P.S. If J.L. is going, tell Henry to keep a close eye on him or that trailer will vanish :mrgreen:



That's scandalous!! ( It's the wrong colour/style anyway) :wink: My own trailer is under way too since the rest of the mk1 has been cannibalised, just trying to figure out a design for the front facing part, want to incorporate bbq facilities but must be able to be hidden away when not in use

Tom - you can relax. Lord Alex is now driving a Bentley and is heading the convoy from the Phoenix Park to Slane Castle!

So, I've been offered the Prowler to drive, which is very tempting...but I feel I want to be loyal to my '5... I may also be getting a spin in this:

Bren, you're welcome whatever you're driving... Aquarian it's cool, but we'll miss you.

Anne, sorry hun, I only noticed your link now... nooooooooo ....but never mind, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

I've been meaning to check out accomodation rates if anyone is staying over, but I just didn't get the time. Anyone particularly looking for a room? The Crown Plaza in Blanch is booked and the Castlenock Country Club is charging €109 without breakfast. I'm sure there's better out there, but you're probably best off doing an internet search.

AND THE LONG RANGE FORCAST IS MAINLY DRY AND SUNNY, SUNNY, SUNNY...

HiTeena,
I regret that JD and I can't make it.
JD has problems with overheating and my car is still in bits after I started fitting LEDs scattered throughout the interior and new driving lights.

:lol: How can I thank my MX5 buddies enough?

An amazing, wonderful day with smiles as wide as the world; and fun, and sun and the roar of hot engines and the sight of picnic hampers shared and raided!

30 wonderful cars - but my heart, my MX5 heart, made me proud. Thank you soooo much for coming and supporting, and keeping the faith, even when I'm running off around mountains, instead of pointing my wheels towards the West. I'll be back there!

We raised €1,500 for HOPE today and that's absolutely incredible. I'm chuffed to bits and proud as punch. I was so excited all day that I completely forgot to take any photos... but I know there are millions on the way - so I'll post with snaps asap.

Thank you, thank you, thank you....xxx :lol:

Well done Frank, they're great photos. I've pinched a few and put them up on the 98FM website. Here's a few more I've pinched from Conneem on Octane!

That yellow Stag only had 6 cylinders though (says he looking down his nose) ;-)

Can't remember the guy's name who owns the GT. Sound bloke though - he was giving people short trips up the road in it. You could hear it going up through three gears from about 2 miles away.

Rousche engine in that thing - think it's 7.5 litres. You could feel it through the ground and into the soles of your feet when it was arriving :-O

As Wallace would say, a grand day out.
