Imported perhaps? I've seen a black one twice, (on the malahide road, possibly the same car mind you)

(sidetracking somewhat, the version thats going to be realised in the uk and ireland just set an even faster lap time round the 'ring, so we wont be getting a sanitised version, for once!)

GTR is not available here until 09, the ones that are here are imports.

Nice pics Wishbone and Slick

I know nothing about the GTR but the chap that was driving the one I posted runs a company which imports Jap cars.

...nice plate too!!

and an M3 soft-top

...not a great pic!!

Great Photos Robamerc, looks like the streets are literally lined with Ferraris and Astons over there.

I saw the X6 in Joe Duffy's yesterday in Silver, it's actually very nice in the flesh, looks poxy in any of the photos I've seen of it, no shortage of people taking it for a test drive either, there will be a rush to buy cars/soft roaders like that before July 1st.

Are there any Murci's in Ireland? I've seen loads of Gallardo's?

Plug · 01-06-2008 3:05pm

Theres a Diablo SV in kilkenny, I never have pics though. Its on Irish plates.

ramanujan · 01-06-2008 4:00pm

nice compilation tdc! good work.

I now have my digital camera in my glovebox !

Explosive_Cornflake · 01-06-2008 5:36pm

Not as nice as some of the ones mentioned here, but saw a few stretch S80's over here (Israel)

Plates were blank, I didn't edit them.

08 DB9, came off a transporter on the douglas road and sped off in front of me. Nice reg too, e92 spotted it in the city in january so it must have been just back from a service or something. Fantastic sound from it!

rebel.ranter · 03-06-2008 9:09am

Was in Kinsale yesterday saw these beauties. There were loads of XJS including Lynx special editions, S-Types, XJ6s etc. too, didn't bother snapping those. You can see in the background loads of other Jags that I didn't get to snap either. The two modern ones here were both XKRs. There others that were still out and about that we spotted when we left the hotel.
iPhone pictures so quality not 100%. Enjoy!

jozi · 03-06-2008 10:24am

Anyone know if there's a Porsche 959 around navan? Might have seen one from the bus home on the way home the other day.

Haven't been getting the notifications of new post from this thread lately

Some nice spots above!

Nah wasn't too young, greyish hair. I'd say 40s like.

The 1.4 astra I was in kept up with him (just about) though*

*even though it meant i lost a quater tank of petrol

Max_Damage · 03-06-2008 2:19pm

Here's a rarity this side of the Atlantic, I saw this Mercury Topaz in Rathmines earlier today, it had Illinois plates on it. AFAIK, they were the 'luxury' version of the Ford Tempo

Rowley Birkin QC · 03-06-2008 8:03pm

Thats up the Vee in Tippereary. Great drive if anyone is ever down that direction.

Head into Clogheen and head out the road towards the mountain.

Have to lol at the "messing wheels" on the Diablo, theres a lovely hairpin there just behind where the car is parked. :cool:

qz · 04-06-2008 9:33am

Sorry for the delay, trouble finding the phone cable. This thing looked unbelievable in the sun.

I bet you the fact that the company name on the back of that car (mac interiors), that it's prob being writing it off as a company expense:):);)

qz · 04-06-2008 9:49am

Sorry about the sizes of these, my phone reset itself and the resolutions were tiny. Range Rover Overfinch and an ancient Porsche. Owner of the RR also has an SL55 and an R32.

I've never understood how the Shelbourne can put (Garda) traffic cones on one of the busiest streets in Ireland to reserve places for expensive cars only. What are the parking restrictions on Single yellow lines?

Very nice Ferrari all the same, IMO the yellow ruins it, Red or Black only.

As for the Overfinch RR, after the Porsche Cayanne, I can't think of a better way to throw your money away. It never ceases to amaze me how little taste some people with money have.

delly · 04-06-2008 10:51am

Audi S5

smash · 04-06-2008 11:27am

maybe it's your camera but the paint looks crap

although I've seen a yellow F430 myself and they look nice

tdc · 04-06-2008 1:37pm

great pics qz, thanks for posting. i really like the 430 in yellow. ive never seen a 430 in ireland that wasnt red, black or grey. yellow is a bit different.

qz · 04-06-2008 10:13pm

steve06, it was the phone on my camera that gammied up the yellow, in the metal it had the same vibrancy as the pic you posted.

tdc, no hardship for me to take a photo of the beauty

How is a Range Rover throwing it away? Luxury car = depreciation over time like any car reallly.

dumbyearbook · 05-06-2008 3:23am

Radisson N11 today dealer show
Masser Sportage (?) thing at the end an a black 911 which was 2006 119K or £STG 85 whichever your preference!

jozi · 05-06-2008 8:18am

Are that all the Continentals in Ireland that have been recalled for a fault?

drunkdaz · 05-06-2008 8:23am

Even though I saw this in Mayfair (yesterday), I thought it was unusual enough to include here.

Zagato DB7; only 99 made. Nice to see it's actually being driven. Sorry for poor quality....

It's an overfinch, Sporty & 2.5 tonnes with the aerodynamic properties of a brick don't go together.

These owners pays a (very) large premium over the normal cost of the SUV to pimp it up and make it even more inefficient, shocking waste of money, if you want sporty buy a sports car and vice versa.

It's a bit like the Khan RR's they seem to only do the drug dealer package, blinged up to the 9's.

As for the comment about the Gardai police cones outside the shelbourne, in Steve06's photos of the Yellow Ferrari you can see that they are Gardai police cones.

What is the difference between a single and double yellow line?

Bendihorse · 05-06-2008 9:25am

Saw a red F430 convertable on Sunday in Tulsk Co.Roscommon, 08 D was the only part of the reg i caught, i was sitting in a car parked at a filling stn with driver in shop paying for petrol, by the time he came out it was long gone...

Didn't get a pic either

Stunning car on the move, it was like an apparition appearing up through the village of Tulsk lol
