Fancy a 10-minute spin in an old VHS?

When the jam jar was king?

This is 30 years old and was shot on a Saturday afternoon in Dublin city in late March 1991.

There have been less changes in some areas than I expected; the most noticeable being Parnell Street near today’s ILAC Centre.

Name those jammers, anyone?

    Very nice, thanks for sharing – CIE Buses in green are nice and it appears back then people actually used their indicators, well many of them did.

    Me oul da had a red Carina II Liftback with the little spoiler like that one in the screengrab. A forgotten vaguely sporty-looking Toyota for men who would probably have preferred a Celica or MR2 but needed to transport kids.

    Wild ride.

    I counted only 2 bicycles in the entire video. Crazy.

    Looks like jaywalking has been part of Dublin since the vikings.

    amazing how fast you could get through dublin city compared to now.

    so many parked cars. cineworld on parnells street was a massive car park.much nice walking around nassau street, and beside stephens green with traffic restrictions.

    For all you petrolheads:

    You may be interested in this excellent Netflix docu-series – if you haven’t seen it already – Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

    Three seasons of Man-Spreading entertainment.

    But, it’s much more than that.

    I would recommend to all – even cyclists.

    Thanks Paulus, I enjoyed that. The cars were so boxy back then. Nice to be reminded of the ole Kylemore bakery opposite Trinners and Judge Roy Beans a few doors up. Nachos Grandes to die for.

    That was very interesting but, to me, sad. Seeing the middle of Dublin whilst I am in lockdown in England. I was last in Ireland in December 2019 and miss it so much.

    Thanks for sharing, it’s lovely to see Dublin as it was around the time I left it. I can’t believe the mess the Corpo have made of the place now :-(
