been to a few meets of other car clubs and enthusiasts in the last year and i must say the turnout was good but when it comes to our own fto club there is always problems on turnout.

Well as there are not that many FTO on the roads in ireland i think any of the meets we have are fairly good , But i know it would be nice to get more together

nice meet guys, fair play to Seb for the organisation, and to the rest of the guys (and gals) for coming along.

Good to see the usual suspects and the new faces.

Despite loosing the posse on the way to McD's, I enjoyed the day, it was good to meet up with some new faces. The Dubs made an effort this time, this will be reflected in the photos (I can't view your links Seb)? Looking forward to seeing the 'F T O' pics (all will be revealed!).

Great meet. Dun Laoighre was fun with nine in a row. Turned loads of heads. One old guy (complete with dropped jaw), you could almost see the thought bubble: Hmmm... deja vue, deja vue, deja vue, deja vue, deja vue etc. :D

Nice job Baldrick. The organised chaos can be seen halfway in at Cherrywood roundabout. I see you got a pic of me plamasing the harbour police!

Guard: Whos in charge here?
Me: I'm represententing the group
Guard: What are yehs doin' here?
Me: We're taking pictures for a magazine article (lying)
Guard: What magazine?
Me: A motoring magazine
Guard: Youse'll have to leave
Me: There'll be no messin', we're not into that sort of thing
Guard: Some of these young lads must be paying f**kin' thousands for insurance
Me: Well, you know yourself guard
Guard: Gwan so, I'll turn a blind eye, I've give yis 15 minutes
Me: Thanks guard, we'll be out of here soon

At this point, there was a motley crue of FTO owners on top of a portacabin protest style, I'm surprised he didn't call for backup!
