Red Ferrari 360 Modena brand new (at least it had a 05 plate) - I would have held out for the F430 but it was still amazing looking :eek:

The most exotic car I've seen on Irish roads would be a Ferrari F40. Saw it in Kinnegad of all places Northern reg.

Spotted a Grey BMW M3 CSL, UK reg. Not sure if it had the standard tyres as you need to sign a disclaimer when you buy the car and you are not supposed to use them in the wet.

heard they had bad electrics, but did not know it was that bad...

Not often we see these items about here, but pulled alongside a new Lotus yesterday.

Later, a topless Nissan Z350, interesting car, interesting lady driving... obviously did not find me interesting.... left me standing at the light.

Later, a very well kept Fiat-X19 rolled by.

However, for pure mobile art kitch, a 60's Mustang plastered with skulls of all sorts and sizes passed me on the highway this morning. Up front & center the skull and antlers of a stag. How come I never have a camera when needed.

The Phaethons goal was just tho bring prestige to the overall VW brand, sales were expected to be low.

The CEO of a company performing badly would buy one, internal luxury with wastage deniability "hey, its only a volkswagen"

Another Merc CLS two days ago and that orange lambo yesterday. I think the colour is disgusting and sticks out a mile. It's a nice enough car to spot without it trying to blind you.

I was driving behind something that very much resembles the 'lovely coloured' orange lambourgini - but in black. This was today passing through Newcastle near Citywest, unfortunately it was 2 cars up and the 1st car in front of me was a passat estate with a huge dog trailer towed on the back :mad: which was nowhere near as nice to look at and kept obstructing my view.

So if anyone else was in the vicinity today (what are the chances ) and spotted this on a northern reg plate would love to know was it a Lamborgini! - if so it was a fine car!

Saw an 04 reg Ferrari 575M parked in the Springfield Hotel in Leixlip on Sunday. Took a couple of pics of it, but haven't brought them with me, unfortunately.

Must have been a husband and wife team.

Two passed by me today;
She in a Alfa Giulia

and he about 200ft ahead in a topless one. see here

Or at least that's the best approximation I can put on them. the reg plate on one was "TIE ###", which makes it pretty old.

There is normally a Ferarri 550M parked outside Vodafone in Leopardstown. It always in the reserved parking space. Sometimes there is a CL Merc there instead.

Savage motors..

Son owns the hotel - he drives a Porsche GT3 most days, while the other has a Cayenne! the fathers previous Ferrari was a F355 Berlinetta. New one is amazing, although it's a funny site with him driving it :eek:

That yoke looks horrible.

Nice on the inside though.

Today, I followed a silver DB9 from blackrock to clontarf. I met a red Ferrari between Clonee & Leixlip but was going a wee bit too fast to see the exact type.
I also saw about 15 new M5s.
Busy day!
