Tony McGregor's coinage rant made into bizarre indie song - on Tony's Insta story

Tony McGregor isn't above laughing at himself as he demonstrated by sharing a clip from a viral song parodying his 'notorious' coinage rant about the DART.

The Dublin Area Rapid Transit (or is it Transport?) came in for critcism from Tony back in 2018 over the course of an incredibly quotable 60-second video.

Some of the best lines included: “When I got to Lansdowne Road station I tendered a brand new crisp €20 note into the automatic machine looking for a single ticket to Dun Laoighaire.

“They had the bloody cheek to give me back coinage, €17.30, and a miserable little one-way ticket.

“They gave me all that coinage. I have no room to put those coins anywhere. I wear a slim-fit, hand-fitted Hugo Boss suit.”

People had a lot of fun with it at the time, including the man himself who ended up making 'coinage' a catchphrase in a few ads.

And now the former taxi driver has shared a clip from comedian Michael Fry's take on it in what is a random if still enjoyable throwback post.

Anyone who follows Tony on Instagram will of course know that his favourtie mode of transportation is his boat 'The 188' which he often happily spends many an hour cruising around in.

But he, like Conor, is also fond of his sports cars.

Earlier this year, he posed for selfies after being spotted driving around Ballina in a yellow Lamborghini Aventador valued at €324,000.

Tony stopped to chat to locals outside a hairdressers before posing for a snap inside the luxury sports car.

Sharing photos on his Instagram story, he wrote: "The Ballina crew."
