Only realised it was on in Cork yesterday, so going to head up to it myself. Was a good show in the RDS if its the one I'm thinking.

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T DO IT!!!

You need the FTO Colm, she's crying out for you....Those swedes are brainwashing you......

the FTO is the true way to spiritual fulfillment.... :lol:

Went to have a look at this weekekd..

The car is in unbelievable condition, and has been maintained obsessively!
Turbo gives that feeling of being pushed back into the seat, it handles tidily, and the wheels and tyres are only a few months old.

Will be heading back for it next Saturday and either getting the ferry back to Dublin from Holyhead or to Cork and catch the millstreet show.
