Irish Lambo's

Volcano

Is there any? Wasn't there a gallardo spotted in dublin a while back? What about any other's? Any Murci's, Diablo's (what kinds), Countach (what ones?) etc. There seem to be very few and waaaay outnumbered by the likes of ferrari?

Theres a Diablo in Co Galway but it rarely comes out to play. Was the Countach used in the lotto had a few yeares ago real or a kit? its got a Co Wexford reg.

Countach used in the Lotto Ad is an irish car, most recently in Lawfords in Harolds Cross. There was also a Countach owned by a guy in Callan, Co.Kilkenny a good few years back, could have been the same car, I'm not sure.

I saw the black gallardo (04-d I think) out near the airport about 6 months ago.

Black Gallardo - 04 reg
Blue Gallardo Spider - 06 reg
Orange Gallardo - 04 reg owned by the editor of VIP mag
Orange Daiblo 6.0 VT - 01 reg but on northern plates, owned by Jim Haughey - 22yo son of Edward Haughey
Reg Countach - somewhere in Killiney or Dalkey, I think one of the U2 boys
Green Countach - don't know where it is now, a friend of mine's uncle owned it

That's all I can think of...

I spotted the blue spider last week on the N11 in wicklow. I've also seen the Orange gallardo and the Orange Diablo around dublin. (not many cars can get away with orange, but it suits Lambos).

Havent seen a Countach other than at car shows

So no Murcielago's then?

smash

only the blue 40th Aniversary one that got shipped to spain, was on uk plates though...

Theres a yellow diablo down one of the lanes between Baggot street and Fitzwiliam square. Used to see it going down leeson street around 2000-2003 when I was in the area.

Theres one in Sligo too next door to a mate but not sure what kind.

Seen a purple diablo going west on the way home from westport to dub, I just dont think the new ones are in the same calibre. Amazing looking machine.

Anybody know what these guys run there cars on. They should be run on 98 Octane which, AFAIK, can't be got in this country.

I emailed Maxol/Esturary, Statoil and Texaco last week about 97 Octane fuel. Only Maxol/Estuary had the courtesy to get back to me. Unfortunately they don't do it anymore in the Republic, but have a few in NI.

How seriously compromised are these cars having to drink poxy 95 octane fuel?

Not that they'd be slow, but if it says on the tin 98, then 95 can't be good.

I don't know, I like the Gallardo and the Murcielago but IMO the late Diablos, the 6.0 VT and the 6.0 SE are the nicest supercars/hypers ever produced!
