07-08-2017 4:58pm#1An event in aid of a cause, but to be honest I don't see myself coming back next year. The venue is much, much too small for the crowd it drew (at least the crowd it drew this year; which to be fair might have been as a result of the run in Dun Laoighre which I believe ended as this begun). Cars continued to arrive and despite the obvious lack of space were continually allowed in. This in turn wasn't helped by the ignorant crowds of spectators standing around and helping no one. The car in my first photo below was genuinely at least five minutes trying to move past crowds who were totally oblivious or didn't care. In the end I went and asked a steward if something could be done to help this car (and another 1910s/20s looking car behind) into the show, but was met with a shrug of the shoulders and "I can't move from here"
Anyway, I digress. Photos..
Feel free to post any other photos/comments you may have etc15

I agree fully, and even the steward I talked to briefly mentioned something about having to expect these things at free events. Fairyhouse show on the 20th is also free if you aren't aware

There were lots of vintage cars also. I saw Model Ts, early 30s Mercs, a few e type Jaguars, a lovely auto union, various 60,70 and 80 Porsches.
Its really a charity event rather than a car show .... the good weather meant it was very busy.
Absolutely right..i enjoyed it too, but i'd hate that some older vehiclesmaybe couldnt get in due to lack of space...a bigger venue i think at this stage is required...0 -
