No. The only one I see regularly is the bright orange Diablo on Northern (?) plates. Havn't seen it in a few months though. Mostly Irish plates for me: DB9s, Vantages, 360s, etc. The Gallardo is on Irish plates too. Still waiting for one of the supposed 2 SLRs that are in the country to raise it's head .

Hi guys.

Been lurking in the wings for a while so thought this would be an appropriate topic to introduce myself.

I'm living in Dublin for 10 years now and for the past 6 months have been the very proud owner of a Black 996 Carrera. It's completely wasted on my daily cross-town commute but it still puts a huge smile on my face when I turn the key in the ignition, and every so often I get to get it out on a nice, quiet, country road...

Look forward to talking to you all.

....the first thread in the Irish forum to make it to a second page!

...out of small acorns and all that.

At this rate we will have enough numbers for a Dublin PH meet. Anyone on for a "Tunnel Run" when the Port Tunnel opens!

At €12 a pop? One run through, College of Surgens carpark is 24hrs, and pints for the night . I'll run along making v8 noises just to mix it up a bit . Mind you, an 'aul meet up at mondello in the Summer would be good. BTCC?

You should join the Porsche Club Ireland, there is a great athmosphere, the people
are nice and passionate, and there are a good few Porsche only track days.

This is the site, although not updated, otherwise Google it.

Next Porsche day at Mondello is the 28th of March, see you there !

Hi all,

This is only my second post on this forum but I have some sad sad news for Irish Porsche fans - Howard Langridge was found dead in his workshop yesterday, died from a suspected heart attack. My dad just emailed me from Dublin and one of his Porsche owning friends just told him.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

May he rest in peace. So sad. He was Ireland's true Porsche Independent!
