	It is only really in its infancy and we are planning a track day for around the start of February. However, if you have any ideas for the meantime by all means suggest them here. We had a general meet and concours @ motor import near the naas rd. recently which was good fun. M5 in Dublin traffic? Do you have an fuel tanker following you around?

	Killian, It's been a while since I was involved in any car clubs or organising their activities - the last being a 4x4 club in Kuala Lumpur and that was all about getting muddy in the jungle! When I was with the Lancia club we'd normally combine a track day with a weekend event whereby we'd get together on a Saturday morning, do the fun stuff on the track and then retire to an old hotel for the evening. Sundays were normally a concours & touring rally. Unfortunately due to lots of motorway miles my beastie won't be up for any concours prizes - unless there's a prize for most stone chips! (Does anyone know a reliable paint shop that does a good job on stone chips????) As I'm not sure I want to be taking the 5 onto the track quite yet, I've been looking at the following possibility. It''s not cheap but friends who've done say it's worth every cent. http://www.rallyschoolireland.ie/scripts/home.asp

	the track day should work out @ about �100 depending on numbers. I am trying to get more info on insurance for the day. By the way if there was a concours competition for the most stone chips then i would win hands down
