A 05D 750i parked beside my 735i this evening. Nothing too spectacular you might think but it was to me. First time I actually really liked the look of the new 7. Why does it seem to take me 4/5 years to start liking new BMW models? It was the same when the E39 came out. I don't consider myself to be that conservative but maybe I am? :rolleyes:

Stylish alloys too, more like audi A8 / merc S than any BMW alloys I've seen

It's joining the S430/S500 on the shortlist for my next car for sure

I saw a 745i yesterday. Prick came up into the lane beside us to pass us out at the lights, we were in a '97 Micra at the time, with my 20 year old brother driving. We were out-classed to say the least

I reguarly see a 1960's Aston Martin DB5 on the Airton Road in Tallaght. It's on a ZV plate. I think it is used as a everyday car :eek:.

Could it be this car, it's a ZV reg (not visible on pict)
(Think the one below is possibly is a DB6)

That wide arched M3 is a complete waste. It is everything that the M3 was not about

Looks like it alright, same colour aswell. Can't be too many of them around. Outside the same building on the Airton Road where the Aston often is, I also see sometimes a dark blue Mercedes 220E Fintail (I think). Could be owned by the same guy who has the Aston.

ubu · 04-01-2006 06:34PM

Lotus Elise

Ferrari 360

Porsche 911 carrera

Merc CLS 55 AMG

F355's a gorgeous. IMO one of the best looking cars ferrari have made

AJ! · 08-01-2006 06:26PM

Maxwell Motors have a new BMW M6 in the showroom. Blue with cream interior. There can't be too many of those in the country.

Squirrel · 08-01-2006 08:33PM

sharkman · 09-01-2006 04:51PM

Erm, unless that Gallardo has had a respray from Arancio to Giallo I think your camera might be faulty...:p

MercMad · 13-01-2006 12:59PM

Popped into a friend in a main BMW dealer yesterday - working OT preparing cars for 06 reg - 400 of them no less!

Anyway, out the back away from forecourt and prying eyes...

Crap pic of a stored M1! (850 and mint E30 in background)

Those cars are belong to Frank Keane, part of his own personal collection. They graced the showrooms of the Naas rd. premises intermittantly iover the last 10-15 years !

He has others too, a lovely 507 Roadster , nice 3.0CSi, and an '02 of sorts ! The E30 Sprt has very small mileage AFAIR

MercMad · 13-01-2006 01:18PM

Ahhh so it IS Nicky Byrne in the Escalade ! Is ee it regularly !

Also regularly see the 04DB9, 05D 911, just saw an 06 Cayenne Turbo in Malahide, theres an 05 one there regularly too !

That gold Merc 300SEL in the above photo is belong to a guy I know !

I'm lovin' that black 355...........nicest Ferrari I've seen in a long time, great colour combo !

Oh and BTW that Aston IS a DB6............the DB5 is almost identical except th rear 1/4 window is larger and the car doesn't have the Kamm tail. DB5 is much nicer IMO !

I see this car every day..........................BOO HOO !!

ciarsd · 13-01-2006 02:46PM
