So does that mean that the rest of the lads have to wait and see if the historic lads take up places first and then see if the rest of us modern day Beemers are allowed to attend????? If that is the case then maybe next year because its probably to late now we will have to have Club stand which allows all years of Beemers to be displayed Might get talking to the organisers this week myself to see if I can pull anything out of the hat for the rest of us at this stage (they owe me a few favours) Topazman Edited by topazman |

Maybe another stand with some nice newer cars would be a good idea cos it will promote the more recent happening in the club which is centered around the later cars.
I'll happily man the stand and offer the car.Anyone else? |

Count me in Richie; that day couldn't suit me better! Plus, it gives me an excuse not to bring the Rover on a trip to Dublin!! (But Sweetie, I have to bring my car because it's going on a BMW display....!!!) What time do we have to be there? And who else is definite? |

Hi all below is Larry's reply to my contact with him. Now will everyone who wants to be on the stand let me know and I will forward the information to Larry. Name and Car, PM me with a contact number that I can send to Larry, if we have 20 cars on the stand it will the second biggest event for the club after the track day
Hi Gerard,
Sorry for not replying to you sooner. I am only back
from the UK today. Basically, I have being neglecting the Show
due to pressure of work. I probably should have said I did not havethe time to organise things properly, however, I will probaly deal with this on a last minute basis. I have booked 20 spaces at Terenure, so if you count my 2002 and my brothers Z4 we would need another 18 cars to fill the spaces. It would be great if you could use the club forum to recruit more exhibitors. I think models up to E30 would be best, but its only my personal opinion. There are loads of classics on the members register, but i will not have time to phone potential exhibitors. I will
be away until the Sat. pm of the show, but I will organise some display bits and pieces if the members can provide the cats.
Regards,
Larry

I think " models up to E30" sums it up.

Richie In fairness, I don't think Larry's view is unreasonable. The title of the show is "14th Irish Classic & Vintage Motor Show". The definition of classic is open to debate on the fine points, but its reasonable to imagine that current mainstream models in any range won't yet have attained what is perceived as "classic" status, even if we can probably give a reasonable guess of current or recent cars that have the potential to be. It takes a while for a car to be regarded as having attained classis status and 15-20 years is a reasonable starting point for for the process of deciding. Its no reflection on the newer cars.

No larry said he would like models up to E30 but that was his opinion but if a Z4 is attending then that means all can display the show is only called classic because that is what it originally started as but now is open to all old and new cars. The event is also for charity and Norman Wisdom was at the event last year as he is a friend of one of the organisers. I have to work at the event so I cannot help at the stand but can help in other ways as some of ye might know TOPAZMAN Even boy racer Max Power cars are allowed attend it just hasn't had a name cahnge to just a car show Edited by topazman |

Is it any good for people with run-of -the -mill cars like mine going up to show the car and try to promote the club?

If we want to promote the club then we go to show that not everybody in the club is driving very expensive bits of machinery and that it is for down to earth blokes like you Fey and the rest of us Topazman |

I agree Dergside...it is a classic car show and thats fine.Maybe it's nit the opportunity we're lookin for.Think I'll be goin a a spectator to this one.
I think this show promotes a very different side of the club that we are all heavily involved in. It's more for the guys in the 2002 club who meet every Tuesday...they'd benefit more I think. |

We're gonna be away that weekend so I'd say if you ask nicely Richie I'm sure Dee would lend you the E30. You could go in that rather than that fancy modern thing you call a car!!! Edited by JohnH |

I'd say they'll be lucky to get 20 cars, so i'd imagine a few of us might get to display our cars if we want. I think the priority should be promotion of the club though and if they need extra cars to fill the display then we'll be there to oblige.
@Niall - can you please edit your signature to include UUCmotorwerks SSK, anyone would think you were ashamed of it |

Likewise Richie, I hope to get a chance to toddle along to it. It may be a different perspective on the club, but its equally valid. I think its important that we try to avoid a "them" and "us" attitude in club activities, whatever the "them" and "us" may be, old, new, modified, motor sport, etc. We're all Gods children!

Having gone the the Terenure Show several times at this stage, there is plenty of "non-classic" cars there too. So much so that the Irish modified car club (not sure of their offical name) were there in force last year. They attracted a lot of attention... but I don't think it was the attention they wanted. One BMW they abused struck a cord with me. As for BMW stand, I felt the few cars that were there were vintage/classics in the true sense of the word, but that was it... there was VERY few of them. In fact, I think it was last year when I only remember 2 cars at the side of the field with space obviously booked for more but with no other cars to fill it. |

I think the best thing to do is to get a list of those who are willing to put their car on show and then submit it to Larry
Whoever is interested in doing this should post below or wherever, stating their username and their car |
