Yellow with Black 'Up and Over' Shelby stripes? On a T/A? Sounds a bit naff - where did you see that exactly? Could it have possibly been a Second Gen Camaro? Don't mean to doubt you but there are similarities!

Was thinking that it could have been this car?
(Note similarities to the Bull Nose T/A on the left!)

do you know what,i think your right,those cars are very simalar,i saw it in Cabra West yesterday after noon

Friend of mine had that yellow Camaro up until a few weeks back. He lives in Portlaoise but had it up for sale as he's looking at something else. We met up in Toughers just outside Naas Easter Sunday and some dude (Truck or Coach driver IIRC) spotted it, expressed an interest and ended up buying it pretty much there and then. The mods done to it were meant to give it the same look as the 'Transformers' Camaro, albeit the wrong year. Tight motor all the same!

Know the dude that owns it - recently brought it in from the UK. He lives in Wexford so that woulda been a thirsty enough trek to work!

Saw one of these in Tralee on Friday. It was bright yellow with Black wheels with a chrome sill.

It was mad. Never even heard of this make.

Fairly sure there's one of those out the Corbally direction, Dacia is it not?

I've a pic of some Defender look a like, a Santana or something, I'll try find the lead for my phone.

Thats a different 500 than the one I spotted, different wheels and different colour stripes along the side. No fun owning one of them now if there's 2

Agreed, looks great in the flesh. These types of colours were very popular in the late '60's and 70's (Orange, Green, Brown, Yellow, etc) - most of them are now dull and faded but this looks just like it should!

Cheers I got it for my 30th birthday from my wife.
It was in Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome near Nottingham.
It used to be an old US airforce base so its huge.

Would 100% recommend it.
If (or When ) I go again I'd just book the one car in advance and then pay & drive in whatever else I'd want, it would work out cheaper. Its not cheap by any means but well worth it in my opinion.

Guys.

There's a lot of deleting of posts by the mods going on at the moment.
READ THIS to understand why.

Saw a new model Z4 today on Nassau Street turning right onto Kildare St. Didnt expect to see one so soon (or at all this year!) Was dark blue in colour, 09-D reg. Was gonna get the phone out for a picture but it was bucketing down with rain so I didnt (sorry!)

Nice side profile to it though, almost mistook it for a 6 series when i glanced first.

Are there Frank Hogan plate surrounds on that? I remember when he had it in the showroom, saw it out on the road unregged a few times as well. Fantastic car.

Love the car but from that angle at the back....the way the sides and rear lamps jut out sideways from the boot lid...looks like JC in those swimming trunks :eek:

Have to say that they are one of the worst looking cars going. Dont care what the badges are its just a horrible vulgar looking car. Good spot though.

I don't think the white one is too bad (for a Qashqai).
The red one is another kettle of fish!!!
