The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

I was speking with Daz earlier on and he suggested a Christmas meet which isn't a idea, what we need is some suggestions, a location and a concensus. Something such as karting and an evening out in December might be one possibility.

Get your thinking caps on guys

Good time to have a Christmas Outing!!! Sorry CJ, couldn't resist that one. A Christmas meet would be good. Karting is a good shout.

would love to get down n meet up with all you petrol heads n see what all your own cars are like.
so if meet is not too far from me then im there.
karting sounds good im up for it!

Any more suggestions guys, would people be up for this if it was organised?

CJ

Sounds good, I'd be on for it anyway

In Aus from Dec 22nd for a few weeks so it would have to be before Christmas for me which kinda defeats the purpose of a Christmas meet.

Well when I say Christmas, it could be a few weeks beforehand, especially if were to look at booking a restaurant or the like.

Ah OK - I'd be up for this so.
Any idea of location?
We could always do a re-run of the Kinvarra trip - don't know if you remember that one CJ but twas a good weekend.

I have scant recollections, Dave assures me it was good crack

While I knows theres a few owners in the 'general' vicinity, my fear would be that the Dubs / Pale border dwellers wouldn't travel en masse, if we don't get a whole lot of interest from the 'east side' I'd be inclined to head over.

CJ

so i can get a hotel booked up for the weekend so i can come out on the piss...
dont want to be hitting the drink a smack n having to drive back up north.
so if you have it orginised soon let me know. i will keep looking back for suggestions of dates and something to do activity wise.
what about a track day? i think everyone would be up for that if it wasnt too expensive.
suggestions folks...

Why don't ye all try yer hand at skiing - I could try and get ye a deal up at the ski club.... dunno if that floats peoples boat but beginners usually have good crack up there.

Skiing would be a good laugh... plus its nice an close to me
I'm up for whatever, somewhere to get a good long spin out of the fto would be good... trip through a few different towns etc!!

Works for me, should be good craic, and pretty seasonal!

I tried snow boarding before, didn't turn out too well... ended up too sore to fall on my ar$e any more

Is that the skiing thing in Kilternan or is it somewhere else?

Aye, it's at kilternan

I dunno, I'd give it a go, my only concern would be me knackering me dodgy back in the event of a tumble! I'll create a poll of all suggestions and see whats the preferred choice.

The FTOOC in England usually have theirs on the first wknd in december so i guess we would probably go along the same lines.

Daz...

id be up for it i went skiing up there a while ago and it was great crack and would be good wit a group of people up for a laugh. we should do tha then maybe head out on a night out after it. wha does every one think of tha..??????????????????????

Poll results are:

Karting in Kinvarra (Galway) [ 2 ]
Karting in Dublin [ 3 ]
Skiing in Dublin [ 5 ]

Firstly, we've about 30 members who visit the forums regularly, I would have expected higher poll participation

Anyway, it looks like the majority of people would prefer the skiing, would those of you who voted for the other two options be up for it?

Yep, I'd be up for anything really that gets me away from the "Brady Bunch" for a day

Sure..I'll injure myself to keep you entertained any day

It's been 13-14 years since I last strapped planks to my legs and hurdled down a hill.

Er, Can we go and not ski? lol. The old co-oridination is what I'm afraid off. The bones get brittler as we get older lol

I'm just looking forward to meeting the real people behind the virtual name

IP

If I can go (if the date suits) Skying would be my preference as well, didn't vote yet thought

I hear ya IP, me own bones are in a jocker at the best of times! I'd be inclined to give it a go for the craic, you should know pretty soon if you're not comfortable with it (Shane, you're up, start talking up this skiing lark )
