Galway (Retrobates Run) - pics !

Postby galwaytt » Sat, 25 Apr 2009 11:19 +0000

..o.k., only got a few all day, what with being 'occupied' all day. Looking forward to seeing more.

Once again, it seems I've proven that a Porsche is indeed, the Perfect Family Car :lol: :lol: Even performs doughnuts admirably, 4-up, on sand :twisted: :twisted:

Best of all, this years' spin didn't cost me a Flywheel :mrgreen: !

Pics here: HERE

Post all links to ye're pics here too !

yeah, class day, great to meet up with the non-MX5's too.
As Dave said, a day full of close calls .. and one call ;-)

Weather turned out great, roof down 90% of the time!

Yeah, PJ its looks great!

Pity about the weather today, highlight of the day was the reception we got at Hilly's ... WOW! She's really raised the bar for techdays!
Finished up the roof + roll bars, such a class car (see pics link).

Close up of trees? No.. he wanted a closer look at my reg plate .. ;-) He kinda landed on me ;-)
We were driving up a borreen and met a car, Ivan stopped, I stopped .. but it was just round a blind corner.. Frank came round and fair play.. managed to avoid a bad shunt into my rear bumper.. luckily for me it was exactly on the spot where someone had reversed into me ;-) Unluckily for Frank.. it was exactly the spot he'd just had repaired..

Thanks to everyone for these weekend, was great fun, Can't wait for Dave's write up. :lol: Lesbians heeeey. :lol:
Hilly thanks for lunch it was spot on, and your car looks stunning the colour is amazing on it and the red roof is perfect with it.
I didn't take many pics tbh, partly cause i was off on my own for a good while on saturday :roll: but mainly as i was to busy driving like i just stole the car trying to keep up with the turbo boys.
Anyway great weekend. Can't wait for the next run.

Even if my visit was short it was nice to put a few faces to the names... and been there for Omey Isl was great and well worth the drive down.

Steve I wasn't sure did you have another bit of car trouble out side Leeanne? Thank for the heads up on where you were. If ya have the time would be nice to get a copy of the photos you took on the beach.

Again nice to meet all and hope to see again.

Glen

Oh and heres a few photos
