Driving up the Malahide road today around Clare Hall and all of a sudden spot a Bugatti Veyron (NI plates) up ahead! Pull up beside it, such an amazing car, your man driving it almost hit me as he pulled out of his lane into mine, possible mental expensive mistake!
Anyway these things are soo wide, I know we saw one at the Phoenix Park races last year but to be up near one in traffic is truly cool.

What recession?!

I don't think anyone has reg'd a Veyron here, VRT must be mental (and it's €2k a year to tax

)

Wonder what they have as the OMSP!! :lol:

but if you can afford to buy a Veyron you're not going to be worried about 2k a year tax!

yeah the tax is for nothing, was a UK reg well, Norn Iron, so they may have a house that cost 15k and keep the car here for tax reasons! OMSP is probably about 10 million euros if the 'government' have anything to do with it. I remember one guy in the papers a few years ago was being charged 335,000 for VRT on a Carrera GT! He didn't bring it in in the end, wonder why. Actually I've been in touch with the guy in Galway who owns a Veyron, I email him to see if he knows, watch this space!

interesting, as the one I spotted on the Malahide Road yesterday had a different reg!

by **fatboyfat7** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:17 pm

I think the guy with cash and carry kitchens may have sold his...

Guys what is going on in these pictures. Is the Bugatti broken down and they are trying to rise the front of it to get it on the truck. Or is it being delivered

That's the FTO meet last year at Phoenix Park Races, they were mobbed!There's a few snaps of mine if you search the forum. The guy who owns it used some of my pics on his website afterwards!

Just been talking to a guy who owns one here in Ireland and I quote;

'About €600k since VRT increase in July' Unbelievable! :smt119

It'd be cheaper to buy a house in England, just to use as an address to register it at :roll:

by **mark** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 10:49 pm

Totally, that's what i'd do

by **optical illusion** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 11:13 pm

If you can afford a veyron, then you can afford another house in england
