dinner not always great at the moment but it is a great landmark on the N17 to meet folk 8)
I've tried to send mail to workshop@eircooled.com but it got returned 'mailbox unavailable or not local'. Not sure if the problem is at this end or not.
I'd say myself we are probably fully booked at this stage... 8) we are packed out with motors here :shock:
I think it is:
Ruairi
Hugh
Declan (Deckie27)
Ger (Oxygenplasma)
Timesnap
Tom and Eamonn will be there and me and little uns too
If you won't be going now, just post here so we know - no hassle

I won't be working on the bus needless to say - so only 4 cars - that is plenty me thinks - we will have more of these if it goes well anyways Hopefully someone else will volunteer as well as Tom & Eamonn or they will be busy men Maybe as he teaches us we can pass on the knowledge - although that could be like mechanical Chinese whispers :twisted:

Due to Hugh and Timesnap having unexpected other plans there are two free places. This is a great opportunity to learn about car engines and servicing in general - and especially VW air-cooled. It is free - if you can't make it let someone else know - we really want to get 5 or 6 people for this so as we can make it worth the time Tom & Eamonn have put into preparing for it. We will be doing more workshops during the year, but we might not get back to servicing your VW engine until 2008, so make the effort while you can (and while it is free).

Excellent workshop, great to meet everyone. Thanks especially to Tom and Eamonn for the knowledge and Claire for the hospitality. I reckon I could change a carburetor blindfolded with one arm tied behind my back.
Looking forward to the next one!!

Thanks for the invite, My trike was something different than people expected to see today.That cuppa was just what i needed to warm me up and we'l see you soon. Once again, Many thanks and good luck with the club. Alan....Southern Ireland Road Captain, BTW Ireland Chapter.
^^^^^ Officially a VW Beetle!!!!!!! :shock: What a cool trike
Thanks a million Tom, Claire, Eamonn - that was a great day - learned a lot - yes esp. about carbs!!! I really didn't think I would come away knowing how to clean and rebuild one - very cool. Neither did I know that oil was required in two places in my engine!! Jasus! I even felt inspired to go home and take off the wheel of my golf and try and fix that feckin sticking brake for once and for all - didn't work, but it was fun trying in the dark!!
