wish i could...

blue bug = prob loose flywheel ( next job to be tackled)
red bug = project ( longterm. prob gonna be a full body off resto)
orange bug = new rings etc...but work progressing well
gold bug = dont trust it enough yet for long journeys ( have a plan up my sleeve...all will be revealed in good time!)

plus im back to work, so time playing with the cars has really been curtailed.

I would like it if the organisers actually organised something or instead gave us permission to organise the display!!! - Then we could do something really cool and make an effort / vw show out of it

So Ann's more or less given ya permission to organise the display, what do ya have in mind?

Lovers of the Seaside will be descending on Tramore for the third annual Tramore Oceanic Surf and Sea Festival from September 23 to 26 to join in one of the manyfreeevents andworkshops featuring on the festival programme.
Free Irish Wildlife Trust Seaweed Workshops, Eco Walks, Seafood Foraging, Green Energy and a Coastal Eco Workshop with Coastwatch Ireland all feature on the programme. The festival programme also features a ‘Farmer’s and Country Market Extravaganza’ on the Promenade, half price surf hire and lessons from all four surf schools, dry sailing tuition, Rock-painting with the Middle Earth Venture Scouts, Face-painting, a Non-Electrical Picnic and for the car lovers a classic Volkswagen display, a 60 place free Ladies Surf Weekend, Festival Special Menu’s at The Towns Restaurants a Mini Surf Film Festival and much more.
An old tradition of the bathing women of Tramore, of carrying seaweed dolls along the promenade and then later throwing them into the sea, will be revived, where on Sunday 26, at the festival close, a parade with the Sea Shanty singers The Hooks and Crooks, will take place along the Tramore promenade parading a ten foot seaweed doll which will then be tossed into the sea just like our seaside ancestors did nearly 100 years ago.
A full programme of activities can be viewed on www.oceanics.ie or find us on Facebook. Festival special accommodation rates can be found on www.tramoretourism.net

Hi Everyone,
BTW - The Custom & Classic Bike Show is on Saturday 25th & Sun26th September at Tramore Racecourse.
On the Saturday night there is always a brilliant line up of bands and good craic to be had - camping is free and admission of the main stage area on Saturday night is €20.00

Perhaps it would be worth making a weekend of it and coming along down to the Promende on Sunday for the VW Display and the Surf and Sea Festival fun!!

Ann.
