By the way, on your way North from Dundalk you didn't overtake a lovely Irish registered 850 T5 Estate in that Turquoise colour?

Urgently needed to spend a penny hence foot down! Would have kept going for Newry but the old lady needed a drink £43 to fill in Dundalk

Passed loads of S60 and a few S80 D5s, didn't see any other 850s

Had a play with a Aston V8 Vantage coming up the M2 outta Belfast, i lost miserably What a noise and what a car and only 80 grand more than mine

Very nice folks... Hope you all had a pleasant day. Unfortunately I was working and also tied up with moving our gear. Hope and plan on coming to the next meet.

480's looking very nice chaps... And a credit to all of your cars, some very nice examples there. Isn't the 1800ES a beauty

Talking many thanks

hi all,

Darren cracking job with those photo's .I feel an official club photographer position has just been filled ;-).

William, Fran ( and Family) it was great meeting up with you and thanks for making the effort ( William you got an excuse to stretch that t5 for a while ) . Don,Ivor,Anthony,Jerry and Martin, Darren and not forgetting John and Linda it was great to see you all again as well .

The drive was from Dublin partially into the Dublin/Wicklow mountains to a spot called Glendalough ( an old Monastic Settlement).Lunch was had at Lynhams Hotel in a village called Laragh ( highly recommend the Carvey if your ever passing ) and then a steady drive home as the promised rain appeared.

Once again thanks to all for making the day a great success and i look forward to the next one.

regards

brendan
