You know, (perfect) days like today would just make you never want to go to a static show again, would they. What a day, what a savage day.


Anyone do a headcount?


We had 5(?) static shows yesterday, interspersed with doing what cars should do - driving.

I made it 27 cars?

Topic of discussion with a few....
My sister had 26 pass her in the video she made, before Banagher, and we'd lost the Skoda and S60r at that point.

What a brilliant day. While we were enjoying a great feed at Paddy's yesterday Ted himself came up with an interesting topic, if you could pick any car to take home besides your own which would it be?



So many great cars it would be hard to pick one as an outright ultimate but for classic appeal ERODs Targa, Daves RS4 for balls out family saloon, Richards M2 cos it looks and sounds savage from behind, Mikes Porsche for ground up sports car, 16vG60 MKII for sleeper style, Mr. H's M5 for fat German V8 lovliness or the R's/Octy/4 series and Alans Gti for modern day class. I'd be happy with any (or all!) of them really, great selection of top notch motors and the drivers (and passengers) were reasonably ok too!!

Next time you'll have to let me drive will. I've become a terrible passenger in my old age. That was my first time in a vr6 and I was very impressed.

Do you normally entice people into your car with sweeties?

And not a single m&m did I get, mind you there's a wee brown spot in the middle of the passenger seat which looks a bit like a melted m&m

You have the 16vG60 (ex Paudie) right?

Good to meet you and a brilliant sleeper, you should start a thread for your ownership
