No problem Helen, list updated.

It looks like we'll have 12 FTOs in attendence so we we should break all previous records ;) The IMOC have posponed their meet so it will just be FTO heads on the day.

Satanta, we're meeting up @ 11.30am and then heading off for Paintball at 1pm, you would want to be leaving early to catch us ;) See previous posts in this thread for directions, address info etc.

I was hoping to make the meet (not the paintball) but I'm laid up at the moment so I'll wish you guys the best and look forward to the photos.

I even washed the car in anticipation!

What can i say that hasn't already been said, it was a great day with a great turn out, i'm just pi***d i was ill, hence i didn't go out as planned tonight but hey today made it worth it anyway,

it was great to meet up again with the usual suspects CJ,Kev, Kace,Dave, ect
And it was brilliant to meet up with some new faces Agent.S, MFFTO, Danny,Pt FTO,Russ,Mustang ect Yes i know i'm probably missing out names but my sieve like brain just won't function correctly so i apologize in advance so as to not offend.

And a big thumbs up :smt023 to the "widows" :D friends and family members who had to stand around and put up with us taking go knows how many pics and talking none stop about our P&J's

It's just a shame the the meetings are starting to come fast and furious now that i going to England :evil: but hey you can't get rid of me that easily, i will be back....ok too corny. i will return :)

Great meet again, thanks to CJ for organising the meet and the paintball!

Well worth the drive up and down from Cork, got home shortly after 10. Stopped in Mitchelstown for some juice, 522.5KM from 41.5 litres, so pretty pleased wth that! :D Worked out to be 34.5 mpg or 57 kmpg.

Great to meet the faces from last year again (CJ, Kace, Mustang, Mark) as well as the ones I hadn't met before. I'm not sure whether matching most of the cars with owner names before they had even been parked meant I spent too much time on here... :wink:

Some sweet cars there, they all had something to offer of their own. Evo was impressive too!

To top it off the car is still pretty clean after the Templeogue texaco wash! :wink:

Looking forward to the next one! :smt023

Big big thanks to everyone who came along on Saturday (especially those of you that travelled up), while 12 cars doesn't sound like a whole lot, it was the biggest FTO Ireland turnout yet - the picture below says it all.I'll get some more pics up in the Meets section during the week. There were some cracking FTOs on display, everyone had managed to ensure their cars were nice and clean despite the earlier rain. As Daz mentioned, the 'FTO widows' should be congratulated for their patience, the same should be said for Iano C from the IMOC who brought along his cracking EVO and had to put up with all of us guys talking non-stop FTO.

Aside from some 'logistic issues' on the way up to Crossfire, we all managed to get up to Kiltiernan in the end, paintball proved to be great crack, 60 odd people running around a forest with cocked and loaded weapons was some sight!

It was great to see some old faces again and put names to the new ones, thanks again to everyone for contributing to a great day, I hope this is s sign of things to come for future meets :smt023

Edit: forget to say thanks to Russman for showing us the way up to Crossfire, if I was up front, there would have been a few U-turns as per the drive home ;)
