I did half that trip with Britt. his van was just in from the USA if wasn't ready for January Irish weather it was freezing in there. I think he left at 5am and got home at 12 midnight, its a long day but the show is worth itAsk Britt about the drive, he did the return trip on a cold wet day in January in the green westy.

your talking about a man that drives up mountains in feet of snow in a bus with more holes than a swiss cheese! on a yearly basis .
I think im a bit of a pussy in comparision
Any info on the July 20th gathering in Tipperary would be great as we are heading over with friends to tour Sligo and Mayo for a week and hope to drop by the event then head back north.
Is there camping at it?
I noticed it starts at 12 on the Sunday, is it a small afair, any stuff being sold etc?
Cheers

Anyone up for it?
Hey Brian,
There isn't much being sold as it has evolved into a static show on the Sunday from the swapmeet it was a number of years ago. I would definitely recommend it as the numbers go up every year and it's a very casual event......jeans and t-shirt is fine but chinos would be nice if you would like to make an effort
The drive on the Saturday will bring you through some nice countryside too.
From a holiday point of view there are some lovely drives in the Limerick / Tipperary area so you get a show and touristy stuff while you're down this neck of the woods.

Bought myself a navy karmann beetle 1302LS, you can see it on classiccarsireland.eu, its a cabrio with a cream roof, so excited, my first vintage car. So do I have to pay o enter into the run or the car show?
Think I remember that one, is it the one on Fuchs with a light coloured roof? Lovely car
No charge, just turn up.
Very nice car, it was discussed on here recently - I think you have very expensive deep 6 Fuchs on it too.
