Default Hello from Ireland! ;)

Hi Guys,

Been on this forum for a few years now with my '76 C3, but just a quick howdy to all you good C4er's!

Purchased a beautiful 1986 C4 from Steve (jrriflecoach) here on the forums and shipped her across the wild Atlantic seas here to little 'aul Ireland.

Here's a few pics on her new newly adopted Irish roads

Are LT1 cars harder to import to other countries? It seems like every C4 I see overseas is a L98

I came close to buying that car. She is a beauty and extremely well cared for.
Have a drop of this to celebrate!

I miss that car.

Just took a road trip in BlRoze using all two lane secondary roads. I can easily say, I can pass anytime I want. Gets 26MPG and is comfortable for wifey. There's just something about a C4, that a C5 can't satisfy.

Sweet!! Love C4's..

I'm in Ayrshire, Scotland, btw.. Hope you have the same kind of good driving roads as I do!

My favourite at the minute is the A77 (our own Highway #1) down the coast to Portpatrick, roof off in the wind in my '87.
