Have tickets but the van is obviously a non runner at the moment so will probably give it a miss this year as we have a small child :(

I may still pop up in the car with a tent, can anyone confirm if you can pitch a tent next to car or is there a separate car park / camping area?

Your not allowed pitch tents in the carpark. The carpark is kinda out side the main festival boundries.
Contact Benny or Louise and tell them the situation (including your classic VW been broke) and your with the Eircooled gang they may give you a pass or email to allow you bring your car in.

If you want Bennys number I can PM it to you

Ok thanks for that, I have just mailed them at the info address. I am sure Benny is up the walls today so I am not sure I should ring him.

Got a quick response from Louise, its a no go to bring the car in unless its a classic. I may still come for the Saturday night, now where to find a baby sitter.

Excellent pics Luke. Glad to see you found an engine that got you there.
What happened that green early bay? Did you talk to the owner at all?

That's Pete limbo noise. I think on here.
That happened on the way on Friday night he was very pissed by it. Not his fault
Kombi noise maybe?
Didn't realise he had got ANOTHER van. That's a real shame as it looked like a great one too.

Some fuckwit drunk driver pulled out in front of him on the way to the gig. He didn't have time to stop or swerve. Its Pete that owns it, the chap on here with the black T25 with the sort of stonechip stuff on it that was on the eireball.

Took the beetle down to this instead of a van, it was her first big spin out. Went really well..

Great to meet a few of the members there too.
Really enjoyed it, will definitely go again next year.

And a lovely beetle it is too! Nice not to be the only one there this year with a beetle. There was also a white 70s beetle down by the musicmaker stage on the last night and a yellow beetle pickup type thing.
