Trim Car show

Trim Car show

Hi all,

Just to let you guys know that there is a car show on in Trim Co-Meath tomorrow. It generally a good show and is based beside the Castle. There is usually a good turn out and a good few aircooled cars there. Not as well organised as some shows but a good day and a nice drive.

 

[RattyOval]

Will i see you there Robbie?

I'll be in my silver bug.

 

[Robbie]

Not sure if I will make it down. I may go down as a spectator as the misses does'nt like the beetle with the baby as its two noisy for him still to young to appreciate the sound at this stage!

 

[mintman]

i might be there

 

[beetlebug]

any pics/reports lads?

 

[riggsi]

It was a bit too wet for pics

 

[RattyOval]

No pics, The weather was shit all morning there was a break in the weather at about 2 so Riggsi and I left for the show
We rambled around till about 4 and left soaked
There was a lack of cars over other years which i'm not suprised at with the rain
Did get a nice few tools for 10 euro second hand and top quality

 

[trev]

do you ever worry that the second hand tools at the shows are robbed? I've avoided the temptation to buy cheap 2nd hand tools at shows because I'd feel bad feeding this market. My dad's garage was turned over years ago, I'd put money on it all his tools ended up in car boot sales/car shows being sold for peanuts. He's a mechanic, the tools were his way of making a living. It took him ages to get a whole new set together again...

 

[beetlebug]

true trev, in a previous life i was a wooden floor fitter, had the van ransacked a few times and lost all power tools, thousands to replace....not nice!

 

[RattyOval]

do you ever worry that the second hand tools at the shows are robbed?

Sometimes, but I also worry about new tools for sale at shows etc.

 

[sam]

I didnt take any pics cos it was too miserable. nice selection of cars though considering how bad the weather was

 

[RattyOval]

Ya always need to look in the background of the photos

From boards.ie

 

[Brian Raftery]

So what are we looking at? You and Riggi taking your kids for a walk or the person behind the Ford van picking there hole?

 

[RattyOval]

I missed that

The fellow picking his hole of course

 

[riggsi]

Thats mad,a few steps closer and it would have looked like you were driving the bike and I was sitting in the sidecar.
