    ....yesterday in Oranmore, there was a 'motorsports' day, which was done as a fundraiser. I didn't know at the time the the young man in question (Paul Gallagher) the fundraiser was for, was paralysed after an accident in a Rally in February.

    The event was organised by Frank Byrne Autobody repair, and all proceeds went to the injured man's family. It was a fabulous day out, and the machinery was fabulous. Car of the Day for me was the Supercharged (!) '73 RX-3.

    Mattie Griffin out-stunted himself on the bike, again. Mind boggling, really........

    A sad reason for what turned into a great day out, and my hat's off to the organisers - I hope you made a fortune for the family.

    My few pics, here.

    Enjoy, and if you can, or if there's a petrolhead club near you, you could do worse than support this good cause.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
