    There's an SC or Judge at the Four Courts with an Aston that must need to be NCT'd at this stage. I suspect someone's Devil is given a job for the day...

    The only exception? In the last couple of weeks alone I've come across a Ferrari 458, a McLaren, Porsche GT4, R8 V10, a C63S Bentley SUV as well as a few BMW M4/i8 all recently registered on Irish plates :confused:

    They'll get tested just like any other car, I've seen some nice stuff in the Deansgrange centre over the years FWIW.

    Well, I haven't seen them. Every single 2.5L+ car I see around here is on UK plates - or from other places, like the ones parked outside the various embassies which might have some special reservations, as I've seen the same cars for 8+ months...far beyond the "visitor" time.

    Spotted a '04 SL500 AMG on Dublin plates today, so a new entry.

    The guy who is organising the Dublin Cars & Coffee events is running his Lambo on UK plates :rolleyes:

    Not true, he has a white/ivory Murciealago on Irish plates. You're probably thinking of the black roadster that was around a few months back. Dont know if thats still here.

    For exotic stuff the biggest problem is travelling to the UK for repairs and major servicing, not the NCT.

    All of these cars are NCT'd during working hours on a monday when the rest of us are in work. Usually the garage would bring it through as part of its service and 'fix anything even slightly askew' package.

    It's a rudimentary test. Most supercars that are well looked after (and most of them are) pass. No cloaks and daggers.

    I've a vague recollection from yeas ago that as Rollers get older the level of maintenance takes a significant drop as OEM parts are seriously expensive so corners are cut, similar could happen to other exotics that become affordable for people who have to ask!

    That black roadster is still around: seen it twice recently, Still on UK plates. ...

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    My dear fellow has the recession been that unkind that you no longer have a Chauffeur?

    I can get one of my Chauffeurs to collect your car (if you still have one) the next time it is due to be tested:D
