    +1 Plus its not as if he is not going to suffer massive depreciation anyway,plus only a very foolish man would pass up on buying a mint well minded car because it didn't have a Dublin reg (that is presuming it will be well looked after)

    KY plate on any car is a death sentence. People won't buy Kerry plates second hand, only in Kerry, as the roads off any of the main roads are horrific (I should know, I spend plenty of time down there), and on top of that, your mates will be making KY jelly jokes for months to come.

    Really, to have any hope of selling a DB9 afterwards, the owner would have to put a D plate on it. Not for snobbery, but for creating a wider audience when it comes time to look for a potential buyer.

    even though i'm fairly sure he's messing about that, I did sell a Beetle cabriolet to a farmer about 2 years ago and he got me to fit a towbar on the back!!!!

    Not as daft as it sounds, and it is very plausible. I'll try find out.

    Also, black 05 DB 9 in Sandymount about an hour ago. The driver could not even have been in his thirties :(

    What a silly silly post! The man is obviously from or living in kerry so fair play to him,going to the trouble of getting a D reg or any other reg with be plain stupid.

    When you have nothing better to say.......

    You have obviously never spent much time on kerry roads. Ive spent most weekends of my early years down there and i will never buy a ky reg car. And its nothing to do with snobbery its to do with the fact that the car will be battered. The roads in Kerry are on another level of appalling. The suspension will be working twice as hard as it will in any other county. Id have no problem with the man putting a reg of a county anywhere but Kerry on it. The roads there are a complete joke.

    I saw a new shape 2009 7 Series BMW near the government building yesterday, it's a massive improvement on the old one, the grill on the front is MASSIVE!

    It had a little symbol just behind the front wheels, kinda like a little tree or something, like a company logo?

    There are worse roads in Ireland than those in kerry,ask porsche :cool:

    My comments quoted above were not a commentary on the state of kerry roads but merely a response to the silly post saying that it was so so so wrong to put KY plates on an Aston,i doubt very much that the poster of these comments meant it was so wrong on because of the state of the roads but rather it was so wrong because he was perhaps from inside the pale or an avid cork man or some other narrow minded,non helpful reason to post such silly comments.

    Also the wing mirrors aren't chrome? Is it an RS6 or a very good mock up?
    Definately a sleeper whatever way you look at it!

    I actually saw one of these in black in Ballsbridge not too long ago, 08 D on a Des Cullen plate.[/QUOTE]

    Ya, good point on the mirrors. I'm pretty sure it had the flat bottomed wheel though. If it's a rep, it's pretty well done although I don't think it is.

    I saw an british reg s6 in Sligo at Xmas - no chrome mirrors but it did have the oval pipes at the back. Lovely motor. It was the real deal too because he overtook about 5 cars in a row all traveling at 70 to 80 mph in a few seconds and I could hear the growl as the pressure came on. Sleeper is not the word.

    yeah, that guy who posted those comments definitely didnt have the same opinion as me. I wonder who that dark stranger was so we could ask him for his exact meaning behind his statement. :rolleyes:

    edit: and no there are not worse roads than those in Kerry. There may be the odd road that is as bad but for sheer quantity of collapsing, potholed roads Kerry is unrivaled.

    Oddly enough as much as car dealers say that it might make a difference of a few hundred euros. Your talking about a car thats worth a couple of hundred thousand. I can assure you it wont bother the owner that his reg may make it a few hundred cheaper second hand. Plus its a stupid preconception by dealers and reg snobs.

    Was the symbol a gold S? Could be owned by the Shelbourne. They often have logo'd 7 series (LWB) parked up outside.

    No, I don't think so, the Shlebourne symbol is normally on the front doors, this was smaller and just behind the front wheel, below the weird silver thing that looks like a hinge.

    Eh, we're not talking a few hundred euro here. The difference would be several thousand on an Aston Martin or similar car..

    Second that, madness putting a KY reg on an aston. Astons are posers cars & no poser is gonna buy that plate. A mate took a KY reg SLK couple of years ago & had trouble shifting the thing down to d reg.

    I think it's a car from the Four Seasons in Ballsbridge.

    Did it look like this?

    I think you sir misunderstood me,i was referring to the 'W' on the regs,im sure the D reg posers would express similar disgust at putting a W reg on nice cars.Imagine the cheek of culchies buying nice cars and putting their home county regs on them,the utter cheek! :D
