Here's what I saw today (Please read the rules before posting)

BostonB

They had a Audi R8 on Baggot St today for the launch of it in Ireland. Looks much better in the real life than it does in photo's IMO.

Coming off the m50, and then through stillorgan. I need to correct myself, it wasnt a 430 looks like it was a 550. One of the m3's was pulled in on the hard shoulder, dark pearl navy, uk reg

No idea. In a restaurant court yard opposite BOI HQ. Seemed an odd place for a launch IMO.

On that note, anybody spotted any M5 Touring's yet?

I did actually in Portugal recently. Looked brilliant! Didn't have a camera with me the day I saw it though....

Think that would be L'Ecrevain or summat like that, very posh, very expensive, prefer burger king meself ;-)

I sotted an Octavia Scout yesterday. I have never seen one in the flesh. I didn't bother with a photo though, for fear of a right oul flaming!!!

BMW Ireland - and on the Stillorgan dualer, both yesterday. Both sent to my phone from people who know I am a car freak

As far as I know the MD of BMW Ireland is driving it.

@ MarkN - The new M3 looks amazing, thats a great find. Love the colour!

I seen an M3 CSL the other day myself - a real rarity!



Also this GT Mustang - the view is barely worth posting, but it had a nice grunt to it!

I saw a shelby cobra coming back from Kinsale on Sunday. Dark grey with black stripes.Looked and lounded fantastic. I was on my motorbike at the time so no pics unfortunately.

Wishbone Ash

Maserati Quattroporte Executive GT



Porsche 911 Carrera 4S



Citroen C6 (apologies if these are commonplace but I don't think I've seen one in the flesh before!)

antodeco

Great pics wishbone! Were the all taken at the airport? AFAIK the Dublin Lord Mayor has a citreon C6.

That m3 CSL is very nice looking!

Yup, Car Park A - that happy hunting ground of car spotters!

saw a super rare car today (in that I've never even heard of the make let alone seen it). It was a SsangYong Kyron think its a German car or something

kikel

Believe it or not their are loads around. They also made the Musso which was failrly popular here. The also make the Rodious which is the ugliest people carry around.\

:eek: Are you serious? They are everywhere!

miju

well as i said it was super rare for me cos ive never even heard of the bloody thing. in my 5 odd years of motoring ive never come across one at all and i do a fair bit of driving


*me goes of to sulk in corner

Seen a 2007 BMW M6 today. Unbelivable car, friend of mine was driving one for a few weeks too. More power than ive ever seen in my life.

tdc

MarkN, that new M3 is an amazing spot, u really deserve a pat on the back for sharing it with everyone! great picture, car looks savage.

a few weeks ago i saw an 07 red 335i with black schnitzer wheels, full M-sport bodykit. At first, as it was coming towards me I thought it was the new M3 but then thought there couldn't be any over here yet. I'm delighted to see that there is one here!

That new M3 is a sweet find!!!

One of my neighbours drives this eyesore on wheels. Its the biggest ugliest pile of ****e I've seen in quite some time. Dunno why she drives that wagon, she's only got two kids.

MarkN

well like I said, I didn't take a pic of the M3 myself, had I done I would've got the side, rear, wheels, interior..

To be fair, ALL Ssang Yong 'products' are desperately ugly....

Only one I've ever seen is that one! Driven by Peter Dennis of HB Dennis.

Also - I think the Mayor of Dublin has an Espace, saw it last week in town and was surprised as it's normally a saloon. 07D1 so I presume it's his

I bet there was a fat enough lad driving the csl?
I saw that car twice in kilkenny.

Sorry gents but I really don't like the new M3 at all. It's lost a lot of its aggression and I've seen nicer 335i's out there.

The Audi RS4 is a much more appealing looking beast.

Now this is hillarious, possibly the only Cayenne to ever go off tarmac in Ireland and it gets stuck in mud thats an inch deep, in front of a huge crowd !

Well spotted Jovi !

Spotted this leaving work this afternoon. Dunno what it is though.
