Don't worry - there's another (purple) one in Belfast

Yeah I was thinking that. Somebody called the Lambo purple and then green and then turquoise so I thought it was the same car.

This morning on the Stillorgan Dual Carriageway I saw a beautiful black BMW M5. No biggie, I suppose, except the reg read 06 D 115, but the first number 1 was flopped (legal?) so the reg actually read as 06 D M5. Didn't get a pic unfortunately but it was pretty sweet.

It sounds naffer than it is. I usually hate personalised plates, but it looked pretty good.

You sure you're not thinking of the Chrysler 300C taxi ?
I was in it a few days ago and it does look very Bentley'esque from the front.

Someone told me that they saw a Bentley taxi the other day, and I suggested it was a 300c too. I showed them a picture and they said that was it, so you could be right there.

I am over at the UK at the moment. I have to agree with all the coments around here about UK cars, They are a touch of class. Have snapped a few nice images too which I will upload when I get home tomorrow.

It's obviously some rich fcuker who wants to use the bus lanes, hence buys himself a taxi plate. I've seen Michael O'Leary with one on top of his SL500.....If you have it, flaunt it!

What model is the Bentley Taxi? Is it a Flying Spur or an Arnage...?

If you look at a 300C you'll find it has a very ugly gridded grille and a horrible rear end which this particular vehicle didn't
