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

Mac 3

Open to correction of course, but that collection of BMWs (the M1, 850 and E30) looks like what was in Motor Import (BMWs Irish HQ) for a few years in the early 90's. Saw a blue Maserati Quattroporte in Tipperary on Jan1.

A 05D 750i parked beside my 735i this evening. Nothing too spectacular you might think but it was to me. First time I actually really liked the look of the new 7. Why does it seem to take me 4/5 years to start liking new BMW models? It was the same when the E39 came out. I don't consider myself to be that conservative but maybe I am? :rolleyes:

Stylish alloys too, more like audi A8 / merc S than any BMW alloys I've seen

It's joining the S430/S500 on the shortlist for my next car for sure

I saw a 745i yesterday. Prick came up into the lane beside us to pass us out at the lights, we were in a '97 Micra at the time, with my 20 year old brother driving. We were out-classed to say the least

I reguarly see a 1960's Aston Martin DB5 on the Airton Road in Tallaght. It's on a ZV plate. I think it is used as a everyday car :eek:.

Could it be this car, it's a ZV reg (not visible on pict)
(Think the one below is possibly is a DB6)

Gatster

Over in the Uk all Xmas, obsecene obsecene. At the Trafford Ctr (Manchester) alone on Boxing Day from memory, nice to see the wealthy getting their sale items in:

Red 360 Spyder
Hummer H2
Countless Range Rover Sports
2x Porsche Cayenne Turbos (1 complete with bling bling chrome rims)

In work car park right now: black 06D 630i. Looks better standing right beside it compared to other ones I've seen from the car

That wide arched M3 is a complete waste. It is everything that the M3 was not about

Looks like it alright, same colour aswell. Can't be too many of them around. Outside the same building on the Airton Road where the Aston often is, I also see sometimes a dark blue Mercedes 220E Fintail (I think). Could be owned by the same guy who has the Aston.

Maxwell Motors have a new BMW M6 in the showroom. Blue with cream interior. There can't be too many of those in the country.

I saw this on Dec 16th (haven't been on here really since)
Dublins Quays - Aston pulled over for being in bus lane (traffic stopped when these were taken!).
It had a great reg also!

These were parked in my steet last night. I think they belonged to the guests at a do in someone's house.
The Maser had a Northern Reg.

Popped into a friend in a main BMW dealer yesterday - working OT preparing cars for 06 reg - 400 of them no less!

Anyway, out the back away from forecourt and prying eyes...

Crap pic of a stored M1! (850 and mint E30 in background)

Those cars are belong to Frank Keane, part of his own personal collection. They graced the showrooms of the Naas rd. premises intermittantly iover the last 10-15 years !

He has others too, a lovely 507 Roadster , nice 3.0CSi, and an '02 of sorts ! The E30 Sprt has very small mileage AFAIR

MercMad

Ahhh so it IS Nicky Byrne in the Escalade ! Is ee it regularly !

Also regularly see the 04DB9, 05D 911, just saw an 06 Cayenne Turbo in Malahide, theres an 05 one there regularly too !

That gold Merc 300SEL in the above photo is belong to a guy I know !

I'm lovin' that black 355...........nicest Ferrari I've seen in a long time, great colour combo !

Oh and BTW that Aston IS a DB6............the DB5 is almost identical except th rear 1/4 window is larger and the car doesn't have the Kamm tail. DB5 is much nicer IMO !

I see this car every day..........................BOO HOO !!
