saw this little beauty on my way home on the M3 last night.



it's a screen grab from my hands free video recording via my mobile phone in a suction mount cradle before anyone asks.

it's actually a great little app called Autoguard for android phones that works with your accelerometer to automatically record the last x minutes of your drive in the event you have an accident so you can prove (hopefully) that any accident wasn't your fault.

if anyone is interested in it (i'm not affiliated with it btw), please send me a PM and i'll pass on the details so we won't derail the thread.

There used to be an old red one in Thurles a few moons ago now. Maybe same car?

No, he lives in Nenagh. It was red though and only happened last year. It was an ex ceo's car in England, he'd folders of history/invoices/mots with it. My friend flew over to England for a week or two, hired a car and did some serious driving around the place looking at Esprits and came home with it.

That's a red one that actually lives in Nenagh next door to my old boss.

I remember I had to go to his (boss's) house one day and on the way over my calliper (BMW) seized AGAIN! When I got there I spent quite some time gawking at the Lotus and forgot about my own troubles

EDIT: Feck ya beemerfan :mad:

Hal1

Seen a light blue '06 lambo at Tallaght, a '90 911 (I think) around Wicklow area, some old classic's (triumph's by the look of them) in convoy in Annanmoe, Wicklow and an orange FST northbound on m50. I was fairly chuffed to see all those.

I wouldnt have asked, spotting cars and taking snaps can keep you alert, instead of dosing off. Also it would be better to have the phone in your hand instead of in the suction cradle in case you need to reply to a text or answer a call.


my comments are not wise ones, i have not been paid a gratuity for them, readers should be over 18, boards.ie does not accept responsibility for my comments, terms unconditions apply

JMSE

but anyway heres one i got uhh from my suction cradle mount thing, anyway, it was a few months ago but scandalous nonetheless...

A pair of DeLorean's by the sea.

Berty

Although like most red blooded males I would love a DeLorean I think they are pretty ugly cars other than a few small things I like on it like the headlights and the doors. Overall its pretty woeful.

I know............I can't believe I think that way either.

Didn't get to many good one's, I forgot the battery to my good camera and was left with an ancient compact. Most of the action pics I took were out of focus due to some marks on the lens.

Saw these two when out for a stroll:

Alfa 156 GTA


And an XK supercharged V8

LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!





Seen in Berlin a couple of weeks ago.

waxon-waxoff

Heres some pictures from the start of the Gumball rally in London


























This Renault 4 has a V6 from a Clio fitted.



Two Irish drivers in it, Shane Lynch of Boyzone was driving a Ford F150 and drift racer Butsy Butler was in this Supra.

Alanstrainor

Savage!

Plate inside said "One of 450" - wonder if it that means no.1?



Most folks in Motors say they wouldn't want a 1-Series - wonder if this is still the case?

Chriscl1

That 1 series m coupe looks stunning. Nice little video of it here http://www.topspeed.com/cars/bmw-m1/ke2536.html
Looks like great fun.

Owen

The Renault 4 ... isn't that supposed to be Top Gear's car for the Rally?

Plug

Must be limited edition like the CSL. They probably are the UK cars(RHD) though.

Not a fan of the 1-Series hatch but do like the coupé. A friend of a friend has a white 120d coupé and it looks the business. The 1M (is this how it'll be referred as?) looks class and is supposed to be a cracking car to drive. Henry Catchpole from EVO did a vid review of it a while back and if my memory serves me correct, it was a glowing report. I'll take mine in black or gun metal grey please...
