After the unprecedented success of the Wild Atlantic Run, superbly organised, hosted and ran by WillVr, Dent Doc, Ro, Mycroft and the Autostadt Mod team, is this something you good folk would like to see more of?
If so, continue reading...


How about another, similar outing, where it's more about driving your pride and joy, rather than waxing it for a static show?
Again, if so, continue reading...


Would you prefer to wait til after the winter and Spring has sprung, or would you prefer to do another, soon, weeks rather than months, to finish off the year before winter closes in?
If so, once again, continue reading...


Suppose I was to say, a run has been planned out, and is largely ready to go?


Discuss...

I'd be tempted. The W.A.R looked great and I was sorry to have missed it. Only if hashtag is driving the barbie though.

I think an Autumn / early winter run would be fun.

Then a post christmas / early Jan one maybe while people are free ?

Either way i'm in. Like Paul i work Shift so weekends aren't guaranteed to be time off - so plenty of notice :)

Look at a map, and draw a triangle between Gort, Portumna and Kilconnell. With a start and finish point in the M6 Motorway services outside Loughrea. And about 110-115 miles of a zigzag between, including some epic driving stretches, fuel stops, some raw and rugged scenery, a beautiful Park for a photo shoot, a lovely friendly cafe for lunch...... And a surprise if we get over 10 definites, guaranteed to excite anyway who likes driving balls out.

I meant to add, this is designed primarily as a day trip, or one overnight at most realistically. And with it moving more Easterly than WAR, travelling times should be cut down enough for most to do it in the day. For those travelling furthest, I also might be able to break the journey at little or no cost, near my place.
My goal was for the trip to cost little more than a tank (or two, for The Doc's among us!) of juice.

I should add, I've driven it all in my mk2, with no sections feeling like they'd break a car. But if interest is there, I'll drive it in the BMW too. Which is a fair bit lower and stiffer.
