Motors Meet Time Again

Gary ITR

A fair few of us are having a meet in Portlaoise on the 30th of January. It's a Sunday and we usually have a bit of grub and some banter, anybody that's been before knows the drill

Normally it's great craic and a good day out, so if you're interested just drop your name below and we'll give the finer details closer to the time

Pass,
I would hate to embarrass myself with my "ordinary" underpowered turf burner, compared to some of the "High Performance" machines you lot would have :rolleyes:

Might go on the "Tea on the Vee" run instead with more regular cars

How old are you? 6? 7?

Would like to go to one of these soon Jan 30th may be too soon though as the clothes hanger is still doing a sterling job holding up my backbox but I don't quite want to risk Portlaois with it

Dude.. it has been a very long time since I acted my shoe size...which is more than I can say for a lot of posters on here.

But as I said..
will pass as I will be too busy having a good day at another event on the 30th

Does it need a welding job or just new rubber mounts? I had to have one of my brackets welded back on this week, cost 50quid and took an hour

Basically the backbox on the ZT has a metal holding up bracket all round it which hangs off hangers by rubber yokes like in any other car. The bracket lower half has corroded and broken on mine, so I have a clothes hanger bodged on to hold it up. The new bracket is about 40 or 50 quid and a bit of a ball ache to DIY fit and also the backbox is rusty enough (she spent 6 years in England) so I decided to get a nice stainless steel backbox to replace it. Chap who is doing it is having a looksee next Friday to take measurements and stuff. He gave me a rough price of €180 for a quiet (what I want) one, but I reckon it will be more when he sees it

I'd go but I've been an asshole so many times on here I'd be bound to bump into someone I've pissed off!

I permanently banned one of the regulars from another forum I used to mod, that stuff doesn't matter at all. All are welcome, even -corkie-
