It's only the beginning of the Summer, yet I feel some hard decisions to be made later in the year when it comes to voting on the 2013 Calendar!!! A massive jump in quality of photos. :)

Trev and myself enjoyed our day receiving VIP treatment from the Retro Classics lads, head massages and foot rubs laid on all day as well as someone for wafting a few palms over us while the sun was out...:p

VIP treatment....you mean the special OVER 40's treatment package they were offering??? :p

Now that you mention it - phone camera pics probably won't cut it any more, and now is a great time to grab somebody to arrange taking a few photos (if you don't have access to a DSLR) and want to have of your car/bus in for voting in the 2013 calendar.

I'm sure there are a few on here that would be up for a photo shoot. ;)

Great show & thanks from the Limerick Classic car club to all those who
supported it this year from all over Ireland ,some travelling long distances to
get to Limerick. It takes quite a few people to run a show & it's rewarding
to see nearly 600 cars roll in.

One guy even brought 10 vehicles !.....John Knightly's/loadsabuses BMX collection ,saw lots of people checking them out .

Music by Rez added to the atmosphere & was much appreciated ,even by the Mercedes
club !
Saw many cars wearing the 2012 window stickers by CM signs in Thurles ,looked very well .

High standard of cars at the show & congrats to all prizewinners, especially Wayne MacCarthy on VAG Best of Show with his green oval, it's been several years since an aircooled VW has acheived that at Limerick.

Great photos in this thread capture the essence of the show ,loads of people having fun with old VWs in the sun :)

Here's to the next 20 years !

Thanks for all your organisation. I was delighted to play again despite complaints from one auld fart in a honda hat.
One of my favourite shows of the year.
Roll on next year!
