Dormobiles...

...and once again the narrow roads of Kerry and West Cork are infested with them. And I'm driving at 35kmph behind them thinking murderous thoughts...bet if I hogged the road in their country at that speed there'd be hell to pay.

Anyway, would you like to holiday in one? I think the idea seems great, drive wherever whenever. But suspect the reality is different, especially living in Ireland, where the roads are not exactly limitless once you drive for a day in any direction.

Driving along in my Dormobile
With my baby beside me at the wheel
With no particular place to go
So I'll annoy the f*ck out of Conor Seventy four

And they do. The British reg ones are the best, they'll usually make an effort to pull in and allow other drivers through. But the Continental ones often need a sustained blast on the horn to remind them that other drivers have things to do, are on their way to work etc.

I love angry men and I'd love to have a sustained blast of your horn.

They're keeping your economy afloat, you should be nice to tourists, it's how the west of Ireland survives, the last thing they need is a lunatic blasting his horn behind then when they're on holiday driving,
what are you such a rush for?

I'll do it again.
Oranmore to Ballyvaughan...more than 1 hour when the Mobile Crawlers are about. You can do the same journey in about 1/2 hour when they are not on the road.

I used to find the German camper vans the worst for holding up traffic, completely oblivious to the column of local traffic building up behind them.

I hate and despise these automotive nightmares, the mobile equivalent of the Black Death, AIDS, or Distemper.

Tourism is ruining the country, and no one cares cos greedy ****er politicians are making a fortune over it. Them and their crony business friends.

Cliffs of Moher - ruined, tacky ****hole that was once a beautiful landscape.
InisMor wormhole - ****ing redbull diving competitions there now ???

Skellig Michael - Star Wars mouth breathing moron tourists will soon ruin this too - this is a unesco heritage site so you would think they would protect it - sadly no, as plenty of $$$$$$$$$$$ to be made.

Work, life etc., nothing "lunatic" at all. I'm guessing you don't live in a tourist area. Pretty sure if I drove through Rome or Paris at 15kmph because I wanted to catch the sights, they too would find that their daily need to get here or there trumped the whole benefits of tourism thing. And Dormobiles don't keep the economy afloat, quite the opposite, their spend is a lot less than tourists staying in hotels, eating in restaurants etc.
