Summer 2015. I never posted those before and because we are starting part 3 so i though it is a good opportunity.

Photos taken at Salon Privé Concours d'Elégance - Blenheim Palace. UK

Enjoy.

That Diablo GT... drool.....

The Reventon just isn't special any more. It looks like a watered down Aventador.

ofcork · 02-02-2016 4:34pm

Love the F12 best looking ferrari now imo and its got a V12.

Greg81 · 02-02-2016 4:40pm

From all the cars I have seen there i would take F40 and I would not hesitate a minute.

What on earth is going on with the roof of the silver Lambo spyder? Looks like an umbrella that got caught in the wind! :eek:

The Reventon was never special IMO - that particular car has been for sale for years now. It's rare but at the end of the day it's a Murcielago with a ridiculously overpriced bodykit. Same goes for the Veneno. Hard to take Lambo seriously when they come out with rubbish like that.

They've been doing it ever since Audi took over. There's been countless special and limited editions of the Gallardo to the point that none of them are actually special.

So I found myself very un-busy around Co. Louth today. Spotted a few nice cars in the few hours I was there though!

Mercedes C220d (AMG according to Motorcheck). Looks great from the front but horrificly ugly from the rear.

Ford Fiesta Red Edition. Nice car all around but the interior was very nice for such a small car. Everything just lit up once you open the door - even the cupholder has a red light around it!

The new Ford Mondeo. The colour is unbelievable. Thats really all I took the picture for :pac:

And then this BMW M3. I couldnt really walk by without taking a picture of it

Duke O Smiley · 03-02-2016 11:49pm

That C class coupe is comical looking from the rear.

It looks like they just resized a picture of the saloon on MS paint

NickDunne · 03-02-2016 11:55pm

Mercedes have really lost the run of themselves lately with the styling of some(all) of their range. That C class looks pitiful.

Autosport · 04-02-2016 12:27am

A white Merc gla ( no pic) as I was driving but it looked like a Merc and quasqui had a baby, fugly

Oral Surgeon · 04-02-2016 1:15am

It's the lack of a muscular rear wheel arch that kills the design IMO.....

Muscular arches aren't going to help much when the rear looks like it got too close to a heat lamp and started melting :eek: Talk about a saggy ass!

JohnBoy26 · 04-02-2016 3:34am

That fiesta looks a bit tacky with that red and black paint scheme. Those 2 colors don't go well together on that car.

goochy · 04-02-2016 8:08am

Doubt if that's an m3 ? I thought when saw pics of c class coupe it would make a s class coupe seem a waste of money as they looked so similar but as with c class saloon just shrinking a s class and doing nothing else doesn't work

I saw it a few months back at heatwave. It wasn't to my taste but still a nice car.

The CDI doesn't look great but the new C63S coupe looks the business.

NickDunne · 04-02-2016 10:08pm

Saw these 2 wagons in the same car park today

This one is absolute perfection...

vandriver · 04-02-2016 10:39pm

Not so much what I saw (a merc saloon),but where it was from .Nauru.
It's a speck of an island 2000 miles of the coast of Australia.

Where?

In Rathgar tonight.There's only 1500 cars on the island

Marcinek_55 · 05-02-2016 4:41pm

For me C-Class Coupe looks awesome. Of course I'm talking about C63/S AMG Coupe. The one on the photo looks comic cse of way the photo was taken. It's not straight... if you know what I mean. Look at the hYunday in the background its very high and very narrow someone use some fish lens or something what distort photo...

http://preview.netcarshow.com/Mercedes-Benz-C63_AMG_Coupe-2017-800-18.jpg

On this photo C63 Coupe look great IMO and i'd like to buy one but I haven't got spare €100.000 + around extra €20.000 for options.

wotzgoingon · 05-02-2016 6:53pm

What you don't have a spare €120

We ain't on continent. €100,000.00 and €20,000.00

Well condisdering you couldn't walk past a diesel merc, a fiesta and a Mundeo without taking a pic, it would have been a shame to walk past the M3.

(i'd have the merc or mondeo over that M3 though, then i'd sell them and buy something nicer)

The things you do when your bored in a small town :pac:

Orange leather interior inside the M3 too.

Thought I saw a new shape C63 saloon in Brilliant Blue in the petrol station just past the Audi garage in Waterford this morning (didn't get a great look so can't be sure), anyone else?

Definitely saw a 161-D M4 driving through Waterford earlier, black alloys aswell, looked very nice

Duke O Smiley · 07-02-2016 12:46am

New Mx5. First I've seen in the flesh
