Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

This is NOT a standard A4. If you count something with close to €20k of extra's on as standard - what the hell are you doing in the motors section?

In fairness, its just another A4 ... If I seen it on the road I wouldn't be bothered to even look twice. nevermind post a pic up here..

I like the colour though. Had it on a prev car and it was a bit*h to keep.

I've no photos, but saw a silver 09 Range Rover Sport in City Centre yesterday evening. I remember someone posting an excel sheet here saying LandRover only sold 1 car here or something, may be this was that car..!

Excuse me, and I don't mean to take this OT any more, but I don't care if someone stupid enough to put 40K worth of extras into a bog standard A4(even though 20K of extra's in a boggo A4 is worthy of a trip to St. Pat's in itself), unless it's and S4/RS4 or better it has no place here.

I would suggest you have no place in the motoring section if you go all fuzzy over 2.0 TDI's or 2L t's

FFS this thread has really hit rock bottom

Funxys cars appear in every few weeks and theres a ritual that goes on everytime they do:
first somebody says "those plates arent legal, the owner is a complete tosser"

then someone will start a thread on octane.ie saying "there talking about funxy on boards.ie again! lets go and start a big argument"

then steve06 will post here jumping to her defence in the hope that he'll get another spin in her lambo if he stands up for her - sure he'd probably take a bullet for her if she let him drive the thing

then everyone calms down and someone says "shes a real car enthusiast, so what if she has dodgy plates" and all is forgotten

a week or 2 later funxys lambo/lotus/tvr is posted and we go through the same process again

and lads less of the everyday audis, regardless what the extras on the car cost - i see merc s-classes with 30k worth of extras all the time so should i post about them??

and please stop with the "is that audi a5 meteor grey or quartz grey?" discussions...

sorry for the rant, just saying what most of us are thinking

.....

sorry for the rant, just saying what most of us are thinking

Just to let everyone who may be thinking the same know. I am a regualr on Octane. Indeed there was a thread started there last week when i was personally insulted twice by a boards poster. Not surprisingly some people came to my defence which is more then can be said for any mod on boards. Steve is a friend of mine who i actually met on boards.ie not on octane. He is a regular poster here and i am sure if someone was having a go at your friend you might stand up for them? I never even got a chance to defend myself last time around and i can't hold my tongue on this one.

Octane.ie is an enthusiasts site and 2 times in a year a thread has been started about people attacking others on boards.ie. I am sure as you and many other know it's not the most friendliest of places. I would still like to be a part of it but obviously over time it is becoming more apparent that octaners are not welcome here. Can't we just get over this already and talk about cars

I don't think the begrudgery has anything to do with the fact that you, or anyone else is on octane.ie. I personally, and i'm sure this goes for everyone else on boards.ie don't hold grudges against other posters who are on other forums. I'm on plenty of other forums, and there seems to be alot of lads likewise on here...

Fairly sure i'm on octane as well.

right boys and girls ..cleaned up the thread a bit (deleted some non car related nonsense)

You can now post again, under the following conditions:

- the funxy argument stops here, everybody had their say, we're done !
- the Audi S line argument stops as well
- nobody opens any-spin off threads any time soon

Basically, continue as normal ...post what you saw, as the title says.

I'm very tired of having to clean up this thread every fortnight. Anyone deviating from the above conditions will receive a one month ban

Not the greatest pic and I'm sure that there are many already posted here but I drooled as I saw this one parked up outside the office yesterday. It must have had a recent waxing as it was absolutely spotless and shining. Those two Golfs are in good company...

I thought I'd see what kind of HWIST cars I could come across by doing a quick lap of the industrial estate before home time.

Not a bad haul...

Cayman S

Classic VW Camper - tasty!

Morgan

Some sort of Lancer?

And this beaut is a Merc G-Wagen, except it's actually a Daimler Puch in Left Hand Drive. Quite a rare machine!!

I know who owns it, so if you want close up pics it can be arranged.
If you want pics of my mate draped seductively across the bonnet, that'll cost you extra .

Sorry guys,

Just think i need to explain my post from sunday. I was not begrudging nor jealous the colour would not be my choice but i didn't know how else to discribe it.

Fair play to the owner, even better knowing that it is a motor enthusiast who owns it rather then somebody who aint into cars.
Even more fair play to the fact i was unaware it was the same person who owns the 07 w 7 etc.

Funxy im sorry for nearly causing an international incident

Your friend, now that you explained, was actually looking more hungover then posing, but to the casual person looked like posing.

I wanted to take a pic but my other half would not let me.
I didn't realise id start a wee bit of an argument.

That looks like it was outside Sport and Classic in Parkwest? I often see a few nice machines over there. Passed a new Skyline on the road on the way in this morning (rather it passed me) but i didnt have time to get the phone out.

Ah yes, you see what had me confused. At the back of the car, the sun is shining on it and it makes it look like it's a chrome lip around a light. Sound man, gorgeous car.

I figured I'd look for the cable for my phone and post up some pics only to realise I have nothing special to add I should have some pics on the camera thou (which is at home) Anyway here goes:

The very common Yellow Lambo:

ASton DB6 (looks to be a daily driver, surely spotted a few times)

Last time I seen one of these they where on a truck, 1st i've seen:

EDIT: That Lambo is probably more orange than yellow
