2) Niall1
3) MKoop
4) Sailorbaz (Possibly with JonnyS in tow, but no car)

We're maybe heading to Mondello on the 27th May for a nosey about, with the possibility of hooking up with Whopwop and his CSL. I'll be taking mine down but Jonny might be just chumming me along with the idea of taking a few drinks the night before. It's all pie-in-the-sky at the minute like, but it's an idea of a place???

ChrisB? The Donk?

[niall1]

Is that the trackday.ie day?

[LeinsCSL]

I won't be able to get there for the whole day, but might drop down in the afternoon to say hello

What's the plan for afterwards? You boys heading back up north or staying around for a few :beer:?

[sailorbaz]

It is aye, someone on that BMW-driver.net told me about it and then asked if Whopwop fancied it.

Don't know yet, as I say it's all pie-in-the-sky but her indoors is away on her Hen for the weekend so never know, :thumbs: :beer: :beer:

[whopwop]

YES, ive got clean underpants at the ready (my brave ones) and my helmet polished :clown:

[LeinsCSL]

So is anyone planning on heading down to this thing in Cork afterwards then? Got me thinking...

[LeinsCSL]

Right, car won't be getting used much before then, so I'm going to have me a little road trip that weekend to give it a run. Mondello on Fri 27th May, then down to Cork afterwards so see what's going on at that meet in Blarney
Hopefully :beer: & :partyman:, especially as I'll be celebrating the 50k mile mark I think

[sailorbaz]

Sorry I never replied to you sooner but yeah, I might be heading down to Cork for the craic and of course some beer! Then again, I 'might' have to head over to the UK to do a Fire Fighting course, I'll see. I still fancy a wrecking match in Dublin though on the Friday night! ;-)

No probs Baz. I reckon Guinness has fairly good fire extinguishing properties too :drinkers:

[niall1]

Anyone else going? How many do we have now?

[niall1]

4 days to go..
Looking forward to this! :thumbs:

on the car for the day out.. :whistle:

[sailorbaz]

I was really looking forward to this but now having to go to Scotland on Friday due to the High winds yesterday cancelling my ferry. I was supposed to be over now, and back tomorrow ready for Friday frollicks!

I look forward to some good photos for next years calender boys!

Niall, what exhaust is that?

That's crap news Baz

Looking forward to hearing that thing on the car Niall

Sorry to hear that Baz. I bought the exhaust off cantfind1 off here.

It's a full 304 stainless steel tig welded custom exhaust with 100 cell Redline race cats that was made for his car. It has no baffles and the centre section is mirrored off the SS X pipe with centre silencer. It's supposedly 99 db at 3/4 rpm.. :whistle:

@LeinsCSL
Thing is right. NOT SURE IF IT'LL STAY ON AFTER THE TRACK DAY.. sorry for shouting but I'm a bit deaf at the moment ;)

[LeinsCSL]

That exhaust was sounding savage on the motorway the other day Niall :thumbs:

Have you left it on?

[niall1]

Great to meet you on Friday. It's still on for the moment.. ;) When I get a chance to download my pic's I'll post them up. In the meantime here's a few from another site:

Better late than never.. My old laptop was on it's last legs so was waiting for a new one before I got around to pulling a few shots off the camera..

and Jeff the standard exhaust went back on the car today along with normal pads and normal geometry :gayfight:
I did 3k mikes in the last two weeks and am deaf as a post, didn't realise brakes don't normally wail like a banshee around town and as for tramlining along the gouges in the roads around here! ;)

[sailorbaz]

Looks like a good days craic had, damn this job sometimes, really.

Home again next week, any upcoming stuff happening of interest?

[LeinsCSL]

Cheers for the pics there Niall. I can see the benefits of a decent SLR over a phone camera now ;)

Baz, Irish Festival of Speed coming up at end of the month in Limerick:

http://www.irishfestivalofspeed.com/

Going to take a run down there to see what it's like

[niall1]

Cheers for the pics there Niall. I can see the benefits of a decent SLR over a phone camera now ;)

:thumbs:lifetime investment! Keeping those memories alive..

I'm gutted that I probably won't make the FoS in Adare as it's literaly on my doorstep. Looks like I'll be away with work :banghead:

Jeff do you remember the GT3 sliding out of Dunlop while we were having a chat on the pitlane, well I managed to shoot off enough stills to cobble this together:

[sailorbaz]

Had a wee look at that festival of speed, looks like a bit of craic to say the least.

But, I don't think her indoors would be too impressed heading away down there 4-4 1/2 hour drive for a car thing 6 days before our Wedding. Then again, could be a nice excuse to get away from it all... :thinking:

[whopwop]

What about a spin up to Kirkistown, its close to your neck of the woods Baz

[sailorbaz]

Anything upcoming at Kirkistown?

There's a Trackskills thing happening on Sunday, I might take a run to if I'm home on time and the car's MOT'd (and passes) on time. Booked for Thursday but I'm not holding my breath that I'll be home by then. :bigcry:

Never been to one of those Trackskills doo's.... :whistle:
