The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

I know they pay anyway but did I see somewhere that each car is only allowed one other person besides the driver? Cause I'd be bringing 2, Drew and my kid neighbour. If theres a limit would someone who has no other person mind taking one of them in in their car just into the grounds?

The norm is that anyone aside form the driver pays. For the last few years though FTO Ireland has been allowed carry a passenger in as well. i would imagine any more than one passenger would incur an extra entrance fee.

Ya thats what I'm saying, I know each will pay, well actually the young fella is under 12, they dont pay do they? But I wasnt sure if each car is allowed to have one or more people besides the driver in it going in.

f**k it gonna send off the entry form. why not. oh any i have a spare helmet. the helmet for a small head would be the one for me

Can't see the issue here - why would there be a problem with numbers in a car - surely the more the merrier from the organisers point of view.

Under 10's are free - I'm sure that young fella you are bringing isn't any older than that anyway!

Maybe its the drifting I was thinking of so, cause they're not allowed anyone else in the car while competing or something, remember that from a couple of lads getting disqualified last year.

Colm, just banged my form out in the post there today!

Is anyone doing an overnighter on the 13th/14th or are those from the east side heading down on the sunday morning??

Yeah I'll be doing an overnighter..if there's nothing much happening in the local area I might stay around Portumna or so..but if there's a bit of a hooha on the cards that could change..

There will be the usual BBQ at my place on the Saturday night - all forum members (& + 1's) very welcome. BBQ, music and craic will be provided - usual FTO meet with the added benefit of having a few beers inside you while you take a look at the FTO's.

The sooner you get your name down for accomodation the better. Convoy from the B&B/my place on the Sunday morning as per previous years. Of course members from Limerick / Clare who don't need accomodation should just mark BBQ down on the thread so that I can cater for the food.

Ah nice one Shane, I didn't know if this was going ahead this year again!! Fair play to ya!

I have a spare single room. First person I know to PM me is a rotten egg and all that...

And I don't bite

Pttft! - I don't think you can exactly fall home from the BBQ to your place OI!

You don't have to fall, I'll drive whoever home. Actually, please tell me you don't live in a bog or something, as I may leave the car at home so (after hours cleaning). But Derek can drive home anyway.

Again, as per Bernard's gaff, is there going to be enough room to park 10 cars or so at your place?

Looks like i'll have to pull out fellas. Found out last night that the gearbox needs to be rebuilt. I'll remove my name in a few days when I know more...

Sorry to hear it, you're not having much luck are you?

If my lowered and skirted Zed is ok to drive to my house then I think you can take it your FTO will be ok.
5 miles from Killaloe on the main Scariff/Ennis road - http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=2&ie=UTF8 (click on MyFeckin FTO profile).

Plenty of space for 10 cars +

Bring the FTO - it is an FTO meet afterall.

Shane, no, that's not what I meant, as in, are the roads leading to your house country roads i.e. covered in mud, puddles etc...

See, I'm working Saturday, so the car will have to be washed... you know what, I don't even know when I'm going to get a chance to do that either. Anyway, if I don't bring it, then I won't have to get up at 7 Sun morn to wash it again...

And Kenkeo, I can bring my helmet if you like, but I'm talking seriously small girl head, and it really does have pink flowers on it...

There's some pretty cool after hours war wash just down the steps from shanes house.. Dave and I sorted our cars there last year.

Did I do it that night??

Actually...yeah I did... I believe CJ did his usual shamming me into it, that and the fact he wrote on the side of my car

"don't wash.... spuds planted"

Is there noone else for the show & shine?

There's a few regulars here who's names are missing, 'cmon lads.

We're not doing too bad - 19 cars so far equals last years record and theres a few days to go yet. Pity CJ is on holidays but theres plenty of regulars in the above list to ensure this meet runs as per usual.

Don't let this one pass you by guys - its proved to be the biggest meet of the year over the past few years.

Didn't we have 11 for the S&S last year?

Just got the car back from steelroe. Its lowered now and sounds sweet.
I just have to sort out entry and payment now. Bugger, slipped my mind when I went to France.
I unfortunately dont like giving out my card details, so I wish they had a way I could pay on the day. Its just a tenner.

You're in Limerick, just call in and pay in cash?

maybe - but we only had one drag team - this year we got two.

Dean, i rang with credit card and they said they dont like accepting card numbers so they sent out the receipt with 'To Pay' written on it and I'll just pay on the day.
