He is getting not one but two top of the range BMW 740d's

They have them already bought at the end of last year so they are 172 cars not 181 to look better. Is costing the tax payer over 300000 euro's
.


Michael D is awaiting delivery on 2 740d's

They have the cars already they are 172 reg cars just to look better so less people will complain maybe saying oh look two brand new cars for the president or something.
Thing is they are brand new just bought last year not used at all yet.

300k...!:) That's 150k each.
How so ?. I thought all garda cars( I imagine his is ) were VAT,VRT and every other money grabbing acronym, free.150k is probably the OTR price but the state wouldn't pay near that. Don't know why he needs two though. Wonder is there a built in bolster seat in the back

I'd say it is to spec it with bullet proof glass and armour the doors etc.

Fine car but really don't like those alloys. There's a lovely blue VRS here in Cork with those on. Ruin it.

182c 208 Ford Ranger. Big yoke.

181KE45 White Mercedes E Class coupe. Seen it in Maynooth with a heap of lads hanging around to see if it was Mr McGregors car, sadly for them it wasn’t Beautiful car though, rear lights are really nice. It’s going on my list of cars to buy in a few years when they’re cheap... haha.

BMW have had an integrated booster seat option since the e39 5 Series.

Who’d want to shoot our president? It’s a ceremonial role.

181 Golf in my apartment block car park this morning. If I'd seen them I'd have told them they shouldn't have bothered.

Charming. Got a good bit of that when I got my 172...

It’s probably an EU rule

I once saw a bullet proof 7 series in Frank Keane’s workshop, the doors and glass were bonkers, the thickness of them.

Just saw my first one.
181 Range Rover Velar in black. Was lovely.

Saw a new e pace toda in cork. First one I’ve seen on the road. Stood out for all the wrong reasons. The f pace can look poor in basic spec, but this white yellow head lighted e-pace looked just terrible.

181 G Hyundai Tucson, 181 G Seat of some kind, 181 G Rav4 all seen on my 8 mile round trip commute Friday. Done close to 250miles yesterday and not one spotted

Autosport

The E class coupe has different rear lights to the rest of them, but agreed the standard Merc styling is getting very similar.

There was a red 181 Octavia parked across from Pilson Autos in Ballymount this morning. I forget the reg, but it was in the 4,000's. I'll see if it's there again in the morning.

Not strictly a car, but saw a 181 OY transit connect in black. All shiny.

I somehow managed to capture a reflection over the 181 bit with my expert photography skills.

Hardly the most practical car this time of year. But I suppose at least they will be ready when it does get warmer be able to have the hood down and enjoy some open air driving.
