Morning! There’s a 50% chance you’re reading this in the morning so I went with it. There’s also a 50% chance it’s currently the evening, but sure look, we both can’t be right. Although, there’s a 10% chance you’re dossing off during your working day and scrolling through our website. “That’s 110%,” you say. Well, that’s because we don’t believe in 100%, we only give 110. But, well done on your adding up skills, you’re a credit to your maths teacher and I can see why your employer keeps you around. How did we get on at our awards ceremony? How did we get on at our awards ceremony indeed. Suite ..read more

I suppose it’s been a while. But you’ve been busy, the guys have been busy, I’ve been topping up my tan. Things just get in the way you know? Ladies and gentlemen, we’re back! Well, the country is almost back… give or take a few restrictions here and there. But we’re fully jabbed and back planning all the things we can do. I actually had a carvery earlier, inside as well. Imagine! Inside dining is the future, you heard it here first. Speaking of Ladies and Gentlemen, there’s a Twitter page that sends out the exact same tweet every Friday. It’s a tweet of Daniel Craig simply saying “Ladies and ..read more

Come in, come in. Take a seat there and relax for yourself, I’m sure you’ve had a hard day of not doing a tap as usual. You may be wondering why I’ve gathered you all here today, or maybe not. Some of you probably don’t even know what day it is – lockdown will do that to you I suppose. While we’ve never claimed to know everything about cars (even though we absolutely do), we thought it might be nice if we passed on some of our wisdom and general insights on the world of classic cars to you, and in particular, which cars look like they will increase in value in the coming years. “How did you co ..read more

Classic Cars in Ireland 2021, the expert view. Nice title isn't it? Simple, yet effective. Salut mes amis! Ca va? Ca va. Guess who’s been watching Lupin? Only the whole country Sharon. How’s that Leaving Cert French holding up for you eh? Oh me? No, I did honours level so I turned the subtitles off. It’s good practice for when we’ll be able to safely travel abroad again. In 2025. So here we are. Me in my padded leather reclining office chair with matching footstool, and you at your kitchen table dossing off from work as per. If you’ve managed to wait until your working day is over to read this ..read more

You made it! C'mere, I must show you the work I’ve done on the roof. This way, it’s upstairs. Can I just say something to start? Don’t worry, I actually have a solid track record of saying something good to be fair. Take the last event I was at, for example, I only said one word and they told me it meant a lot. All I had to say was ‘Plethora’. It’s just a little thing that’s been niggling at me every time I see someone talk about MG cars, or when I see one advertised for sale. STOP MIXING UP THE MAKE AND MODEL. Iz no that hard people! MG is the make, B is the model. So it’s not an MG MGB, MB G ..read more

Come in, come in! Can I take your jacket? Tea? Coffee? Actually, there’s no time for that, just make yourself at home there while I gather my notes. There’s water in the tap. We have much to discuss my dear palaminos, muchos to discusso. Where to begin though? The start is probably as good a place as any I guess. I have one word for you – “The New Normal”. No, sorry, I mixed up the pages there. I have three words for you – “Staycation”. Have you guessed where I’m going with this yet? If not, may I direct you to your local second hand bookshop where you can find a copy of my last book “Feet Up ..read more

Alright Pals and Palamenos, you’re in lockdown and probably fed up with all the Espresso Quarantinis you’ve been having and need something different to do. Well throw on your finest old clothes (or at least get dressed in case the postman passes), cause we’re about to learn you some things. No we’re not telling you how we do what we do, that’s our thing and it’s a secret. Instead, we’ll teach you how to make your classic car look as good as we make ours. I know right? Exciting. Sadly we’re not getting paid for endorsing any products, but that just means we’ll tell you the right things to order ..read more

What day is it? Quarantine is such a strange time… I’ve started making a “Where’s Wally” audiobook: Dog. Guy in top hat. Gymnast. Guy in red/white striped shirt (not Wally). Surfer dude. Wally. Cat. To be honest, I needed something to do after I gave up reading in Braille. I realised I couldn’t handle the constant feeling that something terrible was about to happen when I was reading a horror book. I suppose now that the country is pretty much shut down, we can focus on some of our own car projects that we’ve left idle for a while. (There’s one car pun, whip out the calculator Pal Pacino to ke ..read more

Well, well, well. Here we are – February 2020. I had started writing a “2019 year in review”, but to be honest that was too much like hard work so I just left it off for a while and now it seems like I’ve gotten away with it. Kinda like when your teacher forgets to ask for last night’s homework, the same homework that you completely ignored because the Angelus was on. And sure then it was Reeling in the Years… “Jesus, if there was work on the bed he’d probably sleep on the floor”, says you. Just to note that there’ll be absolutely zero “twenty-twenty vision” jokes, we’re above all those and ha ..read more

Unlike many young birds that get kicked out of the nest by their mother, this year actually flew! Here we are now in late November. Wow… feels strange just saying late November, mainly because I’m not saying it, I’m typing it, but also because I’m doing this early in the morning. But sure you know what they say. Many people dislike the cold weather; the bleak and dreary days, the lack of a real tan, and possibly the worst - having to wear gloves to hold your iced coffee. But dear pals, there is an upside. Or as they say in France “every cloud has a silver lining”. If I keep the heating off in ..read more
