And back home........
The lady locked in the sat-nav has been rechristened Penelope, and she did a fantastic job getting me home!
I also played fuel-light Bingo, but chickened out when the range got to 30km (that is so not like me), plus I was in Port Laoise at that stage, and hadn't a clue where the next station was after that!

Big Thank You to Mike! Was good to meet you!

Was great to see everyone again....hope to see you all in April, but will definately see you all in May!

have a few photos, will pop them up later on.....

Not home long, had to guide everyone through the mountains after the infallable Ger O'Leary took us down backroad after backroad leading into hospitals, factorys, but no macroom. Thank god the rest of ye followed :) Had to return my little MINI to Mum's house, and collect the Rover, and promptly tore the mudflap off the Rover taking it down off the kerb outside the garage. So another job for me to do at the weekend.

Mike, legendary day. Even if I was up at the crack of dawn charging batteries and washing my car, it was definitely worth it. The Newmarket Parade was good fun, the Kanturk better again, but I'm glad we kept Milstreet until last, it was a great long drive through the town, and the crowd seemed to appreciate it. Donated my tires to the local roads there, so did Chris Blackham, so if anyone has 17" tires they'd like to donate, I'm open for gifts!!

Lastly, we'd no official photographer today, as Pete wasn't there, and I was Stigged out. So everyone who took photos, please post them here, and I'll get them on a gallery on the front page asap. Thanks again Mike, and thanks to everyone who attended - especially our new members, Misstrixy - good to put a face to the name, and ginger spice in the Cooper Diesel, and especially thanks to Der for driving all the way down from Dublin, you're a lunatic :)

Yes it was excellent fun...well done Mike... thanks a million for all your organisation. We had a blast... although driving back through the mountains in my temporary "S" was a little on the hairy side... thanks for navigating Kelly....(I guess someone had to show how to really drive an 'S'!!!)
That's some record though... 3 parades in the one day...and who said it couldn't be done!!!
A fantastic day out Mike..and thanks again! Was great to see some new members as well.... I hope ye guys are coming to MTI!!! You cannot miss it !
Sarah

I'm so ashamed....I only took 12 photos on Paddy's Day.

They are up on FB, and I will copy them across later (or possibly tomorrow.....!)
