Kerry run (best ever!) 14th Nov 2009 - Photos and Thanks.

[Fla]

Hi guys and gals,

Im still alive!! I did make it to the train and just got back 10 mins ago so it was a long day, but the rugby was fantastic!!

Thanks so much to all of you for making the long and wet journey down. Im delighted you all enjoyed the mad roads, for anyone who hasnt done the Borlin it will be done again, its one of the madest rally stages in the county. Me and sideways did tear the arse out of it!! As ye see my car went home on the back of a trailer, first time she's died like that but lets hope its not an expensive fix. I was gutted I didnt get to do the Healy..

Last night was great craic, that pole dancing had us all smiling!! It was great to meet all the new people I hadnt met before and magnum PI Rigs as usual!!

Id hope to have my five back in action by December and if that happens I'd love to do another casual run in december before the holidays. The healy in the wet is so scary but fantastic, think on the next run Ill get someone to follow me in the jeep and trailer!!!

If anyone is ever down this way ye are always welcome to call and we'll go for a spin. I have a list of other roads to take ye on including the Glengariff Tunnel which I must show ye.

I'll be online a lot more from now on again so Ill be in touch. Great pics by the way, if I can Ill post a video from the healy from a couple of years ago to give anyone who hasnt been there an idea of how nuts it is.

Looking forward to seeing you all again

Moll's, Borlin, Tim Healy, sounds like a great day out!

Did the cars bottom out much over Borlin? Did it a few years ago on a similar run, and a lot of the lads on lower suspension setups found they were grinding quite a bit.

Jesus lads - what a fantastic weekend!!!! Shattered after the late nights and the driving but still buzzing. Brilliant route (thanks Fla), great people and what about that weather???? Who would have thought we were going to have the tops down all day??? Amazing scenery. Can't wait for the next run already. Thanks John and Mairead for breaking up the boring drive home yesterday for us. Some fun roads with pheasant and sheep through Kildare. Thanks for the much needed pit stop too back at your place!.

Getting to the stage where myself and Seán might need a car each to prevent us fighting over the keys and who's turn it is to drive. As John says great to see couples on the runs. It's not just for the boys, the girls can have fun too on and off the roads!!!

Thanks to everyone for a very special weekend. Hoping to catch up with everyone soon. Very reluctant to put the car away for the winter!!!

Ann,

You had your chance to try it on but missed out on that, and a great day's driving top on or off

That's just the prototype

[anniniwa]

You see I knew it was only the sample he was wearing...could tell by the quality, I'm waiting for the real Mc Coy!

Reeeeally sorry I missed all those tops on and off now, should have went bald tyres and all,parked up and watched the chest beating displays

[leamyj]

Maybe just as well you didn't come along . Nothing would have given me a bigger smile than to have seen you on the pole in the club on Saturday night with the other ladies, but given your tendency to have "mishaps"...well, we probably would have spent the night in A&E!!!!

Me???? NEVER!!! 'I'M A LAAADY U KNOW!!'

....but if I wasn't I'd be a dab hand considering I've been walking around with a pole (crutch) for the last 4 weeks!!

Territorial leaks were made at:
stop 1, 3, lunch stop, some pub (x3), chinese (x1), hotel room, petrol station, cashel (lunch on the way home on sunday).
So ya'll know the route we took. I can now take it blind-folded just following my scent
