Heard some boy bought one of these in Galway alright - I presume this is the one.

1000BHP Supercar - strange that it had to arrive on a flatbed :lol:

Did they start it up - what did it sound like ?

5 people, 3 cars another poor turnout. I was going to take some pics at the end but the other two cars headed off before us so I didn't get a chance. CJ or Colm might have gotten some pics of us :?:

Same car - was recently speaking to the dealer who sold the car - he mentioned who bought it as well.

Sorry I didn't make the meet - The match traffic to Croker held me up - got to Dublin fairly late on.

The Cayenne isn't a good ad for Porsche anyway, alway reminded me of when Burberry started doing baseball hats, sure they sold a few, but they did their brand serious damage simply to satisfy a fad. Porsche should stick to building tail-happy sports cars.
