    You from Tallaght?
    I'm in Old Bawn, literally about a 3 minute cycle from the stadium.
    Grand spot for spins too, it's on the N81 so natually the N80 and Blesssington lakes are right there. Coffee shop always open in the stadium shop too I think.

    So apart from me being awkward, it is a handy, quiet spot. :)

    No I'm from gorey man.
    Tallaght would be dead handy for me anyway.
    And sure sounds like a good spot so, hopefully it can be organised :)

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind a trip to Tallaght. Would be nice to see some nice metal and get to know some members..

    Yup, my main interest would be finally meeting some of the guys that help me so often lol :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 430 ✭✭cgal093


    Oh forgot to mention, when I was down in Cavan I dropped into some relatives. They've got a 2007 Peugeot 407 1.8 petrol sitting in the garden about a year now. It was my cousins but hes working in Australia. Its taxed until December and NCTed until January. Any ideas what its worth?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,729 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    @Gollywog Yeah sure I've seen you say that alright. Slipped my mind.

    I'm the same, I'd just like to put faces to names and have a look at some of the cars. :)
    Be no chance of getting my yoke around though, bloody tax and insurance laws. :/

    Exactly.
    Are you not on the road cian?

    I've accompanied driver cover on both of my parents cars.
    I just drive everywhere when I'm with them but don't get the luxury of actually getting to use the cars for myself. :/
    They're going away in September though and I've a feeling my Dad may just throw me his keys for the three weeks. Fingers crossed! :D

    Really though, 'till I've a new job I won't really be able to get mine on the road. :(

    Shouldn't be too difficult to get 10 or 15 people around from Dublin for a chat in some car-park some day. I'd like to get to one before college and all that jazz kicks in. End of August maybe mods? We'll be on our bestest behaviour, we pwomise...:pac:

    Ah yes I see.
    That must be a little frustrating but hey, it's better than nothing right? :)

    That's all we'd have to do!

    I'm gonna try and sort some tax and insurance on one of the beasts I have outside. Hopefully before this meet but I doubt it'll happen anytime soon :(

    Yeah that's it, at least I get to drive.
    Even if it is just local runs and the odd bit of dual carriage way. :o

    I'd be happy with Liffy Valley too as long as I've a lift (Thank you!) only that car park can be dodgy.
    Don't mean to offend anyone from around there but it's right by Neilstown and I'e heard of a lot of break ins around the shopping center.

    You've never been to Neilstown, have you? :D

    My sister's a social worker, she's been to some of the worst places in Dublin with her job and at the moment she's working in Neilstown, she said it tops anywhere else she's had to work.
    Not only it is rough but she find it utterly depressing.

    Again, I don't mean to offend.
    Slag Tallaght all you want, I know most of it's true! :)

    Very sound, man. :)

    Well it wouldn't be the worst but it wouldn't be the best either.
    The car park is MASSIVE so it's got that as a plus but apart from the main center and a few garages there's not an awful lot around.

    Other than that, there's Blanch or Dundrum but AFAIK it's all paid parking in Dundrum, unless some one local knows a better spot than the town center.

    Is it safe to start a thread for this or should we seek mod approval?

    Jaysus lads Liffey Valley is a fair old trek anyway for myself. Anywhere a bit more central? How about that big carpark they use for the Cars and Coffee meet in Cherrywood? Although somewhere up in Tallaght wouldn't be too bad either...

    As I said, anywhere will do me, I don't know dublin very well so can't really make any informed suggestions!
