are people familiar with the Octane.ie "Cars'n'coffee" concept? It's where someone nominates a location, picks a time, usually Sunday morning and car enthusiasts in the area who are at a loose end at the time turn up to talk car shite and see other people's cars. Oh, and since it's usually arranged around a coffee shop/cafe there's usually some kind of hot beverage involved. It's all very informal, nothing is organised other than the location and the time.

Anyway, there's one arranged for Limerick for next Sunday, in Jetland (I presume that's the new Dunnes opposite Supermacs, or maybe the new Tesco on the Coonagh roundabout). I'll be in Adare for the weekend so I'm thinking I might bunk off for the morning and join the meet up. Anyone else in the area available to head down?

same thing I suppose but I never get to any of the evening meets, it's a bit far for me on a school night. Sunday morning is better for me cos I can pretend I'm going to mass... ;)

Cool. I like the idea as you'd get to see cars that you wouldn't normally at classic shows etc. Ricers and all.

I dunno, I went to one in Carrickmines back in December, by no means a forum regular. I found they were grand. You do get a couple of snobs in prestige cars who turn their nose up at my auld ratty Derby but most of them are just petrol heads and like almost anything on wheels. Found them fine. I'm sure the Limerick crowd will be alright, sure we'll see...

Yeah I think it was the Carrickmines one he went to! - Maybe its him!

It was the same at the Boards.ie cruise, myself, Rocky and Lazy turned up but they were'nt too chatty either, must be the Yanks vs Vdubs snobbery!

Have you seen the Dublin Hot Rod cruise???
