Marcin, that GT500 looks very original, so much so that it looks like the real deal not a replica. If so that car is worth very serious money but somehow I doubt it's genuine.

I didn't even know that this car is so special. It's look nice so i took few photos. Is it rare car ?

Marcin that pagoda looks stunning worth a fair bit going for 70 to 80k in the uk.

You talking about Mercedes. It's another car which cost more than i except. Is it rare ?

I'm completely layman in photography and classic cars. Don't know anything about it

Mega fookin' rare dude and I've had it confirmed today that it's the real deal, i.e. a genuine, unmolested Mustang GT500. That car is worth a few hundred grand all day every day. It may not look that special but it's probably one of the most rare cars you've ever taken a pic of.

Don't think so Reventon 1 of 20, SLR Stirling Moss 1 of 75, Zonda PS 1 of 1, Koenigsegg CCXR 1 of 6, Aston Martin One-77, 1 of 77 etc

But this is quite rare in Ireland as well isn't it ?

Memories... Mercedes S55 AMG

First is some sort of Toyota Land Cruiser. I took that in Buenos Aires last week.


Second is a Landrover defender of some description , I took this last week in El Calafate (Patagonia)


The next few were all taken in El Chalten (Patagonia) during the week.

This is some sort of Merc campervan. I have never seen one like this before.


Standard VW camper


Chevrolet Corsa Estate - 1. I didn't know there was an estate version of this car & 2. I didn't know that Opel were built under the Chevrolet name in Argentina. I have seen Corsa's , Astras's etc all with the Chevrolet badge.


And finally, this is what looks like the remains of a Mini Moke ? I'm not sure.

Citroen Mehari. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_M%C3%A9hari. I love where they got the name from... 'A méhari is a type of fast-running dromedary camel, which can be used for racing or transport' !!!

^ First one up is an FJ Cruiser, not everybodys cup of tea but they look different.

Second is an extended Land Rover, not an uncommon conversion for Landies and early Range Rovers, i know an Austrrian guy who did a round the world trip in one.

Truck looks like a 1940-50's Mercedes L3250, probably with an ambulance body on it.

Last one is a Citroen Mehari, probably a slightly differently bodied local version, rear wheel arches and a couple of things on the body don't look right.

Nice finds, especially the VW and Merc.

I'll be in Belfast on Monday, don't suppose you know if the Speciale will still be there?

Forgot to mention I saw a brand new Bentley Flying Spur in town the other day driving past The Bleeding Horse pub, front looks very similar to the old one but the back looks a bit odd/unusual.

Didn't catch the reg it was in heavy traffic, looked like silver but could have been a light blue colour.

I know that a post without a pic is about as useless as a chocolate teapot but....

Saw a red Ferrari f12 near the convention centre in Dublin today. My mate saw it yesterday too, uk plate. Too far away and too quick to get a pic....

Anyone else snap it??

Such a shame about what happened to Fisker. They're bloody awesome looking cars.

What exactly happened? Googled it and just saw that a Hong Kong billionaire bought the company?

Do we have a spotted car thread? These arent my cars.. but I took them from my car or car park or something.

Neighbours car, white GT86, such a nice car, surely Alfa 4c people should be considering this too:


Speaking of Alfa, a 156GTA, looking great in the flesh, unusual colour too:


And one of my favourite marmite cars, the X6 50i, twin turbo V8:

Looking imposing and awesome in the flesh.
