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:

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

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 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

I had LK-1 on a Jag, exported now

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

LK-1 on a Megane the other morning. :pac:

Didn't take pics but for anyone around Waterford, Tom Murphys have a beautiful old two door Merc (whatever the 70s e class equivalent was) in the show room. 37 years old with only 38000 miles on the clock!

Probably - it was the one my colleague saw at the S-Max / Galaxy launch last November, so it's been in the country a while.

Brand new BMW M4 in Rathfarnham village around lunchtime today, reg was 161-D-4000 I think. Thought it was a normal 4 series at first glance, black really hides a lot of the M styling details.

ofcork · 15-01-2016 6:29pm

Also seen in the 161 registrations thread!

Is it grey ? There's a grey one that you can drive for half hour or so on those group on type sites. Buddy did it in cork

PrettyBoy · 16-01-2016 1:05am

The Lambo vandriver is referring to is a black Murcielago LP640 Roadster - not a Gallardo and not a rental. The guy who owns it lives near me, has had a few nice cars over the years.
