Jesus Christ! Was he just sitting there or how did you get that shot?

Thats like watching Da Vinci dabbing some paint onto the Mona Lisa!!!

Great pics, I'll have to head to Italy for my next holiday instead of North Korea.

el diablo · 16-10-2011 11:10pm

Who's that chap?

kwalshe · 16-10-2011 11:16pm

Horacio Pagani me thinks

MetzgerMeister · 17-10-2011 1:58pm

Is that the man himself or a wax figure??

Nice photos, maybe i'll go there as well

if i find some time

E39MSport · 17-10-2011 3:17pm

Not sure about the prototype - looks like American muscle meets Fiat coupe to me.

But I'll go with their expertise

blades7 · 17-10-2011 4:02pm

Wouldnt mind a test drive!

Dazza Mc kenna · 17-10-2011 5:43pm

Yes its Horacio Pagani, 100% real, He was very welcoming and his passion for cars and Design is very apparent, As i'm into car design and want to be a car designer it was a honor to meet him and get some designing advice

E39MSport · 18-10-2011 8:45am

Nice work Dazza !

dharn · 21-10-2011 11:44pm

It is a Miura Concept, it was shown in 2006!

CharlieCroker · 22-10-2011 5:56am

Saw a black BMW X6 tonight in Carrickmines. Nothing strange about that apart from the taxi sign on the roof!!!!!!!!

Berty · 22-10-2011 7:36am

Saw a LHD Texas registered ML350 in Galway yesterday. WTF?

mfceiling · 22-10-2011 7:56am

Saw an 11 reg alfa 159 in black on the m50 last night...it looked class...seemed to be some sort of special edition.
Makes the other cars in it's class look boring.

166man · 22-10-2011 2:33pm

Parked beside a 05 D reg Alfa 166 3.0 V6 today in Dundrum shopping centre... Wow so gutted to see phone was dead so no pic...

At least somebody else has style!

In other news an Octavia diesel overtook me on the way home...:D

Digits · 22-10-2011 2:48pm

Saw an Aston Martin DB9 in Cashel of all places yesterday.

BigEejit · 22-10-2011 4:37pm

First one of these I have seen .... there was a RR Vogue about 4 cars up from it and it looked to be 3 or 4 times the volume of this one.... Not keen on them tbh

Apologies for the crap pic, my blackberry is rubbish unless its high noon. first matt roller I've seen.... very unusual.

166man · 22-10-2011 4:53pm

A green 11 D Land Rover Evoque drove past me about a week ago forgot to post it, It was ok but quite noisy for a diesel anyway I thought..

Berty · 22-10-2011 4:56pm

Yes the Evoque has numerous different types of bodywork and other accersories. I was looking at one one Autotrader today:

media?id=1828938296

To this:

Bradleys in Galway have a good few which are all nice looking but I don't know about the 3 door. Bit weird.

That more than likely belongs to Martin Quirke (Dr. Quirkey). It's often around Thurles and parked up outside his home place.

This VW van should probably go in a vintage section but I like it anyway. I included the range rover in the pic for scale purposes only.

Not VW and not vintage looks like a japanese minivan made to look like a classic VW . P reg so late 96 early 97.

Jeez that first one looks weird!

Here's a review that was done on the Irish launch day...

One of these passed me in the Port Tunnel today. A lot better looking in the flesh than any photos I've seen.

challengemaster · 22-10-2011 11:48pm

It's all about the angle the photos are taken at really, cos of the shape of the car - same as the Juke

cjmcork · 23-10-2011 4:08am

re the evoque - they had one in the showroom in Maxwells in Blackrock, and I think it's a fab looking yoke, very Storm Trooper..........

Well, they're both sort of funny shaped cars compared to "normal" - and both tend to look better in person than in photos

Afraid I still haven't found an angle of the Juke that I like. The Evoque looks alright from the front, but like someone else above, to me it looks like it was stood on from the rear.

Absurdum · 23-10-2011 5:59pm

I thought the Evoque looks really small in the metal, no presence at all.

I'd agree with that - saw one in Tallaght yesterday, wasn't at all impressed.

Absurdum · 23-10-2011 6:12pm

it looks like an updated Honda HRV to me :P

a 'thanks' isn't enough on those pics - they're breath-taking!

Well when it's drinking 41.9 litres per 100km it's not surprising:D:D

challengemaster · 24-10-2011 9:59pm

whoever designed the wheels on it needs a slap, they're hideous

It could give out more. I dont think they have to give a measure above 999g. Its the max that is measured.

Im open to correction.

Plug · 25-10-2011 6:48am

I'd say the mechanic who changes the plugs on the Veyron would be close to suicidal thoughts. What a car though, We wont see a car like that for a long long time!

I don't know about that, I'd say he would be happily thinking on what to spend the 15k he is getting for a regular service.
