When in June is C&C in Cork on? Is it the 10th or the 17th? If it's the latter I should be able to make it, if it's the former then it's a non-runner.

For some reason I seem to have nothing on every weekend except for those when there is a Cars and Coffee thing going on and annoyingly can never go!

Vage show and shine is the 29th of July in Fermoy. All German marques are welcome I am led to believe.

Oh for goodness sake, I made an unexpected visit to Cork last weekend so I could have gone to it but went back to Dublin first thing instead :rolleyes:.

I swear I'll go to one of these things eventually:o! Some lovely cars there, I like the pickup with the BMW V8 in it!

Fair nice selection alright. The Vage show and shine in Fermoy mentioned above is worth going to if you can. Good idea that they decided to include other German marques.

I've added the Cork C&c to the calendar, it's someone can send me the exact address I'll add this to?

Nice turnout from the loo of those images!

My geographic knowledge of Ireland isn't what it should be be

Isambard

not geographic, just it's a different type of show, Rim is a vintage show, Gowran rally sport based

Was watching a video by Stavros 969 about the Terenure Show. He was talking about the Cannonball route this year. A more detailed route will be available later online as per usual but for now he gave a rough idea:

Day One- Dublin-Cavan-Donegal-Westport

Day Two- Spanish Point- Blarney Woolen Mills

Day Three Kilkenny and finishing in Wexford


Search begins for a proper slip road

Has the Irish Motor Festival at Punchestown been mentioned yet?

I don't think it has been mentioned here yet anyway- is it August that it is on?

Debating heading down from Dublin but I think I’ll just head across to Trim.

Supposed to be an interesting auction at Gowran tomorrow

Agreed I came across his channel because he does a good bit of cars and coffee/car events but I also like the mix of videos- vintage, trucks, electric cars, supercars.

I thought that the cannonball was finishing in blarney this year 10th one hopefully they will have some more exotica.

Hopefully the route will be on the website soon. Hoping for 55/63 amg/black series models as per usual! Looking forward to it.

Just in case some people aren't aware there are some changes to the Limerick Cars and Coffee days- this Sunday (5th) is Japanese Day. English Day is now 2nd Sept. Does anyone know does Supercar Sunday still remain the 2nd Sept?

I've been a bit preoccupied with college related stuff the last months/year and kept this calendar up to date. I'm free again and I'll see if I can find some time to up date again. If anyone knows of a good website which has a lot of show dates I can add please let me know

Got run off the road last year near Clonmel on the day of the cannonball.
Eastern European reg super BMW undertook at least 20 cars at insane speed, and weaved out a narrow gap then over took more forcing oncoming traffic off the road.
Got the reg and rang the guards but I doubt they did anything.
Love cars and driving, always a fan of the rally and car shows but hate how cannonball just attracts rich arseholes who drive like maniacs in traffic. The Limerick - Waterford road is lethal too. Wish they'd just keep that carry on to the motorways.
