I poop myself with that Exige. Also...

Lol the hitch looks like a p3n0rz

I took that one just for mx6 dudes as I think it is a JDM one isn't it? (too used to them in NZ...) Ireland had heaps of jap imports floating around.

56k?? really? ah well, the aston pic was worth a look if you ask me. also, the burnt out starlet was kinda interesting. I was thinking of parking the car about 1km from there for the night until I saw that. Then I thought twice.

^ Those road pics are just amazing. Good LORD I want to visit there with my either the bike or the Z4. Its like a race track, just perfect asphalt, no traffic or pedestians, and amazing corners. I want to visit Europe SO badly.
Awesome pics though.

As for Aston's: this was spotted downtown about a week ago. Just pure sex. I love the Aston's too

and this one a few days after

Let me assure you that you DO NOT want to visit Irish roads with a bike or low car. they are all very very rough...

pot holes, lumps, etc etc, there were a couple of sports bikes ahead of us on one road, and my girl was keeping up in our overloaded carina! if they went any faster they would have been bucked off. it was that bad. i hit the roof of the car with my head once... i swear we got some air that time, and there must have been sparks lol

good fun, but only with the right toy. not for bikes. not smooth. not close to smooth. british roads are fairly bumpy and crap too, nz roads are much more fun on the most part. there are probably some good ones around the rest of europe, and i hope to video them too, but ireland is not the place to take a bike!

Dont they have burt out cars in NZ ?

Near where I used to live you could gurantee that there would be a new burnt out car every weekend...we used to call that road auto alley....that starlet still had the alloy intact..i've seen some where the only thing left was iron and glass, it got so hot/

Yeah, in the dodgy parts where you DO NOT want to sleep in your car for the night...

And very rarely anywhere else...

Ireland was pretty dirty and a bit dodgy in places. Pretty nice in other parts. I'll do a scenery thread at some point too, I have some nice shots to share.

Also, "or france" where the audi lost against the climbers. that road was nice, even if Jeremy was driving like a total puussy!

Also, only the metal was there, the rocker cover was melted half away (as you can see) and the wheels were steel, not alloy. alloy wheels pretty much always at the very least slump, if not burn away all together. mags always burn, but anyone burning mags should be shot in the nuts!
