    Probably not if the driver was locked! Fled the scene raises suspicion anyway.

    First time in Terenure without a car. Missus dropped me off on her way in to town. Wasn't there 10mins and it started p1ssing rain. Hid under a tree. Stopped raining and met up with buddies from my old car club. Had a ramble with them for half an hour then it started raining again. Missus called to say she was on her way back outta town so bailed at 2pm slightly damp. Was nice between the showers!

    Sorry I didn't get to meet up with any of yiz lads. :o

    I was looking out for everyone! Apparently some people on here spotted me. I did see Cian's GMC though. I didn't know what yourself or Ded_Zebra might have been driving. Anyway, I hpe you didn't spend the whole show alone Ded_Zebra :o

    I was driving with a lovely 81 Trans Am like your old one for a while, it had eu style plates. Dunno if you know it. Sounded lovely! :D

    Pretty sure I saw Cian with a few other lads out of the corner of my eye when I was chatting with my buddies. Turned around a few minutes later and they were gone. Presume Ded Zeb was with them?

    Yeah I was with the others for a while and then ran into a few other people I know:).
    I was looking out for your cars Kaiser but didn't see the Saab or the MG :(

    Overall the show was very good this year but I think they have changed the cars that they let in. There was a 2002 E39 there, not even an M5 but a 525i FFS!!! I didn't pay into a classic car show to see cars that are newer than my daily and common too :mad: There was a few E46s there too :rolleyes:

    Yes I saw that. Don't mind that too much as you don't see them literally every day! There was a lime green RS too:).

    No problem, sure there will be other meets, shows etc and I found people to talk to in the end :pac::pac:

    Yup, that was so cool. There were a couple of cool yank tanks in that section that I'd not seen at other shows. I think it would look cool in matte black!

    Yuss!
    I don't think there was a 'murican car there that I didnt want to buy!
    I'm not a big 'stang guy, more of a mopar fan but there were some nice mustangs there. The zee looked epic alright.

    Spent a lot of time in that general area myself anyway, when some others were looking at the fiat stands or the peter mark section.

    Totally sick of adverts, nothing but chancers on it. The spacers i bought are fine but the bolts are like plastic. Pulled instantly. Not dealing with anyone on there again unless i'm selling something myself. :(

    Selling the m6 wheels at the minute and the chaps i've dealt with all seem sound though, no rubbish like that thankfully. Meeting a chap tonight, they're not perfect but i've described and priced them as such. Wait and see i suppose :)
