Boards Motors Meet?

Volvoboy

Just reading the ''Who Drive's What'' thread and as i met up with Overdriver last night and he had a beautiful Triumph, and it got me thinkin' should we all meet up someday as the long evenings are here, we talk about nothing else but cars (well talkin' for myself), well what do ya's think just an idea, i'll leave it up to Mods to sort it as i would'nt know my ear from my arse when it comes to somthing like this.

Anybody up for it?

Great idea, we should invite the bike heads too (Just saying that cause I fit into both categories)

Volvoboy

The more the better!

Yup! Seen as they dress like pole-dancers they might as well act like them!

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread, it's a damn good idea VolvoBoy- definately interested and hope it comes to fruition.

With some of the people here? Are you crazy?

If you could filter out the insane and the PC brigade then maybe

We can have a race up so...... I'd be on for it too but where to meet up?

ZiabR

Great idea mate, i would be up for it.

rebel.ranter

Would be interesting. How about a poll for potential locations? There seems to be a good coountrywide spread, Cork, Galway, Dublin etc.

colm_mcm

Somewhere in the midlands may be the best compromise. maybe coincide with another motoring event if there is any soon

patrickc

Carlow then I don't have to travel, along the FAST lane!!!!!

gyppo

Don't know if it would be a good idea - we'd probably bate the sh1te out of one another, going by some of the threads here:D

Seriously, excellent idea, and Colm's suggestion of the midlands suits me fine:)

Volvoboy

Yea the midlands would be the best compromise as there is boardsies all over the country, waterford, cork, dublin, again would'nt really know the best location for it,

I'd probably be up for it, sometime in June though as my manager's on my ass for not working enough hours at the moment....ungrateful f******, i'm reducing his wage bill for him and he's still not happy...and probably north Tipp or somewhere round there

Should we carpool:D , my car ain't built for comfort travel!!

junkyard

Sorry ninty9er no FF'ers allowed, it would only cause friction.:D

No Greens either please. I'm sure junkyard wouldn't appreciate his X5 or Q7 being keyed!!

crosstownk

I'm up for a meetup too - but I can't believe that nobody has mentioned beer yet!!! Given my penchant for beer I'd be inclined to say lets meet in Dublin...... I'll be castigated for it, but the only reason is so I can have a pint or two - I don't get out often these days, so any excuse will do. If it has to be the midlands then so be it.

hehe wouldnt that defeat the whole idea of a motors meet?

thats what the boards beers meets are for?

how about somewhere in athlone or tullamore?? both pretty central, but i dunno, depends where the most people are comin from i suppose??

andrew_ireland

How about tonight (Friday) in the Crown in Wexford city? I'll defo be there!

So are you suggesting a drunken rally race off.... lol

crosstownk

Right - looks like it's going to be a 'beer free' event (not free beer, unfortunately). Why I mentioned beer is because I'd be inclined to go without the car, I doubt very much that anyone would be interested in my Zafira - including me:D

Andrewf20

I reckon im interested too, once its within 50ish miles of Dublin.

Fey!

Maybe Athlone; those in the east have a Motorway most of the way now!!! Also, as someone said, it's central, and it means that the rest of us don't need to go near the pale!!!

prospect

Dunno, I'd be afraid that Junkyard would drain the oil out of my Alfa, just to prove a point...








*only joking

junkyard

Who me???:eek: Do you actually think your Alfa would make it past the half way mark?;) Only joking, I have two lovely Alfa's for sale at the moment, great cars so they are, the two I have any way.;)

It should be the fast lane - you should have to be doing 90 to be in it!

cormie

Everyone in the back of my van, I'll need as many as I can fit so I can get a push when I break down:D

I suggest Darragh's garage and have demonstrations and activities lined up and I'll put my van in as the demonstration piece.

Tell him there's a 'kebab' out to get you. A bad 'kebab' at that!

If this should happen I suggest Portlaoise as its pretty good in terms of access for most people.

Mike.

FFS mods get the finger out and sort a place for a meet, fair play to mike65 for recomending a place, but mods in your capacity banning people and giving out isnt all ya can do.

Fey!

How about Birr castle or somewhere similar?

Cosmo K

Would NCT personal be welcome??? Even worse, german NCT staff????:D

Atomic Pineapple

theres a few spots around athlone you could organise a meet, am not sure about portlaoise?

Sure enough, Mike. But Athlone is probably better for most non-SE people as it is right in the centre of the country. Anyway, Dublin to Athlone should not take more than 30 minutes in a dedicated BMW lane*

*Why are people taught it is an overtaking lane? It really is a "get out of the fooking way" lane
