Marcinek_55 · 11-09-2011 10:29am

jozi great pictures - specially the night one - love the Lamborghini...

can you see yourself on that photo:

By the way - you was stay beside my on start lane on crossing cause you have the same photo of SLS when they drive away, did you walk on the middle of road when garda stop the traffic :?:

jozi · 11-09-2011 11:41am

Thanks guys, I like the night time ones more so than the morning ones myself.

Marcinek_55: I was over by one of the pedestrian crossings, I might have moved a little to the middle of the road. Don't suppose you were the guy sitting there waiting who I asked was he there last year as well?

We should have you know, I was staving by the time they kicked off! Could have thanked him in person as well for the many excellent pics he contributes to the thread

Crooked reg on the 911 :rolleyes: Looks off centre too - perhaps the angle.

Going for the 'rat look'

ARGINITE · 12-09-2011 9:04am

Le mans 6Hrs at Silverstone. Sorry about the size no time for post processing yet.

smash · 12-09-2011 2:13pm

A car just drove straight into the window in O'Briens in sandyford...

deaglan169 · 12-09-2011 2:15pm

Remember kids - don't drink and drive!

Berty · 12-09-2011 2:50pm

Must have been really thirsty but YES like others I SPOTTED THE BIKE FIRST. :eek:

Typical petrolhead.

R.O.R · 12-09-2011 2:53pm

Valetors at it again?

CharlieCroker · 12-09-2011 5:59pm

Oh lovely!!!

Thats one of the new advanced paramedic Harley's based in loughlinstown. I'm amazed that the HSE hasn't rolled out more motorbikes. A large amount of calls they go to doesn't require a full size ambulance an these lads are normally on scene in about 10 minutes at the longest

Do-more · 12-09-2011 7:53pm

What, no tight leather jeans at the Cannonball this year?

Unless there's a gap of less than 6' in traffic, or it has to go around a 90deg bend! ANY Jap or Euro tourer would be faster, better handling, lighter and more economical than H-Ds.
The H-D were the best price and nobody tried to use it as a bargaining chip with the other brands. Amazing really.
In other news, the HSE choose Corvettes instead of Nissan GTRs for fast response cars.

challengemaster · 12-09-2011 10:10pm

Funnily enough, the fire service in the UK have Evo X's as fast response cars

Saab Ed · 12-09-2011 11:18pm

Been a long time since i've seen one of these

I took this follow up this morning

Marcinek_55 · 14-09-2011 3:37pm

I saw 02D SL with SL73 AMG sticker but motoecheck said is SL500 i have one photo in case if it would be SL73 AMG, so i don't know if you want to see that

It's phone photo.

The SL500 is no engine to be sniffed at. Its a beast of a thing. Why someone would want to make themselves look like an absolute twat and put SL73 AMG on it ill never know. If people know what AMG is then they will know there is no SL73 AMG or any 73 AMG in existence. So it will never impress ANYONE

The auto museum in Brussels had one the last time I was there, so they do exist.

They also had a Mercedes CLK GTR whick was a nice piece of kit.

Well thats embarrassing...

Victor_M · 15-09-2011 3:19pm

Spotted these in Albuquerque yesterday they sure love their pick-ups, Harley's & guns over here.

Do-more · 16-09-2011 9:35am

I wonder how that works out for him on a daily basis? :rolleyes:

That's truly outrageous. A 330 grand car being sold under false pretences. Either that or the guy bought it the day before.. :rolleyes:

I was annoyed when my car was sold to me with 35 miles on the clock, having seen it first with 8 miles on delivery day (I ordered it).

I saw that SLS being driven near Templeogue yesterday. It's putting on mileage all the time.

SHould the dealer have the benefit of the doubt that the 0km on the ad is an error?

I suppose, the ad was last updated 38 days ago

http://www.carzone.ie/search/Mercedes-Benz/SL-Class/SLS-AMG-/201116202113510/advert?channel=CARS

if it's updated with 0 miles then that's bad form...

Marcinek_55 · 16-09-2011 1:52pm

That SLS is probably sold (no update on carzone), but if i know there is no new car with 0km on odometer. Every new car should has 10-20km - it's a factory test drive. Someone said that Seat was delete odometer to 0km - it's illegal. In Germany for deleting odometer is big fine and big problem and if i remember up to 3 years in prison.

Just on that point, my then new car had over 100km's on it after a day long testdrive. I decided to do a deal on it, arrived back the following week ready to pick up and it had 7km's on it..

Audi S and RS models are delivered with anywhere from 40-100km on them due to quality checks and road testing before delivery.

Re that SLS - i saw it been driven in Liffey Valley back in July. Its pic is in the monster HWIST thread. Search there for it.

-Chris- · 19-09-2011 8:46am

I saw this in Sandyford last week. Not just a beast of a car, but probably rarer in ROI than a Ferrari/Lambo too!

bijapos · 19-09-2011 10:24am

Dundrum last Friday, according to cartell it's genuine, nevre seen one here before.

Berty · 19-09-2011 11:15am

Ok It maybe a Hyundai but it is not a listed Hyundai for sale in Ireland although this is a Dealer Car from Limerick Motor Centre.

It is a 1.6 Petrol Hyundai Velostar as per Cartell.ie 11-D-36500

Here is what the press says it look like

It is nice......................for a Hyundai.

BTW The car in the picture is Left Hand Drive

qz · 19-09-2011 12:17pm

A new black Citroen DS5 has arrived near to my house on UK plates, will get a snap next time I'm out.

Forgot to post - I saw a Nissan GTR there on friday, and I know a friend of the owner... No pics yet, but hopefully we'll see about that

Dazza Mc kenna · 20-09-2011 9:28pm

Saw this today

challengemaster · 20-09-2011 9:37pm

Saw a new-style A5 with S-line kit in matte black with a clearcoat on it, looked absolutely mint.

Passed by me and was gone before I even got the phone out of the pocket

That's a Pinzgauer - serious off road machinery.

Austrian origin, but made under license in the UK I think now.

JJJJNR · 20-09-2011 9:58pm

Amazing looking machines, and very rare.

MarkR · 21-09-2011 8:30am

M7 Service Station

glynf · 21-09-2011 8:37pm

V10 Touareg. Wanted one since I saw the 5th gear clip with the 747. Beast of an engine.
