    It's always on around this time of year isn't it? Must pop over, home that weekend and it's only 10 minutes away.

    No - the classic show is normally late April / early May and the All American in September. Changed this year because it invariably pisses rain in September.

    Good beer, a quite interesting city and there's a restaurant called "Asterix" run by the students in the city. If you ever down there, call in there. Good cheap food and an interesting athmosphere.

    /M

    I lived and worked in Belgium for a couple of years (far more interesting place than you would imagine) and the town I worked in had loads of student ran bars. They were typically fcukin sh1tholes but with an 'anything goes' attitiude and beer for €1 a pop. You need to be 3/4 full of beer before you go near them though! :eek:

    If you like your yank tanks definitely! Biggest collection of American cars / trucks / bikes you'll see in this country.

    Are you not based in Cork though?

    Do you speak with a hot potato in your mouth!?! :p

    There would probably be around 600 cars and trucks at the Kilbeggan gig so there's lots to see. Best show of the year (IMO) is the GAScc Clubs gig in Cork. It's a big cruise (maybe 60 cars) followed by car display, BBQ, numerous bands, DJ and rivers of beer. On 9th June, The Viaduct, Bandon Road, Cork.

    I know what you mean, but this is quite different from that. It's a proper restaurant.

    So I washed the car, it was either that or study I'm also going to park in the city tomorrow for work and didnt want to look like a big cultchie with a dirty car

    :pac:

    Have to say the AutoGlym HD wax is almighty stuff, Great coverage, really easy to buff off and I didnt even make an impression on it, looks like it will last forever where as I would have used quarter of a bottle of liquid wax.

    don't buy an automatic as they've got a bit of a bad rep, may as well go for 3.0 if you're doing it at all, and has to have leather. Listen out for rattly timing chain and clunky suspension, make sure everything electric works.

    Well if you go jaaaaag you do need auto, but auto is crap in these? :( ah well.
    well up to 3.0 there are only few luxo ships out there: 728, s-type, gs300. I guess jag is off the books.

    Quarter of a bottle of liquid wax?! You're using waaaayyyy too much if that's the case lad! All you need is enough to put a light coat on the car. Anything else is pure waste!

    I've seen S14's and 300zx TT's passed by many a Honda on that track....would have the legs on the straights but not in the corners....:P

    To be fair though, it really depends on both cars and drivers.

    Ah I know, I saw it myself, there was a Gold EK9(I think) at the time that I could never catch....straights or not:eek:


    I prefer the skyline though, I used two suspension set ups, one for grip driving, then a few tweaks in the pits later, and it was back out for some endless sliding fun....you can't do that it a civic/teg:P
