It has cached on your machine.

Yes that would be Brian's M3 - he has got some serious talent taking it around the track, especially for someone who has only done 4 trackdays :cool:

BFassassin

I've seen this Cooper S before, a girl driving it, expensive paint job on a pricey car.... caught a pic in Dundrum yesterday!

That is one ugly paint job!! Such a shame on such a nice car

I don't think it's too bad, but I'd have to go for the baby blue or gun metal grey.

Saw that Hartge M5 today, a Morgan, a CL55 and a gorgeous black/black Continental GT: 05-?-50000. I know it's teasing without pics, so here you go, Irish reg. and all!

I still have not got a spin in it yet, but he certainly can drive, apart from the little mishap with the tyre wall!! Must see if he feels like taking a spin down to Galway soon.....

So do you like girl racers then.... I see a lot of girls these days with modified 206's and yaris's, most of them look like D4 heads too. Seems like the modified car industry is becomming more wide spread in Ireland these days. I've thought about getting some skirts and new bumpers but I aint gonna mod my car, draws too much attention from people who want to race you, and the police will pull you over more and it depreciates the value a lot.

Jeeeyazus.

An Arnage, and about 10 spaces down, a CLS 55, and right beside it, an SLK 55!
Oh and an e39 M5, and the obligatory Continental GT.

So do you like girl racers then

Ferrari 360 Spyder driven by a not unatttractive smiley blonde from Brown Thomas car park, fair play as she threaded it through Dublin, the 360 seemed so wide when I was folllowing it.

Then as I was walking into BT initially I saw the GT40, it had trade plates jammed in the back window and was gone when I got back an hour later, but at least someone is actually using it. Thought the interior was a bit low-rent when I peeked through the window...

AJ!

Jesus that's a good day. I've seen the blonde in the Ferrari a few times but I've never seen the GT. Right place at the right time...:rolleyes:

MercMad

I had a spin in an SL55AMG yesterday.................phuck me these things can shift...........acceleration is unreal................any rpm/any speed just plant it and hold on !

Sweet !

The GT is something else, smashing looking car.... And a not unatttractive smiley blonde in a ferrari - sounds perfect

@ Rabbitin lights - was that your mate that crashed the Bemmer into the tyres on the BMW day - I was instructing on the back circuit when that happened, we all laughed... sorry if it was him..

No wonder, it's got more than 700NM torque

The SL65AMG has 1000NM, nearly twice that of an M5! :eek:

Kersh

That was an E36 M3 - touched the dirt and side swipe... Not a huge amount of damage believe it or not, more cosmetic dents than anything else :eek:

rabbitinlights

No my mates is a M3, it wasnt at the last day, the one before that, only slight damage to the front splitter, nothing huge.

yesterday evenening on the way home in Colnskeagh this F430 spider was a few cars in front of me in traffic, snapped a shot as it turned the cornor at ashtons.

My after work activity yesterday was piloting this 7 litre 6 cylinder beast around Kildare for 4 hours. Great fun! especially staring down a Starlet Glanza tool who was driving too fast.

7.5 litre actually ... and about 620Nm of torque. Just don't ask about the the 0-100km time.

He he was trying to keep it short and believable as a car!! Should have mentioned the tiptronic gearbox with full auto in high range.. Big change from the last one we had, Fiat Newholland F140.

Just saw it driving down harcourt street. Lovely sound from it.
