F430 Spider, some nice cars in the area recently. He made a quick get away, which is always a good thing when its a Ferrari, great sound.

I've seen one of those as well in Lusk today. Yer man driving it had a red ferrari shirt and a red ferrari cap.

By the Grand Canal. I was in my car stuck in the usual rush hour slow moving traffic on the road. The Ferrari went past us heading towards town.

Its a GAZ 69 or a UAZ 469 (essentially the same thing). Russian built 4x4. I think this particular model is out of production now.

He seems to be taxed and insured but has no reg plate.

Saw this Ferrari earlier in stillorgan

Seen this also in rathfarnham on what appeared to be an original Irish reg.. Excuse the bad iPhone photos but what can you do. Have to get a proper android phone.

It's a different world in the UK for cars - spent a few hours over around Fulham which is where I saw the Aston and the CL65 - didn't even bother taking out the camera for "bog standard" 911s.

Probably because they don't get raped by the revenue when they buy new cars.

Nothing to do with that, it's car culture pure and simple. Can't argue VRT, as people who are going to spend 210k on Car X without VRT, will still pay 210k on Car Y with VRT.
Cant argue motor tax, as €1,566 a year tax versus a €150k car is fairly meaningless.

Culture!

Not really. There are plenty of people that would not buy a Ferrari or Lamborgini over here due to the fact that they have to pay nearly 40% more than those that live 100 miles to the North and all they have to show for it is a set of reg plates, a higher road tax bill and a migrane at the thought of having to sell it here.

Sure look at all the pictures in this thread of cars up north, car culture there too I guess :rolleyes:

Seperate

Spent the last few days working on this. Drove it all the way across the city and didn't get in the spotted thread









These are just pics from my phone... will process ones from my camera & some HD video in the next few days...

If someone has €100,000 to spend on a car, they have €100,000 to spend on a car and will buy a car that costs €100,000. It doesn't matter if an M5 is £60,000 in the UK but €100,000 here, people will still buy the car that they have a budget for.

No different than a house. Arguing that people in Ireland don't buy exotic cars because they're cheaper to buy and run in England and they'll forever have penis envy for what they could have bought if they lived in a different country with a different economy with much higher personal taxation is completely specious and off this planet.

Ireland isn't a car nation, you can see this across the whole spectrum(from people not being car proud/servicing properly, to the fact hot hatchbacks etc don't even get offered for sale over here etc etc). Different priorities as a culture, and cars is definitely not one of them.

Hehe.. was parked infront of a fancy-ish building for effect... note how said fancy building isn't in any of those pics :rolleyes:

The HD-Video is cool, and captures the shine pretty good. I'll post it up once i'm finished editing.

Latest one...

People really should learn how to drive one of these before they get into one!
Then again its not as bad as the guy who crashed a Mclaren F1 on the autobahn a couple of weeks ago...
