In Clondalkin around lunchtime today. Original Audi 100 (around 1968). Haven't seen one for at least 10 years. Similar yellow as this one:

The driver looked like he might very well be the original owner

Right, saw this thing again this morning, same one on the same stretch of road so I'm bringing the camera from now on. At least I know I wasn't seeing things. With a closer look I realised it's not a convertible, had read leather seats, two only and it had twin exhausts, centered and about 12 inches apart. It's really wrecking my head now.

But what really made me look was a 05 D Merc that was behind it. It wasn't any model I've seen before, very small. Looked a bit like a Street Ka from the rear, similar size and shape but the rear cluster was definetly sifferent. Has anyone else seem this or know what it is?

Saw a sky blue Maserati Quattoporte in Liffey Valley shopping centre cap park a few days ago. The permatanned and aged businessman left the rear passenger side window open about 4 inches when he was walking away from it. I went after him and told him, he said 'jeez you're very observent', i said 'i tend to notice cars like that'.

Saw two separate DB9s and a Bentley Continental GT today.

Is it my imagination or are there way more exotic cars in Dublin than there were even a year ago?

100% sure it had a merc badge front and rear, whether they are part of an original merc car I don't know. It can't be the A or B class as it only had two seats.
