I've got to get it all put back together tomorrow but I've all the bits and pieces - as long as I can get a charge out of the dynamo afterwards then I'll be there. I'll know for sure tomorrow but I'm reasonably confident
 
Bad news

Bad news

Sadly the 1500 won't be going on the Wicklow run. For a few reasons.
Some of the new bits of chrome will be in on Monday. The engine has been sitting for
the last year. And a run like the Wicklow run isn't really apprioate for it.
It needs to be run in, the brakes are all new. Have to sort the insurance out.
So I'm much happier to have it on Tuesday and have it 100%.

But I will be there in the daily, for the last time.:thumbsup:
 
So the route plan.

Meet at Spawell 11:00 A.M
Have a chat and kick tyres
Move the convoy on around 11:30
Head into tallagh taking the N81.
Into Brittas, followed by Blessington, the Holywood
and into Laragh for the food. We can have another spin after if people want.
We can leave that up to the day.

Lunch is reserved for 01:00P.M

Looks like I've to pull out guys. Turns out I have to drive directly to thurles straight after my nite shift tomorrow morning and if I dont sleep durin the day I'll either fall asleep in work or at the wheel so sadly I have to be sensible about it! Enjoy the spin, and take lots of pis :)
