Limerick Man....you hit a sore point re the arnage re calling it a pointless car. The 6.75 red label twin turbo is a pure and utter monster. The kit out of it is pure sumptous and goes like sh"t off a hot shovel.

I was more so refering to the 6.0 Bmw 7 series, i think the Arnage is a cracking car. Just in time's like this it's not much use to anyway:P

@eljono It was a 00. Very clean

I think it was a sports and classic stand, could be wrong though

Yeah no pretty sure all those cars were from sport and classic.

There was a black phantom up in DC's for a few weeks but it didnt have the rims and chrome vents.

Just back for Thruxton - drove the Cayman, F430 and the LP640 as well as being a passenger for a fast lap in the RX8 where the guy absolutely ripped the backside out of it!! I didnt think it was possible that the LP640 would be such a step up from the F430 but it was. An absolute beast (if a little impractical getting in and out!)

Very nice pics Baz :cool:

They're some cars! Where did you do that? How much did it cost if ya don't mind me asking?

Hi,
I know this is probably against the Spirit of the thread but I don't have my camera with me and its so unusual its worth posting,

Heres what I saw today, however the one I saw was silver.
Its a vw golf 'Country' it has a synchro badge so its all wheel drive. The suspension was jacked right up.



Much rarer than all those supercars ha

TheBazman

Thruxton race course down near Southhampton - I did the Italian Supercar experience (around £400). Its expensive and tbh you are probably finished in around 2 - 3 hours but still....its worth it. You go around 4 laps in the Mazda MPS with the instructor driving, then you drive the manual Cayman for 3 or 4 laps to get familiar with the track. Then its on to the big boys - The guy that sat in when I drove the LP640 actually owns it as well as the F430, the 355 and the Aston Martin.

I have a lot of pics but I might try to resize as they are probably a bit big

Graham_B18C

That sounds brill, i done it in a Gallardo, 355 and Vantage in a different place before, would love to drive the lp-640! And the F430! I gotta do it again soon...Just looked at their site, Suprised there's no GT-R

TheBazman

Its prob only a matter of time before there is a GT-R there

Omcd

what I saw today - brown fiesta with oversized bright yellow fittings (bumpers, wing mirrors etc) ..ugh

Wishbone Ash

8 series Beamers popping up everywhere! The recession?

redabbey

I was very interested to notice that the 8 series BMW in 1999 still had pop up lights. Does anybody know what year pop up lights were banned in the EU on cars? I understand that they can injure a pedestrian in an accident much more severely than cars without these types of lights.

niceirishfella

Circa 97-98 i fink

Max_Damage

The Lotus Esprit was the last car to have pop-up lights AFAIK . That finished production in 2004.

Absolutely love those 8 Series BMW's, great post.

Speedway

Apologies for the Quality of the pic, taken with my phone in the wee hours this morning but a Bentley flying spur parked outside my house.

(This is what it should look like with a good camera http://www.autobytel.com/images/2006/Bentley/FlyingSpur_staff/400/06_Bentley_FlyingSpur_06.jpg)

Lol, i meant it didn't last long as it said "Video not found" the first time for me. I've seen a DB9 around alright last year. No V8's though.

Yep went from here to Kileely and back. Went sideways a few times, mostly on purpose(in a safe and non dangerous way )

Getting up at 5am to drive to Dundalk for an hour and then come back. Its gonna be **** driving from Newport to Birdhill after that the trucks should have heated up the nationals roads a bit.

Yeah, gg on the 8 series - they're bloody stunning machines, enough power to take over a small country, so hopelessly bad at putting it down...!

I love those 8 series too, I was trying to justify paying the cars worth every year in tax and insurance in a couple years when Ill be able to get insured on one.
