    Heading home from a cycle this morning here in Athlone and a seriously powerful Porsche Cayenne passed me. I never heard such a burble from a car, sounded seriously powerful, very wide arches, huge low profiles, etc. it was a UK or Northern reg and it had a badge across the front of the bonnet saying Exclusive.
    Anyone know what this might be?

    It could have been fettled with by a tuning company. There are various ones that will make the hideous porsche cayenne even more ghastly if you give them a big pile of cash.

    Edit: example

    I have a couple of pics of a range rover I took a couple of weeks ago with "exclusive" written across the front and back with some red highlights. A fecking RR (not even vogue) how the feck could it be exclusive

    Evoque is three times cheaper so a fecking RR is more exclusive than the others:D

    Even a factory Cayenne sounds mean.

    Here each morning at 7am all the other Novartis workers drive in past my window and its just a soundtrack of straight 6's and v8's for about 20mins.

    For a country Top Gear showed as not liking cars, there are fast ones everywhere, they love their cars here.

    Was stuck behind a land rover invincible recently and that was far from invincible judging by the oh so gingerly attempts to transverse minor speed bumps. A 90 year old nun recovering from major surgery would have made better progress in a wheelchair.

    Always thought the audi "1.4 Sport... Ambition" was a fairly honest name.

    No pics - so it didnt happen ;):D

    Seriously though, it would be interesting to see some pics of Swiss reg cars!

    Ha I thought he meant novartis ringaskiddy. I was thinking there wasn't that many interesting cars when I was working down that way and that was at the height of the boom.
