Hope all got home safe to their respective homes. Think I've made my mind up on choosing my next car at least, and yes LIGHTNING the clutch travel is ridiculous! Any way to shorten it?

It is too long, it makes quick shifts a little tricky. May check online to see if there is anything I can do. Up to 275 miles on that tank of fuel and still got a bit to go!

If it's not actually doing anything past a certain point, some people with BMWs have just fitted a physical stopper behind the pedal.

My first Boards.ie Motors meet was awesome - got to see some lovely cars in C&C; drooled over the M5 and M6 that was there along with some of the others, plenty of American muscle on show. After a swift enough trip down the N7 and waking the rotory convoy up towards the end of the N7 journey (:p) we landed in Midway. Great craic, nice bunch of people and some really nice metal. Drove ShaneE90's ...E90 and must say, it's definitely not bad (for a diesel :pac:). Smudged MM's polish after touching it - total accident MM, honestly - and took a few for a spin the M3. Wouldn't be surprised to find a letter with a harp on it at some stage in the future, I did let it loose once or twice

Anyways, lovely to meet you all and I guess I'll see you at the next one, hopefully without the muck

Few pics..

This cosworth looked fantastic for the age!

I think I have the lowest photo count, I'm guessing most were looking for a silver 406 and didn't find one :P

So you don't feel left out :P

Really? It wasn't a joke I was playing - there was a small chip on the passenger side I pointed at but touched and left a fingerprint. So I thought I'd wipe it with the cotton jumper I had but fcuk me did it smudge everywhere so I walked away

You're actually my hero! Next time bring brillo pads.

I didn't scratch the lacquer or anything. I think MM means there wasn't any fresh polish on it, bet he's gone out to check it out now though

Well it can't be any worse than the scratches, dents and SCREWED-ON weathershield I saw on a certain M3 :P

Now why'd you have to go and do that? Your words man, they hurt

Give me some time, I barely have an ass-grove made in the seat :pac:

@touching virus, I just wanna say fair play for taking the plunge to an m3. I've never heard such a great noise from a car.

<8k miles a year and trying to keep off the sauce - M3 pretty much forces both of these to adhered to! Glad you enjoyed the spin, I'm chuffed with it

Was great driving down the on ramp with MM at the wheel listening to an airplane take off out of the m3.
Didn't get to talk to alot of you.
Sorry wasn't around for long, lunch at the mother in laws was calling!!

On another note either driving too or from the meet my headlight washer decided its no longer sitting flush, any idea's what gone wrong?
Never would've happened if I stayed with the Mazda!!

Thanks for the pics lads, never even took out my phone to take a pic was too cold!!

Shane and I were talking about this earlier on. WHen mine come out, the cover on the passenger one doesn't sit back in properly. I have no idea why! I'm afraid to try and pull it out manually in case I break it but it's only the cap that doesn't go back flush to the bumper again.

What a gorgeous PZ you have! It looks so much better in person compared to pics, especially the alloys. Well wear!

I also saw you have the mesh on the valance. DIY from RotaryFX or standard on the PZ?

Thanks lad, the 335 looks the business too (didn't see the smudge).

I think the mesh is a prodrive addition.

Autosport

Cars looked amazing today but the Toyota got my eye and I fell in love with it well maybe the TT aswell

dgt

Gotta say, what a turnout! And the music from some of those cars, the M3 taking off down the motorway, just wow :cool:

mik_da_man

I had a great time, few nice spins and some really nice metal there.
I'm always surprised at the attention the rallye gets!

Adrennes did we loose you after the cork motorway split?

I gave it welly to find u but never did....

CianRyan

Looks like it was a great meet, would have loved to be there.

MM, learn to park. You'd go in that thread or the parking job in those pics.
