Driving in Dublin 1976

Post by mikmik » Thu Dec 22, 2011 9:56 pm

Great video showing a trip through Dublin city centre, 1976

At least one Marina there ( on Dame Street for those who know the place), a yellow MKI

Whats really amazing is how he gets from College Green to Parnell Street in under 4 minutes. It'd take half an hour now.

Enjoy...

There was a Flux capacitor down the road from me last weekend!
DMC12 broken down at Washington Round a about fully kitted out in back to the future film stuff :D
IT was not going back or forward in time and not even forward or back up the road :lol:
It did make the local paper though.
