    Spotted this W210 E55 in Cornelscourt at the weekend.
    Cartell says its the real thing, though a UK import.
    They do have a Q-car status, though not as much of a sleeper as the W124 E500 in my mind

    sorry, its a W211 (I think the w210 E55 is even more of a Q-car)

    Was making terrible progress through Wexford on Monday, finally caught up on the problem. An Avensis towing numerous precariously stacked bales of hay at 50km/h in a 100 zone.

    Haven't noticed the i3s around Donnybrook, not yet anyway.

    No pics but a e60 M5 touring passed me earlier today in Donnybrook followed by a R8 second layer on a foreign (Saudi? ) reg.

    Think the M5 is the rarer beast I'd pic over the two.

    Anyone know of any Ferrari testa rossa in Ireland? Colleague thinks he spotted one in Dun Laoghaire recently.

    The Italian one is a 348, similar to Testarossa.

    That's a 250 Testarossa that sold last year for $40million so I'd guess that your friend saw a replica or something.

    A Ford Flacon FG XR6 flatbed just drove past me. Like this but in red/wine. Never saw one on Irish roads before.

    I know what a Testarossa is, had a poster on my bedroom wall many years ago... I met it in traffic in west Dublin in summer. Very wide but i was a little disappointed. Unlike the F40, when i finally seen one in the metal it looked great.

    I actually put a pic of the Italian 348 on here, must be two years ago now.

    couldn't remember if Testarossa was OY or RN REG, I thought it was a lighter blue - maybe its just the light or maybe it was repsrayed another blue and then red ! think Sport and classic and few other places had it for sale.

    Same one, looks darker in that picture but it was the one that was for sale a few years back before it was resprayed red. Used to belong to someone from Pink Floyd apparently.
