Right folks, deadline is looming for this one and i need pictures for the article, i know i know, last minute and all that, but hey thats how we roll. so...

Im after a good bunch of pictures from the day, i know stump took a load of brilliant ones and johnnyghia, if you are willing to share this would be great, i cant get you paid for these pictures but i can get your names mentioned as the photographers in the magazine.

I would like shots the show the event in all its glory, no shots of me in person, or dave in person, cars is fine, i want the picture to reflect your day not mine or daves.

If you can start posting pics up here that would be great, we have till the 5th of Jan to get them finalised, its going to be a cool issue as it will feature The Aircooled Drag Day and the Uk Cal Look Drag Day, who do you think had the biggest attendence for cars on the track ;-)

So do us proud and start suggesting some good quality pics please!!!!!

If you bothered your arses and went out and bought it and read the content you will soon realise the South gets far more coverage than the north.

no shit lol!!!!

it does say "Irish Drag Day" on the cover, thats not my words or editorial, i have tried my damned best to keep both sides happy with what i have written in the magazine, i put my heart into it, i am sitting here somewhat bemused as to why i have 2 "Dislikes" on this. If someone else thinks they can do a better job then feel free to crack the fuck on.

you bought the magazine and read the article and this is all you took from it :wallbash:

as far as i am aware eircooled is not about being North or south its about VOLKSWAGENS the cars and vans that we own and drive its not about point scoring for this side or that .
Ben and Dave put there heart and soul into organising this event and making it the success that it was.
do we really need this petty small mindedness creeping in to try and take the shine off of what was without doubt
the best volkswagen event that this country as a whole has ever seen
