Great pics Marcin & sorry to hear about your Grandad.

Gremlinertia · 15-09-2019 10:17pm

Marcin, great photos as always, condolences to you and your family..

zilog_jones · 16-09-2019 2:27pm

Crappy dashcam picture, but I saw a Holden Ute (VE Commodore) still on New South Wales plates, in Cork.

"Omega" means it's only a V6 though

Rowley Birkin QC · 16-09-2019 6:08pm

A mix of stuff that I saw and drove over the last 10 days. I'll leave it to you to guess which I saw and which I drove. :P

Spotted in Italy a while ago

RS3 Dublin

192 Cupra Ateca think I've seen it before can't make it out great from dash cam. The rear view of it is better as well imo

Damien360 · 17-09-2019 10:46pm

I parked beside this today in NI. Model 3 I think. It said dual engine on rear and no other markings.

Ferrari GT4C Lusso in Dublin Airport

Marcinek_55 · 18-09-2019 1:14pm

Is that Audi R8 in the background ??

The Satanist · 18-09-2019 4:55pm

I didn't even notice lol I think it's a TT

Vents are going up to the lights like in R8 but then roof is very high and not sure if thats because of angle so i'm not sure what Audi it is.

Rattlehead_ie · 18-09-2019 6:20pm

Sorry for the not so great pic, but was in a bit of a rush

jozi · 18-09-2019 7:04pm

Nice, V12 vantage, can't be too many of those

Wasnt sure if it was a DBS or v12-Vantage, that clears that one up for me.Odd one, saw the car 9am in Wexford, strangely bumped into it again in Bray at 1pm, the sound!

Thought the same myself, vents are up to lights which is not on the TT. I think the roof looks high because of the natural distorsion on the phones camera. Looks like an M2 in front of it too

171 D Ferrari 488 heading North bound on N11 just now ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

jozi · 19-09-2019 9:28pm

Had a few hours to spare in London last Saturday, didn't have enough time to go to all the places suggested above but I got a few pics regardless. I also messed up my settings on the camera so about 75% of my pics were shot at ISO16000... my phone takes better photo's :eek:

I believe this is a AC Bristol? I spotted the Aston below and this was following it

Few other random pics

Plenty of others but the pics are rubbish quality...

Apparently that RRR1 Rolls belongs to the Beckhams.

I'm not sure if the exact location I spotted that but I did walk by a Beckham gallery that looked very busy

GeneHunt · 20-09-2019 9:43am

Seen in Westport last month

everlast75 · 20-09-2019 10:34am

Spotted near the M1 today. Had Shelby markings... reg number 06LH 6269

GeneHunt · 20-09-2019 10:46am

Here's a few pictures from Portugal, I got a great photo of the Maybach, but I only noticed later that the bloody settings was wrong on my phone :rolleyes: so I had to go back for another photo...

GeneHunt · 20-09-2019 10:48am

Here's a Model 3 in Portugal

Is that a Model X in the other lane :cool:

tossy · 20-09-2019 10:59am

Looks like a mazda cx5 to me

GeneHunt · 20-09-2019 11:37am

Looks like a Model X to me, funny seeing two opposites ends of the car industry side by side

Near sure RRR 1 belongs to a London RR dealer who has it on a demo car. I previously seen photos on instagram of it on a ghost and older phantom too and near sure one of the posts mentioned it was a dealer demo car but I could very well be wrong

Quick search suggests the same on a pistonheads topic

It was indeed! Well spotted

bigslick · 20-09-2019 4:33pm

Unfortunately didnt get pics but saw a 181 D Lamborghini Huracan Performante roar towards Leeson street this morning. Black with the thin italian stripe up the side. Gorgeous sound.

Identical to this one

Probably this one:

useless · 21-09-2019 9:31pm

A few from Frankfurt this year, and carrying on from Marcinek's post above, a Huracan Performante Spyder

and their new Sian

and an R8 Spyder

useless · 21-09-2019 9:56pm

Electric everything from a much smaller VW stand this year. New ID.3 isn't bad looking if you can imagine it with more normal wheels and more attractive paint.

Interior is a bit 'different'- those two screens and the glossy switches are going to be impossible to keep free of grubby fingerprints. Less garish colours are available...

All in all a nice car, but interior quality a bit below the Golf.

useless · 21-09-2019 9:59pm

Porsche Taycan, their first fully electric car

Be very, very afraid, Tesla.

useless · 21-09-2019 10:01pm

New Defender. Looks miles bigger than the old one.

useless · 21-09-2019 10:08pm

Mercedes had only about half the floor area they had in 2017. They showed off the EQS concept, think future S-Class.

Also showed the production version of the EQC, which is an X3/Q5 sized SUV and a very nice one too.

And just to show there's life in petrol power yet, they kindly brought along an AMG GT.

Mercedes-Maybach showed off their latest offering for African dictators and monstrously wealthy Asian businesspeople. If you told me Kim Jong Un had one of these, I'd believe it...

useless · 21-09-2019 10:14pm

BMW showed off the new 4 Series concept. Looks lovely from the side, if maybe a bit A5-ish around the rear side window.

But OMG that grille... it looks worse in the metal than in the photo

and their 'Vision Next' concept...

Alpina's stand was next door, highlight for me was their take on the 5 Series Touring...definitely getting one if I win the lotto.

useless · 21-09-2019 10:22pm

Several Chinese makers had stands this year. This offering is a Byton M-Byte, which apart from its stupid name, is a pretty good looking machine.

Think I remember reading that a guy from Cork was on their design team. Google will confirm.

Also, it wins the prize for the most ludicrous dashboard...

A company called Hongqi, who I'd never heard of, brought two concepts, a massive SUV and a sports car...

I've a few others, but these are probably the most interesting. Definitely was a lot smaller this year, lots of manufacturers missing (no Bentley, Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Nissan, Toyota/Lexus, Peugeot/Citroen, Fiat/Jeep, & others), those which did come all had smaller stands than before & showed fewer cars. Lot of focus on electrification, mobility, very little motorsport focus (Honda did show the Red Bull F1 car though). There is talk of it being scrapped in 2021, but hopefully it won't come to that.

Maybe, I genuinely dont know. But the Porsche looks better, I would bet my mortgage is built better, has the support of an extensive dealer network and has a stronger brand name. The Model S is a 5+ year old design (a good one, it still looks fresh) and has had the market for fast fully electric saloons to itself forever. Depending on how Porsche price it, the Taycan will be a serious challenger in that market. Will be interesting to see how/if Tesla can respond.

apparently the tesla was stripped out (seriously tinted windows can't confirm or deny that claim) but it did have bigger brakes and flared wheel arches than the standard car.....

wotzgoingon · 22-09-2019 1:32am

I'd believe it was striped out so if they done the external modifications. I wonder can you tune then for more power like a ICE car. I'd imagine you can like all cars as manufacturers turn down some stuff so cars last longer.

tossy · 22-09-2019 7:27am

I believe if you take the batteries out and put them in the other way round you get more horsepower.

Taycan will be over €300k in Ireland not a competitor to the Model S at all.

From what I hear It`ll be around €150k base and will go up to €200k+.

With the €50k BIK cap for exemption of EV`s brought in by big paschal in the last budget any of the company directors who would have bought one for the savings more than likely will not.

Here's what I saw today, mark 3 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)
