Shame I didn't see your post yesterday Tossy. I would have done what bazz said and parked right beside you for the lols!

Were you in that car park?

CorkMan_ · 31-05-2019 2:20pm

No but I could easily have been. Work down the street so it would have been fun to park by it!

Paddy@CIRL · 31-05-2019 8:05pm

Some recent shots from the 'ring last month, already planning the next one. So much to learn and such a rewarding / terrifying track to drive.

Top Dog · 02-06-2019 10:32pm

I had to do a double-take on the first photo as I initially thought you were biting your knuckle :pac:

TrailerBob · 03-06-2019 3:55pm

I like numbers...

And dust apparently.. I'll wash it before it goes to the South of France next month

Midnight_EG · 06-06-2019 9:33am

I did something really weird and bought my first diesel after 30 odd petrols since 2009...of course it's a 3.0 six pot though

get them swirl flaps removed and check turbo hoses for leaks, well wear. goes even better after remap, also more mpg.

I won't have it for nearly long enough for any of that to make sense, be lucky to see 3 months in my ownership!

Heading to Le Mans tomorrow so stickered up as per tradition:

James Bond Junior · 09-06-2019 9:13pm

Will you continue the tradition of leaving it stickered?

vintagevrs · 09-06-2019 10:21pm

Been a while since I had the bucket out.

I was thinking I had spotted you in another thread talking about your current career path and stickering up isn't ideal alright. Are you still around these parts or have you moved away?

Ireland for years : get a diesel, sure shtop with your loud exhausts, none of that harmful petrol craic
EG : no, never
Ireland now : diesels cause cancer and are going to be banned and awful
EG : theres a fine coo off that 6 banger turf burner there now so there is.

In Kildare/Carlow area these days.
Yeah the job doesn't really allow me to have it stickered up up for too long for fear of reprisals, it's not a particularly subtle car without stickers as it is thanks to the V6 so can do without the extra attention

Could I have seen you on the M7 this afternoon/evening? I seen a car in the distance heading towards me all stickerd up and I was wondering what it was. I couldn’t get a proper look as I passed you/it though.

I was indeed on the M7 Northbound from about 5 to 6.30 yesterday evening.
I think the heartlands rally was on too so it could have been one of those cars if it was up near Portlaoise

Looking well. I was looking out for it as I was passing back through the town a few minutes later.

I did actually think it was a rally car at first but I'm 99% sure it was you alright. I think it was just north of Roscrea ish area. It definitely stood out anyway.

You know what, I always think of the hassle you had with yours when I consider buying one every three or so months! There's not much else in a petrol that interests me at this stage!

Drove the northern section of the wild Atlantic way, a couple of weeks ago... No better car for it!

Ran into a super car parade in ballymastocker strand! The Aventador had a dirty sound. Great trip, 4wd helps in the rain.

vintagevrs · 10-06-2019 10:22pm

I met them that day too. Driven club NI after some googling. They are a car club if you have an exotic/interesting car, cheap membership and they organise drives and events out then for members then.

Is the orange car McLaren P1? With blue Audi R8

McLaren was a 570 or something. Yeah, that was a V10 R8. Sounded almost straight piped coming up the hill.

Picked this up at the weekend up North , lovely drive back down through some twisty roads very fun car to drive , great engine note in behind you. At first I thought the brakes were shot as they were so firm but when it seems in this car you have to really press them and they come slamming to life.

traco · 11-06-2019 8:37pm

That brings back fond memories of my car when it used to be clean.:o Irish summers. :rolleyes:

johndaman66 · 16-06-2019 12:42pm

Nothing overly elaborate in comparison to some of the very fancy metal being posted on here. My mundane every day family saloon but being a Strata model it has got a few trick features for its time such as auto lights and wipers and auto dimming rear view mirror

tossy · 16-06-2019 7:50pm

Safely parked up within spitting distance of Semple today (thanks to help from a fellow Boardsie)

GustavoFring · 16-06-2019 9:29pm

I've a soft spot for them too. Someone at work had a V60 R Design, lovely looking car.

I've seen a few Leon ST Cupras for sale too, must be 1/4 of all the Cupras I've seen lately. Golf R estate looks well.

A4 Avant is another one.
