The North West OC group are coming across for a visit!!!
This has already been posted in general chat, but was asked to post in this forum.
I have mentioned that if anyone would like to meet up, then maybe letting me know via text or voice would be a good idea, to let us know that someone is coming.
If you like i will pm you my number.

Would be great if we could meet up along the way with anyone able to.

Hope to make it over to Killarney for the saturday and have a look!

Hi Folks We leave home soon so i thought i'd just give a shout to keep a look out for us..

Hope some of you will be able to meet up and have a chat.

Cheers

You queried elsewhere about doing the sallygap etc...unfortunately the bad weather has rendered this area totally inaccessible. Enjoy your trip, hope the weather improves!!

Hi snowman

I hear ye have arrived in killarney. Can you pm me your number. Going to try meet ye on the road somewhere tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy kerry if we don't meet up.

Alan

Hi Alan, sorry i missed you at the hotel.

I think i saw you while i was on my way back to the hotel, were you in a red MK1??

The weather was wet and cold while on the Kerry run, but it did get better towards the end of the week.
We stayed on and went to visit the wifes relatives while we were there.

Went down to Cork, on the motorway, it was the quickest way to get there and back to Tipperary in the day
Went up to see the Cliffs of Moher, more relatives a bit further up on the coast road

Some very good roads and some not.... my exhaust is blowing now, need to have a look at that tomorrow.

Really enjoyed the trip, met some friendly people, hope its not too long before we can make it back again.

Didnt see many MX5's along the way, about 5 in total, are they not popular..

Hi Snowman

That was me alright. I would have stayed around longer but I had to get the young lad home. You'll have to come back sometime and do Kerry in the sun, Whenever that'll happen!!

We might see you in Wales sometime.

Oh I wouldn't say that...it's just that with the current crap weather a lot of owners are probably happy to leave their cars under wraps...I hope you had a good trip. What a pity about the cold spell.......

John

Yes it was cold, but we managed to get the hoods down everyday...

When we did the ring of Kerry it was a wet day and only managed to get the hoods down for about an hour or so.

We did get a lot of strange looks from other car users, cant think why....

I spotted two of you on the Muckross road in Killarney. Looking good !

Hi Snowman,

Sorry I missed you when you were in the Limerick area, think I saw one of your group in town that day in Limerick, silver car(mk2) with KKK reg.....)).

Pity you didn't get much sun on your travels to enjoy the scenery.

Regards John.

Hi john, the MK2 was the guy who organized the trip..

We did get the sun but it started to get better after the rest of the group had gone home.
