[PHOTOS] West Cork meet [9th/10th Aug 2008]

Postby kevinod » Sun Aug 10, 2008 1:21 am

Hey guys,

great meet, 9 FTOs (10 if you count the one with the Punto bodykit :wink: ), despite the dodgy weather!

Forgot to put my memory card back in my camera (doh!) so only had my 2MP phone camera, so the quality isn't great but better than nothing.

Uploaded it to my photobucket account (apologies for anyone who can't get to photobucket from work, including me) - click here

Some highlights

One of the best meets ever IMHO.
Brilliant route - very senic and great driving.

So - who has got the tunnel run vids?

Going up on youtube as we speak Shane! They sound pretty damn amazing! The cyclists screwed up an excellent potential shot but its still quite good, and theres 2 clips of us exiting the tunnel which Seb might able to put in together as one when hes editing clips. (Oh and theres one of chris doing a cow impression.....what in the name of God were you at boy?) All in all I think he did a pretty good job as cameraman for the day!

Great meet guys, really really enjoyed it. Was stunning to see so many FTOs (and friends) rolling through the mountain roads! Didnt expect to see so many so it made it all the better. The b+b was excellent, had a great laugh, a lot of beer, and a really bad head this morning! But it was worth it! Looking forward to septembe now!
Few sneak previews before Seb edits them. The quality isnt great, but they will come out better I think when edited as they did last time, and the memory card got full just as we were climbing the pass so we only have 26 seconds of that, which is a shame but hopefully we'll have onther day at it!
Enjoy.

Definetely one of the better FTO-Ireland meets I've attended over the years - great driving, fantastic scenery, good craic and top Guinness - what more could you ask for!

Heres a couple of vids of MfFTO's Z in the Kenmare tunnel - sounds class.
