Why would he offer to have us all stay then?

Hi I am new to this site and would love to join the April run I notice it all seems to be reference to the lads but I am no lad! But I love my 1990 classic mx5 ! And think a run sounds like great fun!

DEFO loads of space on my drive way, have an acre of land around house, so bring ur tents! Fit 20 plus cars in the drive way easily! Can arrange for new arrival to be with the outlaws that night!

Welcome along Penelope ( I assume that's your name). Yes, we are sadly lacking in lady members with the exception of one or two, maybe three, ladies contributing on a regular basis. You'd be more than welcome to come along to any gathering. The frequencies of such events WILL increase as the weather gets better, look forward to meeting you on one of them..which part of Wicklow you based?, I'm in Kildare so we might be near-neighbours

John

ye can run from tent to tent, I'll be well tucked up in my comfy bed, looking out the window smiling Toilet visits only 2 euro, toilet paper extra of course
