As you may know the visit to the transport museum is scheduled for Sunday 1st May. The museum opens at 2pm and contains a collection of public and commercial vehicles (don't think they hold cars!) but is supposed to be a great trip. I plan this to be a more family orientated event compared! I have contacted the museum and hope to have finer details about this later/tomorrow but in the meantime:- Further info about the museum from http://www.nationaltransportmuseum.org - www.nationaltransportmuseum.org ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |
]. Anyway, if golf is a runner, who wants it (so I can pre book for you) and do you want it before or after the museum visit?Replies:

Is the club coming out to Howth to visit me?? Considering the transport museum is about three minutes from my house and I've never been I'll be along for a look. There are nicer places in Howth that the Deerpark to eat though. ------------- |

There's the 1) restaurant in the Bloody Stream (pub in the train station), 2) Deep, restaurant on the west pier (booking prob needed but nice) 3) Aqua at the end of the west pier (not cheap) 4) Cafe Ciara at the end of the sea front, chipper you can sit down in, it's quite nice 5) Beshoffs - take away chipper 7) Abbey Tavern, pub grub 8) Big Blue, nice family restaurant, recommended 9) Ella, in the middle of the village, restaurant / wine bar. Nice for dinner. I hope this helps. If emergency facilities are required for injured / dirty children etc I can probably oblige! ------------- |

Just after spotting that the 1st is a Sunday and the 2nd is a bank holiday and on the 3rd I have to be at the airport. Could end up making a weekend of it! Thankfully, there are no mini-Feys so it really could be a plan. However, where's Howth??? ------------- "http://www.tempoantiques.com"">

Howth is the eastmost part of Dublin on the nortsoide. If you head out from the city past busaras just keep going straight and it is about 12 or 15 miles. There used to be (presumably still is) a large factory just opposite it

Yep that big cement works is still there BTW anyone coming from the M50 should just keep going straight through all the roundabouts and juctions into (Baldoyle), The Road curves to the left (Nasty speed ramps) then you'll pick up the signs for Howth - very simple. The map above sort of takes you off towards Portmarnock but its not necessary unless you want the scenic drive in which case go into Malahide and follow the coast road all the way round.

Honestly can't remember the name of it - probably too intoxicated going
to or from pubs / restaurants or too busy watching for speed traps
which there can be a lot of around Malahide, Portmarnock and Howth so
watch the speed lads. Easy targets around these parts and big boy racer brigade which can draw a lot of unwanted attention. ------------- Martin In BMW exile at the moment (Shame on me for lurking!!!)

Looked like a nice day out - nice motors around. Who was the 98
E36 keeper and what was it, Looks very clean although not sure
about the growth hanging out the back of it. Pity I missed it.

Topazman - don't worry cos everyone thinks I'm driving a 318is with all
the kit - which suits me fine. Anyway I'm sure there'll be no problems
distinguishing your netx motor (M Power post) That 98 is a smart car, I wasn't sure as there wasn't a clear pic of it to see stance and the seats, the exhaust was what threw me. ------------- Martin In BMW exile at the moment (Shame on me for lurking!!!)

Thats a great colour on the E36. Looked like a serious discussion at one stage about your boot Ritche?

I love avus blue only problem is it looks very tired once it gets dirty so have to keep on top on the cleaning and in this weather its a nightmare. Also lads if you aint got an M3 lose the badges haha mtec kit is ok but M badges! -------------

M3 badges... No! M badge fine when you have a M kit as far as I'm concerned. ------------- I miss me beemer! |

Ditto that Ken... I don't see why people hate the M badge so much. I'd accept several beatings with a hot poker if I had the 3 on it but I don't! BMW put an M badge on M-tech cars  ------------- Richie

Didn't put one on the outside of mine - except for the rims. Inside however = dash, shift, seats , sills and most importantly under the bonnet where it really matters But agree on the M3 badges on non motorsport cars, M kit is fair enough ------------- Martin In BMW exile at the moment (Shame on me for lurking!!!)

Saw a Mini One yesterday with an M badge on it, thought it looked ridiculous.Mind you if BMW were to make an official Mini M it could be very interesting. |

When I asked what legroom was like in the back, I meant if you were sitting in the back seat! ------------- "http://www.tempoantiques.com"">
