This week we are going back thirty-four years to 1991 and to MB 11 on route 201 at The Square in Tallaght.
Tallaght gained three local routes in the late-1980s, numbered T01, T02 and T03. These routes served the various housing estates around Tallaght. and also started serving The Square shopping centre when it opened in 1990. Around that time the routes were also renumbered 201, 202 and 203. The 201 connected Killinarden and Kilnamanagh. In the 1990s it had a few changes, moving its western terminus to Jobstown, and its eastern terminus to Aylesbury and later to Kiltipper. In the early-2000s it started operating between Citywest and Bohernabreena, and this was its final form until the route was withdrawn around 2009.
MB 11 was one of fifteen MB Class minibuses delivered to Dublin Bus between 1987 and 1989. They were predominately used on the local routes around Tallaght and elsewhere in the city, under the Localink brand. All members of the class were withdrawn by 1994, with MB 8 passing to Bus Eireann.

This week we are going back twenty-seven years to 1996 and MA 3 at Blanchardstown Shopping Centre on route 237. This was a local route that connected the surrounding Blanchardstown area to the shopping centre. It started in October 1996 (along with the 238 and 239 when the shopping centre opened) and ran on a loop via Castleknock and Coolmine. The route was withdrawn in October 2010 under Network Direct. Its only change in all of that time was when the terminus within the Blanchardstown Centre was moved in 2006. The bus is seen here at the original terminus. The route was eventually replaced by route 37 between Castleknock and the Blanchardstown Centre.
MA 3 was new to Dublin Bus in 1993 and was withdrawn in 2001. It was initially allocated to City Imp route 120, but did also appear on the Blanchardstown local routes when they started.

This was one of those shots I had hoped to go back and try again. I guess not now!
(Walt Disney World -- Epcot -- Maelstrom)
Thanks for stopping by!
My older cousin Kevin (he got me involved in this whole graphic design thing back in 7th grade) happened to send me this photo a few days ago. At first I could not place where this was taken then i remembered it was on our family trip down to Disney World in the mid 80s. I'm guessing I was 6 or 8? Mom if you are watching can you email me with the year if you know?
Check out that camera! I can't think of the name of the type of film it took; it was the kind that had the two round pieces at the end connected by a little thin flat piece? I'm sure we all had a camera like that when we were kids. Well, the film on this trip is one of the 5 rolls of film i've ever taken that I don't have a clue what happened to. I don't recall ever seeing the prints.
facts about the trip:
• there were about 10 or 12 of us in the white conversion van making the trip from ohio to florida
• I peed in the van during my sleep - i think only my aunt wilma knew (kevin's mom)
• i ate my first fudruckers burger. mmmm
• I bought the sweetest ninja sword ever at the japanese village
• i rode the michael jackson ride
• I was in love with whitney houston at the time. every 5 minutes "i wanna dance with somebody" would come on the radio. Imagine the amount of teasing you get when you are the shy, youngest kid in a van with all of your family.
Yeah.. this was for Lazy Sunday and I was REALLY lazy. I forgot to do much but put it out. It's still discounted for a few days. Main lantern. XD
Moving with his family from Oakland, CA Robert Spray settled in Tucson, AZ where he established a silkscreen shop. He began painting portraits as a student which led to a scholarship at the CCAC. During the 1930s he was employed on the Federal Art Project. Screen printer Robert Spray beautifully captured Ted DeGrazia’s artistic style and color palette in this series of prints he produced for the DeGrazia Studios in the early 1950’s. Happy Throwback Thursday!
A very limited number of these unsigned and unnumbered screen prints are available for purchase in our gift shop at the Gallery in the Sun, $175.00 (unframed) or $250.00 (framed).
This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
or #Transformation! lol
I'm totally digging that that reused the orignal color scheme as the original Bubbling Mermaid. <3
I borrowed AquaticUndine's photo for this comparison! If you wish for me to take it down I will!
This week we are going back thirty years to 1995 and to P 39 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 10 to UCD Belfield.
Buses started operating on route 10 between the Phoenix Park and Donnybrook in 1940. In 1970 the route reached the Belfield campus of University College Dublin (UCD). Network Direct saw the end of the route in 2010. It was replaced on the southside by route 39A, and on the northside by route 46A.
P 39 was new to Dublin Bus in 1993. It was one of the early CitySwift buses, with the first batch arriving in 1992. It was withdrawn in 2003, and joined the Bus Eireann school fleet in Limerick. It was withdrawn around 2014.
Although P 39 was a CitySwift bus, route 10 was not a CitySwift route.

Summer, Barbie and Teresa
The girls accompany Barbie while she goes out to look for the perfect outfit for her date with Ken.
Barbie === I was thinking something blue with a dash of sparkle.
Teresa === Why not red instead. It signifies confidence and fearless.
Summer === I don't understand why you're disregarding your signature color.
Barbie === Hello Summer, it's our anniversary. I want it to be extra special.
Summer === I don't know Barbie. Pink always saves the day for you.
Teresa === I agree. I think you should go with pink. Add a dash of sparkle to that.
Barbie === Thanks girls. If you both insist then I'll go with pink.
Summer === So where is he taking you?
Teresa === Oh my gosh! Is he taking you to the Cheesecake Factory?
Barbie === Hehe no. He's taking me to this new place in town called "The Bistro."
Teresa === Oooooh fancy.
Summer === Well let's not wait any longer. Your perfect pink outfit awaits!!!
