Looks very well indeed from that angle. I don't like the alloys though. They look like BMW alloys

Definitely, as with the rear lights, very similar. Although BMW's new 414bhp V8 doesn't seem too original.

Is it sold to an Irish person or at least do they live here?

I heard that it's the guy who owns Cash and Carry Kitchens who bought the Veyron, but that may have been someone flying a kite!

That's strange I heard it was the guy who had ORM Kitchens in Castlemartyr but is now in Meath.

Apperently it was sold to Willie Stroker.....

Saw this beauty on my way into work on Sat. It was sparkling!!!








And this calamity provided the entertainment on the journey home today. Count how many badges at has!

On the left; a '12V', 'porscher' and of course 'Micra' (look closely you can see where somebody just hacked off the original "March" badge)

On the right: 'GTi' and 'E200'
And the compulsory OTT chrome trims!!!!





Beautiful!!!!

Plug

Good pics mcauley, had to laugh at the March micra porsher 12v GTI E200 though, I reckon its a tad bit quicker than the RS4 IMO.

Holsten

That Rs4... WoW!

Perfect colour too! I want!

Dwilly

Daytona also rather lovely.

Dwilly

I saw a one of those car van type things today with a black bonnet a la supra/civic/lancer. What's that about?

Am I missing something there?

One of the greatest rally drivers of the 70s.

antodeco

On top of all that, his reg has that curvy italic writing on it, to add to the class of it! Plus blue furry dice and a liverpool jersey on the driver!

QUITE the eye there!!!!

Lets not forget the fact that its a sickly shade of turquoise!

I just laughed when I saw the old pair in the front of it. A very weird moment overall.

fletch

And I see parking distance sensors....those Micras can be awful tricky to park alright!

Are you sure that Porscher is not Irmscher on the back of the Micra March E200 GTi?

Looks like an Irmscher badge anyway - who are they? well, funnily enough they are a German tuning company specialising in Opel/Vaux, so I can see the attraction of wanting their name on a Nissan Micra March E200 GTi

Except for the customary front left scuffed 'parking' alloy

No excuses for letting that happen, particularly on such a lovely car!

Gatster

Not exotic, but truly bizarre...

C_Breeze

That micra is ridiculous. What makes somebody put those badges onto the car ???? Have they no shame? it is truly mind boggling!

Whats more the micra is a 16V ...and the badge is 12V! ...sigh ...some people eh?!

Yeah that's what I thought. He probably stole the badge from a skanged up '96 Corsa

At first I thought it said "Boxster". I have the original photo, I cant completely make it out, but the first letters were definitely "p-o-r"

It makes no sense no matter WHAT is says really

Yeah probably also stolen from a Corsa 1.0l 3 pot 12V

He didn't. He drove a March F1 car, but the event resulted in a certain amount of soul-searching in motor racing.

Indeed. Thankfully F1 is much safer now than it was back then

some random sightings...

watchinpaintdry

I've seen this about a good bit recently...

There's a black Porsche Boxster around Baggot Street/Pembroke Road and it has 'HYUNDAI' on the rear bumber in raised chrome lettering. What would that be all about?

Maybe the owner is a small time Hyundai dealer? This Bentley belongs to a big time Hyundai dealer :eek:

Yeah I've seen that PorscheHyundai before. Story with that?
