next weekend 's classics shows...

corktina

I wonder could it be an idea to have a sticky giving details of the next upcoming shows for quick reference and last minute decisions.

gn3dr

Good idea - I never know what's on or where

Irish Vintage Scene provides a good calender of events.

This is a great idea...somebody act upon it!

Just saw there was a show in Ballincollig last Sunday, the one weekend this month I'm not working and I didn't know it was on!

Unkel is on his holliers, I'm sure he'll look at it when he gets back

corktina

Im not exactly sure if its Kanturk,it was said to me in passing.

kindredspirit

Yep, definitely a run from Kanturk on Sunday.

Don't know the start time though. Ring Dermot Foley's garage in Kanturk. He'll know.

Yoy know y'all just raised a point there dudes. What's your preference? Static shows or cruising? I like going to shows good enough but 3-4 hours is enough for me at any show. By that stage you've seen all the cars, talked to whoever you wanted to talk to, ate ****ty expensive food and used a ****ty smelly portaloo. Plus at least 50% of the time it rains. There's lots of shows on each year catering to various tastes and there's quite a few that will always be in my calender but at the end of the day my passion is driving, driving a car I love. To be honest I much prefer a nice run down the country somewhere, stopping off in a pub for lunch and having a bit of craic than standing around in a field for 6 hours.

Worth a seperate thread?

corktina

Please don't divert this thread....we didn't hear from unkel yet :-(

spooky donkey

well I like the run and show type events where you do both....

I was at a great one the aug bank holiday weekend in sligo.

But I do agree for me its more about the driving than standing around.

unbelieveable and you a moderator too

All depends really,take for instance the Limerick Junction show four of us had a nice hour and a half of a spin up to it and again down afterwards. The food issue at most shows can be a problem alright,but i guess you can bing an ol picnic with ya if you want something a bit better. At least at the junction there is a bit of choice,and most of the bigger shows are the same,Charleville being a case in point.

As they say though,cars were meant for driving!:D

New thread started on the show / cruise debate so as not to derail 'Tina's thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=67574308#post67574308

No offence but you miss the point. The point is for it to relate to the coming weekends shows, a last minute guide to "what can I do sunday?"

Indoor show at the Equestrian Centre in Cavan this Sunday, exhibits must be pre 1980 (although none of the stewards could decipher the 1981 Irish reg car I brought last year:D). Usually a good turnout at this event and theres a canteen onsite too.
