The Ballsbridge Beetle

[bugeye]

A Bump for anyone traveling from Limerick or surrounding counties on Sun morning,

I am heading up the M7/N7 on Sunday morning if anyone want to join in. Going early enough to allow plenty of time for lack of speed and stops.

Will be at B&Q , Limerick for 07:45- 08:00.
Leave B&Q at 08:15, going up M7.
Stopping at Portlaoise Plaza Junction 17 about 09:30. (Coffee and fuel stop)
Leaving Portlaoise plaza 10:15.
Should arrive at VW HQ at 11:30

Fair play to Coxy and all at VW Hq for putting on the gathering today. It has to have been the largest meeting of exclusively air-cooled VW's ever in Ireland. So many cars came out I'd never seen before and many cars and faces I hadn't seen in years. If anyone took pics, stick them up.

 

[Fkellier]

Sounded like a great event. Gutted I couldn’t get down! Well done everyone involved, hopefully there’ll be more big events like that in the future !

 

[jim1500]

Any pics dudes?

 

[Bugboy]

Any pics dudes?

I just tried, but every pic I selected came up as file size too big.
Smart people on here….help!

 

[Coxy]

Here we go! Some photos of an amazing day. We had a fantastic turnout of vintage VWs so hats off to everyone for making this a superb day.

 

[Coxy]

Well done to Rez, our resident DJ who added the chilled out vibe and backtrack to a unique experience. Thanks to Darren O’Rourke for the photo because my iPhone pic is too large and wouldn’t upload
Thanks Kev You brought the cool factor

 

[Coxy]

A few more. I didn’t actually get to take too many pics but the team at Classic and Exotic were on hand to capture everything, as was Anthony Murphy who got some very cool shots of people arriving in convoy. Thanks Anthony. I’ll gather all the pics and do a better upload but if anyone has any pics, feel free to add them here. The more the merrier

 

[jim1500]

Cheers for sharing pics Looks an amazing day, some turnout!!!

That's only a handful of the VWs there - I can't upload a lot of the pics but you get the idea
