Ehhhh... you missed all fun!!!!

Seriously...  There are many small groups out there and plans how to put these groups interests together. to gain more respect and benefits from society and companies. All of these groups have same interest - BMW.

We had at least 4- 5 different groups and of course some of them felt that its a plan to melt or overtake them.

Anyway... with respect to everybody no dramatic plans made. Only big point was... we are all out there with same interest and we have to socialize more.

I think you meant Z1 rather than M1.
Anyhow, I totally agree with you. We are all here with the same goal in mind - to have a good time between people who share a common interest.

Just teasing them :) M collection was in my dreams.

O/T  I was somewhere in Dublin month ago and probably on the Naas Rd or something. I think I saw nice BMW collection on the showroom window. Def. there was something with legendary BMW colours white with stripes and something I think was M1.

I drove at high speed (again) and had to watch GPS and traffic same time. Does anybody knows where this showroom/shop/or ??? is located and how its called. I want to go back and enjoy the view!

It was probably 50-70 meters from road. Def. it is southside

Frank Keanes BMW is the dealer you're thinking of. Naas Road; Luas line in the middle, other car dealers on the other side (Koping Volvo, among others). I think his white/motorsport-striped M1 is on permanent display along with other classic BMW's.

Frank Keane BMW Location...

The only other M1 that I'm aware of in this country is in the Museum in Mondello.

Never even knew there was a museum in Mondello! That would be a great place for a "social" type meet. I presume you can go there without using the track

Same here! Probably the polish lads from dublin are unaware and interested as well. I think this is brilliant idea to check this out!

I rang Mondello and the museum is really only open on race days but they might consider opening it if a decent enough number were to go. The lady on the phone wasn't sure but reckoned that it costs a few euro only.

I'd be on for organising something like this soon!

Really good talking to you guys and looking forward to seeing you in the new year !!!! 

Maniac cheers for the photos one in particular makes a much abused / dirty 02 look somewhat decent... thanks   

Mondello museum day out is a great idea...
