    I know the sightings are strictly speaking supposed to be within Ireland, but here's 3 central European oldies seen on a flying visit (is there any other kind ?!?) to Budapest last Monday.................also saw some "exotic" plates during the day including Liechtenstein, Nigeria, and The Gambia !!

    Maybe he can help the guards with there enquirys re all the high end cars & dodgy VRT he can probably tell them who owns them all and their recent movements !!

    1 second guess: Trabant, Zastava and Skoda?

    heres couple of recent ones spotted

    was wondering when i saw it, but does the 650 have only 2 exhausts, while this one seems to have 4??? a re-badged M6, but why???
    It's a 650 with a schnitzer kit... the thing is that Cartell has a 2996ltr engine on records which would indicate that it's been registerd as a 650 with a 630engine - I think we just found one of the cars that customs are probably looking for!

    Whoever owns that 6 Series has certainly put a lot of work into it, he's got the M mirrors and all.

    Yeah i noticed that, It seriously doesnt look that bad.It looks nice and cheaper than the actual car and cheaper to run.As mentioned before it seems its only a 630 not a 650.

    I think it needs to lose that hideous rear spoiler.

    Unkel, right on the first two - last one isn't a Skoda however.

    I wouldn't take Cartell as fact all the time.

    This is what it has on my car:

    Registration *******
    Make BMW
    Model 325 I SPORT
    Description 335I M A 2DR Z3D4 SPORT
    Engine Capacity(cc) 2979
    Fuel Type PETROL

    I called Shannon about it and it's just the motor tax office that have it listed, my log book says 335 but all the same, Cartell can have wrong info passed onto it.

    You should actually contact cartell and let them know about that, As thats actually not right that we pay for a report that might be wrong.Good spotting.

    Cartell would just tell you they are only going on the motor tax records.

    No skin off mine anyway, the log book is correct, someone in Shannon messed it up when the car was registered.

    Cartell is very handy for checking stuff in this thread though, not trying to knock it.

    Why should the number of a certain car on the road turn you off buying one? I never understood that..

    Well when you’re spending in excess of 280k on a car I think u might want a bit of exclusivity.....

    Hey all,

    I'm in NYC at the mo and I saw this thing outside Trump Tower.

    It was a Bentley limo. I took photos but it was in the dark.

    The back of it looked exactly like a Bentley.

    The front lights looked like Bentley lights, but there was a Rolls emblym on the front.

    There was a Bentley dealer reg plate on it

    :confused:

    thats a roll royce limo, based on the model from the late 90's (cant think of the name) looks very similar to the bentley arnage.

    Im guessing its a 7 series with a few bells and whistles,at least if a guy is calling his car an M7 you can't really knock him for trying to pretend its something its not :D he is just trying to drop a hint to BMW :p

    Drove past what looked like a CL55 today, but there was nothing but a "K" on the back. Its was written italic. No photo, cause I simply was driving up beside it when I saw it. Any ideas what it is?
