Heavies following in this

I drove into a car park in Bray this afternoon and pulled in beside what looked like a saloon version of this 191 merc. The ugliest looking abomination I have ever seen.

I don't think it could be any more cool

Was the first thought that came up with that thing.

I know it is top of the range of.... well basically everything but it is just ugly.

It looks like a slug, the heavies car is way more cool.

One serious car, you`re talking at least €500k before vrt.

Got a giggle from the AA sticker on the window, don`t think the AA have many s650 maybach Pullmans on the books

In fairness to him he's not a reg snob(and if anyone could afford to be he could), his last maybach was over 20 years old.

These Ferraris were in the background of a pic in another thread and a poster asked me had I any more of them. Two weeks ago in Grange Co. Sligo

Any more pics of the 6R4 SligoJoek?

Yeah thats true, his old one was a 2003 (which is ancient as luxury cars go), the same year he bought that he bought a painting by Amedeo Modigliani for $26 million which he sold last year for $157 million at RM Sothebys NY auction.

So his new maybach is only really pocket change

SuperS54

For the more discerning VW owner!

But he is really!! I'm shocked the Maybach isn't on the 191-T-777 plate. someone dropped the ball... It's a UK import too

His last Maybach was in 2004, and that's not 20 years

Both him and Pino Harris were great buyers of expensive stuff like that Maybach. Harris had a succession of S600s and 760s etc, rumour had it too that he had a new Phantom on order before he died.

SmartinMartin

Well that's me corrected

His silver 2004 760li was for sale a few years back for like €6-7k, the chap who was selling it was really peddling the fact that it had been owned by him and was a 1 owner car.

Duke O Smiley

Pino Harris was an absolute motoring pioneer in Ireland in many respects. Its a pity he never wrote a book, someone really should. Not sure it that would do much for the value of his 760 (which was curiously very poorly spec'd) though!

Fúck that's a nice profit.

The racing spec Metro.

Probably not a specific pic but should be in the background of a few. There was a crowd around it most of the time. I remember it sounded lovely heading off.

In one of those weird coincidences, 141T777 passed me on the way home last night - heading from Drogheda towards Julianstown.

I was never really a fan of French styling but the new gen Pugs are looking good. Even the Renaults are half daycent looking. Citroen, not so much.

jozi

Is that yours Mark? I've seen it around (think it's the same),b from the back it looks kinda cool.

MarkN

No it’s a press car, have it for the week. I just sometimes share pics of the more unusual stuff that I get.

Almost looks like the dog is driving.

She is.
