I am really sorry I missed this , was tied up with something Saturday Morning and even tried to fly to BFS but no flights on Saturday from Cork , Yes Mon / Fri and Sunday but No Saturday , Alvin has told me a few stories apparently He even met a 'Vegetarian ' that must have been some shock for the poor 'Country Boy ' :wink: :wink: :wink: I hope Our representative from The Peoples Republic ' of Cork behaved Himself and didn't discourage anyone from visiting for the Big event in May .

tbh i think the ambassador did a grand job of drumming up interest! :p He was even asking the staff at the restaurant to come along!

Shame you couldn't make it Gerard, would have been great to see you, sure we can make up for it at the ball tho!

Wee bit of video for you.

Just a quick unedited clip of Hugo, Aaron, Lesley, Ian and myself trying to catch up to the group again when we got seperated near Scrabo.

I'll be doing a better job with the rest of the video later on but this will do for a start. :D

Oh yes, well fairly close to them anyway..... :twisted:

I was doing my best to keep up with A Soundkitted Cooper, a GP, a One Seven (but with Lesley at the wheel :lol: ) and thought I was doing OK - Then Ian comes past me in the Cooper 35..... :roll: It was only after the run I asked him if he'd had any mods done - Exhaust, Manifold and suspension I think he said. Brilliant car! 8)

I did make up some ground on the brakes into the roundabout though..... Must get them looked at! :lol:

That's right.
Ian has similar suspension setup as my Mpi and same manifold etc.
Makes a great car greater 8)

All I'm saying is that those of us who were "a bit down on power" were having to drive in a more spirited manner to keep up.... Its a compliment, honest!!! :wink:
