Whacky rally - St Patricks day festival

Merrion

WHACKY RALLY 2005
Sponsored by Formula Sheane

Date: Friday 18 March
Location: City Centre Canal Area Start: Wilton Terrace
Timing: 6.30 - 9.30pm

St. Patrick’s Festival is organising an event during next year’s festivities ‘Whacky Rally’, Friday 18 March, which I hope you will participate in. The procession of vehicles will celebrate the different types of transport used and enjoyed throughout the country. The Whacky Rally provides a great opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of the finest automobiles from vintage and classic cars to motorbikes.

The vehicles will assemble on Wilton Terrace from 18.30hrs on the night of the event to enable car and bike enthusiasts enjoy the spectacle of this gathering. Refreshments will be served. The MC will announce the launch of the procession of vehicles at 20.00hrs. The vehicles then leave the canalside escorted by the gardai and proceed leisurely northward through the city and then circle Parnell Square and return to Wilton Terrace. It is expected that this will take about 60 minutes to complete.

The MC for the evening will invite the Rally attendees to vote for The Best of Whacky Rally, the Most Original Whacky Vehicle and the Best Whacky Driver’s Outfit: the winning vehicles will sport Whacky Rally rosettes.

Participating organisations will be mentioned in the official St. Patrick’s festival programme.

Should you need further details or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope you will be able to take part in this great event - (deadline for receipt of confirmation entry forms (will post this up in this thread...): as soon as possible).

Sounds like it will be a great event.

(......although 6.30-9.30pm seems like a strange time to hold the event. I suppose they want to avoid rush hour, but many classic owners might be reluctant to drive their pride and joy around the city at night)

Could somebody get some pics of the event ?
(I won't get to see it otherwise )

Dades

Gonna be in Edinburgh.

Sounds like a good laugh though, despite the odd time (and day)...

Paul (MN)

Is anybody planning on going to this?
Might be a bit of a laugh and a chance to meet each other/others?

I was thinking of bringing my son along so he can say he was in a parade of some kind.

I remember seeing a camaro actually, beautiful car. There were a good few rides that I've never seen before which was nice!
Was a good laugh and it attracted a lot of attention. It seems the classic scene is getting bigger in Ireland :cool:
