Great day out, some serious cars, and I didn't get completely roasted for a change. Result.

Thanks from the Limerick Classic & Vintage Car Club to everyone who supported the 2016 show .

The sun shone & there was a great turnout of VWs from all over Ireland ,which
made the voluntary efforts of the organisers & helpers worthwhile.

Once again Rez / Kevin provided tunes which created a great atmosphere ,though Mattie Griffin on his stunt bike provided serious noise competition at times

Some random memorable moments this year were provided by.... a guy who came to the show in a helicopter , the large plastic drum of petrol inside a Beetle which ballooned "nicely" in the strong sunshine heat & the Mk 1 Golf whose interior electrics started smoking ..thanks to vigilant onlookers disaster was averted !

Thanks to Volkswagen Group Ireland & Retro Classics magazine who were the main sponsors .

The LCVCC will be making donations to local charities following the success of the show.


Some more nice photos of VWs & other stuff ;
