Hi all,
Been a long time since I was around.. My five has been off the road for nearly 2 and a half years.. But, shes currently in the Mazda garage gwt the full overhall..
So since its been so long, Im sure there are new people on board form down south?
Is there ever mini runs down this way anymore???

There's Seán who would be a newbie, currently installing a new engine, but his pc blew up recently so we haven't been hearing from him too much.

Thats great to see so many new people. I must give graham an Anto a buzz and see do they still own a five!! Mine should be ready for August so if anyones interested maybe we could do a Cork And Kerry Run.. All would be welcome of course but maybe some of you havent done the Healy yet and there is no better time!! Ill make some calls anyways and do a post then...

Well i'm still kicking around waterford, Mark aka mariner blue is in cork and on a run recently, well-girl moved house and has been quiet since, Elle is in cork and has stolen the boyfriends car for the time being, anto is still around, fergus is still about and doing something major to his 5.
Dave and stephen are down here in waterford as well as is james and then there is my next door neighbour and a car dealer in dungarvan who both have 5's but are yet to come on a run, Should be fairly easy to get a few people up to a run in the cork/kerry area.

Ok for those that may not be able to do the midlands run due to work time schedules or whatever maybe we can organise a date for a south west cruise?????
Who'd be up for that, and any suggestions as to a date???
I warn you though, it will be a fast one as I aint had a run at the healy in years and I aim to let my hair down!!! Dam Toyo's arent helping with the tail sliding though they are too sticky!!

If the run can slot in during the next two weeks then count me in defo Fla.
After that then my cars off the road...for a while he he he he.
I would suggest a mini run from Cork along the west coast via Clon, Skib, Schull towards Goleen and turn off to Bantry, then head for the Kingdom over the mountains
Meet up with the rest of the clan, have a coffee..... or some PANCAKES!!! then hit mollys gap HARD....now that would be sweet !
Drive back the same way to Cork, a trip to remember
