Our friend Jimmy tracks down an RPS13/180SX which he has tried to own for nearly fifteen years.
This time two years ago, we had just ripped the Trueno apart to send the shell down for sandblasting. The 86 was being brought down to Ace Motor Factors in Newbawn co Wexford. We brought it down on a Saturday’s it was going to get blasted on a Tuesday morning. I ensured to get that day off of work to document the entire process; this was something I didn’t want to miss.
With so much going on with the vlogs, I sometimes forget to take bust out the camera and try to document whats going on.
Another Blog post about MR X! As we mentioned in a previous post I always come armed with a charged camera and a pocket full of cash. This place is always full of surprised and someday we will look back on guys like this and think about how crazy it was that he could import these cars from the other side of the world and dismantle these cars to save others.
I must admit it was such a nice feeling being handed the keys to a freshly imported ae86. The fact I was going to have this car for the next four days was exciting. Up until this weekend, I had never actually driven an 86 for longer than a couple of hours. As you might have remembered from the last vlog, Dave threw me the keys while he stood there in full Nicholas cage attire.
Let’s kick things off again with part two of last years BBQ. Like I said in the previous post, we cram as many images as we can into these articles, mainly because the quality of cars that attend the BBQ is truly incredible. We want to show as much of what made it to the event as we can. It’s always a reminder of the thriving Irish car scene.
We are gifted an AE86 for the weekend and we rebuild the gearbox in the Trueno.
So many of you have just watched our recent video about our BBQ from last year. Here are some of the photos we somehow managed to get while putting together the event.
