I didn't think any point in Ireland would be four hours to the midlands. Is it Malin head or Mizen head you'd be travelling from? :eek:

I'll send pics of the Fiat fiorini... sitting in a nice warm sunny car park and a freshly made sambo :pac:

I'll be on the other side of the Atlantic so I won't be around, I think... A bit further than the usual 60 miles from the coop to port lousy, one tank won't do it!

Have fun and I'll see you about the next one

I hate to be the one to bring it up but...

If its a small group and turns out 95%+ are coming from the east, is there any scope of moving it closer to Dublin?

Not gonna happen I'm afraid. There can't be any ambiguity about locations or people won't bother committing and the turnout will be very poor.

Sound, good to hear there's other coming from all over, that's fair so.

I know one or two lads from E36 groups I know might come. Others not so much.. I will throw it up over in BMWhaus too, some people might be interested.

Dr Turk Turkelton

As a matter of interest what's everyone planning on driving?
If the weather is good I'm going to bring the Crx and if it's wet i was going to bring the Range Rover.

E300 Hybrid Estate here.

Almost completed tinting the rear windows myself, since I couldn't justify paying someone €250 for a nicety. (Although I do think it's about fair given the work involved)

I'll let yee be the judge of the quality!

Hi guys, lost my details of my old account (considering I opened that email account moons ago and have not a clue on how to recover it)

Anyways, I should have my yoke fixed by then.
Looking forward to making your acquaintance

I done this earlier in the summer (well just the Verdon Gorge part of it) and it's amazing. It's my 4th year in a row to do it and it takes my breath away more every time.

Enjoy

I did that a few years ago, think I went from Grenoble though can't quite remember, it's stunning though you'll love it.

Sweet,

Hopefully I'll make the next midway meet

I too would like to see an official agenda before decisioning on attendance.

Park up, admire cars, chat about cars pretty much.
