Blanchardstown (again!), June 16, another 2 spotted

Postby CJ » Thu Jun 16, 2005 9:14 pm

Steel silver spotted at the roundabout on the Snugboro Road in Blanch @ 8pm, waved but got blank stare :?. 8.45pm, spotted another steel silver coming off the roundabout near the Blanch centre on the Blanch Road South heading towards Whitestown.

3 in one day in the same area, who said FTOs weren't that common!

My point exactly :D :D with the shear amount i saw when in england for too weeks they are becoming very popular, that said i have been informed there are alot of bad examples making their way to england at the moment anything from 94-96 that are coming over now are supposed to be very suspect (something to do with the owners in japan geting rid of them because of some 10 year test which they can't pass) how true this is i'm not sure but how many ftos do you see for sale in england nowadays.

Found 200 for sale in the autotrader (english) and thats only because it would only let me look for 200 results.

They may be pretty common in the UK now but I'd be confident that insurance costs prevent them becoming too common in Ireland. Of course there are more on the roads now than a few years back but I doubt it will ever be the same as the UK....

Exactly - the FTO is still something of an under-rated/unknown quantity ;) Everyone knows scoobys, glanzas and Evo's - only the very clever people know the FTO....



shane hides now...
