Squirrel

In the last week or so I've seen a BMW X5 4.6, a Rolls Royce Phantom, and a Maybach 57

Kersh

A navy 996 turbo on uk plates in Kirkistown. Wayne Douglas' driver owned it..

impr0v

Reminds me I saw a black 997 last week, northern reg with a very attractive lady driving it. Much rathered the 'teardrop' lights on the 996 than the new retro ones.

Munurty

Parked beside a black Cayenne TURBO in the airport last night, uk plates. And saw another M5 in kilkenny. Purple is suprisingly nice. Also saw a Cls500 parked in kk the other night.

I think I can play this game but I should have a handicap, I live near St Tropez.

My 11yr old son and I play spot the car but it's so easy that now we do it by colour.
In the last week I have seen 11 Ferraris ( 7 red, 1 black, 2 yellow and 1 silver)
Total Hummers for week 6( 4 black, 1 yellow, 1 silver) including a pickup type that I hadn't seen before.

On Sat I saw a parked green RR Cabriolet In P
lace des Lices, while I was looking at it another drove by with the top down. On the way home I saw a Bentley.

We are not living at all...

Got overtaken on the way to Dublin this evening by a '03 Galway reg SL55 AMG, being driven by an early 40's elegant Mrs. Robinson type. She wasn't afraid to use it and it sounded fantastic on the way past, like a diesel locamotive.

drdre

i seen the 05 g h2 (112) today its not in galway i think the guy lives in dublin as i seen him in cabinteely

Calibos

Anyone know who owns the Bentley GT I saw on the Wyatville Rd flyover of the N11 last tuesday week?

rabbitinlights

Heres a few sweet cars I seen in galway during the week, Loved the Speedster and the 2002, The guy who had the cobra should be shot..... it was a 2004 kit car made to look like a 427, except he had horrible pink/blue paint on it and had an auto box with a 1.4 engine, the interior was cream with pink piping, Im a huge fan of cobras but this guy missed the whole point of them......... Especially putting on very new looking Wolfrace alloys. Grrrrrr
Mint 2002

Old Jag (I think)

Very clean Mustang

Model T

"Cobra"


Porsche Speedster....... Mmmmmm look at those lines.


Not a bad days spotting...........

There was a program on rte during the passed week about that porshe speedster. It showed how they put it together using a beetle chassis and engine-the owner had the ac cobra too (i can remember those awful looking alloys anywhere-they look out of place on such a beautiful car)
If i remember correctly they were raffling off the porshe for charity.

jozi

Is that a honda s2000 or mazda mx5 beside the elise?

drdre

the lotus is kind of normal nowdays as there is a dealer in dublin now. but theres not many around:D

Kersh

Mazda by the looks of it... and a nissan almera.

AMurphy

Not too many Lotii about here, juse seen one in the recent past.

However I passed a row of used Hummers including at least 1 H1 a few mornings ago;

2003, H1, for the bargain price of $40K, looked clean.

And I see an abandoned 60's Mustang on a sidestreet that has not moved in about a month, no 4-SALE sign that I can see.

And I see a new MB G-Wagen and an old Cobra (~$60K) at another dealer down the road from LG Hummer and some other unique hand crafted model, I'll have to look up.

Was an mx5 alright! Before this one i had never seen one on irish roads before. Without a doubt one of my favorite cars ever, defo fav convertible. The roar out of it puts it among the big boys for me!

jozi

There's a vid of a elise following a corvette on the ring somewhere on the net.
The vette is faster flat out but the elise catches up with it everytime round the corners

Volcano

Yea the elise is up there with the super cars as long as its not top end speed. I mean under 5 seconds to 60 is

Squirrel

Anybody know the Bhp/tonne in an Elise?

Yesterday I saw 2 Citroen DS', 1 parked on the Dodder Road, and another parked near Irishtown Stadium

Volcano

Looked it up on google:

"Elise 111R weighs in at 860kg giving a power to weight ratio of 220hp/tonne. With a VVTL-i engine (Variable Valve Timing and Lift-Intelligent) producing a maximum power output of 189hp and 133.5 lbs.ft of torque, the Elise 111R sprints to 60mph in 4.9 seconds and 100mph in 13.0 seconds before reaching a certified top speed of 150mph."
