""Hi Paul,

If you can get these as far as Macroom, I can go and get them and bring them up.""


Thanks Tony,but I've no way of getting them to Macroom... thanks for the offer though.

fantastic work on the trophy, Paul - a work of art. And what a great idea with the key rings - very cool.

Last night started preparing Zippy for Jumpstart, and like Coxy, took him to the local garage to hose him down, then a quick.... well, quick for Zippy..... drive back to dry, clean, polish, and wax.




The today realised I hadn't changed the fuel hoses - so into the motor factors in Athlone for some fuel hose and a filter - so hopefully now all ready to roll on Saturday morning.

Looks stunning! See you and Zippy tomorrow.

Two of us set off but only one made it. The joys of classic VW ownership.

All sorted in the end.

Although I was only there for a short while it was so good seeing all you guys again. Just telling ceara it must be close to 3 or 4 yrs since I last saw most of you. Great show lads. Excellant class of busses and cars. Had a great spin home to cork took the aul b roads and stayed off the motorway till Dermot. It is a joy to drive dust hahaha. Good to have met her previous owner again today. Although he was in premium parking all day. Lol

A big thanks to all involved in organising today - it was a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday

Here are some pics taken on a walk from one end to the other:

And those Specials - available in any colour you want...... as long as it's Orange (maybe Orange is the new Black afterall)



And this one will be fine - I'm sure it'll polish out....



Lovely colour




And not just Bugs, Buses and Ghias....



And an example of how to do a resto right. This was in fantastic condition (I'm sure it was at the Mullingar Classic show last weekend)

Great to catch up with ye all and a great day out.

did anyone get any pictures of the grey/black German look 1303?

​​​​​Got no photos at all today

 

[trev]

what a fantastic day out! And the night before too I was delighted that the Special Edition Beetle display turned out well and that everyone who committed to bringing their Special Edition Beetle was able to make it. By the end of the day we had no less than 11x Power Pack Beetles, 3x GT Beetles, 1x Jeans Beetle, 1x Last Edition Beetle and 1x Anniversary Beetle. While all were welcome and I was really grateful that they could make it, the line up of all the Tomato Red (orange to everyone else!!) Power Pack Beetles and the GTs was really impressive.

I only took a few pics, what with all the buzzing around, chatting with folks etc but here they are.

The Power Packs & orange GTs:

The Anniversary:

The Last Edition and yellow GT:

The Jeans:

Raftery pretending he knows what he's doing. He was actually trying to change a fuse...

Coxy did a brisk trade in the "Free Candy" bus:

I hadn't seen Keith nor the Eco bus since Jumpstart 2016. The bus is wearing its patina beautifully. Keith on the other hand.....

and then the last few I took as cars rolled out and headed for home:

and that's it
