The Howth museum is very close to my house. Let me know if your coming over to visit.

It closed up a few years back - a victim of the site being too valuable; remember those days.

There's one Kilgarvan Co Kerry, jackie healy rae land, mostly cars though. He has an old M20 and a 70's electra glide. Highlight for me is the Borgward Isabella.

The Kilgarvan (Kerry) one is worth a call - continuing South on the road it is on is also highly recommended.

I frequently pass An Dun & it has a very closed look about it but I have never stopped to check it out.

The others are foregin to me but Beaulieu house is not far from my parents place - I might give it a call one of these years.
