I have a few on my camera taken in the rain after the meeting and possibly look darker than the montage Richie made above.

Did you get to take anymore pics Richie, or was the weather just too poor. Is that your car Ludo ?. Looks very impressive who ever owns it.

Nah I got stuck behind an Astra with no headlights who decided it would be safer to crawl along.I'm convinced he had drink on him too.Anyway,I got past eventually and took the Enfield bypass only to get stuck behind another 30mph idiot.Astra went through Enfield and got ahead again.Eventually got past the Astra and he then used his full beams to light the way ahead.Say no more!

I remember a car behind me with one sidelight - couldn't tell what it was. On the M4 coming up towards Maynooth I came up behind a van with no rear lights (only saw when I passed him that his front lights were on). Flashed him and he then flashed his hazards twice! Would be interesting to see the car with one sidelight come up behind him! Anyway, what happened you at Kinnegad? Did you take a scenic route as you disappeared from bhind me! Surely you weren't held up in that car of yours!?! |

Some interesting things on the list there isn't there.I'm lookin forward to next year already.Shame about the weather on Saturday as it pretty much forced us to go home.
Anyone see the black 7 series on the main road back to dublin with absolutely no lights on in the dark in the wet.Bl**dy plonker. I think he was behind you for a bit Killian. |

Anyway, getting back onto topic, thanks go to the following who braved the elements to come down to Mullingar:- Topics discussed were:- I think people were generally satisfied with the events held during the year but it must be mentioned that most at the meeting were not active members of the club until recently and did not attend all events . |

For cost, an hotel room for 2 or 3 can be found for 45/50 yoyos/room with 3 breakfast. Boat (or shuttle) will be the most expensive thing here. As for time, probably 6hours accross englend and then free motorway accross france, blegium, holland, luxembourg and germany. Leaving on friday morning, we should be around nuburg late in the evening (don't forget, foreign country means higher average speed!) or stop in belgium/luxembourg and a bit more driving in the morning. |

Sounds good Ludo. What would we be talking about in terms of time. Maybe go on Friday morning, returning Monday evening. I'd be on for it for sure. I presume we'd go as a convoy, and stay in a local budget hotel to keep costs down. Dave/Z3M - What do yee guys normally do, and have yee any contact details etc. |

Yes, very good article on Top Gear. It was amazing to see how efficient the whole process is to get onto the ring circuit, just get your ticket and queue up at the entrance barrier and how reasonable it costs. No mention of the ring taxi though.

A good discussion indeed.an enjoyable three hours or so.id say the evening part of that wedding would have bin good craic!an organised trip over to the nurburgring would be something else.was watching topgear tonight and clarkson was over there trying to do a ten minute lap in the new jag diesel.he did it eventually only to be beaten by a local girl who never drove the car before by 48 seconds. Only 13 euro to do the circuit and 140 odd corners. There must have been half a dozen E30 M3's out on the circuit at the time plus a zm3. |

A good discussion about the season gone by and the season to come Many suggestions about trips abroad, Frankfurt show, The 'Ring, AGM in May and motorsport evnet in Wales the same weekend One person took on the possibilty of getting more tickets for club members for the BTCC weekend in July (hope that one works out) As well Kirkiston we should look at Pembrey and Anglelsey in Wales for weekend away track days.
