Ash..Travelled from Dungarvan
Dave (Sspecdave) Up from Waterford also
Michael (Midlife Crisis) drove up from Killaloe
Tom Freeman.. Local gent who stayed for the early part
Padraig (aka Lynott)..Turned up in his merc 'cause his 5 was not well..That's the spirit!
Ivan..Turned up in his boxster 'cause his 5 doesn't exist anymore :D
PJ (Medic5) and the star of the run..young Dylan
Tony (MX-Tony) and his co-pilot Eamonn
Frank.. That stag is some animal
Ollie Brady.. A real live wire
Graham (mrges).. Sorry for drooling all over the mk3
Dave (Tigger).. a laugh a minute
Dave ( my co-pilot).. A car fanatic, at 14 he's rebuilding a ford orion with help from a few adults..
Ollie eile (S.T.E.L.L.A.).... Bet he regretted wearing shorts as we stood at the top of the Wicklow Gap in a gale :lol:
Robin... I joked when he offered me suncream at the top of the gap, my face is scarlet today :oops:
Feargal.... So laid back he's almost horizontal

There you have it.. 16 cars in total at various stages(if I counted that right), 13 mx5's, one stag, one boxster and one merc.

Thanks also to the staff in the Glenmalure Lodge.. Dinner was lovely,
Joyce in the shop in Lacken for taking the group photo..
The organisers of the FBD Rás for keeping the boys in blue otherwise occupied in the Kildare area :?
And to my Family for putting up with the obsessive nature of my manner in organising this.. thank you

John.

Looking forward to Waterford :D

Cheers to you John. It was a well organised spin and I certainly enjoyed the day.

Always nice to meet the new folks and catch up with the old. Please God this summer will produce enough good weather to keep up the runs .

Thanks John for organising a great day. Yup, standing around wicklow gap in me shorts was not my finest memory of the day.

BTW, maybe just being an idiot (not the first time!) but i dont get the "eile" reference after my name. Please explain to the dumb english guy.

Cheers
Olly / ollie eile

Ollie 'eile'

Hi John, well done we both enjoyed the run!

Have to say Mondello was fab!

Really enjoyed the mini run on the way home through the Curragh.
