What a wet day :evil: ...the rain didn't et up much all day
Despite this, we had a grand day
Forgot the camera and hadn't time to go back for it...was dark when we got back to base
It was great to see all the eircooled cars and busses together...a nice drive and a few stops off at pre-arranged places and then into Ballymote for lunch....the kids enjoyed it too....rounded off by jelly and ice-cream and of course the chocolate sprinkles as requested :roll:
One guy went along in his polo saying he wouldn't take the beetle out on such a wet day these cars really are precious

God almighty! These cars were aircooled to cope with harsh german winters so they wouldnt freeze! A bit of rain over here is hardly reason enough to leave it at home! First time I drove my bay, and in fact any bay, there was sleet and hail, thunder and lightning and serious wind. I still managed!
I have two or three - will stick them up tonight - it was just too shaggin wet for the camera. I was blown clean onto th wrong side of the N17 on my way home last night. My heart stopped for at least two minutes. It was my own fault - dropped my concentration for all of 1.33 seconds and nearly killed myself and the babby. Ah the joy of it all. The winds were definitely gale force after dark yesterday. It was a very enjoyable day all the same - a lovely drive and a nice meal.
We took some pics of the Pop Rivet Racer in Kilkee yesterday.....while trying not to get blown into the Atlantic. Terrible weather conditions for driving. Luckily we all made it back to Kerry safe.
Ruairi said:I only got two and they are not worth the effort!! Sorry :-(
Claire - throw up a few pics of your back yard there - that was pretty much what was at this meet (of interest anyways)
