Thats just not good enough Dave, I think I might have to confiscate your Zed as punishment. :lol:

MJ, if you're coming up from Cork that morning, I'll be coming in from that side of town (near Croom) and I can meet you on the road if you want directions to Maxol?

I'd say I'll be kipping in herselves place tonight Tom so I'll prob be in limerick anyway Tom, might be meeting bernard at the same place we met the last time if thats ok? Not 100% sure yet but I'll text you later on B if I am.

By the way, she lived in Gorey last year and apparently theres a market in the quare every saturday so meeting in the square mightnt be a great idea, theres a tesco in the town which might be a better meeting spot?

Great day guys and a big thanks to colm for putting it all together

Thanks to everyone for coming along today, I believe it's the biggest Irish FTO turnout so far

Thanks to CJ and Seb for their walkie talkies, those that helped keep the convoy together, those who convinced the Chinese restaurant to bring the Chef back to cook for us, To Martin's missus and Misterbishi for their local knowledge and to everyone else who helped.

Got a bit hairy convoying with 19 cars, people got lost, but it all worked out in the end :D



Get those pictures up!

It wouldn't be an FTO-ireland meet without splits in the convoy, u-turns and lost drivers!

Great day, fantastic turnout and the weather held up which helped.

17 FTOs in one place is a new Irish record, well done to everyone for coming out and making the day :)

CJ

Great day :D

Loved the spin from Johnstown Castle to Kilmore Quay (All the whiteys and a token black)... Great buzz!

The trip back to Dublin wasn't bad for the adrenaline either... Cheers CJ :shock:

Thanks everyone for all the organisation. Can't have been easy!

And I came home with a medal of honour... an FTO-Ireland sticker on my rear window. If Carlsberg made... etc.

Clear motorway needs to be exploited (within reason of course ;))

Mark, we ditched the overnighter idea a few pages back in lieu of a day trip...
