Welcome to The Engine Block, a car enthusiast's paradise located in Dublin, Ireland. This place, my friends, used to be a meat factory. Can you believe it? But these guys had a vision, a vision to turn this meaty mess into Ireland's first car club. And let me tell you, they've done a bloody good job.
When they first walked in, the place was still functioning. The workshop on the left, the boning room on the right, and a whole lot of blood everywhere. Yes, you heard me right, blood. This place was a freezer, every room colder than my ex-wife's heart. But they didn't let that stop them. They suited up in gowns, wore beard masks, and took on the challenge.
Now, let's talk about the cars. Oh, the cars! The Engine Block is not just a car club, it's a dealership too. And they only sell cars that they love, cars with character. Take a look at that Toyota Celica GT-Four, a true classic. And what about that MG Metro 6R4 replica? It's a showstopper, my friends. But let me tell you, the real gem here is the Ferrari 348. This beauty had a little adventure on its way back from Spain, with a faulty alternator and a whole lot of batteries. But they made it, and now it's up for grabs.
The team at The Engine Block is passionate about cars, and they've created a space where car enthusiasts can come together, buy and sell their dream machines, and share their love for all things automotive. It's a place where you can find everything from engine builds to interior trims, all under one roof. And let's not forget the art gallery they've teamed up with, showcasing some amazing automotive art.
So, if you're in Dublin and you're a car lover, you have to check out The Engine Block. It's a car club, a dealership, and a whole lot of bloody fun. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
