As area coordinator for the mx-5 Northern Ireland area may I say you will be made very welcome on this island, both by our friends in the south and us up north. I look forward to meeting up with you at some time during your trip, our web site mx5ni.com is down at the moment but hopefully will be up and running again soon. meanwhile I will follow your plans on this site.
I also hope to meet up with you all from MX5 Ireland some time this year or how about you doing a run in this direction.
Peter Morrow


Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for your warm welcome, we're booking accomodations right now, once we have fixed them, we'll share our plans in this forum, off course it would be wonderfull if we can meet irish MX5 fans during our holydais in Ireland.

Impressing shot Steve, a bit frightening... :?

Nice! :D

I think it will bi a long day, because we would like to visit the typical tourist places on the run between Belfast to Letterkenny. It would be great to have a local guide. :roll:

belfast to letterkenny takes about 1hr 45mins normally, so it may not be that long a day altogether. i have never travelled the coast road but i am sure some of our NI friends will help us out.

Hi barney,

It seems that the coast road on the nord of Belfast is really nice, and there are some really wolerfull touristic atractions in this area, so I'm pretty sure we will not be bored this day.

Hi goseatonio, Some of the N.I. mx5s should be able to meet you on your run up from Dublin probably at Newry, if you have time then a run through the Mourne's and on to Belfast. I am sure that some will also wish to join you on the coast road run as well.
