Hey ash, that's the guy who screamed at me "Car Thief" when I asked could I have a look inside. I was a bit taken aback.

A - Ok I was unshaven and wearing a grey echo unltd hoodie

but

B - I had just pulled up in my S320 LWB to collect my kid.

This happened outside the coffee shop on St. Mary's road, total twat of a guy.

Maybe he assumed you had robbed the S320 and then spotted a better car to steal

I would be a bit taken aback if some stranger came up to me and asked for a look inside my car, especially if I had something pretty unique.

Saw the new Fiat 500 (Cinquecento) on James' St. this morning - being driven by a guy in Fiat overalls etc. but no sign of trade plates or anything and the car had "500" plates on it only ! Obviously being driven (illegally) to some promo / garage. (apologies - no camera with me so no pic !)

Nice looking supermini - can see it doing well here esp. with the number of colour/interior option combos etc.

Just saw a bright yellow one on Talbot Street 08-D-5003 - some ould lad driving it

There was a promo launch of the 500 in the IFSC on Tuesday, there were a few cars covered during the day...to be dramatically uncovered at some point I presume:rolleyes:

Theres a 4th one that shows the last truck gone in after lifting the first truck.

Yeah, but if you look closely its photoshopped.

Plug

Yeah i heard that alright. I supose by then they got sense and got a bigger crane to lift it out:D

Saw an absolutely spotless and shiny Aston Martin DB6 (this one https://www.cartell.ie/ssl/servlet/beginStarLookup) on Pearse Street at lunchtime today, whoever owns it is certainly looking after it.

Untrue ! The second recovery truck did NOT go in!

R8 in Newbridge on Saturday.

Cracking looking motor, except for the dumb-ass lights.

smash

Moher of god, the back of that 120 is hideous.... :O

corrado

Bearcat

In Bed sick...this thread is just brilliant with all the pics...pure car porn....keep posting those pics...from the amazing to junk boxes.

bennyx_o

I quite like the 1 series Coupe..

ZENER

Have to say I like that 120. Can't wait to see the 135.

Gatster

That 120d was (or is) the demo at Joe Duffy, at least that's what they told me last week when I was shown round it. Nice, but feels very small, even more so than the normal 1-series, but for starting at €48650 (comes down in July) , well :eek::eek::eek:

The salesman in Joe Duffy said, and I quote:

Sales bloke: "If you can wait until July 1st, do it, a lot of our prices our dropping"
Me: Are you not upping the spec and charging the same?
Sales Bloke (looking bemused): "No".

Victor

Just because you can buy it, doesn't mean you can park it anywhere you want.

Wishbone Ash

I don't see too many of these around. Then again, the thoughts of spending €70,000 odd and coming home with a Citroen doesn't have much appeal. :eek:

javaboy

I hate those eejits who post just for the sake of getting like the 6,000 th post :(

There's a lovely blue Mustang in my area.... must get hold of a camera

The same happened to a family friend a little while ago when his DB9 got clamped. He was literally 5 minutes past the time limit and he got done, the clampers were still there and all. They fúckers delight in getting the exotics. ;[

BEcause it's a Ferrari, it should be allowed park in a taxi rank?

I hate that, most people would aspire to own or have the ability to own something like that, yet all they seem to do is begrudge the people who have them.

It seems to be a strong Irish trait I'm afraid.

I once heard someone say,

In any other country if a person sees a sucessful person living in a nice house they say to themselfs, one day if I work hard I will have that, but when an Irish person sees it they say to themselfs, I'm going to get that ******. :rolleyes:

Those vehicles were illegally parked and therefore merited the appropriate action.

What has begrudgery got to do with it?

There are hundreds of 'ordinary' vehicles clamped each day. People just tend to take pictures of the more exotic ones. It doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to the clampers what type of vehicle it is.

conneem-TT

I know. I wasn't refering to the fact that it got clamped but that they got some delight out of it
