Apart from the excellent show that Martin puts on every year, I have to say a massive well done to Mac and Michele for letting us all party at their place last night. I didn't go on the run and didn't get to Mac's until late but pulling up the drive was like driving into a festival.......and a VW festival at that! There were Buses and Bugs lined up on the grass with tents up and more struggling to put theirs up........
cough....JUSTIN.....cough!
The set up was great. I was there on Saturday morning and Mac was setting up which involved cleaing up the Clubhouse, and like any workshop that took time. Then he was busy setting up the decks on the flatbed of the V-Lux. Top job Mac
The car for me was definitely Liam's new shagginwagen! That is some serious metal and is a credit to all involved.
The other great car for me was the Kubel replica. It makes you wonder when you look at it; where do you start when you decide to build something like that? I looked at the pics a while ago and there are loads of neat touches that I missed but I'll definitely be checking this out again in more detail.
Well done Mac on
ANOTHER trophy
I'm glad there's lots of space in the workshop for trophies the way you're picking up prizes! well deserved though Mac :goodjob:
I missed all the prizegiving so I don't know who won what exactly but congrats to the Dollery clan, Alice & Gritz who all picked up prizes :nr1::nr2::nr3:
As Kev said already, well done to Tonyvw for making it to the show. It was great to see the Beetle drive in.
Before I finish up there is one person who made the weekend for me, or should I say, made the cookies for me. Michele (1L) those cookies were
FRICKIN BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTIFUL :rate10:
I really enjoyed the eirBQ in Mac's last night as did all who were there. Beag, who was only staying for a short while ended up leaving there after midnight and faced a 50min drive home to Thurles but that just shows the eirBQ was a real success. Well done to Kev for spinning the wheels of steel or plugging in your iPod; either way the music was a1 sharon
...................we won't mention that he started his set with jedward :sucks:
The club stand looked great (Kev, have you got the banners?).
There seemed to be a lot of people walking around with parts, moreso than previous years I thought which is good to see and maybe next year the trade area will be bigger. I picked up a nice set of ATS rims for my cal look project so I'm happy in my nappy
Here's to an even better 2011
