TONY McGREGOR gave followers a brief look inside his Porsche Panamera while out on an evening cruise around Dublin.
The dad of UFC superstar Conor shared an amusing clip that was soundtracked by the Norman Greenbaum classic ‘Spirit In The Sky’.

The Porsche, which will set you back at least €124,000, has a top speed of 280 km/h.
Back in November he similarly shared a clip that showcased its sleek interior.
He’s previously also been the owner of a yellow Lamborghini Aventador which costs €324,000 at a minimum to buy brand-new.
Conor of course boasts not only an extensive car collection of his own but also a private jet.
However, if one local councillor gets his way, the country’s mega-rich like him will have to give up their private planes.
GROUND AND POUND
Liam Sinclair of An Rabharta Glas-Green Left proposed a ban on them in a bid to reduce Ireland’s carbon footprint.
While the motion was defeated by 15 votes to eight with one abstention, he told Newstalk Breakfast that he is not going to give up on the issue.
He said: “They make a lot of pollution, so I think it’s just an easy way to have an impact on very few people and get rid of some of the pollution we’re putting into the atmosphere.
“This is a common sense thing that is going to have a minimal impact.”
He continued: “A lot of companies are aware of what’s going on with the climate and are reducing their private jet and flight [transport] anyway.
“So, they’ll take a step back. They’ll say, ‘Well, this was going to happen eventually. We’ll just fly commercial’ – which is damaging in its own.
“So, I don’t think that this small change would have much of an impact.”
However, they would still be allowed in the cases of diplomacy or medical emergencies.
Cllr Sinclair added: “Ideally, I think the Government should be using their jet as little as possible but I have attempted to be flexible in my motion.”
