Thanks again to everyone, a great day out. Fergus' car was amazing. a great way to round up the year for me anyway. No pics from me, too busy driving.

Meh, theres always a passenger seat going (I'll give you a shout for the next run I'm heading for).. it was great to kick back and sit in John's on the Roscommon run.

Looks like a good day, great weather for it. Class colour Fergus, any more pics?

Fair play Fergus, you did one hell of a job. Was on call so we couldnt go down. Kinsale is great spot with some terrific roads, next time hopefully.
Great pics too.
Sean.

Hi to all,

Fed and watered after a Long day in the saddle but it was worth the trip. Thanks to the MX5 Cork Brigade for a terrific route. Good too to meet up again with Anto and Graham after a few years and to see their steeds looking as good as ever. BTW I'm sure everyone, who wasn't there, has worked out Fergus' car was the one way out in front in the group photo. As someone remarked today, Fergus your a gas man. :mrgreen: great job.

Oh and for those that want to know why the colour of the car looks different in some pictures - it's yellow when the sun hits it and at dusk or on a dull day it's a sort of deep yellow/orange shade. It's like having two different cars in one :mrgreen:

Wow that's a great turnout folks, I'm guessing Inistioge for some of those picks as well?

Ferg, the car is a credit to you, the bodywork, stance and detail on the car looks great. Not mad on the Lexus rear lights, but that's just a personal thing.

Long time in coming, but well worth the wait, both for Fergus' car and the joy of a run in my favourite part of Ireland. Many thanks to all of you Cork lads for arranging this .. one of the best for me personally, despite the prang against the footpath and scaring the hell out of Lisa while overtaking!

Here are our efforts ...

My Favourite kind of rush hour, West Cork Style
