I got speaking to the owner of the Irish F50 recently. He's invited me down to his house for a weekend to view, tinker around with, and possibly drive his cars.

His stable is pretty impressive:
-Diablo
-Murcielago (the red one posted a short while ago)
-F50
-F430
-F355
-Lotus Esprit

Needless to say pics will follow ;] And yes I am a fortunate bastard.

Here's his toys anyway, pic taken from a brochure

That F50 is the only right hand drive one in the world and belonged to the Sultan of Brunei. The new owner, Alan Hanly, is planning a supercar museum at Kilronan Castle, Ballyfarnon, Co Roscommon. If the Bugatti EB110 comes as planned it could well be the only one in Ireland.

Ah well the secret's out, everybody knows who it is anyway!

And to be honest, an F50 isn't exactly a sleeper.

I know this might be cheating a little as I had to travel to get this shot - but on a recent trip to the Nurburgring I managed to stumble upon the BMW driver training... there were M3's everywhere, and all were getting "driven" hard. Have a stack load of shots but this is just a sample of the M3's...

Besides the new M3's there were lots of, amongst others, M3 CSL's, Porsche GT2's and GT3's. I thoroughly recommend a trip over and see about booking the "Ring Taxi" well in advance

Will see about posting more once I get signed up to one of the online photo uploading sites.

I saw the poster in the background on a large billboard a while back, its an ad for the 1 series.

It was funny because the first car behind it was quite obviously an Alfa 147, (you cant reaslly see it in MarkN's picture), cheeky and clever I thought.

Id love that GTI....... Nice picture.

Finally managed to track it down - and get a look! Found this parked up in the new Ritz Carlton in Powerscourt. No one around - just me, my camera, and the car.

Even my wife knew it as soon as we saw it - have watched Clarkson racing through Scandinavia in it once or twice. Was a beauty to look over and definitely has the look of speed...

Enjoy...

Was indeed a 05 D - was surprised myself! Seems it belongs to the guy who owns Treasury Holdings.. man with two first names:D

Supposedly it is left there for show - must be to attract punters to the hotel, not surprised as it ain't a cheap spot! He uses his Maybach for day to day...

Here is the rear shot I got, privacy provided for the owner:rolleyes:

S.I.R

Saw my first Ferrari 599. Grey with red seats driving down Bird Avenue, then again at the shops just up the road towards Dundrum.
Never thought I would say this about a 599 but **** me, its nice when you see it in person and grey or whatever the technical name for it is defo the colour to have it in.
