I've been going to these now for the past while. Basically people turn up in literally all types of cars from all era's.
The star of the show was the 161 Honda Civic Type R (310hp/400NM) and Honda's first Turbo Petrol car.
This thing is insane. It was driven by Dave Humphreys from Complete Car Car Reviews (completecar.ie). He gets to drive the cars for a week or so while putting together reviews on them and drove it down from Dublin. They have reviewed 1,000's of cars and I had a great chat with him about the hot hatches on the market. He did say that the Type R, even in R+ Mode, doesn't have as nice a chassis as the Renault Megene 265, which I though was interesting. He mentined the Civic is very thirsty! He also mentioned VW will be bringing the R400 Golf into Ireland (his own words) and that it will be expensive!
He is eagerly awaiting to review the Clubsport GTI too.
Excuse the Non-VAG pics below.
The other car that caught my attention was the 1994 Lancia Delta Integrale 2.0 Turbo 220bhp 4wd. This was in concours condition and is worth €35-40k.
A lad parked beside me in a Mk5 GTI with stage 1 remap. He's a member on here now too.
There were other nice machines too - Focs ST 2.5T 225bhp
S2000
and others like Mx5's, Subaru's, a Rolls Royce etc but I said I'd post the pics of the Lancia and the Civic as they were serious machines.
