I've got a 750iL in for repairs today, dark blue on U.K. plates. Is it the same car? I'll get photos tomorrow if I think of it.

This was dark blue, and on UK plates. Must be the same car, they aren't exactly common.

195 my arse, it would lift off the ground driving over 60 - have you ever driven one, they're so sh1t. going around a roundabout you take your life into your hands.....

I'm guessing he will have modded the suspension after throwing that much money at the engine. Cinqs modded and set up properly handle incredibly well apparently. If lads can put 220bhp through the front wheels of a Mini, I dont see why they cant with a Cinq

Two more pics of the 300c Taxi :

TBH , I dont think the Chrysler 300 CRD is really all that special , yes when you see the first one there is a certain WOW factor , but now there are lots knocking around and although they are big on the outside , inside they are not great ( Very American) ..


Plus there are a lot of other Taxi's out there worth just as much if not more ..


Now , Where's that Bentley ???

AJ!

Does anyone know if this Diablo is Northern registered? It's got a GB sticker on it but they look like Northern plates?




Sorry for interrupting the thread, I didn't know where else to post this question:)

Although a lot of English cars have NI plates, as they don't date.

An upgrade for Unkel, perhaps?

There ain't no itch yet even after 2.5 years. First time for me! Can't see the point in getting another E38, not even a V12 and the E65 is only starting to tickle my fancy and it is way out of budget for a good while yet. The only other contender that made it to the short list is the superbly styled W220. Classic great MB looks. Have never actually driven one yet and the ones I was a passenger in had quality issues. Silly little things like broken handles, mirrors, etc.

My Father In law used to own a MERC S600 V12. Have to say it was a mighty thing to be driven in....only thing was he drove 40 miles a day and it cost him €200 a week in juice. The rear tyres cost €600 and he replaced them twice in the 18 months he kept the car. During the floods in 2002 he tried driving through a big puddle and the on board computer went belly up...he had to get it towed and it cost a pretty penney to be fixed.

Spotted this sitting on a street in Bangkok

Was happy to see this pull into my drive way today My sisters mate unexpectantly pulled in. IF only I knew she had an E55 AMG i'd of gone in a spin







I think the blurs show how fast it is

Have a short video clip of it pulling off too, Unfortunetly due to techincal issues with my camera :mad: :mad: I only got a short one and its terrible. Ill see can I get a spin in it 1 day soon. That thing can pull nice wheel spins too, Jeez, Pulling out of my driveway wheelspinning. :rolleyes:

Saw a white Lotus Esprit on the Old Bawn Road in Tallaght on Friday morning. It had Irish plates, but didn't catch the year of it.

Was in work last week, just down the road from the Stenna Line terminal in Dublin Port, and I hear this car coming down. Went outside to look, and it wa a Vauxhaull Monaro in red. The noise off it was beautiful. Didn't get a chance to get pictures.

Purple M6, Blue M5 on M-Way near Swords about 1030 this morning. Countless Bentley GT's in Manchester over the weekend (yawn), didn't have time to get my phone out for the DB9 that was obliterating the outside lane on the way to the airport last night.

DB7 Volante on M50 last week

I saw a white AC Cobra in Puerto Banus last summer...wasn't really impressed by it. It didn't stand out at all.

There's a nice M3 CS in cavan, i posted pic before of it.
It's the one with a spoiler :eek: dark blue, maybe you remember it?
See it around a good bit, he live down the road in some of the estates i heard?

I've nothing against modifying car, once its done right, a spoiler on a M3 i can forgive him for that BUT putting a CSL badge on the car is just a joke :mad: And its not even a CSL badge like in the pic below

it's just 3 letters on the left side of the trunk :eek:

Couldnt believe he'd do that to a car that prob cost him the guts of 100k but at least he's not afrraid to drive it hard

Currently in Atlanta, Georgia. Too many cars to mention but was parked beside this Bently last night. Funny thing in the backseat was a babyseat...didnt get a pic of it. Also saw a Convertable Chrysler 300C...totally pimped out...took a pic but I was a bit far away from it.

Anyone else think Bentleys are too popular these days? for this thread I never post them because lets face it, a walk around fitzwilliam sq/merrion sq or a stroll by ashtons in clonskeagh and you'll see enough to last you a year!

Yup, think I counted 7 on Shrewsbury Road once.
