The big dual-er! I remember this road being a two way back in the 70's, used to go from Dalkey to school in Stillorgan in a car pool with loads of kids in one car on the two way road, always seemed like heading way on holidays!! As 5/6/7 year old kids we used to sing in the car as radios in cars were few and far between then! Great footage man
takeadrive my cousin found the VHS tape last year when she was moving, I barely remember us doing this and don't remember why, when I posted it on Facebook it got over 20,000 views!
I grew up on Leopardstown Drive so this is all very familiar, nice one on filming and uploading it on here.

Amazing memories come flooding back.

No traffic ..
no speed vans ..
no bus lanes
In fairness I think it was a Sunday 🙂
I really enjoyed this, thank you Paul.
That's the UCD bridge at the start, right?
Not sure driving standards have got worse or better since. Forgot we have distance signs in km back then. But with speed limits in mph.
Road looks much the same today though all built up around it.
Tail gating.. under taking.. driving through a red traffic light....nothing changed
i just cannot see the street lights properly
if you pull up my account there are a few more but I don't think we got that stretch
Where's the turn off for the M50 ?.......oh wait.....1986.... :)
