Crap, that was today. I've been meaning to go to that again, I went a couple of months ago and it was great.

I got there and all the alfas had left. I suppose it was cold and all but I thought it'd have lasted longer.
I'll know for again.

Still though, the car got cleaned, twice.

Nice pictures marcinek

Damn that Toyota. Can anyone who know the owner can ask him where will he bring this car... any event next year. I'd love to have few shots of it. Never saw any of them in flash...

A Toyota 2000GT sold for $1.2m in NY Last Year. Highest price ever paid for an Asian car, apparently:

Amazing to see one - I wonder how much was paid for it...

get sick of seeing all them lambos, that Toyota was very cool though, I had to take a double take scrolling down through the pics.

Nice to see the SLS AMG in a different color, matte brown although not a fan of it.
The GT3 is another fine machine, also spotted a nice matte green Range Rover Sport and jet black Alpina B7 but with a ridculous looking boot spoiler, both of which were moving too fast for a snap!

vectra

Not me,
But my son spotted this in Chicago over the weekend

The back of it reminds me a lot of the Jag XF.
How much are those new?
Actually I just did some research and in the UK the car costs just over 50k GBP... In Ireland nearing 100k Euro. Some bloody price difference.
Tesla said that in 2015 they will be opening 4 new supercharge points in Ireland, Dublin/Cork/Limerick and Galway.
They are still working on an official dealership as now if you want one you need to go to London and the same if there are any warranty issues. Seems like a pain in the balls tbh.

So it's about 35k GBP more expensive in Ireland. Idiotic.

The VRT excemption for electric cars and hybrids was removed in 2009. Otherwise it wouldn't have been more expensive.

Talk to the muppets in Dublin about that. And the greens were actually part of having it removed.

It's the same with biodiesel, where Revenue asked to have a rule like in the UK, where you can make 1500l /year for own consumption, because even the people, that create their own biodiesel and declare it, cause the same paperwork and workload as a big petrol distributor. But the muppets decided, they wanted to scrape every dime in, they could put their grubby hands on, even if it's not cost efficient.

Moronic.

They are a truly fascinating car. I have wanted one but a somewhat impulse buy of a house and some other things have put the prospect off for a few years yet. I'm not someone massively interested in electric cars to save the ozone or whatever, but they are just fascinating.

Can I ask Simonigs, what do you do for a living? Just being a nosy bastard is all

Really, I'm a geologist and I consult with the OPW.
On top of that I own/have shares in some businesses.

Well done, that's all I can say. I just wanted to ask as I see you treat yourself nicely. In a good way of course.
