Seriously? I'm disgusted. :eek: Its a perfect replica in the skin. SAD that he got the plate too.

Mightn't be the same family so cos the guy that had the 00 M5 likes his performance. Had a boxster S too at one stage.

Well there was a reason that I said it was " A BMW M5 "

I saw an A4 with S4 badges, body kit, etc and the reg 01-KK-4 yesterday. A quick look at cartell reveals it to be (surprise surprise) a 1.9 TDI :pac:

Aside from the IRL logo on the blue EU-band, did the plate "look" Irish i.e., was it black on white, was the lettering style familiar, etc. ?

Was the car itself LHD or RHD ?

I'm intrigued !

Type 17

Foreign reg (not sure from which country), but either the plates got damaged/stolen and he got those made up here (try getting your own local plates made up in a foreign country...), or they were changed to blend in a bit better (most people reading this thread would still notice, but most of the general public wouldn't).

I've seen a few recently (unfortunately the camera on my Nokia N95) is so slow I couldn't get a photo, but there seem to be two types

1. normal plates, usually D, with an oval sticker on the car itself
2. a CD squashed onto the plate itself, like 09-D- CD 12345, now would that fail the NCT I wonder?

I even saw a CC (a rank lower than CD) on a Fiesta

Is there no mention of the required format in the statute book?

"HIS 1" used to be on a Merc estate in Mayo. Dunno if its still around. I think it was sold separately from the car.

Unlike most countries, we don't have a separate series for diplomatic vehicles in Ireland (just as we have no military series, public service series, etc.) so yes, adding "CD" or "CC" is totally illegal and ought to ensure a fail at NCT time (though I suspect that such vehicles have a set of non-altered plates to be put on at NCT time in order to pass !

Saw an old LWB 735i in Arklow rolling on huge chrome wheels, blacked out windows. It had either N1GGET, N199ET, NIGG3T or some combination of the three. Thought it was pretty funny until I saw a white guy driving it :eek:

Edit: none of those show up on cartell but it definitely read nigget

Type 17

Probably N16 GET

I used to see a guy in a large Merc around dublin with the reg N1 XER

Saw G4RY L on what looked like an evo in tralee last week.

I saw MAD911S yesterday on Eastwall Road heading for the port - a 2007 Carrera 4 S according to Cartell.

Saw a Porsche Carrera Coupe in Clane last Friday with GB plates S60 UPE but spaced so as to read S 60UPE - moving rather fast so no chance of getting a picture unfortunately !

donvito99

Saw a Lexus LS 430 in south Dublin the other day with a 9*-LS-430 reg.

Also saw a Ford Ka and a Porsche 911 beside each other, the Ford Ka's reg being 98-D-911!

Redisle

No idea if it's already been posted but recently I saw
03-LM-3 on a Yellow! :eek: M3 around Cork.

JCDUB

Didn't go checking through the whole thread so I don't know if this was mentioned before, but I did see a nice one a few years ago.

One of those old bad-ass Lotus Opel things, (Omega I think) in racing green with B11 OYS on it.

Obviously a Celtic fan..

Never got a pic:mad:

Dealer pre-reserved it then realised he was never gonna sell a 520 this year I guess... mywheels confirms that its definitely on a 318 anyway!

According to cartell 98-d-911 is a 911 not a ka

Why do people keep trying to check to see if posters are lying all the time? Awful sad imo.

Sure the LS430 wasn't even out in the 90's, only released in 01 i think. So i'd say he got it mixed up mith a LS400.
