    Went along today. Took ages to find the Gaol as there is no signposting once you are off the N11. Finally got there at 4pm and the place was deserted - not a vintage to be seen.

    Bit annoying considering the add said it would go on till the evening. I was not the only one either there was plenty of people I saw turn up, wonder what the hell was was going on and leave.

    So thanks to whoever organised this for wasting alot of peoples time!

    Went over around 1:30pm today. Good turnout of everything from RS rally cars through fire appliances and even a vintage army bike and sidecar. Lots of fords, a Lotus, VW's, Ferrari, Sprites, Corolla 'Deluxe', Triumphs, a few Morris including a tidy woodie, Trans Am etc.

    I can advise that there are no less than 3 signs on the short drive from the N11 directing folks to Wicklow Gaol. On the basis it's a key part of Wicklow towns tourism business, it's hardly surprising it's quite easy to find....Sorry to say so....

    Well done to the organisers - Great job and a lovely day for the spin over too.

    Yeah I'm sure it was great but since when is 4pm the evening? If I had known it was going to be over by then I would have had no problem leaving early this morning. A little sign to say it was finish would have been handy, rather than just a locked gate. There was alot of dissapointed people there.

    To be fair most shows start filtering out by 4 pm anyhow (if not before), no matter how big or well known.

    Any pics lads?
