Cars around Dublin

Chucky

Has anyone seen that yellow Lamborghini around dublin? the engine sounds fantastic and you can spot it a mile off! fantastic.
Or if you own it please say so!

Another thing. Has anyone seen that Dodge Viper wit the Californian registration? I saw it one day walking along Stephens Green.

Robbo

I saw the Lambo last time I was up in Dublin (January) cruising along the quays near enough to O'Connell St. By the time I'd found my digital camera, twas gone...

Lafortezza

I've seen a bright orange lamborgini diablo a few times around temple bar, I think it belongs to Damon Hill, he has a fancy car rental agency somewhere in dublin,

shurl

Yeah i saw the yellow one around town allright.

I think I remeber hearing that either its or another one around Dublin is a Kit Build.?

I saw the Yellow Lambo .. Went by me on the M50 . When I eventually caught up ( Toll Plaza ) was a bit upset to see that it was a KIT ...
If yau have any spare cash head over to Des Cullen Cars , He has a 2001 Ferrari 360 F1 Spider only €249,000 ....

Ah well back to the overtime ...

shurl

Yeah thought it was allright.


Any chance Des does finance on that Ferrari?

Oh if thats too rich for you .. And considering the summer is coming in the Aston Martin DB7 Volante Vantage conv will be perfect @ €220,000 ... Thats a cool €7,172.18 over 36 months, excluding payment protection. According to his site ....

Worth popping in and having a drool .. I used to when I was out on the road , every Friday there I'd be with me nose pressed up against the window .... AAAAAhhhhhh

Kali

I've seen five diablos around dublin in the past two years (only one with an Irish reg iirc)... but yeah the sound is unmistakable.

There was a lovely Ferrari Dino 246 GT parked on Merrion Sq facing the National Museum today.. now theres a car to drool over.

That's a bit steep isn't it? I know there's a three year waiting list but the list is only Stg£90,000.

Nope, change to euro then the add the extra VRT by doubling the price and adding a bit. VRT is pricey on those type of high end sports cars etc.

hey im in Kevin St too. You wouldnt expect that much nice cars round here but anyway

Has no-one seen that Dodge? Ive looked it up. its a "Dodge Custom Royal V8 Lancer Cab". Californian reg. its unmistakable! It takes up the whole lane like. Its as wide as a truck

sharkman

Is this the one ????

Chucky

no actually. the one i saw was a convertable. darker colour, like, brown i think.

who's car is that one anyway?

sharkman

Its just one I found on the web ... Saw a beautiful Corvette in Swords the saturday before last .. It was exactly the same as the picture , Bonnet up and all ,, Guess what Ronan Keating had broken down ...

ToxicPaddy

There was someone in waterford had a Lamborghini Countach for a while.. not sure if it was the real deal or a kit car.. but it didnt sound like a kit or look like one, got a lookin inside it one day when passing it..

it had a wicklow reg.. 88 or 89 WW. didnt see it for a while next thing I saw it being towed out the road to Tramore by an Astra..

twas very funny

DivX

Saw that Lambo last year in Tramore, t'was at the Max Power(or something like) show.

It was the same one that was used on the Lotto ad with the farmer driving the Lambo pulling the trailer full of sheep.

Unfortunatly it was only a kit car... still had the drawbar and all...

Captain Trips

Same place in Tramore had a notchback 65 Mustang, only a V6 though

You'd be surprised Me and some friends were sittin in the DIT restaurant havin breakfast beside the window there one day and we were just watchin cars passin by.. we counted over 10 new mercedes and BMW's.. a BMW convertible, a jaguar S type (the 4.2 one), a benteley, and later that day a porsche 911 in templebar!

Chucky

Yeh its fun watching the cars go by in that restaurant isnt it. Beats the hell out of going to class.

ando

I dont think there's anything special seeing a porsche 911 anymore, their pretty common nowadays.

N e 1 see a Focus RS ?? I've only seen one since its been released

sharkman

Saw the new Street Ka ... Much nicer then those Pug 106 's ...

stereo_steve
