Nice cars in Roscommon

Donie75

Drove through Roscommon twice today around lunchtime, spotted what looked a Ferrari Enzo Convertible then a Ferrari 360 Modena and then out the road I spotted a Porsche Panamera... Didn't notice any regs but they may be wealthy petrol heads home from the UK for Christmas...

What colour was the Panamera? Saw one the other day, its gorgeous in the flesh.

Aren't those cars all still in the uk though. Isn't that the thing with them?

Never trust a dealer who will sell you an Avensis and an Aventador, jack of all trades master of none.

Those photos are all taken in Roscommon, you can see a local roscommon estate agent sign in the background so cars were over here at some stage

I drove through Roscommon once. There's something very odd there, but I still can't work out what it is.

Is €100k for an M5 a bit steep?

If it was black could be a very wealthy Italian guy. He owns a good few fast food places around the country. Mario is his name. I think other members of the family have a tile place near Molloy's bakery in the town. They have lived in the town for over 30yrs.

Far from poor the family. The Ferrari can seen often outside one of his chippers in the town

Sounds about right. €63k (50kgbp) on pistonheads and VRT is working out at €35k so looks about right. The rip off is the VRT says 35k is 36% of the market price.

They're in Ballaghadereen afaik. From what I've heard from people who bought/looked there, they're a crowd to be avoided.......

Fcuking hell. The only way to buy one is to have a "genuine" address in the UK, register it for a few month and bring it in as your own car. For that amount of greed, getting defrauded is all the Irish state deserves.
