if there was a way to guarantee the absence of the 4" bean can micra driving fraternity I'd go along just to look at some of the cars but as that's gonna be impossible it's highly unlikely I'd be at this...... oh yea, that and the fact I don't have a japanese car (probably get lynched if I turned up in a golf):-)

Howdee mate

And thanks for putting this up for us.

There is no way possible to deter these people but from the last 2 events we organised up north with 5-600 proper jap motors attending we hope that only proper mature people will be attending.

We have a gallery off the last 2 if you were interested in seeing the motors that turned up

Yea I totally understand - it comes with the territory unfortunately which results in most non-petrol heads automatically assuming that because you like cars or drive a fast and/or modified car you are a chav, all thanks to the few idiots driving like loons and generally acting the ar$e in their badly modified micras (except on those nights they've managed to steal a fiseta) - ah well :-)

(NOI to any non-chav micra or fiesta drivers :wink:

)

That's a pretty amazing turn out - I could be convinced to go along to see some of the cars if a few of the other FTO lads (and lassies) were thinking about it - unfortunately like I said I sold my FTO and am now driving a golf gti (purely because I am very weak and my wife told me to do it

)

hey cj, that'd be the right context for that emocion right?

Absolutely, I'm not saying that Golfs are

but some people think they exude a certain

ness, thats not a slur on the driver mind you, seeing as you have a wife, theres no chance of you being

, or is there? :wink:

Haha

Pop along mate in your

errr.... i mean

...... damn .... the golf

Enough of that

stuff and back to the meet. I'd be up for this one, what about the rest of you lads? It would certainly kill a few hours on a Sunday afternoon and afford us the opportunity to check out some decent jap motors and show off our own

As regards the sham element that Shane can't help but mention at every opportunity (damn southsiders, NOI lad

), this is gonna be an issue regardless, if you go to enough car shows\events\meets, you get used to it and it becomes less of an issue.

How are we fixed?

Steady on boys.......

I can happily confirm that I am indeed a straight married man :twisted:

and maybe oneday (after it get's Revo'd) the golf can claim to be straight too.....

CJ, I should get you out for spin - you might be suprised (as long as you don't have to go round any bends yet.....)

I've stuff on - but to be honest I probably wouldn't go anyway - saving me money for Revo

All you'd be spending money on is petrol!

I hope not but I heard a rumour that you have to run 97/98 RON with the Revo chip - I hope not cause at €1.22 that could be a bit to rich for my blood.

So we got many of you lads coming along ?

Just to make everyone aware that the night out has been cancelled as we didn't see enough interest etc for organising of Taxi's and free passes for the night out so for all those that were interested and forgot to contact maybe in the new year we can arrange something.

As for the meet thats is still going ahead and here is some directions for all interested :

" 1-From M50 or M1 motorways take the exit for Dublin Airport,turn right at Airport roundabout then left a the next smaller roundabout.About half a mile up that road there is a layby on the right,thats the meeting point for 2pm.

2-To go to the meet location from the M50 go straight on at the Airport exit and go straight through the big rounabout and straight through the next small roundabout headind for Malahide.At the next junction take a left at the traffic lights and carry on straight for a couple of miles,when you pass through Malahide village there is a carpark about 500mtrs up on the left side opposite the Island View Hotel.The car park has a yellow height restriction bar at the entrance.Meeting there at 2.30pm.

3-To go to the meet location from the M1 go straight on at the Airport exit and go left at the next exit(M50) heading for Malahide and then follow the instructions above.

CJ,
Did you go along in the end? If so what did you think? The feedback on the IMOC was not so good.

Bearing in mind the lack of interest from fellow owners, I didn't bother heading along in the end.
