mmmmm polish porn fantastic collection

Scrap that last one - I will take this

Saw an Audi RS6 Avant today at the Northwest200.
Looked sweet but couldn't get a picture because I was driving.

Saw this in Pierse Motors in Tipperary Town.

From a distance it looked like a TTRS but wasnt as the rear spoiler was not evident. It has a Quattro badge on the front. Looks fairly sweet all the same.

Taken through a window.

Fiat Thema

Its a Lancia Thema, and that looks a lot like the rare 8.32 version. It has an engine that is essentially based on the one in the Ferrari 308. If it is an 8.32 and it looks it with the wheels, side stripes, engine cover and rear spoiler, then its one of the best Q cars of the late 1980's

Dunno where I did get that wrong. I was most likely baffled by the Ferrari badged engine and yes, I think you're right in regards to what it is.

In the TTRS I'm sure its fixed and you can have it removed as an "extra". So in the newer models I'm just really not sure. Couldn't get in to see but I could see the top of the boot and didn't see any lines where a spoiler could be.

Yeah the RS comes with a fixed spoiler and you can have it swapped for the electronic one as a no cost option.

The white one has one of the new S-Line kits which is basically the same as the TTS now. The old S-Line is now what is standard.

That one looks like one of the black/white special packs, with the carbon fibre details and is a TDI afaik

Nice focus behind the triumph, ghia spec I believe :pac:.

A Golf Gti "Pirelli" edition, 1982, 1.8l, 112bhp. A special edition to run out the last of the Golf I Gti's. You can see the stylised Pirelli "P" in the holes in the alloys.





Greetings from the 70's!, lovely car, shame its the 50bhp 1.3 engine.



Needs no introduction........




Beautifully restored Porsche 356. They had an extended display of various cars on the advancement of aerodynamics over the years.




Not a Volkswagen but a 1936 Porsche Type 60 prototype. 985cm3, 23.5 bhp, max speed 100 kmh. Not an original but a true replica built by VW in the 1990s. The original was destroyed.



Golf II Rallye, great car my ex GF got one in the early 90's and still has it!! Never built in RHD, in the background a Golf Country, the forerummer of todays SUVs. A competent enough off roader, I once drove one for a few days and its one of the worst handling crates I've ever experienced.



Volkswagen W12 Nardo. It was built in 2001 as a test bed for the W12 engines found later in the Phaeton. It still holds several long distance world records. W12 engine, 6l, 600bhp, 1480kg, v/max ca 350 kmh.

They should have built it.







And another highlight of sorts. This is the electric Golf, which should be ready in 2014 or so. I had a spin in it and its a great blast to drive, first time I ever drove a proper elecrtic car. Still a long way to go but its a start I suppose.
