In Mondello yesterday supporting the SEAT Supercup car we are sponsoring. Spotted this bad boy in the car park. 151 D plate. I'm a big Audi fan but was a bit underwhelmed with the S8. IMO not much presence for €130k

I don't think they were ever designed to have a big presence. RS or S versions across the Audi range. Always slight sleepers.

911 Carrera S i saw the other day

166man

I'd have the Maserati....!

Hal1

Nice grunt out of her sure, but the handling and driving pleasure of the 911 would win me over .

166man

Saw this yesterday evening in Terenure.....




Now that's some roadtrip...!

A little teaser of what I saw during last weekend:

Bugatti family: Veyron Super Sport World Record Edition, Veyron Pur Sang, Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Car Edition and just a "normal" Veyron with some other Bugattis in the background.

Think someone here mentioned that the Miura and Countach belong to him too, he seems to be buying a lot of classics and building a collection.

Maybe some day we'll get the Supercar museum that never happened... http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/motors/supercar-hotel-1.1211289

Strangest of all, in some respects, is the boom in classic cars. Never mind that the wealthy are increasingly living in urban apartments with miserable underground car parks rather than country houses with coach houses. Never mind the fashion for hiring Zip cars by the hour rather than owning our own vehicles and all the fuss that goes with them. Cars have become the investment bubble which inflated while few of us were really looking. Prices of classic cars, according to the Historic Automobile Group Index (HAGI), are up 430 per cent over the decade. Forty-six per cent of that rise has come in the past 12 months.

As for Alan Hanly and his supercar museum....he's in NAMA after leaving over 150 creditors out by million of Euros.

In Brazil at the moment on holidays. Wife's cousin rolled up in this.

Love it!

Will post more pics and one of the car we hired later. Some awesome cars here. Lots of escort coupes, old american pickups, Chevy's etc. Driving is absolutely crazy.

No you are not. Sorry.

BTW. 2 F1 cars in front of it. Prost and Senna. It was a F1 golden era for me.

BMW Z1 in Belfast today.

porsche959

^ That Z1's in good shape, hard to believe it's a quarter century old.

Zcott

Yep, it was well looked after, paintwork was in great condition. I was tempted to follow him for the rest of the day just to see the sliding doors!

:rolleyes:

Are you ever going to post a pic here or will you continue to criticise other people's posts and pics. :rolleyes:

jozi

I know it's nothing compared to those places above but regularly seem to see them around here more so than the other part of town I live in.

I still have a lot of pics from Vancouver I need to edit and upload but I've not find the time or motivation to do them
