ME AND MY MOTOR- SHAUN MCGONIGLE

Part of my week is spent going out and about in the peninsula finding people with cars that they love. The questionnaire and pictures are then printed in the Inish Times. Here is an example from Shaun McGonigle.

Shaun McGonagle from Greencastle is in the motoring spotlight this week. Shaun is a well know figure in the world of modified cars and as well as working in the modified car business he organised the extremely successful Port ‘N’ Polish venue last year, which was Inishowens first modified car event. Shaun’s Mitsubishi is also a celebrity, having appeared in Modified Motor magazines and winning first prize at the Modified Motor show a few months ago.

Name : Shaun McGonagle.

Address: Greencastle

Car: Mitsubishi Eclipse

How long have you had the car?

Two years and in that time I have gradually modified the car sourcing body parts from as far away as Australia

Any plans to change?

Yes. It’s time to start a new project so I have it up for sale. I spent over €22,000 on the car to get it to the standard it is now. I will sell it for €13,750 (Anyone interested can contact Shaun on 086 100 1781)

Is it reliable?

Very.

Best thing about the car?

The 1800 amp sound system comes close but I would have to say the flush bodywork. If you notice there are no doorhandles. It is accessed remotely.

How often do you wash it?

It never gets dirty!!

If you were the minister for finance what would you do to help motorists?

A custom built track where cars can be pushed to their limit in safety.

Any modifications to the car?

Everything! The only part of the car that hasn’t been modified in some way is the glass. There are too many to list here but if anyone is interested I have a full written report.
What would you really like to be driving around in?A Nissan Skyline GTR. I think they are one of the best engineered cars on the road.

Motoring.
