MercMad

I know the Citywest guy is loaded but those cars were probably belong to guests there no ??

I HATE the Toureg. Its so ill proportioned ! What engine is in all the ones I see driving around anyway, theres loads of them ?? Surely they arent all petrol engined are they ??

For 120k I'd take a Range Rover anyday. King of the hill IMO !

M5 is sweet !

I saw a fantastic , mint, E30 M3 in silver with wine leather interior, totally standard and all the better for it ! Lovely car !

Oh yeah, I saw one of those new Range Rover Sports the other day. Looked kind of nice but I'm still undecided about it. Wasn't mad about the slopey back on it. Smaller than you would imaginr from the pics but still a decent size. It's smaller than the Discovery

Saw a brand new Ford Mustang parked in a house down in Clare! Red with two black lines from the hood to the back, no plates on the front, beautiful.

Could be just in from the US.
(Many US states don't require front plates).

Did you see the back plate ?

drdre

Saw an 05 D one yesterday. In Finn Reddy.

Also saw a car ive never seen the likes of before on the naas road - it looked similar to the batmobile. Very long but not long in an estate way.

The only car i can think it even resembled was the maybach excelero.

It did a u-turn on the naas road and took off back up towards mdl.

Kersh

Saw a NI reg Audi S4 Abt in Swords. Nice looking, in red with chrome window trims... lovely.

white is the new black, it looked great! it's also the best colour to get a new gti in, if one was so inclined.

MercMad

Yeah white has been so out of fashion over here that when you bsee a new expensive car it really stands out !

I saw a CLK cabriolet, current model, in white whilst aborad. It looked awesome !

Still I wouldn't it ! You'd be hit BIG TIME for resale !

According to Mercedes Benz order books the trend has changed from silver Mercs to black metallic ones, for the first time in 8 years silver is no.2 !

samo

Saw a lovely 02 DB7 vantage convertible (have seen it a few times now) and Iwent to take a pic of it with the camera phone but felt like a fool when I was caught by someone looking at it so took a pic of something else instead.

On a different note has anyone ever seen the banana yellow Fiat Seciento that has big blue paw print stickers all over it and what can only be described as half of smiths toy store on the inside. It frequents the Tallaght/Clondalkin area and is a truly awesome sight in its own unique way!!

lol saw that in Liffey Valley once, it is definitely original to say the least

dawballz

Saw this loverly hummer the other day in Galway.


And also this baby:

ds20prefecture

I saw this last week....




It's a 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic
The first car used magnesium-alloy body panels to save weight, hence the external rivets. Magnesium is highly flamable so couldn't be welded.
This car uses aluminium instead.
Total production run of 3, of which 2 survive. Estimated value of about €10,000,000

By comparison the DB9, Maybach or Continental GT are about as common as the Ford Fiesta.

qz

Wow, the exterior looks very modern for something that was built in the 30's.

qz

My Dad just told me he saw an 04 D black Lambo in Fitzwilliam Square, so that means there's (at least) two, that and the orange one.

el tel

I saw a yellow Murcielago on the N11 last Sunday.
In Hollywood County Down there is a purple Murcielago belonging
to a bulider called Fred Fraser (who also has a Countach and a Diablo)
and in Belfast an orange Murcielago that a friend spotted and which could be the same as the one mentioned somewhere else on the board. In the north over the last few years I've seen two other countaches (black and blue) and two other diablos (white and yellow) so it is quite surprising how many there are.

Sure that ain't the 2.5TDI that has been knocking around for a while....it's got S4 alloys with chrome surrounds...actually the owner has slapped chrome everywhere and it now looks a bit tacky IMO

drdre

yeah sharkman you ar right pics would be great

Kersh

No, this looked standard trim, noy tacky add ons. looked brand new too. Had a small enamel shiny badge on the middle right of the boot that just said ABT (Christian Abt, dtm racer I would assume), big standard looking looking alloys.

Kersh

And 2 minutes ago, a Hummer H2 on 22" chrome wheels.. outside work.

Funxy

Is that better than a Master Card Zinc ???

Kersh

Hmmm, thats strange, cos he should have an esso card.. for like free fuel (well company paid), maybe he loaned it out for the day. He did the Gumball Rally in it last year, there was a pic in this forum of it in a gumball thread - someone spotted it on holiday - here is the pic.

John2002

Spotted a BMW 840 in Ennis the other day, I hadn't seen one of the outside of the states before.

Also saw a Bentley Azure in Limerick a few weeks back. They were around the STG£230,000 mark new so I dread to imagine what they'd be in euro.

unkel

@Kersh - a Frenchie is trying to contact your cousin to send him some pics of his kid on the roof of the hummer

Kersh

Really? How do you know that - I better get him and see then

Kersh

Aye that's the one - never knew it was called black! Invitation only and you have to spend about $150000 a year on it

Two days ago in Puerto Banus (a harbour in Spain), I saw two Hummer H2´s, Ferrari F430, F360, 3 Cayenne Turbo´s, Hummer H2, Rolls Royce, Merc Sl55, Cl55, E55, Bentley Azure, Continental T, 2 4.8 X5´s and a few 911´s.

The place is like a miniature Monte Carlo with 200ft superyachts and the best carpark I´ve ever seen.

drdre

thats a nice hummer with the chromes,whoever owns that should have got 24's or 26" chromes they would have looked class.

Really? I think it's typical thirties - all smoothed and futuristic. The car could hit 110mph, which was pretty astonishing for a road car at the time.
