take a pill, people.
For the record, it's €10 if you pay in advance, it's only €20 on the day. As I'm bringing 4 people, that's 2.50 each. Less than the price of a glass of Coke, I'd wager.........
And having organised more vintage rallies (timed, that is...) than is good for me
I can only assume this is probably a tactic to have people register in advance - which is a good idea. There's nothing more stressful than having people queued up at 5-minutes-to-go and looking for change of a 50............:rolleyes:......when you should be out marshaling traffic, or just enjoying the day.
True, local shows such as Shrule are great - and Moutnbellew too - and the dinner was fan-tastic (apologies to Derek Mooney ).
The trophy wasn't crap, either, btw.
And the free-exhibitor model is a great idea - so long as there are more visitors than exhibitors - it's not always the case, remember.........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”

We had a nightmare when the rain came down and everyone wanted to leave at once. It is, as you and imagine hard to get several thousand cars out the one gate at the same time.
The reason the public cars were given more time to get out is that there were 4 times more of them trying to get out…. I know it was frustrating for everyone but we did try our best under the circumstances, we can plan for everything but the weather..
We will look at other options for next year like if permitted opening another gate for exhibitors only, or if we could may be get another field completely for public cars.
All I can say is sorry for any delay caused by the adverse weather and I hope it didn’t put people off the show.
Thanks

Hi Eamonn
Super show as always, if only we could count on the weather
but nope we cant. There is very little that would me or I am sure many others off a super show like Mosney. Well done to all who were involved in putting it together. Getting out can be a problem at times, what you are sugesting above could be ease it alright and would be nice but the numbers that attend is large and a narrow lane to the main road will always cause a bottle neck. Maybe if people left in a order like block A first, B 2nd etc, but dont think that would work too well. For those like in a previous year I saw a fellow with a car that was heating up or just didnt like sitting in traffic, well then wait till it clears out first or TURN OFF the engine ETC.
So guys take your time leaving and enjoy the view and sounds of those lovely classics around you.
Well thats my pennies worth anyhow

€20 IMO is really steep just to get 2 cups of tea and 2 sandwiches and then to get put as the last priority when it was time to leave! :mad:
Well, it was actually €10 if you did it online, like most did, so the extra 10-er is down to yourself......
I think the horn-blowing is nothing short of rude, actually. Volunteers marshalling 1000(or whatever) cars, in the rain - would you do it ? and if you did/do, what's your take in having all those guys honk at you ? And that's before you realise that horns don't move cars. At the exit to Julianstown, the Gardai were making everyone turn left, even if they needed to go right, so take up the long queue there with the GTC, tbh........and, as pointed out, you can actually knock the car off, if for no other reason that petrol costs €1.32 a litre....hey: if you can leave it running for an hour like that, then, hey, why moan about the entry fee, either ?have to agree there....bit of a Durrow problem.....solved in our case by several cars sounding the horn continously until they let us out....it really isnt acceptable to be leaving the car park people out en masse at the expense of the people who ARE the show, whose cars dont take kindly to sitting in a queue for an hour....as many (not me) did...
ps WHY did the guy at the head of the queue stop? I would not have done...We had a nightmare when the rain came down and everyone wanted to leave at once. It is, as you and imagine hard to get several thousand cars out the one gate at the same time.

Eamonn - I made the trip from Galway with fully loaded Porsche - me, SO, and the 2 x Enfants Terribles, and I thought it was worth it. And, for €10, even looking at the rates the various stalls were selling food at (like all shows), that fact I got tea & sandwiches for us, in the €10, makes it a bargain, tbh. When it rained, I knew what was going to happen, so we just waited for the big crowd to pass, and then moved out, leaving just after 16:00. Imho, the weather was more a pain to the guys with the stalls and the organisers of the show, than visitors like me. I did, after all, bring a coat, and 2 x umbrella's.......
I spent less than 10 minutes getting out of the showground at 16:10, and I'd say spent more time in the queue down where the GTC were doing the directions at the road to Julianstown nothing NEVCC can do about that.
I would think though, that an extra exit would be a help, but the lack of it was more an inconvenience than anything else: look at it this way, I spent a lot more time in the car going back to Galway with the tired, small people. Who had homework to do for school in the a.m., btw........:rolleyes:Hi Eamonn

Another super show. Very difficult when almost everyone headed for the gate at the same time. I got out in about half an hour. Sitting with the engine off for a fair bit of the time. Lots of banter.
What frustrated us? Queue jumpers and idiots who wouldn't accept that the marshalls, standing in the pouring rain, were helping everyone, and not just them.
A job well done.Ode To The Motorist

Christ the condition of that 924 Turbo`s engine bay :eek: I thought mine was pretty clean but its not a patch on that one.
Yeah, I know, but he was asking mad money for it: 5k Sterling, which when you add VRT, makes my 968 a fuggin' bargain......see here for another comparo for a 924t currently for sale in PCI - http://forum.porsche-club-ireland.com/index.php?topic=988.0
Did you see this black 924GT there ? - stunning.
