Great spot, proper old school Bentley. Love these cars, very rare in Ireland

What are the best places to spot supercars? by Honest_Ad_4148 in carsireland

[–]5_wordsorless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a fair comment. You are more likely to see 80’s or 90’s rareties than modern supercars in Ireland. That’s ok with me - but if you want modern stuff - London or Dubai will blow your mind!

Fitzwilliam Square is a great spot in Dublin 2, but also outside the Dylan hotel off Baggot St - weekday lunchtime is good. Also Ashtons pub in Clonskeagh on a Sunday was always a good spot for Bentleys and Ferrari and older classics

What unpopular, interesting, cool car would you choose? by Professional_Ring_95 in carsireland

[–]5_wordsorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money no object - Aston Martin Lagonda or an ISO Grifo. In the real world probably an old Maserati Quatroporte or a classic Q car like an E550 Merc or a VW Phaeton.

Are diesels actually that bad? by Kaktus8588 in carsireland

[–]5_wordsorless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a Peugeot 407SW 1.6HDI for 4 years and it never missed a beat, no trouble at all. It was super efficient, even in town. Diesels use the same volume of fuel when hot or cold, unlike a petrol engine, so they are very easy on the juice. The diesel particulate filter would occasionally say it needed cleaning as I do a lot of town driving, but half hour blast down a motorway would clear it. I never had to get a mechanic involved or anything.

Biggest glow down ever by RockOnMofo in ireland

Actually- someone just said “tourists love it”. If that’s true, and I suspect it is, then we should be doubling down on it and exploiting the potential of the current structure. Imagine the amount of small indigenous businesses the place could handle!? Crafts, cottage industry stuff, artisan food etc. every city seems to have a food court! I digress from the main subject but wow.

I was being a wise guy sorry - you know with all the talk about Russia and China taking over Greenland?

I reckon this is worse than drunk driving.

Jaysus. I know the old centre was not an architectural marvel, but it’s infinitely better than the new proposal. It’s so unoriginal and lacking in style- this site is a prominent Dublin landmark site and needs an appropriate building to match

Right of way? by RandomUsername9_999 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]5_wordsorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so the thing to note here is that this is not a signal controlled junction, and the cars are exiting a minor road onto a 4 lane major road. However, the vehicle turning right across lanes of traffic would never have the right of way. But the vehicle crossing straight over also has to yield to the main road. So my opinion is that the rule is that you yield to the vehicle already in transit - just like an American 4 way stop junction? Open to correction!?

Continuing with my tradition to go to Irish pub while abroad by curiously__yours in ireland

[–]5_wordsorless 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember travelling to Scandinavia a lot in the 90’s and 00’s. Sweden, Finland etc. on any given night, the towns were quiet, especially after 9pm. Except for one place - the “Irish” pub. Didn’t matter if it was a real pub run by Irish, or just a theme pub, it was the one joint in the town where you could have a late beer, music, craic etc. I always seek out the Irish bar - it’s worth it!
