He used to have a SC430 but I'd say with the Illumunati around he may have been thinking the accelerater on it was rigged and disposed of it

Aww robb, don't be such a killjoy, I think the ones who are seriously into this have invented a new craze, "Carstalking".

I almost sure that yer man off RTE news drives a 46a, I saw him getting out of one the other day.

I once saw Glenda Gilson getting out of a taxi, not sure if this counts though, might not have been hers.

Last time I saw Tubridy he was in a Volvo V50. I've seen him driving around in a Jag XJ and an Alfa Spider before though.

I thought Pat Kenny rode one of those horrible BMW C1 motorbike thingy's?
