The Supercars In Northern Ireland!

[AKU]

A friend of mine said her uncle had a Diablo, if I remember correctly she said he lived in Bangor. He owned one of those "adult" shops on Gresham Street/ Smithfield Square. It may have been a white car though

Taking his shop into account, are you sure the Diablo he owned referred to an exotic car and not an exotic something else?

That guy used to live in Ballymoney for a while, if my memory serves me right it was a purple Diablo. He also had a light blue metallic Venturi Atlantoque and a purple Plymouth Prowler.

DIABLO

This is one of Sudeshs cars, he took very VERY ill around 2013, so doesn't know now to log in or Exeter password etc. Could the owners of the club contact me to do this. I'm also now in charge of the "nipistonheads" group on FB and possibly need a second person involved. I'll try and keep that...

I wonder how Sudesh is doing?

They're awesome, although i'd feel somewhat underwhelmed (in a sense) if mine was grey/silver lol. i think a diablo should be a 'popping' colour

EDIT - not saying i wouldnt creme my pants to a grey one

From memory he did post on here a year or two back explaining what had happened him.

Sudesh
Hate to say it, but it seems like it could happen to enyone! I wasn't out and about or doing illegal substance, never have in all my life! Just simply sitting that nite after a day's work, watching film/tv or reading a car mag probably. Then put my little son of 2 I think? To bed me and the partner went to bed, then simply woke up 5 months later in hospital!! Huge pipe down outside of my throat where they cleared airway and had to feed me. And other equipment pipes stuck in nose etc.

July 16 it would seem

I never seen the driver but very sad to hear about Sudesh, I hope he’s still recovering.
My favourite Diablo is the SE30, I love that purple. I do remember screaming at my Ma to pull over a Diablo is a Diablo.

Outside my old work. Sudesh let me have a hoke around it and I thought it was unreal to be honest.

Complete madness what happened and makes you think twice about delaying doing things at a young age.

Seen this in Kilkeel a few weeks ago, a local “Geezer” owns it, replaces a Porsche, definitely easy to spot.

Found this old snapshot which I think I took back in 1998 or so (on a disposable camera, remember them?) on the Groomsport Road in Bangor. The original Diablo with optioned spoiler (because otherwise you wouldn't really notice it).View attachment 256601

Around the time Jason Barlow was the editor of Top Gear magazine. His dad was mates with mine and he had a red 355 around that same time. We lived literally round the corner from where that pictures taken.

I remember this at a show in the Kings Hall i even think it was on the RMS stand but cant fully remember.

 

[NickR]

Yeah, but soon realised he was a Porsche man so had to have another.

He had this lovely Crayon Gen2 GT3 recently too.

Automotive perfection right there!

Delete.... this is not the Porsche thread

Another one from a few years back, just pulling out of parking on Main Street Bangor. Sounded like a bloody ship engine.

 

[Shannonsir]

^^^^ if it's the same car this guy has had it for years, and I put a head unit into years ago when I was in Halfords. Absolutely awesome machine.

I'm pretty sure it used to be parked just off the roundabout in Ards as you are heading up the hill to Bangor.

Still would be, quite a lot.

 

[Cossers]

I’m struggling with the model, what is it?

 

[Father Stack]

Is it an 80s Vantage?

I'm thinking a DBS around mid 70s?
