Ollie - thanks.
Is there an assembly location identified for the Sunday as I'm also trying to encourage a few local 5'ers to come along, so I'd like to give them plenty of notice, directions etc.

shotgun full or not?

Postby SADriver » Sat, 26 Jul 2008 9:41 +0000

Hey All,
So I believe I'll make it to that date. sounds really good and can't wait :)

Are you all bringing people with to fill in the shotgun seat or is it lone riding?

and is there some people heading from dublin saturday evening? maybe We ride together so I don't get lost?
Never knew what fun was till I found the MX5
