 Topic: Whats the most exotic car you’ve seen?Posted: 17-April-2007 at 21:11 |

This morning on my way to work I saw a Ferreri F50. Couldn't believe it. It
was stuck in traffic on the N4 opposite the Texaco at Lucan. Roof off. Middle aged guy with a suit and a mustache driving. UK plates. I was going into the Texaco anyway so I got out and had a good look over at it. Really nice and REALLY big. Never ever thought I would see one of those on the roads here. Just got me wondering whats the most exotic car anyone has seen gracing Irish roads? EDIT: It was at 9:17am. Anybody else see it? Edited by flyingalexf68 |

Saw a Mercedes McLaren SLR in Denmark last summer; considering the on the road price in DK of 1.3 million Euros, they are pretty rare. I hear there are Veyrons in this country but have not seen any... My Dad had a friend in Denmark who had a Bugatti Type 35, went to see it once; my dad was lucky enough to get a drive in it. I am trying to think of the most exotic I've seen here and can only think of the "regularly" exotics like A-M's, 360's, Z8's etc. I drove a Ferrari 412i once out in Dergside's neck of the woods... Larzyh. |

Heard Ferrari were doing something at the Mansion house today in Dublin, might have been heading in for that.
F50 is a good spot, I think the rarest I have ever seen was a Maybach in the city centre, D Reg!! |

Lovely Blue Bentley Continental Convertible at Mondello Park races Easter Sunday Looked imposing yet neat with the top down Des Cullen's son Michael (Beacon Hospital) has a Maserati Quattroporte look classey compared to the Bentley. I go to a meeting at the RIAC Dawson st. every 2 months. There can be some interesing RIAC member cars parked in the garage, the latest I had a good look at was a RR Camargue, big and angular typical of the era it was designed in.

There is a thread on boards (Here's what I saw today) with plenty of rarities. Bentleys I think are now too common to be regarded as special.
One of my all time favourites (seen in France):  more... |

Privileged(?) as I am to marshal on the startline at the British GP - I see a number of 'exotic' cars owned by members of the BRDC, Bentleys, Merc's....etc, but last year there was a New GT40 - stupid car, a fat/high version of the proper GT40 it included leather seats - and air-con! |

Lucky enough to have been in Monaco last year and saw several, ones that stand out were a Gallardo Spyder, a couple of F430 Spyders and a Lambo Murciélago driving really really slowly around Casino Square...couple of guys gestured at the driver to rev the engine, which sounded amazing. |

Drove to Monaco 2 years ago... that place is exotic car central. After a while you seriously start to tune out the "bog standard" ferraris & porsches etc.
The nice ones: - McMerc - Viper GTS - uber modified 430 that was doing the F1 circuit continuously, mostly sideways! - UUUUUUUBER modified 911 turbo (filled the entire of monaco with exhaust note!) |

I was at the start of the 2005 Gumball, so I saw some crazy cars. Enzo, F50, F40, Countach, Diablo, Zonda, Merc CLK DTM, Farboud GT and so on. I also stayed in the same hotel as the Gumballers and I drove over. You can imagine my shock when I entered the car park, I have never seen a carpark so full of supercars. Was in Monaco as well and I visited the Lambo dealer where they had a Murcielago Roadster, very nice. There was a SLR, 911 Turbo, in fact every expensive car you can think of was there. Such a wealthy country. You really need to be in another county to catch a load of nice cars. Ireland is just too small to have that many, and most of them are just hidden away. My bro was in Killarney last year and stayed at the hotel where the Audi R8 was lodging as well. Oh I had a play with the orange Diablo as well when I was in Dublin city centre. I was in the Elise. I was behind him at one point and he reved his engine, my car actually moved from the vibration. Edited by Kin Mak |
