A poverty spec panamera Those wheels look tiny on it

I'd get over the wheels, classic porches are one of the best examples of "you don't need 20inch rims with rubber bandy wheels for handling".

Didn't get a picture, but I saw quite a nice unmarked Garda car outside INIS/GNIB on Burgh Quay in Dublin. Metallic Grey 2012 Ford Mondeo 2.2 TDCI Titanium X Sport (checked on Motorcheck :P). Motorcheck tells me it has 197bhp. Not bad for a Garda car. :pac:

Looked like this but in dark metallic grey.

Just caught this one as she pulled away from the lights!
550bhp i believe, plate :007AGENT (what a dope!)

CianRyan · 24-01-2015 01:28AM

Dope?
That's class.

itsjaybud · 24-01-2015 05:42AM

Class car alright everyone to their own regards the plate I guess!

But it's not a classic Porsche

Way to begrudge a guy that goes out and buys himself a Panamera. I am sure he is delighted with it.

Not a best quality from my phone, spotted few day ago:

And spotted today nice 2015 plates:

Sweet capri

My brother (who has a Ford dealership in Perth), just bought this 'old' Roush to show off next to his new Shelby GT 500.

Did I mention I hate him sometimes?

Also, being the HUGE Mustang fan that I am, I'm very happy having just moved here as I do get to see them quite regularly.

And all sorts of other old American muscle cars.

And your brother of course!!!

Yep, both love Mustangs and Skylines. He used to work at a Nissan dealership too, and got to play with loads of Skylines all the time too and go for track days and that kind of thing.

vibe666 · 25-01-2015 02:15PM

and then there's the personalised numberplates.

I'm told this guy actually works for subway, but I'm not so sure... :pac:

then there's the odd hummer just driving around.

And then my ideal ride for the zombie apocalype. :cool:

this one really puts the 'HI' in Hilux!

And I haven't even managed to get pics of even a 10th of the nice cars I've seen so far, but they're everywhere, so it's hard to get a quick pic when I spot something without looking like a complete loon!

Parked on my road early this morning!
Not only is it a daily driver but a marketing vehicle for Martial Arts and Yoga!

Great pics Vibe666 but are you sure you weren't on the set of a porn shoot with reg numbers like " foot long " and " so hard " ☺

As a long time lurker here I don't want to come across as a whinger but this thread is just turning into bickering over pointless things like reg's and diesels. I know Ireland doesn't exactly have an abundance of rare or exciting cars, but seeing an old Toyota saloon or a Dacia isn't exactly something most people would consider interesting. Sorry for the rant but just my two cents!

Thank you for your valued comment.

However, I recommend you go back to what you do best, which is lurking.

Thank you again!

He is right tbh, also no need to be a dick.

Just missing the steel hubcaps and she'd be lovely.

Quality motor, yoga instructor must like soft seats!

I find old toyota saloons very interesting, why deprive me?

He's right about the bickering but the rest?, it's "here's what I saw today" pretty open title, in my opinion basically anything even remotely motor related has a place.

Very harsh. On the last page there's a 3 liter Capri, Mustangs, Pickups and many more interesting motors.

Didn't you see them?

ScrubsfanChris · 25-01-2015 07:10PM

South Mall, Cork, last Tuesday......

Regularly parked around Douglas. Was there on Friday. Was ashamed to park near it!

Most people. There are some anoraks out there (me included, especially) who do. What is the problem with that?

While I do agree with you in regards to the bickering about other things, I disagree with you here. If someone wants to post a photo of a Carina II, let them because some posters will enjoy seeing it, and isn't that what this thread is about?

That Tallaght?

Yep, spot on. Do they have a valet service or something?

I'm sorry, the only British roadster I'm interested in is the first generation MX-5 :pac:

This is one of the threads I look at every day and contribute to from time to time. i don't want to see the bickering either but it hasn't taken over the thread so far.
