you own a car for longer than twelve months and have it insured longer than twelve months in england and then take it to ireland and have it re registered you do not have to pay any duty on the car;)
