I plan to make the trip on Sunday morning (not too early, will arrive there maybe between 11 and 12) presumably via Enniskillen and M1 to Lisburn and then down to Downpatrick. Can somebody provide any tips/directions about how to navigate through (or around ?) Downpatrick to Bishopscourt Airfield (I know its a few mile East of Downpatrick)?
into downpatrick on the A7 belfast road
end of road at roundabout turn right into town.
cross the next set of lights
cross the next set of lights slight left bend
50 yards cross the next set of lights then uphill
downhill to next lights go straight across, keep left of the white house opposite .
.
uphill for a few hundred yards then turn left signposted bishops court
follow road for 7 miles to bishops court
Neil at rockvale graphics has done me some signposts, it will be signposted from the junction in the last picture in the post above, that left turn up the hill is important, dont miss it. Follow that road for approx 6 miles to the end, at the junction turn left and within a mile or so bishopscourt airfield circuit is in on your left, follow the entrance in and bear right go 100 yards turn left into the airfield
Balls..! Spewing oil upwards out of 356 engine and have about 30lbs compression on number 3 cylinder...nothing like a bit of pressure a few days before...!
Bad news, you've probably holed a cyll. or broken a ring. Tear it down and then bite the bullet and stuff a big VW engine in er.
Hey can we get a Techno Geek to do some streaming video for those of us who just live too far away?
there is next to fuck all 3g coverage at the airfield britt, there is some but when punters turn up it drop out pretty quickly, there is no way to get connected to a line either. Im thinking your going to have to patiently wait for someone to upload footage of the day.
Yea, thinking it might be a ring alright, it's hemorrhaging oil to be fair. I'll have something there, just maybe not the car or engine I originally wanted to be there...

Tatra it is so...
Google Maps says it's 2hrs 37mins from Buncrana to the race track...allowing three hours in the camper/Ghia, that's me and Claire leaving at 7am to be at the track for 10am

Jaysus your camper must be quicker than mine if you only round up by 20 minutes
I was thinking of meeting for a coffee and then waiting for waifs and strays and leaving at 7am from McDonalds would be the way to go....??? lol
