    Too be honest I did'nt get the chance to have a good look, what struck me was how black it was (EU related business I suspect)! Completely impractical vehicle mind you, if two ever met on a country lane they'd be f*cked! :D

    I'd buy one myself, but seeing as you seen one, now they're just too common for me.

    You know, I seen a black Maybach about a month ago in Waterford too. It had a UK reg, it's most likely the same one. It was ridiculously big, and was been very badly driven!

    Carrick is in South Tipp (thank gawd!) but close enough, maybe its owned by Lord Waterford who has his gaff in Curraghmore, Portlaw...

    I think he's got a Bentley Continental GT, I cancelled my order when I heard he got one. I'm surprised he didn't get a Maybach though, he could fit a few more closets in there to hide in.

    Yeah, I heard that Louis had a Bentley alright. Doesn't that Simon whathisname from the English pop idol have a maybach or was ordering one. Seem to remember him being interviewed on Top Gear a while back .

    Expensive alright, a set of mats is around 1,000 eurons, bonnet about 3k even simple things like the bonnet star are about 300 iirc. It's been a while since I looked at the price list I'll check it tomorrow for more accurate prices if you like... I was in one of Manchester Utds head mens maybach I forget his name but he was in the news at the time... They are bringing out a smaller wheelbase Maybach for the wife too, or so I hear.

    Not much emphasis on the Maybach anymore tis all about the SLR these days which isn't.

    There was a Continental GT (black/dark grey) behind me this morning, on merrion road; it went towards Stephens Green area. The rich kid behind the wheel was reading something with his foot on the throttle of a 550 bhp engine! Well, am sure he wouldn’t have any trouble replacing my humble bangor if he had to!
