Cheers! The Mustang really is gorgeous little yoke and in great nick. It's my brothers, a straight 6 brought over from Canada. He's selling it so I'm giving him a hand tidying it up... fun fun!

I guess it's worthy of this thread and to keep on topic

BMW i3 charging up in Dundrum TC at the weekend, first one I've seen in the flesh. Not my cup of tea, but chunky & funky. Although it appears to me to have certain lines of Citroen DS3, and a pumped up Up!
What's with the rear doors? Are they rear hinged - they look very tight.

Buzz Killington the third

Imagine the vandalism that's going to take place if electric cars take off in a big way and people are charging on the sides of the roads? Fuel caps kicked off, charging points broken from people pulling the lines out etc etc.

I am still surprised i haven't seen "a person of no fixed abode and of cultural significance and heritage" with an adapter made up so they can plug their caravan into one.

As it passed me as I was driving I didnt have time for a pic of my own, but saw this exact model and colour on a 142-D plate in Deansgrange, Dublin. Recession over!

That's because you have to be an actual active ESB customer to activate and use one.

@Blue Audi TT - Was getting all excited then realised it was a Diesel. There is a genuine TTRS in the CityWest area, really nice looking car.

Bought by an Irish owner. No doubt for the "chape" tax.

The front of that 599 has gotten much worse since I last saw it.

Owner of one of the Aston was disable. I don't know how he could drive by this car, it's so hard to get in and get out even if you're not using wheelchair.

I saw him on wheelchair and he didn't stand up, he move from wheelchair straight into the car, his wife took the wheelchair and put it in the boot. Really big respect for that man. I'm healty and it's very hard to get into Aston Martin as it's very low and he just did it very easy.

MadYaker

He's driving a 6.0 V12 aston with hand controls? :eek:

My Dad lost an arm in a car accident a long time ago. He still drives motorbikes. And cars, no problem at all.
But fair dues to that guy anyway.
