A White M5 Hartge........

redman · 01-05-2006 10:12pm

and why not an Alfa?;)

junkyard · 01-05-2006 10:34pm

Did someone say Alfa????? redman, if I was a mod you'd be banned.:D Gatster, I drove a Quattroporte in Italy last year and the only thing I think of when I think of Italian cars is two Italian blokes fighting about curves and the image of the car in general and f**k everything else, so no I don't do Italian cars. That goes for Ferrari's too Squirrel. Nice selection of cars there Justin, nice prices too.;)
A white M5 is too bling for me rabbitinlights and anyway I don't have any gold jewelery to go with it.:)

Being able to say I don't do Ferrari's, now that is just sweet. Now I'd be really jealous if I hadn't just got the best news I've had in a long long time.

A Honda NSX, check British websites because they usually have a few.

What about a Brabus E, they seem to tune alot of cars in your favourite colour.

Gatster · 01-05-2006 11:03pm

I drove a Quattroporte in Italy last year

In fairness my Dad's friend (in the Uk) bought a Quattroporte three weeks ago, it was delivered on a Thursday and by the following Friday he'd sent it back, don't know why at this stage, maybe he feels the same as you! I think he's bought a Flying Spur, he wanted four doors as he's already got an SL500, and coincidentally, an X5.

junkyard · 01-05-2006 11:15pm

Merc's aren't what they used to be so not for me either Fabritzo. I like the idea of a Bentley but having seen the very new ones, no, I really don't like Volkswagen's anymore. The Aston is the only British built car I would consider, I had my share of Range Rovers and Jags and they too fell apart.

TCP/IP · 02-05-2006 12:12am

I have driven both the new M5 and M6 and the M5 wins hands down infact i would do as far as saying that the M6 is a horrible ride with a terrible gearbox just my opinion. I would take the Audi anyday it has a bit of class the BMW's are just common

colm_mcm · 02-05-2006 12:15am

I've never driven the M6. just the 645. beautiful noise!

drdre · 06-05-2006 12:34am

i have driven the m5 in the uk,i have to say they are amazing cars and also have great power.the m6 looks nice but is more expensive and is not practical.

in uk the m5 is only around 55-60k second hand.AFAIK.

Seth Brundle · 06-05-2006 12:33pm

Sure it is only £63k new over there

optiplexgx270 · 06-05-2006 4:30pm

Saw the first M6 today in the dump of all places

And meh not that impressed although I did like the maroon colour a lot. But I guess seeing DB9's, 911,s cl600's, f460,f355, f430 spider and the odd hummer etc in the office building car park in work sort of has me immunized

But i agree M5/M6 is a tought one but i think if it was me id go with the M5 and throw 20K of toys in her.

Oh one other thought what do you think of the CLS55 AMG??

ciarsd · 06-05-2006 8:40pm

M5 for Ireland - no question.

Read what you wrote this morning and its being bugging me all day. Dont want to come across as a holy joe but could not help thinking that you could have bought an old reliable volvo 740 or 940 estate and with the money saved you could have donated and saved a couple of hundred kids from starving to death in africa.

And i dont think the dogs would have noticed the difference.

But i am no holy joe as i said but that was in my head today.

where the hell do you work, to see all those cars:D

optiplexgx270 · 06-05-2006 11:42pm

I couldnt understand it myself until i found out that an exotic cars head office is in the building and well looks like the car park is used as his forecourt

Thats where i saw the RS2 last week/week before. You would cry some days cos the building is still under construction and well when you see "Wash Me" written on the bonnet of a 06 DB9 or f460.

Edit: It's an underground car park hense the really thick dust from time to time.

Unbelievable. Please tell us what percentage of your income and time you donate to the starving children in Africa that enables you be so judgemental of how other people spend their well earned. You could sell your car and feed a couple of hundred - or are you not prepared to do that? BTW: Charity has nothing to do with holiness - if it was the Vatican would not be one of the richest states in the world.

Supposing Junkyard donates 1000000 per year? Or spends 50% of his time doing volunteer work? Or doesn't believe in having 50% of his donation wasted on elaborate distribution, management or staffing overheads that most charities bring? Or chooses not to give one penny? Either way, who are you to judge?

This is a motoring forum. Cars are, comparatively speaking, the most expensive luxury we buy. Nobody strictly needs a car. You could walk, or take public transport, or ride a bike, or build a go cart. If you feel that because somebody can afford an expensive car that they are morally obligated to take that money and feed somebody else then you have an awful lot of preaching to do because to a starving child in Africa, a €100 Peugeot 404 is a very expensive car.

Sorry to get way off topic OP but i think the CLS is a great looking car and with the same block as the SL55 AMG sweet ride but a wee bit pricier.

so you work in sandyford.

i used to work in 123.ie awhile ago.but descullen was not there at that time.
are descullen opening there own showroom soon or are they staying in the beacon court.

AJ! · 07-05-2006 12:29am

I was in Sandyford yesterday and there was an F430 Spider, 360 Spider, DB9 and a V8 Vantage - it's just a normal day in that car park. As far as I know they won't be opening a showroom anytime soon. It would make sense for them to stay in The Beacon because the way they are operating is that people can only look at the cars by appointment anyway. If they had a showroom people would just be walking in and out of it all day. If you are serious about buying a Ferrari or Aston from them make an appointment, otherwise they're not interested.

I used to work there too... OMG the cars. Walking through that carpark was like porn... :eek:

A Veyron, Not a chance.

Owen · 08-05-2006 10:57pm

As probably the only person here who has driven both extensively, I'd go with the M5. The M6 is a wonderous vehicle, and looks stunning, but there's something unassuming about the M5. To the unsuspecting public, it's a 5 series saloon, but to those that know, there's no need to show.

And if you want one, I'll sell you one :-)
