I heard about it few seconds before i left Cherrywood but i couldn't go there because i had to back to work. Unfortunatelly
I'm going holidays next week so i'll see some good cars and first sunday when i'm back i'll try to go to Midlands American Auto Club show. I asked girl in work can she swap with me on that day and she said is no problem so i might try to get something like "media pass" because i'd like to take a good photos of burnout but i don't know where should i ask about it
Week after that i might go for 50 years of Lamborghini. Not sure about this yet because i trying to change a job and if i get any i might not get days off on that days. I'm waiting till wednesday/thursday this week and if noone call me i'll book a ticket to Italy. I said i've only one life and i should do what i like... this is why i try to go Italy and the other hand 50 years of Lamborghini happens only once. Next show like this will be in 50 years (100 years of Lamborghini) so i'll be old :P

I thought he go to UK last month and i was really surprised when i saw him coming the car park. Sound of that machine is so great. Together with sound of Ford GT and BMW M5 it was "cars sound porn". Maybe i should but some camera.. i mean real camera to making a movies not to photos and start making some movies

P.S. I probably made a few mistakes so sorry for that

They used to be a lot better before Carrickmines retail park told people to get out, even though everyone was a paying customer in the coffee shop. Apparently some boy racers heard about it and decided to have their own meet and video'd themselves acting the cock in the car park which wrecked it for everyone.

Ardennes1944

Of course! But even as it is now, thats a fantastic selection. Good to know theres still real cars out there. Is there any general 'big' meet up during the year? Might be worth my while travel from Cork if there was

smash

There's been a couple of C&C's where the pistonheads lads came down from the north or people traveled up there for a morning. There's some serious metal on those days.

Spotted in Beshoffs in Howth, a Mclaren SLR 722

No, they were organised on another forum which is gone now. You could keep an eye on the PH facebook group or PH Irish forum though.

Any more photos of the purple Morris estate Marcinek?

First Sunday of the month for the Dublin C&C, 3rd Sunday for Athlone, Limerick (2nd I think) Wed of the month. I'm in talks with a few people to maybe start a Cavan C&C as well. There's a C&C Ireland FB group also with dates etc.

Ardennes1944

Turns out there a C&C on in Cork next week actually, anyone from here heading?

The Irish Festival of Speed guys hold one in Limerick too, think it's the first Sunday of the month, get very interesting selection of cars attending.

Has anyone seen the 131D reg, blue Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale? I'm trying to find out where can I spot it again.

Last spotted: Monday, 8th April, 9:30 AM, Kildare Street, Dublin.

I've seen it a few times in both the RIAC car park on Dawson st and in the Four Seasons. RIAC would be your best bet, but I'm not too sure if they'd be happy at people coming in to take pictures in what is a members only car park.

Renault Clio F1 R27 in Belfast

Today was a good day for spotting around Dublin.. unfortunately i was looking for job not cars. I saw Volvo P1600 on Kylemore Road - probably one i saw in Terenure last year, then i saw Nissan GT-R (english plates) on Belgard Road and the only one i have photo cause I had time to take my phone and make a photo: C63 AMG (10LH****):

Next photos on next week as i'm going holidays on early morning tomorrow.. if anyone want to give me a lift from Tallaght to Dublin Airport at 8-9am let me know cause i have bus at 7 and it's too early No i'm just joking i'll take that bus and spend few hours on airport (as usual)

Does the Aircoach not go through Tallaght?

Marcinek_55

@MCMLXXV no i never saw any, here is only Airport Hopper and he leave Tallaght at 7:20, next one is at 9:20 and that would be too late for me - it's only 15 minutes left to get to Airport and do check-in. I'll go at 7:20 or maybe my dad will have off in the morning and he will give me a lift but don't think so I'll check all the shops on airport haha :P

75 from Tallaght to Ballinteer. Then get the 16 straight to the airport. Both go every 15 mins or so that hour.

Where you going on holidays car spotting this time?

Marcinek_55

Monaco like every year in April since 3 year I love that country and if i win in lotto one day i will buy home over there. I know there will be Ferrari F12 and Mansory 458 Spider driving around because they are cars for rent (1200e per day and rent at least for one week), 800hp and 1000hp Monstaka Nissan GT-R and ISIS - dutch supercar and much more Can't wait :P

Got back from Berlin this morning, AMG Merc's seem to be given away over there, no shortage of Porches either!

Went to a place called Classic Remise on Sunday, some of the cars in there were amazing! I really should have stayed in Berlin around Postdamer platz or the like as a mate said all the rich folk were around (nice weather) showing of their cars. I got a glimpse of a Merc SLR Sterling Moss while in a taxi :eek:

I have to go through all my pics and will post them up as soon as I can!

Saw this guy in Phoenix over the weekend:

CianRyan

What the hell is that?

lil_lisa

Its a Rally Fighter. To buy one, you choose the specs and spend several days building it yourself.

CianRyan

They look sweet!
I thought it was a jumped up GT86 for a second.

There was a Dodge Ram behind me on the way home earlier :D:D:D

BigEejit

I saw this the other day, my daughter said its a sad looking car :P


I was struggling to make out the name, its a Lancia Thesis


Also spotted this, cool looking car, even without windows

The Citroen traction avant had quite a long production life from 1937-8 untill 1957. Some right hand drive versions were actually assembled in Dublin by Ashenhurst Williams.

In Rathmines village this afternoon, saw what I thought was a red Ferrari 360 Spider. Only got a quick glance, looked convincing enough but it had a thin racing stripe down the middle and a really tacky font on the licence plates, something about it didn't look right - just checked cartell and it's a Toyota MR-S. Wasn't a bad replica in fairness, the wheels are actual Ferrari 360 wheels (probably not OEM but same design/dimensions).

Only remembered today that I saw a stupid looking 355 Spider replica on Drury street the other day as well, 2 fake Ferrari's in a week :rolleyes: The celtic tiger is well and truly dead
