    That Maybach is parked outside the hotel opposite the Dáil quite regualrly if anyone wants to check it out. It's usually there in the afternoon.

    Went into town today and saw a Bentley GT parked outside Trinity College and then a Bentley Arnage parked outside 'The Bank' in College Green.
    On the way out from town I saw an 05D Ferrari 612.
    I was up in Citywest earlier and a Northern reg (XCZ 6540) Red Ferrari 575M drove in behind me. I saw Mansfields Phantom and there was a new Bentley Flying Spur (05 D 70700) parked in front of the hotel. Red Ferrari F430 (05 D 430) was up there aswell.
    I have pictures of all of these and i'll post them when I get them on my computer.

    If some one could give a proper reason why registrations shouldn't be posted that doesn't start with "I know of.." or "I heard that.." I would love to hear it. :)

    On every motoring related sited I've posted to, pretty much everyone says it's a bad idea, and that should be good enough for you kid. They don't know why, but they know it's bad.

    The reason for not posting reg plates is because of "cloning"

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,891 ✭✭✭Kersh


    Here in work right now, an Alfa GT, Light grey/blue - but the plate on it is 06-D-67 - with the 67 manipulated to look like GT - its a class reg.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65

    Saw one of them on Sandymount strand today. If you search back through this thread, the Continental GT is probably the most mentioned/spotted car. Common as muck, as about as interesting....

    Popped into a friend in a main BMW dealer yesterday - working OT preparing cars for 06 reg - 400 of them no less!

    Anyway, out the back away from forecourt and prying eyes...

    Crap pic of a stored M1! (850 and mint E30 in background)

    Great find the M1.
    I think this might be the same M1 that sat in a delapidated showroom in
    Dundalk (near Pennys) for a long time around the early 1980s.

    I've seen a Californian reg. silver BMW M3 around the Templeouge area a few times. The reg. plate on it turns more heads than the car itself! ;)

    I've also seen a silver Bentley Continental GT in the short-term airport multi-story car park a few time, parked in the same place everytime I see it!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,886 ✭✭✭Calibos


    Last time I posted in this thread was after seeing a Bentley Continental GT on the Wyattville road off the N11 a few months ago. No cars of not seen since then until I saw a........Bently Continental GT up close in Bray yesterday! First one was an Irish Reg, this one was a UK Reg. Big Beast of a yoke!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,374 ✭✭✭Squirrel


    I saw an Aston DB5 in Crumlin the other day, I was on a bus at the time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,460 ✭✭✭Max_Damage


    I reguarly see a 1960's Aston Martin DB5 on the Airton Road in Tallaght. It's on a ZV plate. I think it is used as a everyday car :eek:.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,802 ✭✭✭bennyx_o


    Saw a Hummer H2 outside Clarehall today, no pic as I was driving


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 394 ✭✭AJ!


    Saw an 03 D Vanquish in Rathfarnham yesterday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 559 ✭✭✭Mac 3


    Open to correction of course, but that collection of BMWs (the M1, 850 and E30) looks like what was in Motor Import (BMWs Irish HQ) for a few years in the early 90's. Saw a blue Maserati Quattroporte in Tipperary on Jan1.

    A 05D 750i parked beside my 735i this evening. Nothing too spectacular you might think but it was to me. First time I actually really liked the look of the new 7. Why does it seem to take me 4/5 years to start liking new BMW models? It was the same when the E39 came out. I don't consider myself to be that conservative but maybe I am? :rolleyes:

    Stylish alloys too, more like audi A8 / merc S than any BMW alloys I've seen

    It's joining the S430/S500 on the shortlist for my next car for sure :D
