    Is that an 8 series? I saw an undisguised convertible today in Dublin.

    Yeah looks like it, not sure why the camo wrap. Unless it's an M8 cabrio or something.

    Probably testing the impact of Irish potholes on their luxury motors :)

    Could be like the ‘disguised’ 5 series they had in the dealers.

    Aren't they usually disguised to stop people and other manufacturers from seeing their design until it's official release?

    M8 has quad tail pipes, just by looking it certainly just looks like a 8 series convertible. She`s LHD and german reg`d in camo so its obviously testing something, long way from home to test it though.

    In fairness, our roads are way better than they used to be.
    Maybe they were on their way to NI where the quality has plummeted!

    Its the road surface that they need to test on. No need to go to NI for that. We have all that shyte in abundance here.
    Agree with you re; NI road network

    I’ve been wrong before, but I’m pretty sure that’s horrendous and given all the hype about its development is probably a huge disappointment to most people.

    Yep apart from the engine, drivetrain, internal switchgear, software, differential, gearbox, and chassis they are totally different....hard to believe any comparisons are drawn at all to be fair.

    Thanks for correcting my typing.

    The Supra was a hero car, this new version is a weak imitation, and the fact its basically a modified Z4 really is gutting for the fans.

    Nothing to see here! Just someone putting a Sportage through its paces. May need new suspension.
    Drove away anyway.

    In all honesty thought wtf would you need it for.

    I'm surprised the Kinahan's haven't tried to import a few, what would the Gardai do if they saw one of those coming at them??

    In Poland, where I have moved to.
    Sadly only one pic, but I did see another “frozen silver” one of those too today.

    //edit: Excuse the sideways pic, Boards made it that way.

    I met that today too around the same time, just north of kanturk! I wasn’t gone on them first, but seeing it in the flesh I think I’ve changed my mind!
