    Welcome, Anton!

    Recently, I was discussing the presence of Ferraris in Ireland. Do you see them often? Any idea how many might be over there? I'd be interested in learning more about the car culture in Ireland. Lots of interesting cars? Do you see cool cars all of the time, or just at car shows?

    Aaron, no, I was discussing it with an English/Irish lass one Wednesday night. She caught my eye, and anything she said would've sounded interesting. But now I'm genuinely curious. :)

    Can't speak for Anton, and it seems (for reasons unknown to me that he can no longer speak for himself!) but I'll chime in on this one for you......

    No, we don't see many out and about more's the pity. A quick search shows 14 for sale on one of the more popular web sites ...... the more informed among us can probably interpolate that into national ownership?

    Car culture is all about the "racer-boy" (and girls) these days. Multiple exhaust pipes with diameters up to 4 inches on Japanese four pots being all the rage!

    Sorry Mate, "Anton" posted a link with an old school logic bomb in it that made some members have to reboot their comps. Needless to say, that is a no-no here.

    Hey Greg, I take it you're from Dublin too? Any pictures of your Ferrari?

    Very nice! I've seen the car several times, the most recent being last May, though, I'm not sure if you owned it at that time?

    I took delivery in July '09 so I guess you saw it in the hands of another.

    Obviosuly "downtown" is downtown Dublin then?

    Greetings,

    Grew up in Ireland and "took the boat" like most of my generation, good to see that there are Ferraris in Dublin, saw a red 360 spyder in Cork last summer while visiting family.

    Easier to buy and own over here (Florida) which probably keeps me here rather than returning home.
