Classic Car Live Mondello June 16th
- Thread starter claire m
- Start date
If you're wondering who that rude boy in the last photo is, it's Brian, the owner of the other 356 at the show.......the one that the Porsche owners are still in shock at seeing!!!!!!

You might have seen his Porsche for sale at the swapmeet earlier in the year. The car needs work but Brian was determined to get it back on the road this summer and have fun with it and he certainly is.
When rust is killing your classic what better way to keep it alive than clear stickyback plastic as they say in Blue Peter
And if your handbrake is a smidgen weak, then B&Q now supply universal handbrakes

Padraig and Darren heading out for a leisurely drive in Padraig's 356!
......but for some reason I don't think Darren was as cool and relaxed as he said.......

Thanks again Claire for a great day

Great photos Coxy and Andrew! Coxy you certainly have an eye for the unusual.
Really enjoyed the day, a big thanks to Claire for organising the club stand. My first time at this show and it has a really cool relaxed vibe to it with plenty of action to keep you entertained. Will definitely be back next year again.
Ps: I lost count of how many photos the 356 was in! Padraig you media whore!

Sorry I didn't go now... the weather was brutal here on Sunday and (now I'm almost a Cork man) I assumed the rest of the world was the same.
Getting the tickets was the easy part....fair play to you lads from travelling all the way from Galway & Limerick & to everyone else that made it. Was a good one alright. Bonus having an aircooled car in the track sessions - well done Padraig & thanks for all the pics lads.
First time at this event and definitely not the last. Relaxed vibe, scattering of all sorts of cars everywhere, the tannoy and the sounds from the track going all day, smell of high octane fuel in the air, people with full race suits mingling with tank tops and string vests...and the weather played ball too.
Fair play to Claire for organising this, we had our own area located slap bang in the middle of the park so the buzz was great all day. Hadn't even thought of taking the 356 out on track until Claire convinced me and then it took a little help from Pete to do the signing on as I'd left my driving license at home. Funny thing was when I had to sit down for briefing I wasn't sure what details Pete had used so that took a bit of bluffing when I faced the same registration lady just two minutes later...
Great to meet all, John, Tsar, Pat, Tony, Darren, etc and to put a face to the name of Andrew - great snaps too from Coxy and Andrew from the day.
Had a blast taking the 356 around the track, hadn't a clue of racing lines or taking corners properly but it was great to have a chance to drive the crap out of it for the sessions...even though it did spin on the practice lapp)...love this car, it tore up road to Kildare to get there in time, tore around the track a few times then tore home without missing a beat...I'm wrecked though and a good bit deafer after the day...
