    Is it still known as the widow maker? Didn't they call a lot of rich people? Some car all the same.

    No, it's the Squashed Volkswagen Beetle. The incorrectly-positioned engine overhanging the back axle caught out a handful of yuppies in England in the '80s. They wouldn't have known a car if it bit them on the left arse-cheek anyway. :pac:

    Like the mk1 TT caught out a few dot com boomers. Likewise.

    There's two that have been spotted a few times. Both on Swiss plates I think.

    That's an SV, so 3 Swiss orange aventadors. I'd say it's the same owner of one of the original cars who owns this and just traded up.

    Love those old Mercs(in a different colour mind you ;)). Incredibly solid car. The only way to kill one of those is with holy water in the rad, a wooden stake through the block and bury it in hallowed ground.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Could be, but bare in mind that in Switzerland few cars can have the same reg plates, and those are from different canton. There is a chance that is not an upgrade for same owner. Anyway... Awesome it was spotted in Ireland. Same owner or not:cool:

    I don't think they are that obnoxious, look a lot more legal than "German Plates" which are everywhere at the moment.

    What's wrong with them? Slightly different font than the usual but they include the country, county and the correct spacing - look perfectly legal to me?
    Font size is way too small.

    I don't really understand what you're saying. The 3 cars have different Swiss reg plates. I said the owner of one of the other ones probably upgraded. I'd say it's the owner of VS 30700... He's got a pile of exotica.

    SZ 107997 Aventador
    VS 30700 Aventador
    SZ 51368 Aventador SV

    It's the owner of SZ 107997 that upgraded to the SV - not the guy that done the Cannonball a few times.

    No doubt. It's a 1967 and not a speck of imperfection anywhere.

    I went to Kilbeggan to see some of those American cars, But stupid me forgot to charge my camera after hols in Monaco and was taking only few quick shots as I wanted to keep some battery for Modified Live at Mondello. Went to Mondello after that show and it wasn't worth at all... Paid €22.50 to see that most the cars already left and Top16 of IDC only start but before I took 40 photos battery gone and decide to go home. Wasn't happy with Mondello at al this year...

    P.S. Camera already charging for Gumball 3000 next weekend And first ever photo shoot with my new car.
