    Has anyone seen that yellow Lamborghini around dublin? the engine sounds fantastic and you can spot it a mile off! fantastic.
    Or if you own it please say so! :)

    Another thing. Has anyone seen that Dodge Viper wit the Californian registration? I saw it one day walking along Stephens Green.

    I saw the Lambo last time I was up in Dublin (January) cruising along the quays near enough to O'Connell St. By the time I'd found my digital camera, twas gone...

    I've seen a bright orange lamborgini diablo a few times around temple bar, I think it belongs to Damon Hill, he has a fancy car rental agency somewhere in dublin,

    Oh if thats too rich for you .. And considering the summer is coming in the Aston Martin DB7 Volante Vantage conv will be perfect @ €220,000 ... Thats a cool €7,172.18 over 36 months, excluding payment protection. According to his site ....

    Worth popping in and having a drool .. I used to when I was out on the road , every Friday there I'd be with me nose pressed up against the window .... AAAAAhhhhhh

    I've seen five diablos around dublin in the past two years (only one with an Irish reg iirc)... but yeah the sound is unmistakable.

    There was a lovely Ferrari Dino 246 GT parked on Merrion Sq facing the National Museum today.. now theres a car to drool over.

    That's a bit steep isn't it? I know there's a three year waiting list but the list is only Stg£90,000.

    Nope, change to euro then the add the extra VRT by doubling the price and adding a bit. VRT is pricey on those type of high end sports cars etc.

    Saw that Lambo last year in Tramore, t'was at the Max Power(or something like) show.

    It was the same one that was used on the Lotto ad with the farmer driving the Lambo pulling the trailer full of sheep.

    Unfortunatly it was only a kit car... still had the drawbar and all...
