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

vectra

Something a bit different :cool:
Son of a schoolmate of mine bought this recently.

tc20

clearing pics off the phone, so the pics are over the last month or two..

The Maserati may only be a lowly 3.0D, but it has (imho) serious presence.

tc20

few more..I've never heard of the Honda before; it's similar to the Nissan Juke (but a bit easier on the eye)
The Renault talisman was posted here very recently (mondeoman?) - spotted in Spain, it's not a bad looking car, a bit like a scaled up Megane

Have to say, Maserati lost all panache for me when they introduced diesel to the range

I hear you, and felt similar when Alfa introduced turf burners to their line up.. however, if they are to survive, market demands an' all that... (awaits backlash about diesel not being the darling anymore etc...)

vectra

I wouldn't say no to a Ghibli 3.0 v6 diesel.

Nor would I, but prior to Diesel Quattroporte's existence, I'd have had one on my lotto shopping list, whereas now it's lost its desirability.

Fecker was driving too fast again for me to get it all but I got some of it

Ford F-250 Thurles still on New York plates. Seen this 2-3 months ago but didn’t have my iPhone in my hand. Must be based in or around the Thurles area

Was shopping in Athlone today and saw this X6 in the car park. Lovely parking by the way. Haven't ever seen one in the flesh, they're not pretty. Cut off the end of the car in side view as I was trying not to look conspicuous as it was so busy.

30d M-Sport X-Drive.

We have one in the family and they are fantastic actually.

In fairness he didn't say they weren't, he just said they look shlte.

Ah I didn't mean it in a smart way, just they may look ****e, but they drive so well you can forgive them. I was a backseat passenger in it today doing the ring of Kerry and it felt so planted on the road. I did feel carsick mind you..

Whoever that Alfa owner is, I both envy & respect him! That's definitely a car I can't wait to see hit the c.30k Mark. Absolutely stunning.

Agree. I have a used Giulia Veloce on the radar for a few years time. They'll probably hit mid teens in 3-4 years time. Will probably have to go to the UK for one as they are like hen's teeth here.

Lots of Giulias and Stelvios on the road in Italy when there on hols a couple of weeks back. Has anyone seen an Irish registered Stelvio? Nice car, but there's a depreciation nightmare if there ever was one.

Looks like it might be the same car as here:

Hoooly Phuck, I'll be waiting a while for that to hit 30k so!

Ha, not a chance. Demand and scarcity will keep second hand prices high.

I'd say a car like that will end up being sold abroad at some stage. You'd get a fair chunk of VRT refunded.

vectra

Not a car,
But first time seeing one of these in the flesh.
Cool looking bike.

Anyone seriously thinking of a used one in a few years time will most likely have to buy in the UK and import.

An Indian Scout Bobber 1133cc.
Now that there is a main dealer in Ireland and old skool type bikes are getting more popular you'll get more popping up I'd say.

I used to have bikes in my younger days and would still love an old school one, just to have it more than anything. But I can honestly say it is the first time in my life I have seen a bike with the Bike manufacturers name on the tyres :cool:.

Kenda Tyres which I believe aren't great.
I'd prefer to have something more sticky on a big v twin.
I also had bikes in my younger days.
Still have as I'm a sucker for a nice bike!:pac:

Except that the EU introduced a 25% tariff on US made motorcycles in July of this year in retaliation for Trumps tariff on EU steel.

Oh yeah, heard something about that alright.
Did they not soften their stance?
