For how long, Derek? What will you do with the M5? Ship it over and go for some Vmax runs in the desert?

M car will stay in France for my trips home! I'll just have to find something out there to buy to keep me occupied!

It could be up to 8 years if all goes to plan, if not it'll probably be back to Dublin - I know sounds the same, it's just well, wetterbigcryoh and you have to pay tax, lots of tax, still the roads are good and it'll be nice when they put the roof on!

Dublin - Roads - GOOD?

NO combination of the above could EVER be right (except, possibly, Dublin Roads!!!)

Dublin roads? GOOD? Are ye mad?!?

I speak from long experience of ruining (hired) Fiat Punto suspension assemblies on them, along with long trips along the back roads of Co. Clare

There is a little technical difficulty with the words "refurbishment" and "Eyre" and "Square"

You are familiar with the 18 month long 5 year development, then?  Do you come over here often?

I know what I mean....biglaugh

Right so if I'm to end up back in Ireland I think I'll get me a 2CV... we were out terrorising the sleepy inhabitants of Den Haag in one (4 up) last night, it was a giggle and nothing was too much trouble for that wafty floaty suspension!!

I have been watching this with concerned amusement, particularly when the last contractor threw its arms up, downed tools and walked out!

I try to be in Ireland (usually Co. Clare) once a year, usually in December (foxhunting purposes). Haven't dared ferry the Six over yet, because of road conditions. Mind you the new motorway stretches (M7) aren't bad.
