Here's CharlieCroker going mad as the Lexus girl isn't forthcoming. English was not an option. The labels underneath each button are obviously not factory fit.

Myself, MM, challengemaster and cozymaher stayed on a while afterwards and he was back in again. From what I could see those twin tips at the back were fake too...

Was going mad I didn't spot you, had a look around the Leon and its a lovely motor. So rare to find a nice clean one.

Was admiring that myself actually. Really like that shape Leon and it was a lovely example. Very tidy looking.

That surely has to be the only one in Ireland?

Is that a real Renault Laguna M-Type R GT-R or just some replica?

Today was f!cken excellent!! Everyone was sound out, a lot of great cars too.

Thanks to Jennizle for the spin (and tears) in her deadly RX8, Jemmy for the spin to the shop for cigs in her tidy DC5, challengemaster for the breakneck torque experience and conzy for the noise

A huge thanks to EPM for organising the day and making it very enjoyable for us all, and thanks for the spin in the octy, lovely car

I hope the next one has the same kind of turn out!

My highlights - Getting to know an old friend in the form of the RX8, the noise off conzy's 325, putting faces to names, driving a DC5 for the first time, getting to chat to everyone and last but not least, that ape in the ?skyline? acting the clown and almost smashing into other cars on his way out of the car park

Myself, EPM, challengemaster and conzy were the only hardcore people at it, staying on for ages after all the lightwieghts left :P

Damn, I was hoping for a spin in a VRS. Maybe next time.

You fecked off today without your prize today. There was a timing kit there with your name on it to bring home.

Dunno when you guys left, but I found myself in a parking lot only surrounded by japs. Think it was conzy that was the only with me there (not sure), he went back inside then and I headed home. It was getting dark anyhow.

I left the same time as them. I'm happy I turned off for carlow and not in their direction. One or two of them are what gives enthusiasts a bad name. Sideways takeoff of a Nissan was pathetic when he was leaving.

There was a few of them, that definatly fit that description, while others where definatly maintained by serious enthusiasts at huge expense. I don't mind the odd wheelspin or a loud motor, but when it gets out of hand, it's no good.

Funny was, the coppers were all on the other side of town. Think I met 4 garda cars on the other side of Portlaoise on the way home, going in direction Mountmellick.

I'll have to trust the one on the car for a bit longer so

You're playing with fire by waiting to get that done. Can you afford a new engine/car if it goes before you get it done?

Actually my face might have been blue from the cold as well come to think of it...
