The stretch Hummer is presumably 'the Monks'.
I saw a blue 04 or 05 Quattroporte this morning on the N4 at Liffey Valley but didn't bother getting a pic

I wasn't a fan on Bangle's work but it has gotten under my skin!

There's no need to be like that ds, you wouldn't here any of us going on about Citroen's that fall apart or depreciate faster than a speeding bullet or suspension failure or...... I won't go any further.:D

Au contraire - you seem to hear little else. If it's not Citroën, it's Peugeot, and if it's not Peugeot, it's Alfa. Whereas if you were to read the general trend here, BMWs, or indeed any German cars, never ever ever break down. Even ones with 500bhp engines that are thrashed within an inch of their life.

Anyway - aren't you selling a DS?

junkyard · 13-12-2005 10:13pm

I know from personal experiences that BMW's never break down but I'm not so sure about VW's and Audi's. The Citroen DS is the exception to my previous post......especially the one I'm selling of course.:)

MercMad · 14-12-2005 10:13am

We have two E39 5 series here, one had aircon failure (common problem) and the other has broken down and left the owner stranded 3 times in 2005 !

Cost over €1500 to get it fixed once. The airbag lights on both keep coming on and one is currently downstairs awaiting its gearbox !

That said...................you could find similar stories about every make nowdays !

its true.

the only reason you hear about the other marques more and more is because of bad, very bad customer service.

Forget the merc, anyone seen the maybach driving round Gran Canal street?
Now there's a sweet car. It belongs to Enya's producer i think.
Price tag starting around €350000.

impr0v · 14-12-2005 1:48pm

was cycling up through Terenure this morning and saw a silver Aston Martin DB4, similar to the one below.

Outside work (again) - a convertible Mmw 645ci. Black.

qz · 14-12-2005 6:38pm

Murhpy & Gunn (BMW garage) have the new 650 in the window.

BigCon · 14-12-2005 6:55pm

Driving behind a 1997 Ferrari F355 GTS in Portlaoise today.

Think he was a bit jealous of my megane as he passed me out...;)

Lovely motor, prefer it in red though...

el tel · 15-12-2005 10:49am

Here's the same F355 pictured in Belfast.

MercMad · 15-12-2005 11:08am

There is a dealer logo on the moving photo, and none whilst it is parked in Belfast !

I'm sure it probably IS the same car ..........obvioulsy whoever is/was selling it down here didn't want anyone to know they didn't service it.

Also the reg before it was sold down here would have been yellow.

nah, probably just hated free advertising for the garages with them nasty reg-plate surrounds and very sticky window stickers!

but it was already reg'd with irish plates in the pic parked up in belfast!

MercMad · 15-12-2005 11:29am

The current picture has the dealer logo !

The earlier Belfast one doesn't !

I saw Ronan Keating driving his new 7 Series the other day ! Looked great wityh HUGE wheels.........at least 20" !

BigCon · 15-12-2005 11:46am

It is a different car!!!
Different reg anyway (btw, what's the policy regarding posting car regs here?)...

Seth Brundle · 15-12-2005 12:12pm

Im sure Mr. Ferrari would love to have his reg on the net.

If some one could give a proper reason why registrations shouldn't be posted that doesn't start with "I know of.." or "I heard that.." I would love to hear it.

I don't know of, or haven't heard that. I know that it is possible to get personal information with the right information for example car reg's

qz · 15-12-2005 6:28pm

Saw a silver 360 Spyder today around near Leeson Street (UK reg).

And a new Mercedes S Class! Black and fully chromed.

Here's what I saw today (Please read the rules before posting)
