Thanks the only reason I asked Im considering getting one now theyre cheaper!

Just don't tell me how much they are now cause I paid many moneys for mine ;[ The focus isn't as rapid as with my old K750i, but for super clear stationary shots you can't beat the C902 imo.

Saw a new Arbarth 500 in white today in mallow. Not a bad little car, not my cup of tea. Big bumper on the front and a few scorpion stickers. I got a crap photo on the phone, I'll try and get it on when i find the cable.

Ok, lets do a quick poll, whats the best spot to date on this thread? (Irish ones only!)

Id vote for the Ferrari F50 seen in the multistory. I know that there is at least one of these in the country.

I got speaking to the owner of the Irish F50 recently. He's invited me down to his house for a weekend to view, tinker around with, and possibly drive his cars.

His stable is pretty impressive:
-Diablo
-Murcielago (the red one posted a short while ago)
-F50
-F430
-F355
-Lotus Esprit

Needless to say pics will follow ;] And yes I am a fortunate bastard.

Here's his toys anyway, pic taken from a brochure

That F50 was a really good spot, though it was only visiting here. The RHD F50 (same owner as the red Murcielago) was sold in the UK last year so its not here anymore. There was one more that was seen in a car park in town and the pic showed a cheeky ****er sitting on the wing! So thats 3 F50's that have been seen in Ireland!

Red Murcielago was good, as was the SE40 (though we never really got a clear pic of it!). Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe that was seen on the M50 last year. Diablo SE30 is in the first few pages of the thread, seen in Sligo IIRC.

Probably many more, just cant think right now

That was a kit car as far as I remember.

And unfortunately the Purple SE wasn't Irish registered.

I love this from the thread about the lambos though

Now, I know the car he was talking about, it's not Funkys car, but it was real and it's now in the UK.

I'd have to say that the white Bugatti Veyron up North was the best spot, or was it seen down South too?

Hardly a unique spot, is it? Sure the car it's based on, the VW Phaeton, is a far more exclusive and interesting car.

My boss has a VW phaeton. Not all that exclusive. Seen a few in the North. It is not interesting at all. He loves to say it shares many parts with the Bently. Still a VW though. Has lovely extras and compared to a 7 series or S class is value when bought second hand in the North. But it still looks like an oversized passat.

No more unique than the M3s, M5s and R8s that populate the thread, but I thought someone may enjoy it.

If I see a Phaeton, I'll be sure and take a picture of it! :rolleyes:
