I had pull over today to get some fuel on the way to work, not realising that I had obviously been running on empty since I left my house.. 39 miles away. Mid way through fuelling I spotted this. A Gullwing with original classic plates. Ignoring the possible impending doom and disaster that could be caused by using your phone while filling up , I quickly grabbed a picture before he drove melodically down the motorway. I feel all of the funny feelings.

Is it just me or does he look like he's giving you the finger?

Did it have Maine plates and/or a blue interior? There's this guy with a Gullwing just like that who I've seen in CT twice on random days. He definitely isn't one of those "Oh, I'll never drive it! I have to keep it in good condition" kinda guys.
He took it to C&C New Canaan about a year ago, and it was my ultimate dream car back then (now it's just one of the many) and as the owner saw me taking about 150 pictures of the car, he walked over asked if I wanted to sit in it. I did. One of the best days of my life. Definintely a cool guy, just sharing the passion. If you ever see him I'm sure he would love to talk about the car. Grey with blue interior and the owner is always dressed somewhat fancy with very circular leopard sunglasses.

Actually Im a bit further away from Maine. Im in Ireland , it had Irish plates! But I did see a 2004 Taurus with Maine Plates in Dublin Airport last week. Why someone brought their Taurus over to Ireland .. I just don't get.

If Only I could have. I am a long haired Art student in A Honda Civic. I am possibly the least threatening person out there. If I tried to Car Jack him I would most likely get a " haha nice try buddy"

It was incredible, You never see cars like this In Ireland
JDM cars and the occasional US import are as exotic as things get

My dad used to do it when he worked in the US , but that Taurus had US plates .. meaning most likely they were on vacation ? Weird

Can’t be too many Gullwings around Ireland, so it’s probably the same one I saw one day on my smoke break when I worked in the old Ulster Bank head office on Georges Quay in Dublin. This would’ve been around 2006/07. Nice to see it being used as intended and not parked up.

I have seen it since once or twice around Dublin since this post , so I believe its part of one or two of the secret car collections within the inner city. As you said, nice to see the owner not too worried about racking up some miles :)
