I'd have the new C63S coupe instead. Same engine, half the price

No pictures but I seen a sliver Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG outside of the halfway House in Ashtown today.

my lotto win daily driver car would just be an old ford

AMG me hoop:D

dr.fuzzenstein · 10-01-2016 01:24AM

Well, I'd have that Quattro too!
Now that we're talking, a Lancia Delta Integrale, an old Roller, maybe a Model T and a Renault 4!

That's been there awhile, have been meaning to go in for a look. Did you go inside and ok at it or through the window?

Was after 5 when I passed so it was closed. Sat in one at the Frankfurt show last September though. A lovely car, but not on my 'lotto list':)

Cars & Coffee in Cork this morning

Haven't seen one in Matte black before

Armchair Andy · 11-01-2016 11:40PM

Perfect example of a number plate shagging up aesthetics on a car. Nicest R8 I've seen and I'm no big fan.

RichyX · 12-01-2016 12:04AM

Forgot to post this Fiat X1/9.
Every time I saw it at a distance I though it was a Truimph!

goochy · 12-01-2016 01:07AM

Fiat looks well and not an import !
Terrible parking of R8 , hope that's a wrap as looks very grim, the 08 one with white wrap going around looks well. Bill Griffin motors has/ had a 2010 blue ex UK R8 for sale for a very long time , he's not known for great customer service so maybe that put off buyers.

It does. I thought the matte black phase was over and done with a few years ago now.

Is that RS3 sold yet or still with a dealership? Needs to be black or Sepang blue though, how does the red look in the flesh?

I didn't even notice it was an RS3 at first, just didnt stand out

until I heard the rumble. Blue is definitely the colour for them. Couldn't see who was driving it at the time.

chriity139 · 12-01-2016 11:40PM

I seen that rs3 last year. Its a serious car in person but if you wernt a car person you wouldnt be able to tell it was anything special

jozi · 13-01-2016 07:35PM

All the Porsches must have been out today, seen a whole plethora of them between Drumcondra and Donnybrook. The only on that stood out, because of the deep front air dam and massive rear spoiler, was a GT4 probably 2015 model? Also spotted my first 2016 in the form of a Volvo XC90, big yoke!

---edit---

Just googling, I thought it was a 911 GT4 but now I'm not sure, it definitely had a GT4 badge, maybe it was a Cayman GT4?

Ex Lord Mayor of Nyavan? Poor bastard!

hoodie6029 · 13-01-2016 10:28PM

Local businessman in Navan. Used to get to '1' plate every year in the late 90's early 00's. Any time you'd see him he wouldn't be going over 40mph for some reason.

Duke O Smiley · 13-01-2016 10:32PM

I had LK-1 on a Jag, exported now

There would be serious money to be made if such plates could be transfered.

Interesting screw placement on the reg

Childish screw placement. The car impresses enough without that kind of nonsense.

5.0 V8 Mustang. The noise from it is unreal.

*I know it's parked in a disabled space but we were with the car at all times.

Looks like they went to you after us then.

I thought the V8 was a bit muted to be honest. Still nicer than 99 percent of the stuff we get in, but not as growly as I hoped.

We were in a multi-story car park so it sounded pretty sweet. Was blown away by the interior, really well put together and the manual box has a lovely short throw.

I recognise the space, and the 2 guys in the photo

Interior was a lot better than I expected, having been in an 06 imported one that was just a bit cheap on the inside.

Slight let down by having the same "door open" bong as the Mondeo, but I could live with that.

Couldn't live with the 14 l/100km consumption they got on the way up though (20 mpg) :eek:

bear1 · 14-01-2016 11:54PM

To be fair, id have floored the ****e out of it around everywhere

What is going to the happen to the car? For sale as a demo?

chriity139 · 15-01-2016 10:08AM

20mpg isn't that bad for a 5 litre car. I have had a 2 litre which would struggle to get that

I wasn't a fan of the colour myself when I had it, partly because of the silver accents. It's more orangey red than red red if you get me.

Fuel Injection LHD, seen about Dublin the odd time
