    That isn't a Tesla, but rather a Fisker Karma!!!

    Its the only one in Ireland atm. There is also a Tesla Model S floating about Rathfarnam.

    You're right too, that's pretty cool too.

    LE - Last Edition ? :rolleyes:
    No need for the roll eyes rubbish, I've noticed you posting it a number of times towards a number of different users in the classics subsection.

    It's a LE for LIMITED EDITION and you're almost correct calling it an anniversary model as the LE was launched to celebrate the models anniversary. The last 580 MGB's built at Abingdon were badged LE and sold with that silver colour (among others) and a few other goodies such as the alloys and side decals.

    One for sale here

    The badge was resurrected for the MGTF LE500 and one lives around Dun Laoighre as I see it regularly (red with UK plates and a dent in every panel)

    Future classics in their own way - a Tesla and a Twizy, part of a 'dream' collection if you were young enough to wait 30years :rolleyes:

    Didn't realise there were any Tesla's in Ireland. Nice spot!

    Fiskers are rare everywhere. That young fellow will.i.am has one.
    Teslas have sold in surprising numbers in the UK; not surprising really because they are the only decent looking electric car imo; even if they are €100k.

    Tesla/Fiskar - it was lashing rain but it's still no excuse :o:o:o
    May I be electrocuted by the first one I sit into ! http://thenewfisker.com/
    I think the Tesla looks a bit Jag-ish .


    The P6 caught my eye and I diverted to chase after it - IF I had a few bob this is one I'd buy and cherish. US-style plate and surround, Vitesse (?) alloys, twin pipes and associated rumble and subtle (non-Rover) V6 badging

    And he didn't mess with the reg either, it coulda been Z V8 8856, but he's better not attracting a ticket for that :mad:


    Todays shots - missed a (future classic Merc ) SLS 60 DC was the reg. , and a nice pairing on the N11 , W123 coupe being passed by W124 coupe :cool: and an 88 Carina

    Lot of LR's out yesterday, missed a 141 Defender shot to complete the pack.White one is 82D LHD. RR is another one for my 'Dream Garage' along with that P6 from the w/end :cool:
    R4 is ex-Garda I think.

    Often wondered about the old velosolex etc. or the more modern version in your pic.
    Is "road tax" and insurance required if used on public roads ?

    The 'get-out' clause might be in the pedals, it's only a 'part-time mechanically propelled VEH-HEE-KILL ' :)

    I hope to make the bicycle engine and motorized bicycle popular in Ireland and also make the legal requirements (tax/insurance/licence) much more transparent so that we can all enjoy our motorized bicycles in peace :)

    spotted these in Deansgrange yesterday while putting Mrs tc20s Micra through the NCT. The Bluebird is an 89 Turbo SR, which was in for the test.
    The Merc & AC were just in the same industrial estate
