Here's what I saw today, mark 3 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)

More pics from the car gathering. Sorry if they're a bit rubbish as from my phone. Best part was leaving at same time as a heap of them. 5/6 supercars in front of me and another 10+ behind as I merged onto the freeway and all put the boot down and shot off. My god the noise!

It's not often I would disagree with you TFB but that sounds like total rubbish. I own a car barely worth a grand. I once bought a BMW which cost 20 times that. We have an another BMW in the house which cost nearly 38 times the cost of my car. To say I am "feckless" driving one and not the other is rubbish. I'm not sure is that your own opinion or is it an opinion you believe the insurers hold.

That'd be the same opinion I would have to be fair. I was just saying it was an "old" car in a crash so it will in some ways reinforce their "statistics". That said it's only one vehicle.

Shouldn't have been trying to squeeze by on the cycle lane

Comfy.

BMW 1 Series M Coupé

(However my BWM anorak tells me the E87 was the 1 Series M Coupe and it didn't exist in the E82, so this may be a dolled up 135i or similar)

James Bond Junior

Above car did exist. 1M was released to much fanfare and critical success. Hailed as the natural successor to the e46 M3. They are commanding big money already and are very sought after.

Of course it existed. It's now called the M2.

R.O.R

I posted a pic of a 1M in the original HWIST thread, in May 2011. Looks like I probably hosted it on Photobucket as it's now not showing.

Considering its parked at an NCT centre I'd say its an import waiting to be VRT'd

Would you have to VRT a donor car?

Car was immaculate, dont think it was meant to be a donor.

On foreign plates, also LHD.

It's outside an nct centre anyway so 100% Ireland.
It's a US import though.

Didn't think Renault of this era lasted...

Was in California last week. Took photos where I could but missed the 2 McLarens.

Nearly every second car was a Tesla, saw a good few P100Ds.

The green truck is a mid 50's Willys pickup.
The grey 2 door is a mid 80's Chevy Monte Carlo.
The convertible is not a Cadillac but a 1958 Chevy Impala.
The lowrider with the disability badge is a 75/76 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

Saw a 171 Volvo S90 this morning on the canal. Complete with taxi plate and decals. Quite an expensive car to have as a taxi this early in its lifetime I thought...
