Lads, FFS, this is one of very little thread that we can have general car talk and discussion on cars we see, and other things relating to them. Read the first page of the thread. Two car pictures were posted, and then there was general chatter and discussion. I see nothing wrong with this thread. It's very easy scan down the page and see if there are any pictures.

Gonna +1 this - it amuses me greatly the number of AMG's or RS4's posted that aren't the real deal, the boards detectives slamming them down to earth.

There's no more interesting cars left.

well if somebody said they saw a diablo/miura/lp560/lp670 or any lambo id bet you would be pretty interested in seeing pics, no? there are always plenty of interesting cars coming, just depend on what you consider interesting. i would consider ferraris and lambos interesting whereas some people couldnt give a toss about them and would be more interested in citroen 2cv's.

anybody else really tired of seeing these? yea i know sometimes it can be funny to see an opel corsa with type r turbo badges but its gotten to the stage where it should have its own thread, like the unusual reg plates one

tossy

Yeah blatanlty obvious fakes are boring but sometimes you will see a car where someone has gone that extra mile to make it a replica,like the 04 red RS4 i seen on the M7 at the weekend someone went to serious trouble to make it look like an RS4 but it wasn't or the AMG merc a few posts back,the will fool 95% of the poeple but not proper enthusiasts and its a bit of craic to out them

Big Nasty

Replicas, Clones, Tributes - they ain't all bad!

In fact I think this one looks better than the original:

Saw a black 04 VW Phaeton on the Condell roundabout in Limerick yesterday. First time i've seen one in the flesh. Its some barge! :eek:

Possibly belongs to the boardsie (Matt Simis possibly) who is selling one.


EDIT: This one.. http://www.carzone.ie/search/Volkswagen/Phaeton/V10-TDI/200909192006028/advert

...although his location is Meath. Maybe he was taking it for a spin!

Nice spot, i was up that way earlier, didn't see that.


There does be a lad up around there when all the "street racing" heads meet up with a beautiful WRX, i want.



Edit: I gotta read what everyone else says first.

Of course I would, they're few and far between... I also consider a lot of other cars interesting but recently there hasn't been may people spotting!

In Strandhill, Sligo of all places.
rear end was still heavily disguised
sorry, had no camera on me ..

this is the 3rd time now I've seen Porsche prototypes around Sligo

Mr Benevolent

this is the 3rd time now I've seen Porsche prototypes around Sligo

I'm guessing it's Peasant doing a bit of clandestine testing :D

Edit: Oops, it was you posting. Do you perhaps have a another personality that tests Porsches?

Yes ...but my main drive is a nearly 20 year old van and my real passion is modding on boards

Saw an Audi S8 (08 D reg no less :eek:) this moring by the crescent shopping centre in Limerick!! Nearly crashed as it passed me! What a machine! Yummy quad exhausts too. No pics unfortunately. Can surely only be a handful of those on this island?

McSpud

Saw an old Fiat 500 (orange) like the one below. Looked to be a tight squeeze for the driver :pac:

Not even close. Its an a4 DTM edition. Google it. 2 litre turbo 4wd 225bhp.

I also saw an Audi S8 in Limerick today but later on I saw a 06 D S8 on Mallow Street.

Not as rare and unique as you may think.

Now the VW Phaeton - that is rare.

CharlieCroker

saw a '98 S8 today (the origional one) in Midleton.
Even in green, it looked savage.

Seems to be a day for them, or else they're just not that rare
